"In a Glade full of brothers, You're the girl, the shaper, the person who loves and laughs in times of dark. You may feel you're alone...but really you have everyone in the glade."14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvP0YMPP1o
(Start)
The first time I stepped into the Glade, I knew I didn’t belong. Not because of the maze—that’s easy—but because I was the only girl. A runner girl. A Glader in a world that wasn’t built for me. But I wasn’t alone. Not really. Minho was the first to notice me. The first to see that I wasn’t just another greenie to boss around. He called me “sis” before I even realized I wanted that—someone who’d watch my back, someone who’d let me watch theirs. And he did. Every step I took, every mile I ran through that endless, deadly maze, Minho was there. Like a brother who never left.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtopGvzbiCU
Chuck… well, Chuck was my little brother. I didn’t choose it, it just happened. He clung to me like glue, and I let him. I’d crouch in the shadow of the maze walls just to pull him close when the Grievers roamed too close, whispering, “It’s okay, little man. I’ve got you.”14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJe2lzKogS
The rest of the Gladers? My family. Each one, in their own way, became my anchor in this upside-down world. Frypan always had a joke or a sandwich ready, and somehow, I knew I could trust him with anything. Even when the world outside the Glade tried to chew us up and spit us out, Frypan’s laugh reminded me we weren’t alone.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf6XiJR1P4
And Newt… Newt was different. He was soft where Minho was sharp. Steady where Frypan was wild. He saw me—really saw me—and it was terrifying and comforting all at once. I hated that I was falling for him, hated that in a place built on survival, my heart wanted more than just safety.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOYSoBgmzW
“You’re running again, aren’t you?” Newt’s voice came from behind me one evening, as I tightened my shoes and tested the straps of my pack.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplKuiiSBcG
“You know I can’t stop,” I said with a grin, brushing my messy hair from my face. “I’m a runner. It’s what I do.”14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwqAr6KDuj
Newt always had a big heart but he could be very deadly scary when he had to be. I mean he is the second in command. Alby made him that the first year they were there together.
He shook his head, but his lips tugged into that small, careful smile I’d memorized. “Just… be careful, okay? We can’t lose you.”14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWDpFhwHe
I wanted to tell him I’d never let that happen. That no Griever, no maze, no WCKD experiment could take me from him. But words felt small in the shadow of the walls. Instead, I just nodded. I hated talking when I knew I could go out there and get stuck out in the maze overnight. Newt and the others always said no one made it a full night in the maze and was still alive after it. I mean if you really think about it. It's terrifying. 14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxj1lyMmtW
The sun beating down when Chuck came running up, out of breath. “You gonna tell me a story tonight?” he asked, his eyes wide.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACd7TRY1R
I look down at him and say "Always Chucky, I will always tell you your story." I smile softly at him.
And in the shadows, Newt watched. Minho watched. Frypan watched. All of them, silently rooting for me. My heart thumped for the danger outside, but also for the people inside. My people. My family.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fy5v3h0mZ
