(The pic is Hypatia Roden. She's my OC. She was with Aris in the swap for Teresa, that's where she came in. And Aris comes in later.)
That night, we were assigned roommates. They were one, so we weren't lonely. Two, to keep an eye on each other. I was paired with Minho. I think Tia has to share with Tommy, but I can't remember. I know Gally got a room to himself, since he was here for emotional instability rather than self inflicted harm. I also know Teresa and Brenda get to share since they're like cousins or something. So yeah, I guess that means Tia and Tommy are sharing.
I put the final touches on my half of the room and plopped onto my bed across from Minho.
"So, what'd you think about the- what did he call them- Oh right, the other 'Gladers'?" he asked me. I shrugged, not truly positive. I mean, I had nothing against the others but...
"I dunno. They're all pretty okay. I think Tia's quite nice. However, Brenda's quite snarky." I responded. I dunno how, but I could just tell he smirked.
"You seemed to like Thomas, didn't you?" I blushed and shrugged.
"Yeah, he seems funny. D'you know him before today?"
"Kinda, but I think you like him. Like, like like him. And don't even deny it blushy pants." He teased. I shrugged. What could I say? He wouldn't believe me if I told him about my dream. Hell, if it wasn't for that I'd not like, like like him at this point.
"It's hard to explain. But when I figure out how, I will tell you first. Okay?" I said. He nodded.
"Got it. Now, if we're gonna be here for a while, we should get to know each other, right?" He asked. I nodded. "Okay then. Are you gay?" he asked.
"Bloody hell, why do people think I'm gay? I'm bisexual. But I like boys if that's what you're asking." I said, a bit awkwardly albeit.
"Cool. I'm straight, but like, I don't give a flying shit if you're gay. Just, no sex on my bed. Got it?" He asked me. I laughed.
"Aye aye mate. So, how do you know him if not from here?" I asked.
"We were friends in like, middle school, but I got rezoned before high school. So we're still on good terms, just disconnected." he explained. I nodded. It made sense.
"Cool. Also, what did you think of the Gladers?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I thought they were alright. Although, I thought Tia was pretty cute. And nice. And she can art." He said. I smirked.
"You got a little crush over there, Minho?" I teased. He jokingly glared at me.
"Yes, because you have room to talk. Okay, sure." Minho said.

Thomas PoV (Unless otherwise stated like this, it will be Newt's PoV)
"So, let's make this clear," Tia said,arms crossed as she looked at her roommate, AKA me. "I don't care who you have in here, but if I find underwear in here, it's going on a flagpole. Also, my stuff is off limit unless you need it. Like a tampon. If you need one, just ask." She said, a thinc Irish accent noticeable. I raised my eyebrows.
"Um, I probably won't need that." I said. She nodded and stepped into the bathroom to change. She put on a gigantic tank top with All Time Low written on it and pulled her hair into a bun on the top if her head. She turned to her bunk to put away her clothes, I noticed a tattoo coming from somewhere beneath her tank top and out onto her shoulder.
"Nice tattoo." I said. Well, I didn't mean it since I couldn't see what it was, but it probably was. She reached behind her and touched it.
"Thanks," She said, closing her suitcase. "However, I doubt you can tell what it is, considering it's under my tank top." she said. I shrugged.
"You probably have good taste." I tried. She pulled her shirt up to the top of the tattoo. It was a rose, and underneath it were the words 'You are what you love, not who loves you', which I recognized from a Fall Out Boy song.
"What's it mean?" I asked her.
"Well, a couple of things. One, I am bisexual and my parents don't support it. Two, I one day plan to love myself. So then, if I'm what I love, then I will be me." She explained. Wow.
"That's deep." I said as she lowered her shirt. "You know, I have known you for like, four hours, and I already think you're gonna be one of my best friends." I said. She smiled.
"Yeah. And just friends, because I can't take you from Newt." She teased, causing my cheeks to burn red. I quickly made myself yawn.
"Well, I'm tired, so g'night Tia." I said, diving under the covers. She let out a little laugh before climbing into her bed too.
"Night, Tom. See you in the morning." she said.
I guess it may be okay here. Maybe.
