The Next Moring

"You know what?" You said, frustration lacing your voice as you stared down at the latest map Minho drew out. "Shuck it." You sat back in your chair. "Shuck this-" you pointed at the map, "Shuck that-" you pointed out the door, meaning the Maze, "Shuck you-" you pointed at Thomas, who was currently sitting in front of you, "And shuck the idiot who put us in here," you let your head fall back.

"What did I do?" Thomas asked, looking somewhat offended. Minho, Newt, and Alby giggled in the background.

"You were just there and I needed something else to say 'shuck' to," You picked your head up again and playfully gasped and said "Shuck you guys, too,"

"Hey!" Minho exclaimed peering at the paper over your shoulder. It was littered in little notes you remembered hearing her and other WCKD officials discuss. "So we are getting nowhere,"

"And that's a bad thing because we only have. . . what three days before this place explodes?"

"We've got to have something," Newt argued leaning on the back of your chair.

"Well, we could keep hacking at that thing Minho found," Thomas offers.

Alby doesn't look impressed when he answers, "But that one could be a fake. We need to find more,"

"But we don't have the time, Alby! If we had maybe a week or two we could, but we have three days to hack a wide enough hole in a wall that we could fit threw without being killed by Cranks and/or Grievers. We just cant," You argued.

Alby seemed about ready to throw the nearest thing across the room. "You've got guts, girl. I'll give you that,"

"Why, thank you. But that's no-"

The door to the Homestead swung open to reveal Chuck and Gally. Both panting and looking terrified but delighted. Which was worse? You didn't know.

"We found something," Chuck stated, his eyes shining like the new diamond ring she would wear every time she met a new possible employee. Which was pretty rare, as you know.

All of you shared a look. What the hell could it be? A new glowing crack in the wall? A dead Griever? Maybe even a Crank? You didn't waste anytime pondering that. You were up and jogging along side Alby and Chuck.

"Chuck, what exactly did you find?" You asked, hesitant to actually see it. Gally took a turn at the Med-Jack hut and the rest of the group followed behind him.

Chuck gave a warm smile, and replied "You'll see,"

"That's not what I asked,"

"That's why I said it,"

"Oh - ho ho, you little klunk bag,"

Gally slowly came to a stop at one of the walls. He gave all of you a look, asking if you were ready. When you all nodded in response, he pulled back a large group of vines, revealing a door nob.

"What the. . ." Thomas said, moving closer to it.

"Why is there a bloody door nob in the middle of a wall?" Newt asked. "It has no purpose,"

"We didn't actually try anything yet so we don't know if it does have a purpose," Gally stated. "We wanted to wait for you guys,"

You stepped forwards, ready to turn it. "Okay then lets get this over with-"

"Not you," Newt said pushing your hand away from it. "No,"

"What? Why not?" You asked.

"Let Alby do it,"

You huffed, giving in. You only gave in so quickly since Alby was originally the leader of this whole thing. He would want to be given that honor at least one more time. You stepped out of the way and let Alby pass you. He approached the door nob slowly and carefully turned it. A part of the wall opened with the door nob as Alby pushed on it. There was a hallway, lit with blue lights along the top corners of the walls. The hallway seemed to pass threw the walls of the Maze. You couldn't see where it lead, and you were about to step forward when you heard grunting coming from the hallway. The sound of feet tapping and murmuring followed.

You immediately recognized the voice when it was a bit clearer and you instantly turned around and started walking the other way. Yes, it was a girl. Yes, you wanted to kill yourself. And yes, it was Gabi. Shucking Gabi.

Why me? What did I ever do  - ever - to deserve this? Yeah I punched her a couple times but really? Why? You thought.

You punched who? Thomas asked back. Damn that telepathy link.

Who punched who? You heard Teresa ask.

You groaned. Turning back around to be met with an all to familiar pair of black eyes and long black hair.

"Why? Why?" You asked no one in particular, throwing your hands up. "Why me? Why her? Why now? Why-" You were cut off by your head violently swinging to the left, a sting left on your right cheek. You looked up meeting those same cold, soulless eyes. You stared into them.

"Hello, traitor," Gabi said, letting her hand fall to her side. That would probably be the biggest mistake of her life. You grabbed her hand and twisted it so her body twisted with it, her back facing you. You pulled her arm up and rested her hand between her shoulder blades.

"Call me that again," You threatened. "One more time,"

"Hey!" Alby shouted at both of you.

"Traitor," Gabi whispered. You both knew you wouldn't do it with the boys watching. You hesitantly dropped her arms and backed away. She only turned and smiled evilly at you, she didn't make a move to hurt you or anything. You scowled and walked away, wanting to get as far away from that bitch as you could.

_*_*_*_*_

River had, at some point, found her way to your side at dinner. She knew about your problems with Gabi and made a pact with you to stay away from her. Newt was on your other side. Minho, Thomas and Chuck took up other spots around you.

"What was that whole scene earlier?" Gally asked, finding a space somewhere in your little friend circle and sitting in it. You knew it was on everybody's mind.

"That freeloader, asshole needs to die and I wouldn't kill her in front of you guys," You stated flatly.

"Well I wasn't expecting a blunt answer like that," Minho said.

You looked at them, each of them. Making sure they knew your feelings towards Gabi.

"Why?" Thomas asked, "She looks-"

"Do not finish that sentence, you will regret it bigtime later on," You warned. "Plus, she Teresa's best friend. And we all know Teresa,"

They only nodded in agreement.

Newt's POV

I didn't trust Gabi, anyway. Everybody knew about Gabi. Biggest crush on Tommy, best friends with Teresa, from the rich McGoldly family. No one liked her except her parents and Teresa. I didn't expect her to be sent here though. It all clicked when (Y/N) said she was a friend of Teresa. She is just a terrible person, terrible personality, terrible habit of using people for things. If any guy liked Gabi, it wasn't her at all; it was her money. She was filthy rich. Her family supplied water to the WCKD facilities. She could have anything she wants. Except - maybe - people dead. But there was no need to ask for that, people were dying left and right; or being turned to Cranks; which seemed like the worst option. Believe me. I would know.

Plus, she seemed to be (Y/N)'s mortal enemy so. . . Anyway back to my original point. I never liked her anyway. Bloody rich people.
