You were one of the only girl Gladers in the Maze. You arrived in the Box, and everyone was surprised to see a girl. Minho included. At first, you didn’t talk much to him—he just seemed very cool and a bit scary—but over time, you became more comfortable around him. He had a way of making you feel like you could trust him, even if he was intimidating at first.

One morning, Alby got sick. You knew there was a plant in the Maze—not too far inside—that could help him heal faster. When you asked for permission to go get it, the rules were clear: only Runners could enter. But you knew that if you didn’t do something, Alby might not recover as quickly—and the Gladers needed him as their leader. Besides, this was your chance to finally do something useful for once. So, when no one was looking, you slipped into the Maze.

You found the plant, but while trying to get back, you slipped and hurt yourself. It made it much harder to get out. Your heart was pounding as you limped through the Maze, hoping no one would notice…

Then, as you rounded a corner, you heard him. “What the hell are you doing here?!”

Minho had spotted you as he was coming back from his run. His eyes widened as he took in the scratches on your arms and the dirt on your clothes. You explained everything to him—how you had gone for the plant to help Alby, how you had slipped, and why you hadn’t waited for permission.

He shook his head, a mix of disbelief and concern on his face, and muttered with that familiar edge: “Yeah… Gally is not going to like this.”

Then he stepped closer and hooked an arm around your waist for support. “Come on, let’s get you back,” he said, steadying you as you began to walk.
