Okay guys, I know this chapter is short, but if I hadn't ended it there it would've gone on and on. Hope you like it!
Newt's POV
I hadn't been doing much when the greenie alarm began to go off, so I was near the front of the group that had gathered around The Box. When the doors to The Box opened up, I could hear the greenie rushing to make his way to a hiding spot. With a bit of a smile on my face, I jumped in to get the greenbean out of his shucking hiding place.
As I was about to peer behind the largest of the crates, a rather small shoe went flying and hit me right in the nose. Hard. Grabbing at my nose, I cursed under my breath and looked toward where the shoe had come from, surprised to see that it had been thrown by a slim figure with wide green eyes brimmed with thick brown lashes. A figure who was evidently different from the rest of the gladers. A girl. Shocked, I stared at her for probably longer than was decent (but only at her face, I swear).
"A girl?" Shit. I hadn't meant to say that out loud. The boys surrounding the box were staring, a few making rude remarks. I frowned, glad I had known not to befriend the kind of guy who would be that rude. She asked a few questions, threatening me with her other shoe. She had a nice name though. Ada. I smiled thoughtfully, wondering why it sounded so familiar before telling her my own name and helping her out of the box. What I wasn't expecting was that as soon as she got out of the box, she started running, fast. She had nearly reached the maze doors when she paused.
Curious.
