DEFENCE SYSTEM | NEWT; THE MAZE RUNNER

chapter eleven | fight and note

THE NEXT DAY

i'm still pissed from yesterday's commotion. I never thought minho would do me like that. i'm gonna talk to minho today, hopefully my emotions wont take over.

I guess we'll see.

YOUR POV

truth or dare yesterday was fun. I mean apart from the minho kiss, that was just weird. never thought I would be kissing my bestie but, it was just a laugh. i'm still annoyed about not finding anything, about the maze I mean. it keeps buggin' me!

it's now morning and i'm going to get some breakfast. that was until I heard a voice behind me.

"y/n!" the voice shouted as I turned around to see the mystery person. I turned around and saw a certain brown haired-boy skipping to me. chuck.

"hey buddy!" I said, giving him a little cuddle and kneeling slightly to his height. which was not very far.

"hey y/n!" chuck said, jolly as ever.

"what's up?" I asked him.

"just wanted to go get breakfast with you," he said, with a cute smile.

"of course buddy," I replied back.

"race ya!" he said back, starting to run.

"oh you're on!" I shouted behind him. we were both near the kitchen, I wanted chuck to win, so I let him.

"ah ha! I won!" chuck said, placing his hands to his knees in complete exhaustion.

"yes, you did! well done!" I said, proud of my matureness. kinda. it was silly to race, yet it was so fun, I don't really care.
"you go sit down, i'll get you some food," I said, placing my hands on his shoulders and turning him around to sit at a table. he walked towards a table with minho and thomas.

I got the two plates and walked towards the table with the three boys already talking. as soon as the boys saw me, they smiled and began talking again.

"here you go bud," I said, putting chuck's plate in front of him.

"thanks y/n!" chuck said, already digging into his food. I chuckled at his fast actions and began eating too.

"so, when do you wanna start running?" minho asked thomas.

"um, well how about-" thomas began talking when newt came and sat beside thomas.

"hey guys," newt said, smiling at everyone at the table, and looking directly at me. but I didn't return the look. not one bit.

"hey man!" minho said, smiling at newt's presence.

"what are we talking about?" newt asked. this is my chance. this is my chance to piss newt off.

"we were just talking about-" minho began talking when I cut him off.

"talking about when me, tommy and minho are gonna run the maze today," I said, with sass. newt looked at me with a scared face and disbelief.

"what!" newt shouted, which drew attention to some of the other gladers around us.

"you heard me," i said, looking in newt's eyes and turned back to minho and thomas.
"so. when?" I asked the two boys.

"um..." they both said, not knowing what to do in this awkward situation.

"now? great!" i said, not bothering with the answer and stood up with my plate in hand.
"i will meet you two shanks in the hut to pack up some things," i said and began walking away from the remaining four boys at the table with different faces.
