YOUR POV

Me and the other gladers start walking with group A. I guess we are kind of a team now. I look over at Newt and he looks strong. It feels weird to look at him, as I am used to just hearing his voice in my head. He comes over to where I am walking and looks at me. I see a smile come across his face.

"So..." He says. "Y/n. Let's get to know each other for real."

"Okay." I say casually.

"Ummm..." He pauses. "What was life like in your glade? What job did you have?"

"Well, I mean, life wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. It was okay I guess. I was a runner. So that was pretty cool."

"That is cool. I was a runner at one point." He says.

"Was that before you jumped off the walls?" I ask quietly.

"You remember that?!?" He says panicked.

"Of course I remember that. It worried me."

"Don't worry over me. I'll be fine. And to answer your question yes. It was before that."

"Oh." Is all I could think of. He looks sad so I stop asking questions. After a few minutes of walking the sun is almost down. As if he read my mind, a boy from Newt's group yells something about how we should set up camp. We get our things and lay down. Newt lays down next to me. He looks at me and smiles. For once, I can't wait till morning.
