"Just calm down, all right?" Newt had said calmly
"No, okay? Why won't you tell me what's out there?" Greenie shouted waving his hands around in pure frustration
"We're just trying to protect you. It's for your own good." This time it was Alby who talked
"You guys can't just keep me here." Greenie breathed
"I can't let you leave," Alby said
"Why not?" the boy hissed all of a sudden a loud creaking sound had come from behind me I spun myself around along with the other boys as a gush of wind blew my hair around my face.
"What the hell?" Greenie muttered under his breath, I turned to look at the maze that lets out a groan indicating the maze was closing for the night.
"Next time, I'm gonna let you leave." Gally hissed
"Welcome to the Glade." I whisper silent enough that I thought I was the only one that would be able to hear it, but Thomas's eyes reach mine, I smirk before I walk up to him and give him a small tap on the arm before I walk-off.
--------------------------------------------------------
"Light him up!" Alby screams as we all sit near the campfire I sit by myself watching the flames dance in front of me
"How are you going, Ash?" Newt says grabbing my hands and pulling me up from my spot I could already tell he was pissed.
"god, the alcohol in your mouth is making my eyes water Newt," I say with a laugh he holds my hands in his as he begins to make me turn spin him around and I laugh at his ridiculous spins.
"What are you doing?" I giggle he stops spinning and looks up at me.
"Have you been drinking?" he whispers moving closer, I can feel his breath dance across my face, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find Newt attractive he's been my friend since day one and was even the one who suggested to Alby that I'd make a good leader. My face turns serious due to his accusation.
"No, why?" I say seriously, he chuckles a little lifting up his finger to my lips and begins trying to push them into a smile
"I've never heard you giggle" he whispers I can feel his fingers dancing across my face. This is wrong. We shouldn't be doing this, but even as I fight myself in my mind I arch my back towards him so I can feel more of his touch. It's wrong because we are the leaders. We shouldn't be mucking around even if I did feel something towards him no one would approve especially not Alby. All of a sudden; a voice clears that makes Newt take a step back as I look towards the noise I turn to see Greenie staring awkwardly at me.
"Ashely, right?" he asks I give him a small nod
"Can I-Can I talk to you?" he whispers staring down at the floor I look back up at Newt who still has a sparkle in his eye, he smirks, before handing me a bottle of moonshine
"Have fun with greenie" he whispers in my ear before brushing past me touching me more then he needed too to get passed me. I look back up at Thomas and gestured for him to sit down, Greenie does so without complaint
"Hell of a first day, Greenie," I say staring at him while he sits quietly looking at the wall I smile
"Here. Put some hair on your chest." I say handing him the bottle of moonshine, he takes it out of my hand and takes a big gulp
"oh; Oh, my God! What is that?" He says choking on the liquid; I can't help but let out a laugh
"I don't even know. It's Gally's recipe. It's a secret." I laugh out loud
