One month skip-
So a month has passed, and I feel so much more comfortable in the Glade. Newt and I are like siblings, we work together in the gardens.
I decided on being a track hoe, it's very peaceful. Today is the day for a new greenie to come up. I'm kinda excited because I'm hoping Gally will leave me alone. He has a bit of a shuck face.
As I'm lost in my thoughts I hear a loud alarm sounding which Newt had warned me earlier that signals a new greenie coming up.
We all make our way over to the box. The lid opens to reveal a tall dark haired boy who looks very spooked. My heart drops. "Thomas" I say in my thoughts. I nudge Newt lightly and whisper in his ear "that's him
Newt... that's the other boy I see in my memories." He looks down at me with a concerned look on his for a second before the dark haired boy jumps out of the box and runs off as fast as he can. Whoa he is fast.
"We got a runner!" A bunch of boys laugh and joke as he runs. He makes it to the edge of the deadheads before he stops. Alby goes to run after him, and Newt stops him saying "I got this one Alby" Newt hurries off after Thomas as quickly as he can due to his limp. I decided to get back to work.
Some time goes by and it's lunch time. I set down my tools and head to dinner. I see Newt and Thomas walking to the hall as well. I jog to catch up to them. They both greet me and I say "I'm glad to see you have calmed down a little Greenie. Welcome to the glade" he smiles back and says "No need to call me greenie, my name is Thomas." He looks down at his feet. "Well, nice to meet you Thomas. I'm Y/N." We walk into the dinning hall and grab food and sit down.
Later that evening as the bonfire was beginning to start and I was walking towards the middle of the glade, I heard a "psst" coming from the trees to my right. I saw Thomas and he all but grabbed my arm and pulled me in there with him. "What is your problem?!" I say as I'm grabbing the leaves from my hair. "How did I hear your voice in my head earlier?! heard you say my name. That's the reason why I have even remembered it!" Trying to keep his voice in a whisper but failing miserably. "I have no idea what you are talking about Thomas! I think you are just tired. maybe you need to-"
"Don't." Thomas said quietly "I'm sorry, " he sighed "I'm just confused and scared."
"We all are Thomas,it's okay. I'm not sure why you heard my voice. Maybe, I said it out loud." I said calmly to him "Yeah.....maybe" Thomas said, not quite buying what I said. "Let's go to the bonfire greenie, you are the guest of honor." We both laugh and walk to the homestead. We meet up with the others. They welcomed Thomas to the group.All 3 of us sat down on a log. I had a jar of Gallys "special recipe" . We still don't know what it is but it helps on the hardest days I guess. I passed it to Thomas who seemingly had the same reaction that I first did but he ended up
drinking a bit of it.
"I'm gonna head to bed guys, goodnight."Newt says before walking off.
"Night" we all say together. I sit for a while getting to know Thomas. I didnt think about it at first but he was very attractive. There was a dull throb in the back of my head. It was like I was trying to remember something, but I couldn't. Who am I kidding, I just met this guy.How could I even know him? . "Time for lights out you two." We both sigh and get up to walk to our sleeping quarters. That shuck faced Alby.I slept pretty good without any dreams which was really nice. The next day Me, Thomas and Newt went to the gardens. "This job sucks' 'I heard Thomas say. "It's not that bad '' I say looking at thomas. Newt looks at me confused. "He didn't say anything Y/N." Am I going crazy?" I finished up my job before walking off to take a break. Later that night Thomas pulled me off to the side and said "You heard me earlier didn't you?!" He asked "I-i don't know what I heard okay?!
"There is no way we can read each other's minds". I say try to stay quiet. "I'm pretty sure we can because I can hear you thinking about how attractive I am," he says. I blush awkwardly "I don't know what's going on okay?" I replied back looking down at my feet."We must be connected somehow.. before we got here
we must be connected...and I need to figure it out." Thomas walks off obviously upset
