The next day

You hear everyone leave their hammocks but you are tired and you continue to sleep. It is really early and you have no idea what is going on outside. You decide to get up and see what all the racket was about and find nearly all the Gladers surrounding a tree. Someone is up there and she is too scared to come down.

"We come in peace!" Minho shouts.

"Where the hell am I?" She screams, and you realise it is a girl.

She starts throwing sticks at them when you ask Newt how she ended up there.

"She showed up in the box, she is a girl as you can see. She quickly climbed up that tree in fear... but at least she didn't try and run into the maze," he adds.

"You should go up there and calm her down."

"Too late, Tommy is going." He points at him and you look at Thomas halfway up. He reaches her and you can only see his lips moving and can hear what they are saying. She lowers the branch from her hand and he sits beside her. Everyone had walked off now that Thomas has calmed her down and you don't realise you are staring at them.

Newt turns his head to you and you face him, "What?"

"Do you forgive him?"

You don't answer him and cross your arms, he asks, "Then why are you so interested in him all of a sudden after ignoring him?"

"I'm looking at the girl."

He scoffs, "Yeah, she's speaking to him, they seem to be getting along."

"Whatever," you roll your eyes and walk away.

It is breakfast time and you look over to Thomas, he is having a conversation with the girl

It is breakfast time and you look over to Thomas, he is having a conversation with the girl. Minho notices your facial expression change and tries to distract you, "Hey Y/N? The first day of being a runner today, you ready?"

"Yeah..."

The runners finish eating and you all head to the map room, Minho is helping you understand most things and hands you a vest. The walls open and they run in a line but you stay close to Minho. No Grievers are spotted so far and you run past Thomas, he looks at you and you ignore him. The walls start to change and you decide to run in a different direction, 

"Hey Y/N you can't go that way!" Thomas shouts.

"Don't tell me what to do."

As the walls still continue to move around, you find yourself about to get trapped and you run for the exit. You can see the light in the opening, getting smaller so you race towards it but you figure you can't make it when Thomas pulls you out from the other side. You land on your face and he helps you up, "Are you alright?"

"I don't need your help, I can get up on my own."

Ben finds you guys and asks what happened, "Y/N almost got squished if it wasn't for me!"

"I could have made it."

They run backwards out of the maze and you follow them, "I thought you were behind me," Minho exclaims.

"Sorry, I just-"

"You nearly got yourself killed, on your first day!"

Thomas appears, "This is exactly what I was talking about! But no one listens to me!"

"I won't do it again, I swear!"

"Yeah, you won't, if you just stop being  a runner altogether!"

"Enough Thomas!" Minho says, "You can't decide that."

"Okay, even if you aren't worried about her, she still almost got Thomas killed! Putting all of us in danger. Then again, she is learning," Winston says.

"Anyway, we are closer than ever at solving the maze, I could actually feel the breeze from the other side before I got cut off!" Ben exclaims.

*******

It is nearly sundown and dinner is ready, Chuck and Minho sit beside you and he starts giving you advice about the maze.  Normally Newt sits next to you but this time Winston, Gally and Newt sit beside Thomas, you cant hear them. 

"Hey so are you guys a thing now?" Gally asks.

Thomas looks at the girl, "Uh, no, no. I don't really want to-"

"We are just friends," she states.

"Too bad... why not though?" Newt questions.

Thomas glances over to you, "Because I'm in love with someone else..."

After everyone finishes eating, you decide to speak to the new girl, she is sitting beside the bonfire

After everyone finishes eating, you decide to speak to the new girl, she is sitting beside the bonfire.

"Hey."

"Oh hi."

"I'm Y/N and you are? Oh, wait you probably can't remember-"

"I'm Teresa! Yeah, I know, the others freaked out as well."

"I remembered my name on my second day."

She smiles, "Are we the only girls here?"

"Yep!"

"That's weird... wait I feel bad, you were the only girl before me."

"Yeah, It's glad to have another girl here."

"Do you ever feel scared?"

"Why would I feel scared?"

"You know, being the only girl, and everyone else here is strong guys."

"They all have done nothing but make me feel welcome... well nearly everyone."

"Does Thomas hate you, I saw the way you were glaring at him."

"Well, I liked him at first but now he changed."

"I think you should sort things out, he always mentions you and he is a good guy."
