The Greenie bonfire had begun. I sat with Minho while Newt sat with the Greenie. I loved Greenie nights. The mood was always bright and everyone acted like we weren't stuck in a box.

I got up from my seat, grabbing a jar and getting some of Gally's recipe. It was nasty, but the flavor grew on me, and it helped my mood.

I walked over to the log The Greenie and Newt had been sitting at. Surprisingly, it was the log me and Newt sat at the first night I was in the Glade.

"Hey Newt!" I said as I sat down infront of him and the Greenie.

"Hi Y/N" He said with a smile. "I was just telling the Greenie about the maze" Newt added.

"So Greenie, are you gonna join the fight?" I asked him. Newt looked at me like I was insane with asking this question.

"What do you mean?" The Greenie asked me.

"The fight circle over there" I pointed. "Gally fights everyone and the first one to get thrown out of the circle loses" 

"Oh yeah? Gally's an asshole" The Greenie exclaimed. I laughed mid way through a sip of the drink, spitting out Gally's mixture onto Newt.

Apparently while I was gone earlier in the day, the Greenie had attempted to run into the maze AGAIN.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry" I said to Newt, accidentally falling onto him as I tripped over myself. I could feel my heart beating like crazy, but I couldn't tell if it was from Newt, or the drink.

"Y/N, it's fine, I should probably take your drinking privileges away though" He said with a half hearted grin.

"Back to you though, Greenie. Gally saved your life earlier, even if you hate him so much. The maze is a horrible place." I said to the boy

"So we're trapped here... Aren't we?" The brunette boy asked. Me and Newt sat in silence for a minute. Both of us trying to find words to answer the boy.

"For the moment. But, you see those guys over there?" I asked. The Greenie nodded as I pointed to a group of boys.

"Those are the runners. Every morning they wake up earlier than everyone and they run the maze from sunrise to sunset." I began. "They run the maze, memorizing it, mapping it, trying to find a way out for all of us." Newt added.

"How long have they been looking for?" The Greenie asked, intrigued.

"Three years." Newt said sadly. I sighed. I had only been here for 6 months. I couldn't imagine being here for 3 years.

"And they haven't found anything?" The boy almost yelled. I shot him a 'shut up' glance.

"It's a lot easier said than done" I laughed at the boy, taking a sip from my cup. 

A low grumble could be heard from inside the doors of the maze. We shot up and looked at the doors.

"Listen." Newt begun. "You hear that? It's the maze changing. It changes every night" Newt said, pointing at the doors.

"How is that possible?" The Greenie asked. Gosh he asked a lot of questions. I don't remember any other Greenie that had asked that many questions.

"Ask the shucking people that put us here." I said as I sprawled out on the grass. Now I was laying down, feeling the bristles of the soft grass that went throughout the whole Glade.

"That's if you ever meet those bastards" Newt added.

"Only the runners know whats out there. They're stronger and faster than the rest of us" I said, staring into the dark.

"It's a good thing too. If they don't make it out of the maze before the doors close, then they're stuck out there for the night. And no one has ever survived a night in the maze" Newt said.

It felt like gossiping and telling scary stories at a birthday party honestly. Newt and I seemed to have freaked out the poor Greenie, because he didn't even ask another question.

"They're called Grievers" I spoke up. "They only come out at night." Newt gave me a look to quit talking, so I did. All of the talking I was doing was probably from Gally's drink.

"Right, that's enough questions, and those are enough answers" Newt said, giving me a stern look. "Come on, you're supposed to be the guest of honor" Newt added, getting up from his seat, offering a hand to the Greenie.

I sat up as well, I didn't want to be left by myself at the moment, so I followed Newt to wherever he was taking the newbie.

"Hey Greenie!" I heard someone shout from across the campfire. I turned my head to hear the voice that it was coming from. Gally.

"Newt, I think Gally wants to fight the Greenie" I tried to whisper.

Newt, The Greenie, and I, all made our way over to Gally and the rest of the Gladers. 

"What do you say, Greenie? Wanna see what you're made of?" Gally asked with a smirk. 

I looked over to Newt, questioning with my eyes if this was a good idea, and if we should back the Greenie out of this. He just gave me a stern look back which didn't help at all.

Chants around us shouted for the Greenie and Gally to fight. I knew it wasn't going to end well. Gally beats basically everyone when they're fighting.

"Greenie! Greenie! Greenie!" Boys shouted all around the Glade.

"Okay. Alright" The Greenie said, stepping into the circle. 

What an idiot. (Harry Potter reference?!)

Gally explained all the rules to the Greenie, making sure he understood.

A punch was thrown towards the Greenie. Him taking it by moving backwards a little. He winced in pain, but quickly got back into the game. 

I walked over to Gally while the poor boy was still in pain.

"Take it easy on the Greenie please" I said to Gally.

"Yeah yeah" He replied, still in his stance.

Gally had tripped the boy, and now he was on the floor. 

"Come on, Greenie. We're not done yet" Gally said as he stood over the boy.

"Stop calling me Greenie" The brunette growled as he stood up.

"Stop calling you that? What do you wanna be called? Shank?" Gally laughed. The Greenie seemed to have enough of Gally's bullshit, as he tripped the builder. Landing him onto the floor. A couple of 'Oohs' stood out in the crowd.

"Come on!" Greenie shouted.

"I've settled on shank" Gally said, standing up and punching the boy to the floor.

A loud grunt came out of the Greenies mouth as he landed onto the dirt floor. His head looked to be spinning as he slowly lifted his head.

"Thomas" I heard him say ever so quietly.

"What?" I asked crouching down so I could hear better.

"Thomas. My name's Thomas!" He shouted almost making me fall backwards.

"Welcome home, Thomas" Alby said, patting him on the back.

"Good job... Thomas" Gally said, holding out his hand for Thomas to shake. A loud squealish sound came from the maze, sending a shiver down my spine. A Griever.

"Don't worry, you're safe here with us. Nothing gets through those walls" I said to Thomas, giving him a soft smile.
