your POV
I'm heading to the council hall, dressed in the new clothes that WCKD send up yesterday. I arrived in the glade one week ago and ofcourse they only had boy clothes. I walked around in the most baggy shirts , tripping over my pants ever once in a while. When they send up new clothes I was relieved at first, but I soon realized that the shirts fit a little too well. Baggy shirts it is! At least I can walk around without faceplanting infront of everyone.
The council hall is getting closer and I'm getting more and more nervous. Images of how it looks like on the inside are flooting around in my head. I have never been inside before, a lot of the gladers have never been inside, the only ones allowed are the keepers. But why would they need me? Did I do something wrong? I already have a job, so it can't be that. My breath starts to shake and my heart starts racing. 'Breath, Y/N, breath' I say to myself. Standing before the makeshift wooden door, I take in one last deep breath before I push it open, all eyes suddenly directed at me.
"Y/N, glad you could join us. Sit down please." Alby says, pointing to an unsteady chair in the middle of the hut.
I sit down hesitantly, still feeling everyone staring at me. I ignore their glares and look around the room, searching for a specific pair of eyes. When I find them I feel a weight drop of my shoulders. Newt gives me a reassuring smile before looking away and shifting his attention back to Alby, wo has already started his opening speech.
"As we all know the creators send up our first girl. This was a suprise for all of us, but I think we can all agree that we need to make some rules. She is one of us now and we need to protect her. First of all I want no touching... At all! No hugs, not even a shoulder pat. Are we clear?"
Everyone hums in agreement. I furrow my eyebrows. What's wrong with a hug? I need hugs too. I decide to shake the thought while Alby continues.
"Next one, I want no one talking to her unless it is work related. I made this rule bacuse I know you shanks can't keep your mouth shut and stupid comments will come out of you. Are we clear again?"
Another few hums came from the gladers in the council hall. All of them are trying not to make eyecontact with me. Well it's going to be lonely in here. I feel frustration building up inside of me. They can't just make rules about me. I'm not a human they can own. Right?
"Last one, I want no relationships. You're just going to be distracted and I really don't need more drama in here. I want everyone to follow these rules, if not you get one week in the pit."
Why did I even have to be here? They're talking about me like I'm not even here. I have a right on my own oppinion. I know I'm a girl and everyone is kinda scared of me, but we're all in the same situation. I look back at Newt, who is already staring at me. He shakes his head like he knows what I'm about to do. I ignore him and stand up quickly, making the 'chair' fall on the ground. Everyone looks at me. Their eyes now wide in shock.
"Are you done?" I ask Alby a little to harsh.
He doesn't say anyting, so I decide to continue.
"You shanks are unbelievable. Making Chuck get me from across the glade to just make me sit inside here listening to Alby making rules about me like I'm not even here. Don't you have any manners? Yes, I'm a girl. So what? There for I have less value? Answer me!"
A few nos can be heard from muttering gladers, everyone still in shock from my sudden outburst.
"Now let's go over the rules." I say while walking around the hut.
"First one, the touching. We're all stuck in a huge maze so I guess we all have bad days and as Alby said I'm one of you now. I want you guys to be able to come up to me and talk about your worries and stuff. Look, everyone needs a hug. Even me. So hugs are allowed. As long as they are proper. Got it?"
The gladers faces start to light up. Hope coming back into their eyes.
"Second, talking. Sorry to say it Alby, but that one is just stupid." A few boys start to chuckle. "Everyone can talk to me. Please talk as much as you want. I don't want to sit around all day with no one to talk to. I'm a shucking human being too. And about those comments. I can take them, I'm a lot tougher than I look you know? And then the last one, relationships. Just face it, none of you shanks love me and never will. You guys miss the comfort of a girl. I totally get it. And to be honest I'm not that loveable. So no relationships. Was that everything?" I ask looking at Alby.
He nods slowly. Oops, I think he's pissed.
"Alright then, bye shanks. See you."
I walk out of the coucil hall.Letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. Well that went great. I'll probably get put in the pit for a few nights, but it was worth it. At least everyone knows where I stand. I make my way back to the med-hut when I hear a voice calling me.
"Y/N! Y/N! Wait, please!"
I turn around to see a blonde boy limping over to me, still calling me name in that beautiful British accent.
"You alright?" He asks once he got close enough.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Glad that I got that out of my system." I chuckle.
Newt laughs too.
"You took us by suprise Alby hasn't said a word since you left."
I just laugh, being scared by how Alby will react later.
"Is it true?" Newt suddenly asked
"Is what true?"
"That you think no one loves you and that you're unloveable?"
"Yeah, I mean it's the truth."
"No, it's not" the words quickly leave his mouth, I almost didn't hear him.
"What are you on about?"
"You're not unloveable"
"How would you know?"
"Because I love you"
I gasp. Did he just? I can't believe this. My body becomes overwhelmed with happiness.
"Newt, you've only known me for a week"
"Exactly, that's what I find so beautiful. I have all these feelings for you, it feels like I have known you for years"
"Newt..."
"I get it, you don't feel the same. I just wanted to let you know"
"No Newt..."
"Really, Y/N. It's fine"
"Can you just shut up!" I yell before pressing my lips softly on his.
They move insync, making my body relax and melt even more into this kiss. His hands move from my cheeks up to my hair, caressing it slowly.
"Wait, Y/N" Newt pulls away, trying to catch his breath. "What about the rules?"
"Shuck the rules" I whisper before connecting our lips once again.
