Newt led me to a house-like structure that served as the kitchen. As we entered the structure we were were greeted by Frypan.
" This is Frypan," Newt said to me as he introduced me to the dark skinned boy. Calling him a boy was a bit of an understatement as he could easily be mistaken for a man. He was bigger than most of the other boys in the maze and had food smeared all over his clothes.
"So you must be the new greenie," he said before Newt had time to introduce him to me. " Everyone's talking about you and how your a girl and all."
He looked me over from my head to my toes as he was examining me. I looked away as I fidgeted with my close. I hated that I was so self-conscious.
My stomach gave off a loud growl.
" Do you have anything for her to eat," Newt asked him.
" She can have some of this bacon I'm fixing up,"he said as he motioned to plate full of freshly fried bacon.
Newt put a few pieces on a plate and handed it to me.
"Thanks," I said.
I took a few bites and was surprised that it was actually pretty good. I don't know why I had been expecting to taste bad
"I guess we'll see you later," Newt said to Frypan as we left the kitchen.
Once we were back outside he explained to me that Frypan preferred to be alone when he was cooking. He hated it when people crowded into the kitchen when he was trying to cook.
I took a few bites of my bacon before Newt informed me that he had some business that he needed to tend to and that he would meet up with me later. I was free do whatever I wanted as long as I didn't break any of he rules.
As I watched him leave I noticed that he walked with a slight limp. How on earth was I suppose to get him to fall in love with me.
Now that I was by myself, I walked over to around the center of the glade and sat down on the soft, green grass.
I needed to do some serious brainstorming if I wanted to be successful in my so called mission. But even if I was successful then what? Would I be able to go back or would I have to stay in the glade. I didn't even have any contact with W.I.C.K.E.D. The more I thought about it the more I thought this so called mission was stupid.
As I was eating me bacon, Gally pass by me as he carried a board over his shoulder. He gave me an unpleasant look and I gave him one that was just as unpleasant before. It probably wasn't the smartest thing to do as I was supposed to be some scared and confused girl but his attitude was getting on my nerves. However, I shouldn't be concerned with him right now. What I needed to do was to think of how I was going to get Newt to fall in love with me. So far I wasn't doing a very good job.
Everyone was running or walking around the glade as they carried out their daily job. I could only hope that tonight they would give me a decent job. I really didn't care what job they gave me. I just hoped they didn't give me a job with the slicers. That was one job I did not want to do.
I looked over to the opening to the maze and it was at that moment when I saw a dark haired figure come running out. He was an Asian boy with thick black hair and buffed arms. I recognized him as Minho. He was the keeper of the runners. He leaned forward and rested out his hands on his knees as he tried to catch his breathe. Obviously was tired out from running the maze.
A few moments passed before two more figures came running out of the maze. One was a blonde while the other one was tall and had a mess of red hair.
Minho looked my way and our eyes met. He stared at me with a surprised look on his face. Obviously because I was a girl.
Even though it made me uncomfortable I stared back at him for a moment before we both looked away.
I looked back toward the maze to see Alby joining them and started talking to the trio.
They talked for a few minutes before they started walking to the meeting house.
I watched them as they walked and as they disappeared into the meeting house. It was just before Minho disappeared that he looked back at my direction and our eyes met again for the second time.
I looked away. My focus was on Newt. I had to think of a way to get him to fall in love with me.
So there is the third chapter. I can't believe that it is already December. November passed way to fast and in case anyone is wondering, yes I did win NaNoWriMo. So now that that is all over with I can now focus on this story.
I hoped you liked it and I'm not sure when I will be posting the next chapter but it will be within the next week or two.
Reviews are greatly appreciated.
