Every other chapter will be in Lizzy POV. The others will be in Newt POV. Just so ya know.
Lizzy PO
V
The other girls started waking up. This was Group B. It has to be.
I recognized one girl. Teresa.
"Where did you come from?" A girl who I presumed was the leader asked.
"My mom." I said.
The girl rolls her eyes. "I see we got a stick."
"Excuse me? A stick?"
"Yes, a stick. Or you might know it as bitch."
"Oh! Kinda like shank!"
"What's a shank?" She asks.
"It's a similar meaning to stick." I tell her.
"Oh. Well to explain what I meant, where was the last place you were?" She asks.
"I was in this dorm filled with guys, and her." I point at Teresa. "We just came out of this giant maze-"
"Wait! Did you say maze?" Another girl asked.
"Yes. You need to listen better. We were rescued by people once we escaped-" I got cut off again.
"We were in a maze too!" The first girl said. "But it was all girls and one boy."
"Wow. That kid had it hard. Probably looking over his shoulder every second wondrin' if you were going to banish him or not."
"Yeah. What about you and her?" She nods towards Teresa.
"I came up first and I had it really easy until this shank, sorry, stick came up and ruined my shucking life." I hold up my hand. "Shuck or shucking means fuck and all that."
"Oh, so shick? Or shicking?" The girl says.
"Yep, exactly. You see before I came to the Maze I had a forced relationship with Thomas. I created a relationship with this one guy, Newt, and Thomas shicked it all up! Then Teresa comes and shicks it up even more!" I exclaim. "We got back together, but it was a really dark time."
"How?" The girl in front of me pushed.
All I do is pull up one of my sleeves and everyone gasps. "Yeah. Teresa kinda pushed me off a cliff with a knife too. Then I recently got stabbed again while saving my brother from this lunatic named Gally."
"I'm sorry." Another girl says.
"I don't want your pity. I almost single handedly got the Gladers out of the Maze. I could have done it by myself if I needed to. The swipe in my brain broke, so I remember my past, but I don't remember talking about any of this - coming here when the Maze trial was over." I tell the girls.
"Wow. That's intense." She holds out her hand. "My name is Harriet."
I take her hand. "Elizabeth."
"Can I call you Liz?" Harriet asks.
I smile. "Why not?"
She grins. "Everyone, this is Liz! She and Teresa came from a group of all boys! Treat them as if they were normal Springs!"
"What's a Spring?" I ask.
"It means newbie. But we say Spring because of the season. Like new things are born or come in the Spring." She tells me.
"That makes a lot more sense than Greenie. It was our version of newbie."
"Everyone get in formation!" She yells.
The girls get into a semicircle around us. They were much more organised than the Gladers.
I counted 20 girls in total, not including me and Teresa.
"This is Sonya. She's second in command." Harriet introduced. "Then Rose, Anna, Em, Jil, Hannah, Rosa,Riley, Mar, Ceec, Rachel, Macy, Mac, Anne, Joanna, Haley, Lex, Eli, and Hazel."
Hazel reminded me of Chuck. She was short, and obviously the youngest one here. She had bright blue eyes that glowed against her dark skin.
Rose, Em, Jil, Hannah, Mar, Rachel, Macy, Anne, Joanna, Haley, Lex, and Eli didn't give me so much as a second glance, so I focused on Sonya, Anna, Rosa, Riley, Ceec, Mac, and Hazel.
Hazel actually held out her hand. "Hello." She smiled.
I smiled too. "Hi."
"That sweater looks too big for you. Why?" She asks.
"Sorry, Hazel is really curious. She was actually a scout. She ran the Maze." Harriet says.
"It's okay." I turn back to Hazel. "It was my boyfriend's." I tell her, a knot forming in my stomach. Who knows when I'll see Newt again.
All of Group B stares at me. "You had a boyfriend!?" Sonya exclaimed. She had a hint of a British accent.
"Yeah. Out of 50 boys and me, you think I wouldn't have a boyfriend? Plus we were sorta, not really, together before the Maze." I told them.
"What was his name?" "Was he hot?" "Were the others hot?" "How many escaped?" The girls were giving me questions left and right.
"His name was Newt. To me he was hot. In a way the others were hot, but they were more like brothers to me. And not including me and Teresa there are 15."
Someone's watch alarm goes off. "We have 15 minutes until the Flat Trans appears." Harriet announced.
Hazel pulls on my hand. "Can you help me with my stuff?" She asked.
"Okay." I agreed.
"We can share my supplies!" She suggested.
"Great!"
She pulls me over to a sleeping bag in the corner. "They gave me two sleeping bags. You can have one." Hazel tells me, handing me a sleeping bag.
I roll up mine, and help Hazel with hers. She hands me half of her pile of granola bars, apples and water bottles. She gives me a sly smile. "I took lots of food. You can have some."
I smile back. "Don't worry, I won't tell." I take off my hoodie, and realized I was wearing new clothes. I had on lightweight leggings, converse, a tank top, and a running jacket. My knife was still strapped to my thigh from the other day. I looked around, and realized everyone was wearing the same clothes as mine. The only difference was the color.
"I like your hair." Hazel told me.
"Thanks. Here, we can use this to hold the food." I say taking off my running jacket. I am using Newt's hoodie, not the jacket.
Hazel ties a very intricate, but sturdy knot to hold our food.
"Wow. You're great with knots!" I exclaimed.
Hazel blushes. "Thanks."
"No problem." I grey wall appears on the south wall. Don't ask me how I know it's south, I just know.
"The Flat Trans is here!" Sonya yelled.
Everyone gathered in front of the grey wall. "We are going to give you a number!" Harriet told us. "Once we go through, we will count off. Make sure everyone is here."
When me and Hazel get our numbers we are the last ones. Hazel is 21, and I am 22.
The girls start going through the Flat Trans. They do it quickly, yet efficiently. Finally, I am the last person to go.
I walk into the wall. I feel a cold shiver run down my spine. I step into a room with a bright light.
AN : Enjoy the first chapter! Some stuff might be off about it, but that's because it has been forever since I read the Scorch Trials, and I lent it to a friend, so I can't use it for reference. Buh bye!
