DISCLIMED: I STILL DON'T OWN THE MAZE RUNNER BUT I WISH I DID‼
Rain's POV
I woke up from my… Dream? Memory? I don't know. But anyways, I woke up from my sleep feeling like I had been stabbed in the legs. I could faintly make out the outline of Minho, coming to take me to his room.
I closed my eyes and slowed my breathing. I had to convince him that I was asleep. I think it worked, because not one minute later, strong arm were lifting up my small body. I tried to melt in to his comforting heat, and eventually succeeded.
He carried me to his cabin, gently laying me on the soft mattress. He made sure that my head was resting comfortably on the pillow and that the blanket was safely wrapped around me before he went to his own bed, but when he left, I instantly missed his snug presence.
Before I slept, I pondered on the dream. It was most likely a memory, but how? What had triggered it? A test of love… What could that mean? And then there's the fact that Minho was obviously my boyfriend. In all honesty, that was probably my favorite part! I fell asleep thinking about how Rose and Newt had been mentioned.
NINE HOURS LATER…
I yawned and opened my eyes, thinking of the previous night. My sleep had been dreamless, and I only woke to the ray of sunshine just barely peeking through the walls made of logs. Minho was still asleep, snoring like an idiot, but I found it kind of cute.
That day I would test out the jobs. I wasn't particularly excited, as I had already eliminated Slice, Bagger, Slopper, Cook, Med- Jacks, and Builders. Those all sounded awfully scary to me. The only other job was Track- Hoe, not counting Runner. I wasn't built to be a Runner.
I full heartedly believed that the hardest part about gardening would be being around so many vegetables, and I hate veggies. Broccoli makes me gag, carrots make me hurl, and lettuce makes me faint. Vegetables aren't exactly my forte.
Minho woke up, just as I grabbed a pair of jeggings and an aquamarine tee shirt with little triangles on it, just like all of my other ones. Rose's seemed to match mine. Minho groggily lifted his head up, looking in my direction. "Did you sleep well, angel?" He mumbled, his voice coated in sleepiness. I hid a small blush behind my hair. "Yeah. How about you?" I murmured back at him, not mentioning that he had called me angel.
In all honesty, Minho was kind of cute. His messy, midnight black hair, his goofy grin, and his obsidian eyes. It all fits together so perfectly. He kept fretting over my 'killzone' and was clearly scared that he would find new plaques today.
Outside, Newt and Rose were already up, having an argument about how Rose's brain is just fine, but Newt wouldn't listen to her. I ran to the washrooms, changed cloths, and went to help my friend.
Newt was panicking, and Rose was frantically trying to calm him. "I'm just fine, I'm not going crazy, and my cranium is not corrupted!" She snapped. Newt stepped back, alarmed. "I believe you, but the signs said- OW‼"
He was cut off by me punching him in in the jaw. "I don't care what the stupid signs said! You hear me? I. Don't. Freaking. Care!" I growled at the British boy, causing the Rose to go all protective and stuff.
"So, today you get your bloody job. Please be a Track- Hoe!" Rose poked me with a stick, making me go all ninja on her and whack the stick out of her hands. Newt laughed, earning glares from both me and Rose.
Alby seemed to think that now would be a good time to show up, because he did. He looked like a deer in the headlights, his eyes wide. He feigned hurt when I growled at him. "What do you want, dip wad? Can I offer you a life? Or maybe just a friend?" I sneered, pretending to actually care. He rolled his eyes.
"And you call us immature! Actually, I'm looking for Minho." He bit back, not missing a beat. Minho ran out of the cabin, as if on cue. "Right here!" He shouted, grinning. Alby looked upset. "Dude, its nine 'o' clock. Don't you have Runners to Keep?" Alby snarled. "Oh yeah, that! I was going to ask, can Rain come with me today? Oh, forget it. She's coming with me." Minho smiled at me.
Alby rolled his eyes, walking away. I had no idea why Minho would want me to run with him. Wouldn't I just hold him back? My legs are not meant for running, not to mention that I was totally out of shape. If I were only just a little more out of shape, I would be a square.
I was about to ask him, but he picked me up, practically throwing me onto his back. "What about job testing? She needs to be a Track- Hoe!" Rose called, as Minho ran off to the other Runners.
"Okay, so the girl is with me today. I'm not telling you why. Steve, section two. Lars, section three. Kink, section four. Ben, section five. Henry, section six. Cal, section seven. And Misu, section eight. I'll be in section one, like usual. If you need help, come get me," He instructed. I was still on his back as he ran to the supplies.
"Rain. Take a knife, a water bottle, a lunch, some nice tennis shoes, and a rubber band to keep your hair back," He gave me the supplies I needed, and rolled his eyes when I spent five minutes getting my ponytail in. I'm not particularly good at that kind of thing.
He grabbed his supplies, gave me quick instructions to stay with him and always keep running, and we went into the Maze.
