I swing the axe erratically and with a lot of fury behind every thunk. Stupid Gally, Stupid Glade, Stupid Gladers, I think as I put my entire body into my movements "Wow shebean! Didn't think you thought so low of us," I hear behind me. I look back shocked to see Minho standing and watching me, "Can't blame us all for Captain Gally's actions," he says jerking his head towards the bathhouse. I grit my teeth looking in Gally's direction, "Wow he really ticked you off, huh?" Minho laughs and my steely glare turns on him.
"Do you have a reason for badgering me Minho?" I ask as I resume chopping wood, I hear Minho give an exaggerated inhale. "I'm hurt, love," Minho says teasingly mocking the nickname Newt uses for me. I suddenly feel my headache with the thoughts of Newt and his not-so-subtle words, "Woah did Newt piss you off too?" Minho asks shocked and I finally abandon my pursuit of chopping and turn to Minho fully. "Newt didn't do anything," I tell him and Minho raises his brows encouraging me to continue. I sigh dramatically "He basically asked if I liked him, but like aren't there more pressing things to worry about," I say and Minho hums "So you don't like him?" Minho asks and I feel a crimson blush creeping up my cheeks.
"I didn't say that," I tell him and Minho furrows his brow "So you do like him? But you don't want to date him?" Minho asks and I sigh and squeeze the axe in my hand. "I like him but I don't want to, I want to find a way out of here. I don't want to get caught up in the glade when there's a whole world waiting for us," I tell Minho my eyes lingering on the open Maze door.
Minho's quiet for a minute as he stares in the same direction "Tell him that, he'll understand," Minho tells me as the lunch bell rings out over the glade. Minho's smug smile returns to his features immediately "Finally," he groans and starts jogging off towards the food. I follow him a laugh starting in my chest. When I near the tent we call the mess hall I see Newt with two bowls, "There's my favorite builder," he cheers as I jog closer and he holds out the bowl to me. "Thanks, Newt," I tell him as I grab the bowl and sit beside him.
I feel nervous as we sit side by side and what makes it worse is the shank directly in front of us. Minho, smiling at the two of us with a klunk-eating grin, "What?" Newt asks finally noticing the idiot which is Minho the shuckiest shuck face. "Nothing, I just thought you guys looked cute," Minho offers and I immediately feel my face light up with color and Newt only smiles trying to catch my eye. I hate Minho, "(Y/n)!" I hear a now familiar voice call in a not-so-happy tone, I turn to see Gally marching towards me.
"What Gally?" I ask confused about what I could have possibly done to upset him now, "I told you to chop wood, you're not done," he tells me and I clench my jaw "Gally, it's lunch I stopped for lunch like every other glader," he seems angrier by my words and he looks at Newt "You need to finish your work before you run off to flirt," he challenges and I find myself on my feet so fast I almost feel light-headed. "Excuse me?" I ask and Newt immediately stands beside me, "(Y/n), Gally, outside before you cause a scene," Newt tells the two of us and I glare at Gally not moving until he does.
As we march out of the mess hall I glare daggers into the back of Gally's head.
