Aloha people of the world! I want to say thankyou to everyone who has reviewed, favourited or followed, your reviews are so lovely and they make my confidence go up! I do not own The Maze Runner Trilogy.
Today I begin my job trials! In the morning my first job is with the Builders, then after lunch my second job is with the Slicers. I don't really want to try out the Slicers, because I already know that, that is the job I will defiantly not pick. Slaughtering animals is not my thing. I, however, am excited to try out the Builders.
I lined up with some of the other boys to get some breakfast from Frypan.
Soon enough its my turn. Frypan grabs a bowl and pours some thick hot porridge into the bowl.
"Excited for today then Greenie?" He asks, making conversation.
"Yeah I am actually! Not so sure about the Slicers though." I grin.
He chuckles handing me the bowl which I take eagerly, "I know what you mean. When I tried, I threw up multiple times over the animals. It was not a pretty sight."
I cringe at the thought, "Sounds delightful. Thanks for the image, Frypan."
"Your welcome." He chuckles. I can't help but let out a laugh, I really like Frypan. He seems so...happy.
I walk over to a nearby log where Minho sits, happily chomping away at his porridge.
"No running today then Minho?" I ask curiously. He looks up from his porridge and smiles at me.
"Nope, I shucked up my foot somehow. Clint told me not to run for 2 days." He frowns. I start to eat my porridge as he does the same.
Poor Minho, "Oh too bad. Who's out there now then?"
He sighs, "The other runners, hopefully they'll find something."
I pause and put my bowl on the floor and shuffle closer infront of Minho.
Confused he says, "Um hello?" I roll my eyes and wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. Minho stiffens but then relaxes and wraps his arms around my torso. We sit there for a while, hugging. It was nice actually, just to friends hugging in a field surrounded by a massive maze. Out of the corner of my eye I see Newt talking to Alby and look over to me with a stern look on his face but he turns away back to Alby.
Minho starts laughing, "Your boobs keep getting in the way." I scoff and pull away, slapping him on the head playfully.

"Hello princess," I cock my head at the nickname Gally gave me, "you excited for the start of your trials?"
"Oh yeah, ex-tactic." He chuckles,
"Oi you slintheads! Over here!" Gally shouts at the other builders who make there way over to us. They all say some form of greeting to me and I just smile warmly at them.
"Okay, princess," heemphasizes on the princess, "this is Zee-" a short chubby guy with acne, "-Kol-" a tall muscular guy with short hair, also one of the boys who shouted dibs on me when I first came up the box. Ass. "-Lennie-" a blonde haired boy with glasses, "and Obbie." a boy around his early teens with greasy black hair and freckles.
"Lets get to work then." Gally clapped his hands. "Obbie, show her the basics." He nodded and grabbed my arm and dragged me over to alot of planks of wood.
"Right, all you gotta do greenie is hammer 2 nails on either side of each plank of wood. It'll take quite a while cos' there's so many planks of wood and theres not much else to do than this." He says in a hurry, I barely even catch a word he's saying. But either way he grabs a plank of wood and puts it infront of us, he then picks up 4 nails and hands me two of them and a hammer. He then gets himself a hammer and places carefully a nail on his side of the plank and starts hammering hit in, nearly hitting his finger thats carefully wrapped around the nail. Ouch, if that hits him thats gotta hurt. He finally finishes hammering that nail and looks up at me,
"You see? Easy. Go on try it."
I hesitate and put a nail over the top of one side of the plank and wood, I then start hammering careful not to hit my fingers. He smiles and starts on his next nail.
After we have done 2 planks he pauses.
"How do you do it?" He says quietly.
"Do what?" I ask unsure of what he means.
"Gally."
I furrow my eyebrows, "what do you mean?"
"He used to be a right klunkhead, but then you came along...and now its like hes a different person. Come to think of it, its the same with Newt and Minho, except they never used to be klunkheads ...but they've defiantly been a lot chirpier ever since you came." He continues on hammering his nail, and so do I.
"I don't know," I laugh. "Why was Gally a klunkhead before?"
"He got stung by a Griever during the day." I stop suddenly and gasp.
"Pardon?" Gally got stung during the day? But the grievers are only supposed to come out at night, when the walls have closed.
"Yeah, by the West door I think? They put the serum in and he went through what we call the "The Changing" ", quoting The Changing with his fingers, "its what happens when someone gets stung and they have the serum in their body. They get flashbacks and their never the same person after that." I feel sorry for Gally, I wonder what he saw. I honestly don't want to go through the changing, I'm sure nobody would. Gally just seems so innocent.
"Oh, poor guy." I look over at him, he's working with the other buildings laughing and chatting while putting together some form of contraption.
"You wanna know, what everyone keeps saying about you?" He sighs. I am suddenly very very anxious about what people have to say about me. I just nod my head in response, to lost for words.
"They say that your here to kill em'. While others say your here to help us." He smiles at me,
"And what do you think?" I carry on hammering nails on our 4th plank of wood.
He scratches the back of his neck, "I think your here to help us." I smile at him and mouth the word thankyou.
"You wanna know what else they say?"
I roll my eyes, "Go on then."
He makes a disgusted face, "Its disgusting." I started fiddling with them of my black t-shirt. "They say that they to do things with you and all this crap. It makes me sick to my stomach."
Oh that is truely gross. The fact that anyone would say that is utterly mortifying. I felt uncomfortable living with loads of boys already but now I am seriously uncomfortable.
I scoff, "Well, if anyone ever tries to make a move I will end them and that is a promise."
He smiles, "Good."

Its finally dinner time. Today had been an alright day, up until the slicers. I puked. 6 times. Something tells me I'm not going to be chosen for a Slicer and I am very happy about that. I think I did okay as a Builder, but I didn't necessarily like doing it. I hadn't seen Newt, Minho or Alby all day. I was beginning to get worried.
I take my plate full of pieces of chicken, roast potatoes, carrots topped with this brown sauce from Frypan and sat down next to the log that Minho and I sat at. I start to dig into my plate and it tastes so good, Frypan is definatly a good cook.
"Hey Greenbean." I look up to see a very cute and familiar face. Newt. I suddenly get a feeling in my stomach...not not a feeling. Butterflies. The kind when you see the person you love or a cute little puppy. Newts hair was messy and his deep blue eyes were tired, like he hadn't slept for days, which is probably true. He sat next to me with his plate full of food, and gave me a heart warming smile which made me melt inside. Wait Victoria shut up. You've known him 2 days.
"How was Building and cutting up animals?" He picked up a piece of chicken and plopped it into his mouth.
"Building was alright, I found out some interesting things. Being a Slicer was terrible, I puked 6 times..and guess what I had to clean it up myself!" I whined.
He laughed, throwing his head back, "Oh how tragic. What did you find out today then?"
I blinked a couple of times before answering, "how Gally was a klunkhead before I showed up."
He gasped and his eyes grew wide like he was a child again and had just opened present with a puppy inside for christmas. "Finally! Some shank agrees with me!"
I giggle, "They also said that you and Minho have been more chirpier than usual ever since my arrival aswell."
He pauses and just looks at me, like hes taking in every feature of my face.
"I guess your right." he says, "You do make everything alot easier."
Its here! Finally:) I really hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry if it was a bit boring. Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for the next chapter!
Adios!
