Thomas POV:

After Chuck said that, I had to see more, I couldn't just turn around and walk back now could I? I tore my arm out of Chucks grip and kept going towards it, moving faster than before. Out of nowhere the guy with the crazy eyebrows came charging towards me and pushed me hard onto the ground. 

"What The hell is your problem man"!? I shouted at him as I got up from the ground, brushing myself off. 

"Maybe this hasn't been explained to you fully yet greenie, but we're not allowed to leave. Leaving is a clear violation of the rules that are keeping us all safe"!

"What's going on here". "I heard shouting". Newt said as he came running up to us, his limp being more defined than before.

The guy with the crazy eyebrows spoke to Newt and said, "Well, the greenie here thinks he's above all of us and that he can just waltz out here and go into the maze" Which is a clear violation of our rules here. He should be thrown in the pit"!

"Gally calm down". Newt said calmly "The greenie doesn't know better, he's still new here and new to the rules"

As Gally continued to protest, I noticed Newt was looking at me, my cheeks turned a light shade of pink as he stared on. 

"Greenie, you got me"? Newt asked again.

"W-What"? I asked considerably confused

"You won't try to go into the maze anymore right"? he asked as he stared at me still.

"O-Oh, yeah, alright I won't". I knew deep down still that I had to figure out what was happening in this place.

Just then the metal slabs I was so interested in that must've been 70ft tall, started to close, taking me by surprise. That's when I realised that they were doors, and that they were closing. 

"Oh shit"! I yelled. "What is happening"?! I stumbled back, startled by the doors.

"The doors are closing" Newt said calmly. "They close every evening and open every day early in the morning".

"But what-" I started. As I tried to speak I heard a bell gong from somewhere afar.

"Dinner"! chuck exclaimed happily. "C'mon man, let's go, while it's still hot"!

I looked between Chuck, Newt and the guy named Gally, until finally deciding to go with Chuck instead of staying with Newt and Gally. Chuck trotted away with me walking right behind him, it wasn't hard considering he was small. It was pleasantly cool when me and Chuck made our way to get dinner.  After meeting the cook whose name was Frypan, a dark skinned guy who looked like Alby but was much nicer and funny, we made our way to a place away from everyone else. Dinner was pork chops and green beans. Ironic much? 

We sat farther away from everybody else, I was on a stump and Chuck was on the ground. They sky was a mix of violet rays mixed with blues and blacks as the sky darkened. I was looking up at the stars, wondering wherever in the world we were, when a familiar figure came up to us. Chuck had left to go see if he could bribe Frypan to give him seconds, so it was just me there. Newt had come over to check on me.

"Hey," he said. "Can I sit here with you"? 

"sure," I replied as I moved over to give him room to sit with me on the stump. He sat next to me, our shoulders brushing, and our legs touching.
