The Maze Runner || Gally's Fanfiction

Blending in

"There's no room" Aggie sweat-dropped as she witness the series of hammock tangled side to side

Hands crossing each other on his chest, Newt leans on the bamboo pillar facing Aggie's back who's standing in disbelief of her own sight.

"What about bath and toilet?" Aggie asked. A little bit panicked she must admit.

"There's a river by the wood" Newt answered casually.

'What in the bloody hammock?!'

Aggie turns around to face him, "That's all?"

"Uh huh" Newt casually hummed.

"Is there any room with-... uh 4 walls and roof- or something- anything private?!"

Newt laughs, "You do realized you sound like a spoiled brat, right?"

Newt keep laughing, before suddenly all expression dropped and his stare turns into glare at Aggie.

"This is not a hotel. Stop complaining and start working. We don't need a free-spoiled loader here. End of tour." Newt uttered then walked away.

"Wait!" Aggie unintentionally shouted.

"What if they send a girl next time?" Aggie still insisted.

Newt silently chuckles before turns his head to look at her, "We'll figure that out- Next Time." He sarcastically answered then continue his leave, unaware of how uneasy Aggie looks right now.

A week passed by.

"You place him with Gally?" Alby asked Newt as they both watching over the boys from the post.

The telescope lenses shows Aggie who's tailing Gally everywhere the man goes as the keeper keeps handing her more and more materials to collect and give to the other builders.

Newt hands Alby the telescope for him to check them by himself.

"Just making our men equal. They've been out of men lately, since we transferred some to other groups. Besides, we could use a small guy for a certain works."

Alby frowns and backs his face away from the telescope to look at Newt's face trying to predict the reason behind that utterance.

"Like what?"

Newt smiles at his question.

"Hey greenie! Quick over here!" Gally shouted at Aggie who whether or not she wants to do it, she have to rushes over every time her keeper called her.

"What?" Aggie curtly asked.

"Take off your shoes and try to crawl down there" Gally signaled her to enter the underground tunnel

"I'm not going down there!" Aggie screamed up facing Gally

"What? Why?" Gally asked innocently

"Because they're-- there's dirt everywhere and not to mention the smell!"

Aggie knows exactly she couldn't possibly get a chance of a regular bath at least two weeks before she learned about the bathing area, or else she would risk getting her gender leaked. Beside, her experiences of taking bath for the past 7 days here are just-- tiring!

"Don't be a crybaby. Just go, quick" Gally grabbed her clothes by her shoulder and pushed her to quickly get in

"Noo!!" Aggie insisted taking a risk on provoking Gally

The grab on her shoulder's cloth turns to a grip on her collar. Her feet barely touch the ground as Gally did pull her up to his face.

"Listen greenie. I'm your keeper here. I can decide whether you go down that tunnel or spend the rest of your night there. So get a move on before I changed my mind." Gally pushed her to the entrance.
