Newt x Y/n, Part 1: The Glade

Chapter 29, The Pit

I said my goodbyes to Newt. Unfortunately, Gally was was the who escorted me and Thomas to the pit. It was excruciating but thankfully quiet.

As we got to the pit, he talked,

"Still can't believe you guys were rewarded."
He said angrily.

"Gally," I turned to him, "just because you failed to show Alby your loyalty and lost the place for second-in-command doesn't mean you have to take it out in the rest of us. Suck it up, and grow up. Life isn't fair." I said.

I was tired of his complaining, whining, and rudeness. Thomas looked down and snickered quietly.

He put us into the pit making sure to slam the door and lock it real tight.

"You have some fire in you y/n." Thomas said.

I looked at him,

"Honestly Thomas, I'm just tired of all the disrespect he gives me. He's mean for no reason. I try to be nice and it doesn't work. I've lost hope for him." I said.

"I completely understand." He said.

Thomas and Gally weren't so fond of each other either. I heard that on Thomas's first day, he was looking at the walls getting a little too close and Gally pushed him hard. Gally said he was trynna save him.

I couldn't understand why Gally disliked me and Thomas so much. As soon as we got here he just had a sense of hate for us.

Me and Thomas bonded over the entire night. We talked, laughed, joked. We'd become even closer if possible.

We soon fell asleep.

The next morning Minho came to get us out. It was about an hour before the doors opened. I couldn't stay put. I was so excited to run today. But one reason we were going out today was to go inspect a Griever that Thomas killed the night we spent out in the maze.

I was kind of nervous but whatever. We met at the walls and Minho supplied us with backpacks. They had an extra pair of socks, 3 water bottles, first-aid kit, 2 knives, 2 sandwiches and an apple.

Minho told us to go change so we did. My clothes were in me and Teresa's hut. I took a quick shower and put on a tank top, a green flannel, jean shorts, socks, and my sneakers. I put my hair in a ponytail.

I ran out to the walls, my stomach ached a bit due to my gash still healing but I was supposed to get my stitches off tomorrow.

When I was running I saw Thomas, Minho, and Newt there. I hugged Newt from behind. He pulled my arm gently, being aware of my stomach and he kissed me passionately.

There was still 20 minutes before the walls opened.

"Love, I need you to be careful out there today. You will be running with Minho today so please just stay with him." He had my face in his hands and we were making eye contact.

"I promise you I will. I'll be extra careful." I said.

He hugged me gently and kissed me on the cheek.

The walls had begun to open.

"It's go time" Minho said.

I kissed newt once more and Me, Minho, and Thomas got into running stance. Newt gave me a slap on the butt. I could feel his smirk and I immediately got red.

"Now!" Minho yelled.

We took off. I was eager and remembered what Newt had told me.
