I Socialise With My Species

" y/n's point of view "

I BOUNCED MY leg up and down anxiously under the table. Minho, Fry, Winston and Newt all sat at a table with some boys not far from me, but I was sat with a group of girls.

"Your Maze was full of boys?" One girl, Abigail, asked me. "Really? Just boys?"

"Yeah." I glanced over at my friends again. Minho told me to "go make new friends" and "socialise with my species" so here I was. "Well, there is another girl, but she only got there a few days before we got out."

"Are those guys them?" Madison, the second girl, pointed towards my friends as Jack, another Glader, sat down with them. "I haven't seen them before."

I nodded. "Yeah. Winston, Jack, Minho, Newt and Frypan." I pointed at the guys and named them. "There used to be more, but... Yeah."

Thomas was still nowhere to be seen and it made me feel almost sick. I was sure Teresa was still with the doctors, but I hadn't seen Thomas since he was taken from the room.

"I'm sorry." Madison frowned. "We lost a few too."

It was quiet between us for a moment as we ate.

"Do you like any of them? Like like? The one in the middle's kinda cute." The third girl, Violet, changed the subject and I made a face at her last comment.

"Ew. Minho? Definitely not him." I shook my head. "He's my best friend, basically my brother. And he's gross."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he's disgusting. He likes the smell of his armpits and wets the bed." I was obviously lying, but they seemed to fall for it. It was pretty funny in my opinion.

I saw all the boys turn around and Minho jump from his seat. I turned to see what they were looking at and saw Thomas standing by the door. A smile made its way onto my lips and my stomach seemed to flutter.

"Oh, so you like him?" Abigail asked.

"Hmm?" I looked away from the boys at the door and back at the girls in front of me. "Who? Thomas?"

"If that's his name, then yes."

He walked past with Minho and met my eyes before he sat down at the table.

"I don't know. Maybe. Probably not." I answered honestly and shrugged. "I'm gonna go sit with my friends. It was nice meeting you guys."

Abigail smiled. "Nice meeting you, Y/N."

Now I knew Thomas was okay, but I was starting to worry about Teresa. I slid into the seat beside Jack and across from Winston with my food.

"I don't know. I guess WICKED still has them." One of the boys they sat with said, probably answering someone's question.

Winston lifted his hand in a wave and murmured a "Hi."

"How long've you guys been here?" Newt asked.

"Not long. Just a day or two." The boy answered then gestured to a boy in a hoodie sitting at a few tables away. "That kid over there has been here the longest. Almost a week."
