Forget Me Not (A Maze Runner FanFiction)

Four

Later, when Tiffany was walking out of the kitchen with a sandwich in hand, there was a familiar voice yelling. Gally. He was talking to Alby about who knows what. But Alby wasn't too pleased with what he was saying. She jogged over to Chuck, the boy who came before her. "What's going on?" Tiffany asked as she was in mid chew.

Chuck shrugged with his hands on his hips. "All I know is that Gally saw someone, who wasn't a runner, come out of the maze with Minho."
Fuck. She looked around for Minho but her eyes locked on Newt. He saw him the same time she saw him and his eyes widened, but he looked away quickly. Tiffany kept looking for Minho but he was nowhere to be found. She looked down at Chuck. "I'm in deep shit." Her words were meant to be soft but she was loud enough for Gally to hear.

"There she is!" Everyone turned and looked at her as Gally said that, which made her feel like she shrunk. Alby turned and glared at her.

Tiffany looked around. "I have a good explanation for this. If you just find Minho-" Alby cut her off.

"Tiffany, I don't care if you were with that shank or not. I just want you to understand that you can't go into the maze unless you're a runner. You didn't follow the rules. And if-" Beeping noises started blaring throughout the maze and everyone went silent.

"Is that the box?" Frypan asked.

"Shit." some kid said.

"No, it can't be." another said.

Tiffany spotted Minho running out of a small building. Which she was sure was, what he told her, the Map Room. "What the shuck is going on, Alby?"

Alby looked at Minho, then back at Tiffany, shaking his head. He ran to The Box, where Tiffany first saw everyone. Tiffany looked around. "What's going on, why are people freaking out?"

Newt and Minho stood on either sides of her and said in unison, "The Box only comes up once a month." After they said that, Minho looked at Newt and laughed, but all Newt did was keep his eyes on the box. Which was opening.

Tiffany moved in front of people, trying to get a better look. When the box fully opened there was a guy, about sixteen, wearing a blue long sleeve which was rolled up. His hazel eyes locked on Tiffany, and she pretended to not see it. "Holy, shit." he whispered. Was that intended for me? She looked back at him and raised her eyebrows. He looked familiar. But from where?

Gally jumped down and grabbed the boy's arm and helped him out, and Minho walked over to Tiffany. "Do you know that shank?"

Tiffany shrugged as she stared at the new guy. "No."

"Well he seems to know you."

Tiffany turned to see Newt and hesitated for a second, annoyed. "Yeah, well that's not really my fault if I don't know him."

"I never thought it was." A sly smirk appeared on his face, which made Tiffany a little u comfortable. So this is what he looks like smiling. She was going to laugh but then realized that that wouldn't be the best idea.

Tiffany decided to go with a nod and play along. "Cute, and I suppose you never really were second-in-command?" She crossed her arms and smiled. "I know you're lying." Tiffany was still shocked that this conversation went from rude, to almost funny. But she almost forgot Minho was there.

"Okay, you guys need to cut it out with this flirting thing. It's weird. Weren't you guys just mad at each other?" Minho's eyebrows were raised.

Newt smiled, looked at Minho, then at Tiffany. He then walked away towards the greenie. His voice was faint to Tiffany and Minho but he said. "Welcome to the Glade, greenie. What's your name?"
