Newt's POV:
It was time for dinner, the perfect moment to talk to the greenie. I saw him sit down and went to sit next to him. He still seemed sad and confused but he was obviously enjoying the meal Frypan had prepared this time. Frypan was an excellent cook, though everyone made jokes about his food.
"You enjoying the food?" I asked the newbie. He smiled. His smile was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.
"Yeah, it's good," he answered. I gave him a thumbs up.
He continued eating like he hadn't had anything to eat in days. I wanted to cheer him up and help him get through this miserable phase of confusion. He'd need a friend and I was more than willing to be that friend. There was something about this boy that gave me hope, though I didn't know what it was. The greenie finished eating and looked up.
"You okay?" I asked him. He looked up, straight in my eyes. He had those beautiful eyes, that matched his smile.
"Yeah, I am, thanks." I could tell that he was in fact, not okay.
"It's okay, we've all been through this. It will get better eventually, trust me. We're all in this together." I tried to comfort him. He simply nodded. I admired him for not crying or clunking his pants, like most of us had. He didn't seem scared, just sad and confused.
"Hey, let me get Chuck, he'll cheer you up." Chuck was a chubby kid who liked to talk loads, he was so innocent, it was kinda cute.
Thomas's POV:
I was right about Newt being nice after all. He seemed like a good guy and maybe we could be friends.
A chubby kid was coming my way and I assumed it was Chuck. He did look like someone who cheered people up.
"Hey, are you Chuck?"
"Yeah, that's right greenie. It actually feels great getting to call you greenie, because I was the greenie till you arrived," Chuck answered. I smiled.
"So why are we here?" I was still hoping to get some answers.
"We don't know," Chuck answered.
"How do you mean, you don't know? You have to know."
"Well that's the thing, we don't." I sighed. This place was weird.
"You're like the first person who doesn't treat me like a kid, you know?" Chuck said.
"Well, maybe that is because you are a kid."
"That's not what I meant."
"I know." Chuck smiled. I smiled back.
This place didn't seem so bad after all, though I'd like to have my memory back.
"So ehm, what's out there?" I stood up and started walking towards the walls. I was just about to go inside, whatever it was, when Chuck held me back.
"You aren't supposed to leave the Glade, you can't go into the Maze. That's like the most important rule of all."
"The Maze, what do you mean with 'the Maze'?"
"Did I just say 'maze'?"
"Yes, you did. Are we trapped?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid we are."
My thoughts about this place not being as bad as it seemed suddenly seemed silly. I hated the feeling of being trapped.
"Well there must be some way out?"
"I've already said too much, no more questions." I felt a million questions come up though. Maybe Newt would answer them if I begged him too.
Newt's POV:
A new greenie every month. Who would send people to a place like this? The greenie was probably asking himself a million questions at the moment. I wish I could answer all of them but I don't even know the answers to most questions myself. Being trapped sucks. Everything about this place sucks. "I just wish I could go home." I suddenly realised I had said that out loud. I looked around to see if anyone had heard me but no one was paying any attention to me. They never did. I had some great friends in this place, like Minho and Alby but I sometimes felt really lonely anyway. Life in the Glade seemed pointless to me. I tried not to admit to my thoughts. I always acted like the strong and brave guy but it sometimes got hard to keep that act up. Would we ever be able to leave?
