You Make My Heart Run In Circles (Thomas x Minho, Newt x Gally)

Chapter 8: A... Girl?

NEWT'S POV

I wake up in Gally's arms to the blaring sound of the box alarm. It only went off when someone new was coming to the Glade.

"What's going on?" I ask him.

"Sounds like we got another Greenie," he says.

"But the month isn't over yet. I gotta get over there," I tell him and I move his giant, muscular arm that was previously holding me.

"No! Stay!" he pleads.

"I can't, Alby's going through the Changing so I'm still in charge. I have to be there for these sorts of things," I tell him and I get up off the cot.

"One more kiss?" he asks.

"Alright," I say and I lean down giving him a kiss on the lips.

"I have to go, I'll be back though," I promise him once the kiss is broken.

"Love you!" Gally calls as I leave the room.

"Love you too!" I call back and head over to the box.

THOMAS'S POV

Minho and I had just finished our lunch break when we heard an alarm go off.

"What is that?" I asked, scared that that alarm signaled something bad.

"That alarm goes off when we get a new Greenie but we only get one once a month," Minho looks both confused and concerned. I may not have been keeping track of how long I've been here but I do know that it hasn't been a month.

"Should we go back?" I ask. I know he didn't come when I arrived but that was a regular occurrence, this sounds like it isn't.

"I think we should," Minho tells me and we grab our stuff and run back to the maze opening.

NEWT'S POV

I walk as fast as I can (which isn't that fast, considering I have a limp) from the homestead to the box. The Gladers have all crowded around it. When they see me, they spread out and clear a path for me.

I make my way to a spot directly in front of the box opening, it's still coming up.

"What the shuck do you think is happening?" a voice asks and I look to my left to see that Minho and Thomas are standing next to me.

"I have no bloody idea, Minho, it must be a new Greenie but it hasn't been a month yet," I say worriedly, turn my eyes back to the box opening.

I look down and I can see the top of it coming up.

The box reached its destination and we see just what is inside.

Only Minho, Thomas, and I are close enough to see.

Minho and Thomas stay deadly silent, Thomas clings to his arm, both of them in shock.

"It's..." I start, still unable to believe what I see.

"What is it?! Spit it out already!" Gladers call out.

"A... girl?"

THOMAS'S POV

"A... girl?" Newt says, almost like a question, but I immediately know, it's a girl.

The first girl.

"What is he shucking talking about?"

"A girl?!"

"She hot?"

"Well this place just got a whole lot more entertaining!"

"I don't believe it, lemme see her!"

There are mixed reactions to this new arrival. She looks oddly familiar, it's unsettling, especially given the circumstances we're in.

I notice, her eyes are closed and she's laying down. Is she dead? Knocked out?

Suddenly, almost like she read my mind, her eyes snap open. She raises her hand, which is curled in a fist, holding something.

"Thomas," she gasps and falls unconscious again.

A/N
I'm so sorry! It's been so long since I updated and this chapter is so short! I'm just getting over some writer's block on this story though and I just wanted to get a chapter out. Also, I was focusing on getting the first three episodes/chapters of my new Episode story, Blade And Fangs, you should check it out, it's an LGBT+ Fantasy Story. Thanks for reading!
