Greenie Girl (ThomasxReaderxNewt)

DAY 8 - PART 1

When I woke up, Thomas's hand was still laced with mine. He was awake. Minho's watch was beeping, and most definitely not for the first time.

Thomas was laid on his stomach, facing me, with his other hand under his pillow. He had his chin rested on the pillow, and he looked like he was deep in thought.

I flipped onto my stomach, and he noticed I was awake. "Hey," he said, his head moving with his jaw. "Hey," I replied, and he let go of my hand.

"You get to go out into the maze today" he said flatly, clearly concerned for me.

"Thomas, can you please be a little more encouraging?" I teased, rolling my eyes.

"Sorry shank, but until you prove yourself, me and your boyfriend are gonna be worried" Minho interrupted.

I felt a blush creep into my face, and I could see one on Thomas' face too.

"Now let's fuel up and get greenie girl ready"

We made our way to the homestead. There's was a closet type thing under the stairs. When Minho opened it, I saw that this was where they kept all the runners' supplies- shoes, watched, those little backpacks.

"What size shoe do you wear?" Minho asked, somewhat impatiently.

"Hmm... let me see Minho. I don't remember by last name or how old I am, but of course I'd remember my shoe size" I said, already irritated with him for the day.

"Whatever. Try these." He passed me a pair of black running shoes.

I tried them on and they fit pretty good considering there had only been boys here for forever.

He also gave me a strappy backpack, one more canteen, and a watch.

I strapped everything on and braided my hair back.

Newt and Thomas came back through the kitchen door, and stopped dead when they saw me.

Minho rolled his eyes, and I was fighting between embarrassment and arrogance.

"I guess you do look pretty good, for a greenie shank," Minho teased.

I grimaced at him. Luckily, the other two had... recovered.

"You ready?" Newt asked. I couldn't tell if he was asking everyone or just me. I nodded.

"Let's go" Thomas said leading the way out the door.

Until Gally stopped us outside the Homestead.

"You're seriously letting her go into the maze? She's probably the reason why the Box stopped coming up. She's probably the reason why we're all here." He said with such venom I flinched.

I'd thought the same things at times. But, how could I be responsible for things I don't even remember doing?

"Cut it out Gally. We don't know that." Ably said as he walked up.

Gally just look exasperated and stormed away, not without giving me one last, creepy look.

"Let's go" Thomas reiterated.

They all started jogging towards the maze, so I joined in. When we got close to the entrance, I noticed Alby was staying back.

"You're not coming?" I asked

"Nah, someone is gonna have to deal with the chaos today. You guys stay safe out there."

"We will. We're only going to show Newt and (Y/N). Gotta save some energy for nights in the maze." Minho reassured him.
