------------------
Gally's POV:
Last night was Y/N's first bonfire, she's been here for a month now, and I honestly love her so much. She's so mysterious and loving, I couldn't help but fall in love with her.

Nobody knows that I love her, well, at least not yet.

Today is the day I plan on telling everyone. They all need to know how special she is to me, and even if I get rejected, I don't care, because she'll still be in the glade with me--and well, the others.

Although, I feel so different, maybe she's changed something in me. I find myself sharing smiles to my fellow builders and laughing with them more often, and I don't even like the builders.

Yeah, she's definitely changed me, but I can't help it.

Maybe it's for the best?

I got out of my hammock and made my way to the kitchen. Y/N was a runner, so she was always one of the first people to get up, however, today was different, she wasn't there.

I rushed to her room and knocked on the door, it opened swiftly, Y/N stood there with a panicked look painted on her face.

"Hey is everything oka--"
"Yeah. Shuck, I just woke up late, Minho's going to kill me!"
"Don't worry," I chuckled, "I wouldn't let 'em."

She tied her shoes and strapped on her pack, ignoring what I had just said, or maybe she just didn't hear it.

"Uh, yeah," I said sheepishly.

Wow, what's going on with me?

"I'll get you something to eat, ya know, save time." I dashed off to the kitchen, grabbing the plate of bacon that Frypan had made for her, and raced back to her room.

Her door was still open and she was shoving something into her pack.

"Why'd you wake up late?"

I asked, placing a piece of crisp bacon between her lips.

"Don't know, thanks." She answered quickly, her mouth full as she pulled her hair into a braid.

"Want me to do it?"

"I've got it, thanks."

"You okay?"

"Like I said, I woke up late."

Y/N and I both rushed out her door and toward the walls. We were silent the whole way, and, shuck, I don't think silence has ever felt so loud.

"Y/N?"
"Hm?"
"Can I--"
"Gally, why are you even up so early?"
"Well I wanted--"

"Hurry it up Y/N! You're burning precious daylight!" Minho yelled, his hands resting on his hips.

Y/N and I quickened our pace to a jog.

"I uh, I wanted to tell you something."
"What is it Gal?"
"Um, uh.."

What happened to my confidence? It all came crumbling down and suddenly, I felt so..small. It felt like everyone was towering over me and I just stood there helpless. I don't know.

"C'mon Y/N, let's get going." Minho quickly patted her back and they took off.

"I-I guess I'll tell you when you get back?" I yelled into the maze.

Y/N looked back and ran to me, practically jumping into my arms.

"Yeah Gal, see ya."

Her hand lingered with mine longer than usual before she took off.
