Our story starts in The Glade, two years after the arrival of Bella. Bella, from what the others and herself had guessed, now being 16 had learnt a lot since waking up in The Box; she finally learnt The Glader's slang- but after Newt and Minho spent hours on end each day explaining it to her, she learnt how to live alongside 20 boys- although the number changed with ever passing month- and she learnt that she was the first and only girl in The Glade.
The first year she spent with the boys were tough as not many of them were accepting of a girl living with them, but they began to open up and see her as one of them- the hardest one accepting her being Gally. By the end of her first year, she had already made a number of lasting friendships that she knew (unlike her past life) she would never forget.
Bella's day started of as normal: waking up at 5:30, showering and gearing up, eating breakfast with Minho and the other runners and finally being at the doors for 7:00 sharp in time to run the maze. At the start, not a lot of the boys were too keen on the idea of a girl running the maze but after a while of convincing from Alby, she was given the position of runner.
Not that it took a lot of convincing, within her first week the small girl had already taken down Gally in a fight and slapped him across the face after a particularly harsh insult was fired at her. Some people may think of her as a damsel in distress, but she believed she was the hero of the story.
"Mornin' Bells, ready for today?" Minho asked as he plunked down opposite her on the bench and munched on his daily morning apple. Minho was a tall boy with a strong build, developed after spending two and a half years running the maze, and had almond shaped eyes that told the story of his Asian descent. He had black hair that was styled perfectly, as normal, without a single hair out of place.
"Hmm depends on what your referring to, the maze or the greenie?" She inquired as she raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow in his direction as a smirk crept across her lips. Greenie day was always her favourite day of the month as it brought a new arrival to The Glade and, every month, she prayed for another girl to be sent from below the ground. But her preys fell on deaf ears as, every month, a new boy emerged from The Box.
"Both. Still hoping for a shucking girl to come up?" Minho fired back her way as he reached the core of his apple. Placing the core on the table he folded his hands under his chin while resting his elbows on the wooden table. His head in a slight tilt as he smirked back her way with laughter dancing in his eyes.
"Mock me all you want, you shank but you will see, any month now a girl with come out of The Box and who will be laughing then?" She asked as she rose from the table, having finished her breakfast, she spun on her heel and started the walk towards The Walls "Me, that's who" she stated over her shoulder as she head Minho's heavy footsteps hot on her tail.
Stretching her hands up and behind her head, Bella brushed her chocolate brown locks back and created a makeshift ponytail before using the hair tie on her wrist to tie it back. Continuing the walk in silence, Bella tilted her head back and inhaled the fresh morning air of The Glade and felt it fill her lungs. Exhaling softly through her nose, Bella surveyed the area around them as The South Wall- her and Minho's section- came into view, expecting to see little to none of the other Gladers considering the early time. But, of course, The Track-hoes were up bright and early to start heir long day of tending to the gardens and crops. Sparing a second glance over towards the direction of the gardens, Bella caught the eyes of Zart and Newt looking in her direction.
Zart was the keeper of the Track-hoes- keeper meaning that he was in charge of the boys who tended to the gardens in The Glade.
As for Newt, he was her best friend and one of the only boys who accepted her from her first day- besides Minho.
Noticing her gaze on them, they lifted their hands up and waved in her direction with a large grim printed on their faces as she came to the doors of The South Wall and, before running out of the safety of the maze, returned the wave with a smile of her own.
