Zelia woke up from the Glade without her memories from her past - only her name she knows.
What will happen to her? Is she's willing to give up everything? Will she face all of her challenges?
"Why did you do that? I thought you hate me since day 1...

More than two weeks have passed since Zelia and Minho confessed their feelings to each other. They expected that they wouldn't be able to hide what happened because they knew Newt would immediately tell what's going on between them.
The day after that happened, when Zelia came out of her room when she went to the kitchen, she knew that all the Gladers were looking at her. Even if they didn't speak, she knew they already knew what was going on.
"I kind of didn't expect that, but not surprised though." The girl heard Frypan say as he smiled at her. She just rolled her eyes before thanking him for the food before sitting in the chair where her friends were.
Zelia was not surprised to see Ben because she knew he wanted to tease her about the former Keeper. The girl just took a deep breath and tried to focus on eating her breakfast.
"Is it true? That you and Minho have something going on?" Zelia didn't expect that Chuck—next to Newt on his right—would ask her a question while he was looking at her and waiting for an answer.
"You know, Chuck, try to avoid Newt as much as possible. He's not too good than you think." Her friends laughed because of what the girl said.
"Hey! If it wasn't because of me, maybe we'd all be out here at this place; you still both didn't admit your feelings to each other," Newt said, causing Zelia to just shrug. The girl was about to speak when suddenly Ben called out to someone right next to Newt.
"Minho! Why don't you join us?" If Zelia was drinking something right now, she might have blown it because of hearing the name. Just hearing his name make her heart pounded fast, making her go crazy inside.
Tomorrow will be the end of Alby's punishment for Minho. What did he do for a month? Runs around the Glade every morning, eats breakfast, rests for a few minutes, runs again, eats lunch, rests, simply watches Zelia from afar, jealous when he sees Gally talking to her, what to tell Alby he will do it, sleep in the hammock—since Ben is using his old room—repeat.
Zelia felt that someone sat beside her. No need to look to know who it is. She also doesn't know why her heart rate suddenly accelerated; that's why she's trying her best to act normally, fine, and calm in front of their friends.
"Hey, guys. What are you guys talking about?"
"Us, you shank."
Zelia didn't expect she would say it that out loud. She just pretended that she didn't say anything and ate her food in silence. She also felt that her friends, including Minho, were obviously smiling.
