I stood watching, Newt hugging me from behind to try and comfort me. The vote was unanimous, Gally was being banished.

Minho lead Gally past the other gladers into the middle of the circle. The walls were starting to close.

Gally looked at everyone, furious. "I thought you shanks were my friends."

That shut everyone up. The gladers holding the poles started slowly moving forward, forcing Gally closer and closer to the maze.

Most of the gladers couldn't watch, even though he was a jerk, Gally was everyone's friend. Except for me.

Gally was almost inside the maze, only inches away from the closing doors. He backed into the maze, the doors closing rapidly.

Now he looked directly at me. "This is all your fault."

Those were the last words any of us ever heard from him, for the doors had closed, locking him into the maze.

Everyone was silent, in shock of what had just happened.

I feel a twinge of guilt.

He was right this was my fault. No! No it was not! He attacked me, I never did anything to him. He brought this upon himself.

The boys holding the poles set them against the doors. The other gladers slowly started to return to the homestead, eventually leaving me and Newt.

He took my hand and led me into the forest.
