Out Of Order (TMR Fanfic)

Chapter Twenty-seven

Newt pov:

Ever since the Greenie had arrived, Eve has been acting strange. I ask her what's wrong but she says nothing. I can tell that she is hiding something from me. Something important.

When the Greenie first arrived in the box, she acted weird and kept mumbling things to herself quietly. It was like she was afraid of him or something.

Did she know him before the maze? Could she remember? What is she not telling me? I wanted to know what she was thinking. How she knew about the fire last night, and how she knows that something or someone was coming. Maybe that someone she was talking about was the new Greenie. She had been avoiding him all day and me quite frankly. I was starting to get sick of it to be honest.

I want to give her space but I also want to know what's going on inside her head, what's going on with her and the new greenie, and why she is acting so strange.

Eve pov:

I've been in the medjack's hut all day. I was trying to avoid the new greenie. I don't know why but he just really freaks me out. And if my dream-memory did infact happen, then the greenie was a murder. If that wasn't a reason to be scared of someone than I don't know what is.

What's wrong with Eve today? She's acting strange.

I thought it was the voice, back again. But no. This voice was different. It belonged to Jeff, who was only feet away from me in the hut, organizing the new supplies that came up with the greenie.

How could I hear his thoughts? Was I going crazy? Am I a telepath? Could I somehow read minds?

Maybe he just said it aloud and I didn't notice his lips move. That had to be the case.

"Did you say something?" I ask, hoping he did and that this was all just in my head. Well, not in my head, but you know, hoping I was just overthinking everything.

"No," Jeff said, puzzle. I nod and continue with my work, terrified that my realization was true.

I went to grab dinner and sat at our picnic table. This time, Gally was there, waiting for me.

I sit down, hesitantly and stare at him, confused.

He looked up at me before saying, "finally, thought you'd never show up."

I look at him, still confused. "Yeah, sorry. Did you need something?" I ask awkwardly.

"No, I just...uhh," he paused lowering his voice, "wanted to know if you were okay. Some of the other gladers and I have noticed a change in you today. Something wrong?"

"No, just a weird day for me I guess. I don't really know why," I lie. He nods and stands up.

Why is she lying to me? Clearly something is wrong.

"Well if you need anything, you know where to find me," Gally says, walking away.

Now this, this is weird. I can hear Gally's thoughts now too. It's like being in the presence of the new greenie brought something out of me. Something I couldn't control.

Could I hear everyone's thoughts or just some? What's wrong with me? Why am I different? Is this a good thing?

My head was filled with so many questions. I needed to get them out. I needed answers. I was desperate. The only person I thought might have somewhat of a chance to actually answer them was the one person I did not want to talk to. The greenie.

Ren sat down across from me at my picnic table, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Hey, everything okay, Evee?" Ren said, dragging out the "e" at the end. I laughed at this.
