Chapter 2: Outsider

Emma was following Alby around while he pointed at the differente places among the Glade but the girl wasn't really listening. She was observing everything around her. The boys walking around busy, the doors and the maze.

"You'll eventually think about something and decide which of these interests you the moast and then you'll try out for it." Alby said turning to face her.

The brunette noded although she had no idea what she would be doing in here, but she knew se had to figure out something.

"They're coming!" someone screamed next to the wall.

Everyone started running in excitement to one of the gates. Alby motioned for her to follow him so, so she did. Everyone gathered in a semi-circle cheering.

"I should be in there." She heard making her to jump a little turning to see Minho frowning.

"Are you a runner?" Emma asked causing him to let a small laugh.

"I'm their keeper." The black headed boy said with a smirk.

"Why are you here then?" Emma asked although she had a feeling that he wouldn't react well.

"Well I couldn't let the new Greenie arrive without my awesome presence." He bragged.

Emma rolled her eyes at the comment.

"Jeff, the med-jack's keeper, didn't let me. I injured myself yesterday. It's barely a scratch but the shuck his scared to death that I might die from it." He confessed.

"I'm sure that if Jeff doesn't want you to run, it's because you can't or you shouldn't." she girl stated crossing her arms over her dark blue shirt. "He's the keeper after all, so you won't run until he says so."

Minho let out a small laugh.

"You're bossy, aren't you? I wasn't expecting that such a beauty would be bossy." he asked causing her to smile.

A boy that from the cheers she calculated to be Ben was sprinting towards the gate. Once he passed the walls he allowed himself to rest and drink the water that some gladers gave him.

"Look Emma," Minho called her putting his hand on her shoulder. "There's going to be a party tonight to welcome you to the Glade. We do this to every shuck who arrives in that clunky box, so you're comming right?"

"I'll come if you tell me what's a suck and a clunk." Emma replied.

Before Minho could say anything a loud noise echoed through the Maze startling Emma.

First she didn't understand what was happening, but soon she realised that the walls were moving. She wasn't sure if it freaked her out or if it amuzed her, Emma only knew that this was something very uncommon.

"The walls…" she mubled.

"They close everyday at night and open at sun rise." Minho explained.

"To keep us in?"Emma asked.

"No. To keep us out." Minho stated. "Come on. Party time."

Emma followed Minho, Alby and Newt to bonfire where some gladers where already dancing around it to the sound of flutes which were played by other boys. A boy named Gally was "fighting" with another boy who seemed quite younger that him trying to throw him outsider a circle draw on the dirt. Gally appeared to be 17 and the other boy appeared to be 14. It didn't seem very fair.

Gally called Minho to fight him when he threw the other boy outside the circle and Alby and Newt disappeared in the middle of the crowd, so Emma just stood there observing everyone.

The party seemed to be fun for everyone besides Emma who sat on a log a little far from the rest of the group who seemed to be having a blast.

"You don't look like you're having fun." Newt said sitting next to her.

Emma smiled a little to her knees.

"Just tired." The girl said still not looking at him.

"You're handling all this pretty well." The blonde informed making her raise her eyes.

"I am?" she asked.

"Yeah, by now most of us were crying calling out for our momies who we can't even remember who are." He said with a small smile.

"Everyone? Even the tough guys?" Emma asked motioning to Gally and Minho who were doing some kind of drinking contest.

"Oh yeah. You should have seen those two. The gladers stayed awake with Minho's whimperings." Newt laughed and Emma joined him. "Anyway, you'll only feel liek na outsider if you make yourself one."

The blonde said this and left her to her own silent.
