For several seconds, I felt like the world had frozen in place. A thick silence followed the thunderous rumble of the Door closing, and a veil of darkness seemed to cover the sky. Twilight had fallen, and the mammoth walls looked like enormous tombstones in a weed-infested cemetery for giants. I leaned back against Newt, overcome by disbelief at what Thomas had just done.
"What the bloody hell?" I felt Newt's breath fan against my upper neck.
Why would Thomas do that? Does he not know he could die out there.
Yet, part of me didn't blame Thomas for wanting to help Minho and Alby.
I was just feeling a whole mix of emotions in my stomach. When Thomas left, I felt like I should've gone with him. Like I had to go with him.
I was going to, but Newt held me back.
I felt connected to Thomas, not romantically but... emotionally. I didn't know what it was, but I felt like I had to follow him.
But I didn't.
"That stupid shank!" I recognized the voice of Gally yell. I turned around in Newt's arms, making him turn with me. His hands fell form my torso.
"Who are you calling a shank, asswipe?" I snapped, earning a few snickers around the Glade. I hated how Gally thought he could just talk all of this crap about the other Gladers and be rude to them.
"Your bloody little friend that ran into the maze, asking to be killed." He snapped, slowly walking closer to me.
"No, he was helping some people he cares about." I yelled at him. "Your just too much of a pussy to do a thing like that." I snapped. By now all eyes were on me and Gally.
The Gladers probably thought I was a quiet girl, too scared to say anything. Well, I'm sure they think different now.
Gally's face turned red as he stomped the rest of the way over to me. "Listen you shank." He grabbed me by the collar of my shirt, but I didn't flinch. "You don't throw words at me like that, okay?" He tried to compromise, but I was in no mood.
"And you don't touch me, okay?" I mimicked him before punching him square in the jaw.
