Chapter 2: Career Day & Bold Decisions

3rd Person POV:

"Y/N, you are so special... if only you would co-operate... remember that no matter what happens; no matter what we've done... WICKED is good..."  The soft voice spoke, caressing the young girl's cheek as her screams echoed through the room, her cheeks flushed red from crying. "WICKED is good..." 

"Greenie!" a voice shook Y/N from her horrid dream. The girl jumped up from the bed, panting and sweat glistening on her forehead. She squirmed, trying to escape from the person's grip.  "Hey, you're okay; you're safe! It's me, Newt!" the smooth voice called out to her, helping her soothe her breathing. 

"N-Newt..." she sighed, placing her head on his chest from exhaustion. Newt sighed, running his hands over her arm softly, resting his cheek on her head out of comfort. "Yeah, it's me. You were having a nightmare, love. You wouldn't stop screaming; I was so worried when I woke up and saw you crying." He admitted, continuing to comfort the girl.

 Y/N sighed deeply, looking up at the Blonde beauty. "I'm sorry for... scaring you. I don't even know what my nightmare was about. All I remember was someone saying that' WICKED was good' and that 'I was special'. It was awful" she admitted, burying her head in Newt's chest, seeking comfort.  

Newt placed a tentative kiss on the girls head, silently telling her that he was there for her. Y/N smiled, slowly peeling herself from his grasp, placing her hand in his. "Thank you. I-I don't even know what happened, it was so... it felt so real. Like it had actually happened." 

She shuddered, smiling when Newt tightened his grip on her hand. "Well, It's okay now because even if it did happen before; they can't hurt you ever again. I can promise you that." He smiled, puffing his chest out, causing the girl to giggle softly. Newt smiled at this, admiring the stunning smile that was plastered on the girls face.

After the little incident, Y//N decided to go and freshen up, getting herself ready for the day ahead of her. Once both she and Newt were dressed, she decided to ask him something that had been ugging her all night.

 "Hey, Newt? can I ask you something?" she asked as she brushed her hair, smiling when he hummed in response. "How do I pick my job for the 'Glade' exactly?" she asked, watching as he smiled softly whilst tying up his boots.

 "Well for starters, you don't choose what job you get. You try out all the jobs we have and then the head of each job, who we call the 'Keepers', get to decide if they want you to be a part of their job or not. This get's decided at the gathering later on after the wall doors close." He explained letting all the information sink in. 

Y/N nodded, fixing her outfit before walking to the front door. "Oh! I almost forgot! Last night, right before I fell asleep, I remembered my name!" She cheered, watching as Newt's face erupted into a killer smile. "That's great! so, what is it? Unless you like it when we call you 'Greenie' and 'Greenbean'?" He teased, laughing when she playfully rolled her eyes in return.

Outfit:

"Well, I'll have you know that my name is actually Y/N, not 'Greenie' or 'Greenbean'." She giggled, smiling widely when Newt ran over to her, scooping her into a bone-crushing hug. "Well, Y/N, I have to say... I love your name." She smiled, closing her eyes in bliss and she laid her head on his chest, savouring the feeling of his arms wrapped around her. 

Y/N and Newt made their way into the 'Glade', seeing that only a select few people were awake. "Why isn't everyone up?" she asked, confused. Newt smiled, placing his arm around her as they walked towards the others who were all gathered at the walls.

 "It's because the 'Runners', who go Into the maze every day, go before everyone wakes up; usually just before sunrise. That way we have a few hours to run the maze and still make it back to the Glade before the doors close."

 He explained confidently. "Wait, you said 'we'. You're a Runner!? I didn't know that Alby was actually telling the truth! I thought he was kidding!" she gasped, worry and shock lacing her voice. Newt smiled at the girl, wrapping his arms around her, making sure that nobody could see them. 

"Don't worry, love. I'm always careful and we always have pairs when we run the maze. Minho and I are paired, whereas Ben and Nick are paired." He smiled, feeling his heart flutter at her worry for him. "Okay... But, please, be careful. I don't want any of you to get hurt. So just- do your job and come back in time for dinner," she sighed, biting her lip. Newt smiled, nodding as he kissed her cheek, walking the two of them over to the others. 

"Thre you are, Greenie! Looks like Newt over here woke you up just in time. Since I have to run the Maze today, Alby will help you with the jobs and then when I come back, hopefully, we can decide on your permanent job." Nick smiled at her. Y/N looked at Nick. He looked sweet and kind. He had a sharp jaw and stunning Blue eyes and Blonde hair. He gave off the Alpha sort of aura but still seemed like a nice guy. 

Nick (Nickolas):

Y/N smiled in response, making her way over to the others. "So, when do I try out to be a runner?" She asked, a smile on her innocent face. The boys all burst out into laughter, causing a frown to replace Y/N's smile. "Oh! You're serious!?" Minho gasped in shock, the others following in suit. "Well duh, you said I try out every job; I have to try out Runner too, right?" She asked.

 "No, Nick and Minho are the two who pick the Runners, but you can't try out," Ben explained. The girl scoffed, raising an accusing eyebrow before speaking more sternly. "And why the hell not" she snarled, watching as the others gulped nervously. "Love, it's not that we don't believe in you, it's just that... you're a girl and well... there's a lot of mental and physical strength needed to be a Runner; which is not something that everyone has. And that's okay!" He tried explaining kindly, but it only made the girl more pissed.

 "Excuse me!? So what, because I'm a girl I suddenly can't do things guys can. Who are you to assume I can't run or don't have upper body strength! Ugh! All of you are misogynistic, sexist pigs! Good luck on your run, because if those things out there don't kill you, I sure as hell will." Y/N growled out, turning on her heel before stopping off, her emotions raging inside her.

Once the boys had all gone for their run, Alby led her off to her first job, that being helping FryPan making breakfast for all the boys. She sighed, thanking Alby before making her way to the Mess Hall, tying her hair up before going over to help out FryPan. "hey Greenie- wow, what crawled up your ass and died?" He joked, noticing the scowl on her pretty face. "All the boys here us such Pigs! Except for you of course!" she explained, huffing as she chopped up the veggies and meat, cooking up a storm with the other cook. 

As they continued to cook and chat, the boys all filed in, making the line for breakfast. "Greenie-" "actually, it's Y/N" she quickly interrupted, causing him to smirk. "Okay, Y/N. Can you please do the serving whilst I cook?" He asked, smiling when she nodded in agreement. Y/N served the boys, each of them staring at her and thanking her grossly. It wasn't until one particular interaction that she erupted.

 "Here's your breakfast" she mumbled, heading the plate over without making eye contact. When he didn't reply, she looked up to see what had happened; only to catch him licking his lips and staring at her chest. 

"Alright, that's it! All you pigs are gonna listen up and listen up good! The next time any of you stare at me like I'm a fricken piece of meat, I will rip your balls off so quick you won't even get to think. I am not a toy to be played with; nor am I your bloody meal! I'm a human being, so for Christ sake, TREAT ME AS ONE!" She yelled, rage clear in her eyes and her face red from yelling. 

"Oh come one doll, don't act like you don't like it," One boy purred, his Forest Greens eyes staring lustfully at her. "Oh, now you've done it" FryPan murmured, watching as the pissed off girl kicked the boy in the shin, causing him to double over. She then proceeded to grab his hand and twist it behind his back, pulling harshly.

 He cried out in pain, causing the other boys to wince and watch the exchange. "If another disgusting word comes out of your mouth, I will rip off your tongue and shove it down your throat. Am I clear?" she asked, pulling hard on his arm until she agreed.

She sighed, standing up and walking over to the centre of the room before screaming. "This goes for all of you! I will not stand to be treated like this by a bunch of Pre-Pubescent looking boys who think they have power over me! I may be a 'small, feeble girl' in your minds, but just remember what you saw today, and remember that I can do much, much worse!" she threatened, huffing as she stormed back into the kitchen, finishing up the cooking.

After Breakfast was over, Alby made his way into the Kitchen to talk to Y/N about her behaviour. "Now, Y/N, you broke one of our very own rules. Never hurt another Glader. This is worthy of punishment." He started, watching as the girl just sighed in frustration; feeling the lack of justice.

 "However, he was a disgusting, horny boy making rude comments; so you put him in his place. So, therefore, I think everything is sorted out." He smirked, causing the girl to smile, thanking him  as they made their way to the next job, but not before Fry Pan congratulated the girl for 'scaring the ever-living crap out of them.'

Her next job was as a Builder. She walked over to Gally; the Keeper of the Builders, to get started. "Hey, Gally!" she cheered, happy to see one of the one boys who didn't try and flirt with her. Gally looked behind his shoulder to see the girl, a smile gracing his lips. 

"Hey, there Greenbean!" he laughed, surprised when the girl hugging him tightly. He hugged back, savouring the moment before they separated. "Actually, the name's Y/N! So, what job have you got for me today, Captain?" She teased, smiling at the blush that coated his cheeks. 

Gally gave her quite a few jobs, from sanding down pieces of wood to drilling in the foundations for some of the huts. Y/N liked the job; especially since none of the guys flirted with her, but instead treated her as an equal. 

"Hey, Y/N! Do you think you could help me out over here!" Benji, one of the builders, asked as he tried to haul what appeared to be cut pieces of a tree trunk. "Here, give it to me," she said, offering to carry it all. At first, Benji refused, afraid that she might hurt herself, but after the girl glared at him, he sighed and handed them over. "Be care-what the!?" He started but was soon shocked as the girl carried all the trunk pieces over to the others, not even breaking a sweat. 

Y/N proved in more than one way that she was more than capable of being just as strong and resourceful as any other guy there. She came up with ideas for a steadier foundation and how to prevent leaks from occurring during rainy days. 

She helped haul in materials and was even able to pull up the bottom foundation for a hut all on her own; surprising all of the men. "Well, Y/N, those are all the jobs I had for you today; and let me tell you, That was amazing! You're so resourceful and amazing at this!" Gally complimented, causing the girl to blush. 

She wished them all goodbye, making her way over to her next job, which happen to be in what they called the 'Blood House', which is where all the livestock was raised and then slaughter for materials and other important items. 

The place smelled like blood and rotting flesh; along with a hint of animal faeces. "Hey, I'm Winston. Today we'll be feeding the sheep and cows before slaughtering the pigs and chickens. So I'll feed the sheep and you can feed the cows; then I'll slaughter the chickens whilst you deal with pigs. Okay?" He explained, smiling when she nodded in understanding. 

After feeding the animals, she grabbed an Axe and got to work. She hated the idea of killing these poor animals, but they needed the resources;  so she got to work. She spent what felt like hours slaughtering and shopping those animals apart, but when she was finished; she felt oddly proud. She had managed to do something that not many guys could, and she didn't without a hitch. "Well I'll be damned, you did a great job!" Winston praised, smiling and thanking the girl for her help.

She continued to help everyone else out, trying out different jobs. But no matter what she did, she couldn't get the want and desire to be a runner out of her head. She knew it was dangerous and that it was a risky job; but she also knew that she is good enough and was so much potential, if only they would let her. She finished off all the other jobs.

 As soon as she had come out from the Med Hut, which was her last job of the day, the Runners were making their way back into the Maze. She looked over to see them all talking with other guys. "Assholes" she mumbled, walking over to talk to Gally and his friends as they made their way to the Assembly hall for the Gathering. 

"Alright, everyone! Settle down!" Nick ordered, waiting for everyone to take their seats. "Hey, Y/N! Sit here!" Newt offered the seat next to him. The girl just glared at him before huffing and walking to sit next to Gally and Benji. 

Newt felt his jaw drop and his eyes go wide. His shocked face soon turned into one of anger. He hated the fact that she chose to sit with someone else other than him,  but then again, he was a total ass to her earlier. So what if she wanted to be a Runner? 

Just because she was a woman doesn't make her any less capable. But it was the fear of her getting hurt or worse that ran in the back of his mind, causing him to be against her becoming a Runner; he cared too much to let her put herself in danger every day as he did. 

"Okay, now Y/N has tried out every job we have in the Glade; each Keeper watched and evaluated her abilities and performance within their jobs. Can the Keeper that would Like Y/N to work with them please stand up?" Nick ordered calmly. 

They expected a few to stand, but never did they imagine that everyone would stand up. Each Keeper stood up, shocking the whole room. 'Well, it looks like w have a pretty amazing Greenie!" Nick laughed in shock. "So Greenie, which job do you choose? It's up to you now" Nick spoke. Everyone stared at the girl in curiosity. Y/N sighed, breathing deeply before speaking. 

"I want to become a Runner..."

Hahaha! That's it for today! What will happen next? Will Y/N get to try out to be a Runner, or will a people object? Until next time~
