Minho doesn't know how long he has been living in the lab, but it's been long enough for them to get a few more boys and to move out of quarantine and into a big room lined with bunk beds. Minho became fast friends with Newt, Alby, a boy named Siggy who they call Frypan, Ben, Zart, Winston, and the newest boy Thomas.

Minho has the bottom bunk, and Thomas has the bed above his. Newt sleeps on the bed adjacent to Thomas, and Alby has the bed under his. There are dozens of boys in here, and they are like one big family, but Minho is closest with Thomas, Newt, and Alby.

Minho wakes up before everyone, he stretches before putting his shoes on. He than makes his bed, a habit that he can't remember picking up on, before he makes his way to a room that acts as the cafeteria for the boys, it's the only room the have access to besides the communal bedroom and the bathroom. Minho gets bored and begins walking the length of the room; eventually he breaks out into a run. Alby is the first one to appear in the cafeteria and Minho runs up to him, they nod at each other in greeting.

"What do you think they are going to do to us today?" Minho asks.

Alby shrugs.

"Helpful." Minho says, sarcasm dripping from each letter.

Alby ignore him, "We should get the other up so we can start another useless day."

Minho snorts, "I'm not their mom, they can get their own butts out of bed."

Alby ignores him and heads into the room. Minho takes a seat at one of the tables, waiting for them to get up. The boys filter out, and once every ones out a wall opens and there is of food for them.

The boys get up and take the plate of food that is handed to them, eggs, hash browns, fruit, and bacon.

As the boys begin to wake up the volume in the cafeteria increases.

"They are taking blood today." Thomas says.

"How do you know?" Leo asks. Leo is a boy with naturally tan skin, brown eyes, and curly black hair, he's about Thomas's age.

"Because Thomas is a shucking genius." Minho says with a smirk.

Thomas rolls his eyes, "No, it's because Dr.-"

Minho cuts him off, "Oh yeah, it's because Thomas is basically WICKED."

Thomas blushes in embarrassment, "No, I just help them sometimes, you could to if you actually showed them how smart you are."

"Why would I want to help the people that stole our memories, and keep us prisoner?" Minho asks.

"To get out of here faster." Thomas replies.

"Guys." Newt warns, not want Thomas and Minho to fight again.

Minho goes from serious to joking, "I forgot you only help WICKED because of Teresa."

Some of the boys snicker and Thomas ducks down and blushes.

The boys finish breakfast and are soon separated to do some tests and get blood taken.

A/N Chuck's the youngest, so he hasn't joined the group yet. I haven't read the prequel, so this is what I think happened in The Maze Runner Trilogy. The boys are about 13-15 right now.
