Note
Just so you know, the plot may be a bit different from the books, only because I'm mostly writing this from memory. I'll try my best! Enjoy, love you guys!
Teddy's POV
"Ugh," I say out loud, waking up from my deep sleep feeling groggy. I could barely open my ears at first, and my head was throbbing.
I put a hand on my forehead only to notice there is a bandage covering the spot above my left eyebrow. I don't ever remember coming back into the Glade from last night, I only remember tripping on my laces, scraping my head and knees, then becoming unconscious. Someone must have brought me into my room this morning.
I pull off my covers and force myself out of my cot. Almost immediately after I try and stand up my knees buckle and I nearly fall to the ground. Slowly I stand up, trying my best to ignore the brutal pain. I do my best to walk outside without limping, I don't want anyone to one worrying about me right now.
I see Chuck from across the Glade, and shout, "Chuck!!" While waving to himself.
He quickly looks over at me and drops the bucket of chicken feed he is carrying to run over to me.
"Im glad you're okay!" He says embracing me into a tight hug.
I smile and hug back. I missed him. "Me too bud."
"Hey- where's Newt?" I ask after a moment.
"Um- last time I saw him we were in homestead, cause Gally called a gathering. Oh and guess what?! Starting tomorrow Thomas is a runner! Except he's got a night in the-"
"He what!?" I said shocked, but with a broad smile. I just know Gally would completely disagree with that idea.
"Yep, and Gally is so shuckin mad! You should've seen his face!" Chuck laughs. "So Newt must be in the Map room," he says calming down.
"Thanks Chuck," I giggle while heading towards the Map room.
Each step pains my knees, but I know I can manage. After a few minutes I approach the small hut in the woods and peak through the crack in the wall.
I saw Newt, Minho, and Thomas gathered around the map. I haven't been in there in a while, probably only 3 times in my time being in the Glade.
I walk over to the open door and knock on it. The boys turn their heads at once to look. "Miss me?" I say.
Newt's face lights up immediately and he runs over and hugs me tightly. He buries his face into the crook of my neck. "Teddy I missed you so much!" He says with a sad tone. " don't ever scare me like that again!"
"I missed you too!" I say rubbing his back. "I promise it won't happen again."
He pulls out of the hug but still holding on to me. He looks at me worriedly. "How's your head?"
I chuckle. "I'm fine Newt. I swear." I really don't want him to worry about me.
"You're lying."
"I- I'm fine, really. I just banged up my knees a bit, that's all."
"Okay, but please tell me if you need anything."
Before I can respond, I hear Minho "cough."
I smirk at him before embracing him in a hug. "Thank you Minho."
"You don't even know what I did," he laughs.
"I know you got me out of there," I say still hugging him.
He pulls away smiling. I walk over and give Thomas a brief hug. "Thank you, too, Tommy." He smiles. "Also I heard you're a runner, congrats." I say giving him a big smile a patting him on the back.
"So, what are you guys-" before I can finish I'm interrupted by someone at the door.
Jeff our med jack, we're standing there out of breath. "Guys," Jeff says in between pants. "The girl, she's awake! Come on!" And with that they were off.
We all exchange questioning looks, and quickly run out the door to catch up with the two boys. It was hard to keep up with my knees and all, but I can manage once again.
We enter the med jack hut, and see a worried looking Clint. "Dude, what happened?" Jeff says.
"She just ran outta here! I don't know where she went!"
Before I know it we are heading towards the lookout tower, seeing Gally and a bunch others gathered at the bottom. I was confused on what was happening, but then soon realized that the girl is up there, throwing rocks and sticks at the boys.
Chuck comes over from inside the crowd and walks with us. "Girls are awesome," he says laughing.
We all try and get closer, but it's hard to avoid the rocks, we can't see where they will land. Frypan hands Minho a pan, and Newt, Chuck and I find an old board and hid underneath it together.
"I don't think she likes us very much," Newt says chuckling.
"Hey! It's Thomas!" Thomas yells. The girl peaks her head out from above but quickly pulls it away. "I'm coming up!"
Gally tries to follow him up there, and Thomas turns and faces him, "just me, okay?"
He walks up the ladder, and disappears over the railing.
We all remain quiet, trying to listen to their conversation but unable to hear.
After a minute or so Gally speaks up, "what's going on up there?"
"Hey would you just give us a second," he shouts back.
Minutes pass and most of the Gladers are getting impatient, and getting back to their jobs. Including Clint, who went to tend to a sick Alby.
Finally, Thomas comes down with the girl.
"I leave you two alone for 1 minute and Clint lets you run out?!" Jeff says annoyed.
"I guess he forgot to mention the part where I kicked him in the balls," the girl said which made Chuck and I laugh out loud. I can already tell we are going to be friends. It's gonna be nice to have another girl around here, not gonna lie.
"Hey guys!" We all turn our attention to the voice coming from the med jack hut, which happens to be Clint. "Would you come here!?"
A worried look is exchanged throughout the group, and we make our way to Clint.
