enemies to lovers (y/n and newt) book one.

chapter eighteen: rules

"Rules? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Alby gave Newt a fed up look, "Rules, just rules. What else do you think I mean shank? Shut up and listen, all of you. Questions and suggestions at the end alright?" Everyone gave a firm nod while Newt just looked agitated, he just wanted to get back to Y/n. "So, this Glade isn't going to run very well unless we have order. And unless we have eachother, so I've decided that if there's any arguments between gladers, each one of 'em will get a night in the pit." Gally interrupted him, "But-" "No buts. Right I am open to suggestions, don't all speak at once." Gally rolled his eyes and said, "Well, I think a main rule should be never to go into the maze unless you're a Runner or Second in Command or what not." whilst looking at Newt. "Yes, I suppose that's quite a fair idea." Alby told them.

Gally looked proud of himself as he looked around at the other silent Gladers. Then Newt spoke up, "No one touches Y/n without her permission. I don't want random shanks just coming and disrespecting her." He said looking at Gally which made his face turn to anger. Newt smirked slighly, knowing he had hit a nerve. Now that Gally didn't like Y/n, Newt didn't like Gally. "Perfect idea, Newt." Alby said with a smile, "She deserves privacy. When she wakes up we can let her know that." The words 'when she wakes up' hurt Newt, knowing that Y/n was probably stuck in a void of her own mind, battling against herself. He knew he should be there with her.

Minho finally talked, "No harm should come to any other Glader. You can't hurt any of 'em on purpose. Because there's obviously some.. tension, going on here." he said, looking at Gally and Newt. "Anything else?" Alby said. "Everyone does their part. Well they do their job, whether they like it or not." "Well that does it. Those are the four rules."

Newt looked at Alby, "Does that mean I can go back to Y/n now?" "Calm yourself down Newt, we aren't done yet." Alby told him. Newt sulked back into his chair and listened to him. "Also, I think we have to create an area to grow crops. This week we were sent up some seeds, I presume they can grow food. This means someone needs to look after these plants, water 'em excetra. Anyone up for the job?" Alby said enthusiastically, he looked up to see all of the gladers with huge sulks on their faces. None of them really looked like they were to show any interest in plants. He sighed and said, "Sorry Newt, but you're Second in Command. You do a mixture of all jobs, Y/n too. You can look after the Gardens till she wakes up." Newt gave a slightly angry look to Alby but just nodded. He could see Gally laughing in the corner of his eye, but he tried to ignore him. "Alright, that's it for today. Time for bed."

Newt immediately stood up and walked towards the door, "Newt." Alby said to him, he turned around, "Bed. Not the Med-Hut." Newt looked at Alby frustrated and said, "Someone needs to bloody stay with her, who knows when she'll wake up?" At this point everyone else was already standing, "Newt, suck it up." Gally said to him, Newt couldn't take it anymore and so he just turned around and looked Gally in the eyes and gave him a clean punch around the face. Gally fell to the ground, blood dripping out of his nose, "WHAT THE HELL NEWT!" he shouted. Minho pushed Newt away from Gally as Alby walked up to him, "Out. Out!" he shoved Newt outside and Minho followed. "What the hell was that man! You're gonna get sent to the shuckin' pit!" Newt laughed, "God Minho, I don't even care about that, he bloody well deserved it." Clint walked out holding a tissue to Gally's nose and made his way to the Med-Hut, Alby soon followed them out the door. "Newt, I don't wanna do this but you're gonna need a night in the pit. What the hell did I just tell you?" Newt said nothing, turned and made his way towards the pit.
