Blank Spaces (A Maze Runner fanfic)

Chapter 4 (Lizzy's P.O.V)

We walk out of the forest and see everyone gathering to, I assume, eat. We hurry over, eager to fill our bellys. On the way there, there's a loud grinding noise.
"What the hell?" Alice asks. We look around for the source and I see the four giant doors closing. The grinding continues until the doors close with a loud noise. It seems so quite after they close. We continue, assuming this was normal sense no one say anything about it. It's getting dark out as we get some food. Alice sits by Newt and I nervously join her. I guess I could trust Newt if Alice and Minho trust him, but I don't know. We start to eat as Alice makes conversation.
"So, what is this place? And what's your name?" She looks around.
"Name's Newt, greenie. And this is The Glade," Newt responds. "It's where we live, for now."
I look around the massive place, the doors now closed.
"We're trapped in here aren't we," I say looking over at Newt. Before he responds, Minho comes over to us.
"What exactly happened earlier?" He asks.
"Well," Newt starts. " these two come up in The Box. Alice unconscious and Lizzy leaning over her crying..." Minho cuts him off.
"Crying?"
"I thought she was dead, okay?" I feel my face heat up and I look down. Minho chuckles.
"I jump down in and she scrambles out and bloody runs off into the woods. Alice tells us their names and we go after this shuck-face." Newt pauses,"We find her up in a tree and Gally tries to climb up. She jumps out the bloody thing and runs off, running into you and you know the rest."
"You jumped out of a shuck tree?" Minho asks, his eyebrows raising.
"Why, yes," I joke. They start a bonfire and everyone is laughing an talking.
"Wait, are we trapped in here?" Alice asks, looking up at Newt. Newt and Minho exchange glances.
"We are, yes. But we're ganna find a way out of here. That's why everyone has to do their part. We all are working together to get out of this bloody nut house," Newts words are inspiring, yet kind of depressing. What if we don't make it out? Why are we even here? Who put us here? Do I have any family other than Alice?
"Woah, greenie, don't think to hard," Minho says. I notice I was silent for a few seconds. I shake my head.
"Sorry."
The ugly guy with the potato-like nose walks over, eyeing my sister. He stops in front of her, ignoring the rest of us.
"Hey, beautiful," he says. Alice scowls.
"Well, hello, Potato-Face," she says rudely. I hold back a laugh, while Minho and Newt chuckle. This annoys Potato-Face (now his new nickname). He grabs Alice's wrist. I stand up, he just crosse the line.
"Hey," I say as I whip his hand away. He scowls at me, I scowl right back refusing to look away.
"Keep your hands off of her," I say. Newt is standing now also, he comes between Potato-Face and Alice.
"Take a step back, Gally," Newt warns.
"Why should I?" Potato-Face snaps,"Its not like she's your girlfriend." Minho intercepts now. Damn he's hot.
"Woah, shank, it's not like she's yours either," He says.
"Stop talking like I'm not here!" Alice speaks up. "You better stay the fuck away from me!" She points a finger at Potato-Face. He shakes his head and backs away, leaving.
"He's an idiot," I sit back down.
"That slinthead thinks he knows everything," Minho concurs, sitting next to me.
"So, where are we sleeping tonight?" Alice asks.
"I'll have Chuck set up a place for you, somewhere safe from Gally," he says, irritation still in his voice and at the end slightly worried. Soon there's a place set up for Alice and I in the Homstead, that's what they called it.
"So what's that asain guy's name?" Alice asks, turning towards me. She's grinning.
"Minho," I reply. I know she's going to tease me about him.
"He seems to like you," she wiggles her eyebrows.
"Please. What about you and Newt?" I say. She groans and rolls over. I laugh at her reaction. We drift off to sleep after awhile.
