Whirlwind | The Maze Runner- Newt

TO DO: Learn Frypan's Real Name

Minho waves me, sitting on the bed. Jeff breaths a sigh of relief when he sees me. "I have no idea how you used to tolerate him all day before." He narrows his eyes at Minho who put his hands behind his head and leans back, a proud smirk on his face.

"I used tune him out." I smile, trying not to remember my days as a Runner.

"You will be fine and would be up and about in a day." Jeff say to Minho and hands him a pill.

"Of course, no one can stop this guy." He points to himself.

Of course Minho wouldn't miss out on running now, would he?

Jeff rolls his eyes and goes out of the room, leaving me alone with him.

"You finally decided to come out of the room." He smirks. I roll my eyes. Whatever happens, his sarcasm still remains intact. 

"Where is the girl?" he asks.

"Still unconscious." I sit on the bed, by his legs and he folds them, sitting cross-legged.

"Who stopped her?" Minho rubs his eyes, dark circles evident under his eyes. "The shuck girl was tough, dude."

I smirk. Got beaten by a Greenie.

"Now don't go on telling it to the whole world okay?" he narrows his eyes at me, knowing exactly what is going through my head.

"No promise, dude." I say, dodging his shove."Alby stopped her. Punched her on her face. Said, she almost stepped into the Maze, while the doors were centimetres from being closed. She almost stabbed him."

"Which smart shank here gave her knife?" Minho scoffs.

"Next time, don't carry daggers in your Running bag, smart-ass."

"I've been shucked and gone to heaven.Seriously?! She took my daggers and my food!" he whines, but looks extremely amused.

"You are awfully happy for someone who got kicked in the head."

Minho laughs back, "I appreciate true talent. Finally someone is here who is not a sissy. She would be a great girl, I'm tellin' ya."

Yes, she would.

"Your head isn't in a fabulous shape, she did give you a concussion too hard." I flick him on his forehead.

"Oi," Minho smacks my hand away, "I'm perfectly fine. She didn't give me any concussion! Newt, I'm hurt. Do think she can overpower me? I'm a phenomenon.

"I gotta have some of that Gally's drink tomorrow, I need it. Best of luck with her, I have a feeling she won't go down without a fight." Minho relaxes and lies down, kicking me off the bed. "Now shoo away, and let me sleep. I won't get this opportunity everyday."

I nod, remembering how tired I used to be everyday and craved for sleep. Much more than other Runners though. But that's another topic.

He must have seen the look of hesitation on my face as he smirks wildly, wiggling his eyebrows, "Is Newtie-Patootie scared of the girl Greenie?" 

"Not entirely fan of a girl who can fight." I mumble, ignoring his name for me.

Who knows if she can strangle me with her legs.

Minho start to laugh as he waves me goodbye. I close the door to Minho's room and limp away to the Greenie's.

ADELAIDE

My temples hurt and the right side of my face feels heavy. I groan and open my eyes, taking in my surroundings. I was no longer in the field but in a room and I am alone. Feels like I was on a bed.
