I wake up to the sound of the walls opening. I get up but I'm not properly awake yet. I look out of the window and I see Minho with the other runners going out into the maze. I shudder at the thought of the maze, who would want to go out there every day with no chance of knowing if you're going to bump into a Griever.

I'm going to be working with the builders today and that means I have to put up with Gally. Newt says that Gally is really nice when you get to know him, I'll believe it when I see it.

I looked through my clothes and found denim shorts that go to the knee and a white baggy T-shirt. I tucked the shirt into the shorts and slipped on some white trainers. Then I pull my hair into a messy bun and walk down to breakfast.

It was my third day here and the boys still hadn't gotten used to me, hopefully they will get used to me soon. I got my breakfast from Frypan and went to sit down with Newt, Winston and Zart.

"Morning Greenie." Newt said.

"Morning." I replied.

I hadn't realised how hungry I was until I took my first bite of my pancakes. I started shoving down my breakfast, it was so good. How could a teenager make something this nice all of the time?

In a few minutes my breakfast was gone and Newt was explaining to me how I should listen to Gally and do whatever he says, unless I want to feel the wrath of an angry Gally.

After breakfast I walked over to the builders, where Gally was explaining something to the builders. When he was finished talking the builders went to go do their job and Gally turned to me

"So Greenie reckon you're strong enough for this?" He said while smirking. How I just wanted to prove him wrong and I will make sure I do.

"Sure, I can do it." I replied.

"We're building a new bathroom just for you, with a shower, toilet and everything." Gally said.

I was thankful as I was getting sick of having to wait and sneak around so I wouldn't find anyone else in the toilets, and so people wouldn't come in while I was there. Then I realised I hadn't showered since I got here, I must really smell. I just had to make sure to shower tomorrow morning, when hopefully the toilet would be built.

Everyone was impressed and surprised when I was able to carry the heavy wood and metal pipes from one end of the Glade to the other with ease. I was stronger than I thought. After I had done that, I was hammering the pieces of wood together. It was a pretty easy job even though I got quite sweaty. And I found out that Gally was actually nice and he was really funny. I made some more friends and I really feel like people are starting to trust me and get used to me. I wouldn't mind being a builder but it's a lot of work. I think I'm going to wait until I've finished my Keeper training.

As I worked so hard Gally let me off early. I didn't know what to do as everyone was still working so I wondered into the deadheads. I found a tall and sturdy tree and climbed it. I found a branch that wasn't too far off the ground and was quite thick so I sat down thinking.

I was thinking about anything and everything, mostly of why we could be here. Were we criminals in our previous lives? Was this a punishment? Did we choose to come here? Was there a zombie apocalypse in the outside world?

My thinking was interrupted when I heard a rustling in the trees, I looked down to see Newt climbing the tree. When he got up I scooted over and made room for him.

"Hey, everyone told me you had come to the deadheads. Why?" Newt said.

"Just thinking." I replied.

"About what?" He asked.

"Why we're here, Gally let me off early so I just thought I'd come here for some space." I said.

"I know how you feel. But there's no point in dwelling on it. Just wait until we get out of here, I'll give the creators a piece of my mind." He said while I just chuckled.

We sat in silence for a few minutes until Newt spoke up,

"What do you like to do? I mean all of us have an idea of what we used to like doing. Minho's was sports, Frypan's was cooking and Zart's was writing stories."

"Reading, I don't know how I know but I just know that I liked to read. What about you?" I said. I knew that I loved to read but I couldn't remember what I had read and where I had read it. I didn't want to tell Newt that I loved to sing because I wasn't ready to share that with anyone yet.

"Drawing. I love to draw and I still do." He replied. This made me curious, I really wanted to see something that Newt had drawn.

"Can I see one of your drawings?" I asked.

Newt just shook his head and I didn't push him any further, I knew he would show me when he wanted to – if he wanted to.

With that we walked back towards the Glade and headed for dinner.

The kitchen was noisier than I had ever seen it but it was nice that everyone was having fun. We had dinner which was pizza and chips. It was a nice meal and I sat with the people I usually sit next to.

Nothing else happened that night and I went to bed with two things on my mind: I needed to find a book and see one of Newt's drawings.
