It was probably 9 o'clock when newt decided to leave the room, there was nothing to do except for wandering around, no one was awake except for the odd guard or janitor, which kind of surprised newt, he thought they would be up and running by now. Newt felt like he couldn't have been walking louder, every step he took echoed in the empty halls. He turned the corner that led to his room, he thought about popping his head in to check on Thomas but decided against it. He kept walking and was just about to turn the corner when he heard his door open. He turned around to see Thomas come out of his room. His hair was all ruffled and he was rubbing his eyes. "Morning Newt." His morning voice made newt want to melt in his spot "good morning sleepy" newt cringed at the words he said the minute they came out. Thomas walked up to be beside newt "where are you going" Thomas asked well pushing his hands through his hair, was he trying to be hot or did It just come naturally. "Just walking" Newt said trying to stop thinking like that. "I'll come with you."
{Time skip}
They were just walking around the building, exploring, a lot of the crew came in and they over herd they were starting a new level, getting new contestants and asking old ones to try again. "Would you ever go back in" Thomas asked newt, he had to think about it, it was hell in there but part of him missed the glade, "Depends" he came up with. "On what" "how weird life is out here, what about you" Thomas stayed quiet for a minute "No, I don't think I would, but I guess it depends" he said, the last part he looked over to Newt and gave him a light smile.
"What do you miss most" Thomas asked. "The lifestyles, how we all worked together to get the work done and the big fires." Newt scoffed at himself "I remember one time chuck was done with work early, he was a kid so we never made him work as long, but Issac and zart never thought it was fair, so they filled his hammock with pig shit. It smelt so bad we made him sleep in the woods for a week." Thomas smiled as newt laughed at his old memories, newt continued to say "it's things like that that make me miss the maze, but no I would NEVER go back in."
"Want to go outside?" Newt asked as the got to the buildings front door. Thomas just nodded and pushed the front door open, they started walking around the building just talking about random things. Newt loved it, he didn't want this moment to end, but it did, it was cut short by a voice behind them.
"Newt"
His heart dropped, he froze. He didn't want to turn around, he knew the moment he did everything would be different. But at the same time he want to run and hug the person who was behind him. He turned his head slowly to see Isaac, standing probably twelve feet away. He had cut his hair, and looked a lot more cleaned up. He was wearing beige khaki pants and grey sweatshirt. Newts legs carried him over and before he knew it he was in Isaacs arms. Newt fought everything in himself to not cry. "I missed you so much " issac said, squeezing newt even tighter. Isaac pulled out of the hug and before Newt could say anything issac was kissing him. Newt would be lying if he said it wasn't amazing, he kissed back but it didn't last long before he pulled out of it. Isaac just smiled looking down at him. Newt didn't want to make anything awkward so he smiled back. He followed issac's eyes as they led to Thomas, Looking at Thomas made him regret everything he had just done. Thomas looked a mix of disgusted and disappointed, he wasn't even looking at them he was looking at the ground. Newt thought he should try and break the silence "um Thomas this is Isaac, issac Thomas." That made Thomas look up, he shook Isaacs hand but didn't say a thing. Newt felt even worse when Thomas look looked at him. Newt felt like he was the main character of any teen drama and he hated it. He just wanted to go back to before Isaac had shown up, when Thomas and himself were getting back in there grove. They all started to walk back to the main building, they had got to the court yard when they heard another familiar voice. Newt was glad they weren't calling out to him though.
"THOMAS!, NEWT" He could recognize that voice anywhere, chuck came running out the building towards them as fast as he could. Newt watched Thomas's face light up the minute he recognized the little gremlin. They were pulled into a sort of hug, chuck had grown since the last time they had seen him. Chuck backed up then hugged just newt, then moving to thomas. Newt took a step back and looked up to Thomas. He had the biggest smile on his face, and newts matched it. He felt issac's arm go around his shoulder, at the same time Thomas smile faded but never left. He lifted Isaac's arn of him and just stepped to the side a bit, putting space in-between him and Isaac. Newt smile completely faded when the next voice spoke.
"Hi Tom"
