I and Newt had fallen asleep together until suddenly I woke up by a loud noise. I recognized it immediately and so did Newt.

'Is it already been a month?' I tiredly rubbed my eyes.

'No.' I saw the worry in Newt's eyes as he got up. 'Chuck's only been here a week. The Box isn't supposed to be coming up. This isn't supposed to be bloody happening!' I saw how stressed Newt was.

'Newt,' I started. 'It'll be fine. Don't worry.' I tried to calm him down.

He let out a sigh and turned around for me to get dressed. When I was done he had changed too and together we walked out of the hut. Boys were already standing around the Box and taking peeks in there.

Gally and Alby opened the Box and Gally jumped in, just like he did with Chuck. 'Day one Greenie. Rise and shine.' He pulled the Greenie up and roughly threw him on the grass. It wasn't a girl, again. Everything happened so fast that I couldn't see what his face looked like. Just the short dark hair and blue shirt.

The boys started shouting things when the Greenie crawled on his feet again. Suddenly he pushed some boys out of the way and started running.

'We got a Runner!' Zart shouted and others started doing too.

The boy was fast, I had to admit. But eventually, he fell over, making everyone laugh. Slowly he got up again and looked at the four stone, big walls surrounding him.

'I'll get him to the pit.' Alby started walking to the Greenie.

'Great start of a day.' Newt sighed and rubbed his chin. 'Why would he come up so early?'

'I don't know, but let's not worry about it too much. He's here now and we can't do anything about it.' I replied.

'Yeah.' Newt sighed. 'Let's get breakfast then.' He grabbed my hand and got us some food.

'Hell of a day.' Minho, who apparently didn't leave yet, said.

'I don't get why he's three weeks early.' Newt murmured. 'Something is changing.'

'I don't trust him.' Gally sat down.

'You haven't even met him.' I said. Gally couldn't just say that when he doesn't even know the guy.

'Come on, he's three weeks early. Don't you think that's a little suspicious?' Gally replied.

'I don't know. I'm gonna go see him.'

'You have to work in the med-hut first.' Minho grinned, knowing I hated my job.

'You don't have to remind me.' I snapped. 'And when are you gonna give me the training thing?'

'I'll see.' Minho got up. 'But I'm gonna go now. See ya.'

After a while, I finished eating too. 'Bye.' I got up from my seat and walked over to the pits, curious about the Greenie.

'Hey,' I bend down and looked through the bamboo sticks. After getting closer to the Greenie, I saw his face and recognized him immediately. It was Thomas, from my memories. 'Thomas?' I asked.

'How do you know my name? Do I know you?' He asked confused.

'So you don't remember me?' You could hear the sadness in my voice.

'No. Am I supposed to?' Thomas asked.

'I don't think so.' I sighed. 'I'm not allowed to get you out of there, so guess you gotta wait for Alby.' I laughed nervously. 

'What is this place?' Thomas asked. 'Why can't I remember anything?'

I didn't feel like explaining everything again. 'Alby will be here in a minute, so just wait here. Not that you can go anywhere else.' I let out a small chuckle. 'Anyways, I need to go. Got some work to do. I'll see you later.' I got up and walked over to the med-hut, to start another boring day.

'Morning.' Clint and Jeff were already in the hut. 

'Hey.' I sat down on a chair and waited for someone to get in. Just like every day, it was boring. I looked through the small window of the hut and saw Newt, Alby, and Thomas talking to each other. I smiled and watched Newt walk away again. Thomas and Alby climbed up the wooden tower and eventually, I couldn't see them anymore. 

Finally someone walked into the hut with a cut on his finger, but Jeff treated him, so I still couldn't do anything. After a long, boring morning it was finally time for lunch. I quickly got up and got some food before sitting down next to Newt.

'The Greenie is...' Newt started. He seemed to think about what he was gonna say. 'A typical Greenie. Thousands of questions.' Newt sighed. 'And he is very interested about Runners.'

'Maybe Minho can give me and the Greenie a training at the same time.'

Newt glanced at me.

'What? I want a training.' 

'Why? It's..'

'Dangerous, yes. You told me that plenty of times.' I interrupted, a little annoyed. 

I noticed Chuck and Thomas walking over to us, laughing. They seemed to be good friends already. 

'Hey, Nora, Newt.' Chuck sat down and hesitantly Thomas followed.

'Chuck, made a new friend?' I laughed. 

'Yes.' Chuck replied proudly. 

'What's out there?' Thomas looked at the maze Doors.

Newt didn't say anything. 'The maze.' I replied before Newt gave me another glance. '

'Maze?' Thomas repeated.

'Yes, maze.' I said.

'No one is allowed to go in there.' Newt murmured. 

'Only the Runners.' I added before Newt gave me another glance.

'Enough about the Runners.' Newt raised his voice a little. 

'Okay then.' I sighed. 'Will there be a bonfire?'

'Thomas didn't show up at the best time so everything is a little chaotic, but yes I think so.' Newt replied.

'Great!' I smiled, but then thought about what happened at the last bonfire. 'Don't give me too many drinks, though.' 

'Uh, yeah.' Newt let out a small cough and rubbed the back of his neck. I didn't even have a clear memory of that night, but I guessed it wasn't the best.

~

After a long day, it was finally time for the bonfire, something I liked. I grabbed a jar filled with Gally's drink and sat down next to Minho.

'When will you give me the Runner training?' I asked.

'I'll see.' 

'You said that last time.' I commented.

'Newt won't be okay with it.' Minho added.

'So?'

'Someone's getting sassy.' Minho looked at me.

'Look who says it.' I smiled. 'When will you give me the training?'

'I don't know, Nora.' Minho sighed. 'Someday.'

'Come on, Minho!' I said, annoyed.

'I'll think about it.'

'Thank you.' I said, but I was still not very satisfied. 

'So,' Minho started. 'You and Newt yesterday..' 

'Oh, shut up.' I hit the back of his neck.

'What if I didn't walk in?' Minho smirked.

'I would've known if you didn't walk in.' I rolled my eyes. 

Me and Minho continued talking for a while until Newt sat down next to us. 

'The Greenie is fightin' with Gally.' He sighed. 

'Oh, really?' Minho straightened his back. 'I wanna see.' He got up and walked over to the fighting ring.

'Do you want to see it too?' Newt asked. 

'No, thanks.' I answered. 'But if you want to you can go!' I quickly added.

'I'll be fine here.' Newt laughed.

'Okay.' I smiled.

I looked at the orange flames in front of us. They looked beautiful.

'Are you okay?' Newt asked. 

'Yeah, just a little tired.' I replied.

'Do you want to go to sleep?' Newt asked a little worried.

'No, I'll be fine.' I quickly answered. 

'I'll come with you.' Newt added.

'Okay then.' I agreed after his statement.
