Him & I (Newtmas story)

Chapter 1: What the hell?!

Hi to whoever's reading this crazy fanfic, just wanted to say thanks for opening this one and giving it a chance, I really appreciate it! 🩷 Also, feel free to leave any suggestions or comments on how I can improve it in any way. Thanks 🫶 now onto my version of The Maze Runner: A Newtmas story!

Thomas POV:

I woke up with the floor shaking underneath me. The cage-like walls that surrounded me were made of an old, rusted metal. I came to the conclusion that I was in some sort of box-like device...whatever that was. I then realized I was moving through a metal shaft, dim lights flickering around me. I could barely see two feet in front of myself. I seemed to be moving faster and faster along that shaft. I looked up just as the box jolted to a stop, making my stomach churn. The trapdoor above me, also seemed to be made of the same old, rusty metal as the walls of this box device.

 Before I had time to ponder it, the doors opened and a bright light streamed into the box, filling the space. I brought my hand up to my face to block out as much as I could, giving my eyes a chance to adjust, (I didn't do a very good job). When my eyes had adjusted to the light as best they could, I noticed that there were figures above me. My ears perked up as I heard voices, they were all talking in hushed whispers. My eyes had fully cleared by that point and that's when I realised that one of the figures above was jumping down into the box.

 It was a boy, maybe 16 or 17, he looked rough, with the wildest eyebrows I have EVER seen, when he spoke a low, tough sounding voice came from his throat, "Day one greenie, rise and shine" he told me. He grabbed me and threw me out of the box, I landed hard on the ground. I was swarmed by maybe 60 boys, all trying to get a look at me. I couldn't take it, I jumped up and sprinted away from all of them, the last thing I heard before I took off was, 

"C'mon Gally, you've scared him off, you dumb shank".

 I ran as fast as I could through this strange place, I was caught up in my thoughts but I just kept running. That is, until I tripped and landed face first into the grass...way to go clumsy me. Earthly smells filled my nostrils as I just lay there in shock. I was still laying in the grass when I heard a voice. 

"That was one hell of a dash you made there greenie" the voice said

I looked up, and standing before me was a boy, he had an accent that shone through when he spoke, British I believe. He had fluffy, golden blond hair, he had warm chocolatey eyes with little gold specks hidden within them, light freckles dusted his face, along with sun-kissed cheeks. He had a tall figure, he wore a loose long sleeved shirt, his hidden arm muscles creating a slight bulge in it, and odd buckle type bands around his wrists, he also wore plain brown trousers and was leaning more to one side. In other words, he was extremely good looking. "Wait. What? Jeez man pull yourself together!" 

"You alright there greenie? he asked, "Here let me help you up". 

The blond boy reached out his hand I stared at it for a second, and then I took it and let him help me up. 

"Seems like you've met our new greenie Newt" an unknown voice said.

I turned around and the voice belonged to a dark skinned guy, his eyes were kind of like the blond boys, but with more of a steely gaze and no gold. he had little hair, and stockier build than the other boy next to me, He was also muscly, it seemed that everyone has muscles these days. He approached me and the boy.

"Hey there greenbean, I'm Alby" 

He stuck his hand out for me to shake, I didn't take it. He didn't have the same likeableness the blond British boy had.
