Firstly, I am so sorry that I haven't updated in literally forever. But the good news is that I known exactly what is happening in this story (from beginning to ending).

P.S Be warned – this chapter was written quickly and is a little crappy. (It is basically a set up for the next chapter).

DISCLAIMER: All of the characters and parts of the plot that you saw either in the movie or in the book, do not belong to me.

When I arrive back at WICKED, after finally finding the malfunctioning griever crawled up and moaning pathetically, I quickly dispose of the griever in one of the labs, so I can work on it tomorrow, and head to my room to get changed before I head up to the cafeteria for dinner.

Once I've changed out of my dirt clothes, I enter the cafeteria and heading straight towards one of the food cubicles in the cafeteria, I swipe my ID card and select chicken soup on the menu that popped up and lean against the wall beside the cubicle to wait for my meal

After about a minute I hear the boring monotone that can be found literally anywhere here in WICKED, "One chicken soup for Ms. Katrina Keller. Enjoy your meal". Grabbing my meal I head over to a table where my friends, Thomas, Teresa, Liam and Chuck, are sitting.

When I sit down next to Liam who looks as of he had just sat down himself. He looks up and gives me one of his cute smiles before looking over to Thomas and Teresa. Following his gaze I see Teresa growling at Thomas before finally noticing my presence and giving me an apologetic smile.

"Sorry about before. I tried to stop him", Teresa jerks her head in Thomas' direction, "but he wouldn't listen"

"That's fine", I say letting a wicked smile take over my face. Let him feel embarrassment, let him be sorry. A small voice chants in my head, propelling me forward. "No harm done", I sneer before throwing my soup in his direction. Literally.

"Now we are even"

"Jesus Christ, Kat, it was a little joke. Like you said 'no harm done'. What was this for?" he explodes, sending an icy glare towards me while trying to mope up the mess that I made.

"I…", I begin to say, ready to defend my reasons, before seeing the look of despair Teresa was sending me. We may fight very rarely but they last for days to weeks on end, and Teresa is always in the middle, being my best friend and Thomas best friend (if not more).

Rolling my eyes, I send Thomas a totally fake apologetic grin. "Soz. Karmas' a bich, isn't it?"

"Yeah, whatever. This isn't over though. You better watch you watch your back"

"Ohh, I'm so bloody scared", I say hearing Teresa's annoyed sigh at our banter. Silence fills the air.

"So…", Liam interrupts the silence, with a confused look on his face. He's never really got our playful fighting, "You fixed G4 really quickly. I thought it would've taken you at least a day or two".

Now I'm confused. Raising my eyebrows at Liam, I snatch a bread roll from Thomas' plate, earning a scowl from him. "What are you talking about? G4 isn't even fixed yet. I just dropped the bloody thing off at one of the labs", I say watching his mouth firstly form a perfect o, before having a panicked expression come over his face.

"What did you do?"

"I didn't realise that the griever was not fixed. I… ummm…", he says stumbling over the words that were rushing out of his mouth and looking anywhere but me. "The griever look totally fine and I thought that you just hadn't had time to realise him back into the maze" he pauses to scratch his head.

Suddenly, I feel like someone's watching me and look up to see Jason, WICKED's assistant director and personal pain in the but, nearing our table.

When he reaches our table he gives me tight-lip smile that looks more like a grimace crossed with a sneer, "Hello Katrina. Chancellor Paige would like to know why you released a malfunctioning and obviously dangerous griever back into the maze trails without first fixing him".

Before I can speak Liam does, "Sorry sir, it is my fault. I passed the griever on my way here and thought that it look pretty good so I realised it back into the trails. I thought Kat had already fixed him". I roll my eyes, teachers' pet.

Jason looks taken aback for a moment (he was probably expecting a fight from me) before he regains his sneer, "Ohh, well it doesn't matter who released him. Just that you", he points to me, "go back into the trails tomorrow to find G4 and bring him back here to fix him".

"But…", I interrupt.

"But what?" he says back to me.

"The runners will be in the maze tomorrow and I can't get caught. I will have to wait till next Wednesday to go get the griever".

All of a sudden (it could've happened in a few milliseconds) he eyes darken and features become more cold and hard. "Was that an order", he says mocking me, "I don't care that you are a prodigy, hell I wouldn't even care if you were the Chancellor's daughter. You will go in tomorrow and get the griever. Okay?"

"I suppose I have nothing better to do", I say trying to keep a even voice while on the inside I am shaking a little. I've never heard him get so annoyed or mad.

"Humph", he grunts before walking away.

Turning back to my friends, I see Liam about to open his mouth, most likely to apologize again. I hold my hand up and shake my head at him, "It's fine. No ones gonna bloody die. You'll be fine. "I'll be fine. Calm down".

Stifling a yawn, I stand up and stretch, "Hey guys, I'm a little tired some I'm gonna get some rest. Night". Night, they chorused back to me.

Even though I told Liam that I didn't care that he released the griever back into the maze, honestly I am a little annoyed. I hate going into the maze even on a Wednesday, and now I'm going to have to go in there tomorrow, find a malfunctioning griever and bring him back. All of that without being seen by a runner.

Tomorrows' gonna be one hell of a day.
