Hey! I really want to know if I should continue this! Please comment if I should!!!

AUDREY P.O.V.
"Where are they taking him?" Chuck asked me as we walked towards the fields to visit Newt. I looked over to see two boys dragging the new greenie away.
"He ran so they are locking him up for a bit. Alby doesn't want him panicking and getting into the maze." I explained "You would have gotten locked up too, but you didn't seem like you wanted to run at all. I'm gonna go see Newt so I'll see you later, okay Chuckie?"
Chuck came up in the box last month. He was still getting used to the glade. I guess it takes while to get used to being trapped.
"Yeah I'll see you" he said and we went our separate ways.
"Hi Newt," I greeted my brother as I walked up. He was digging in the dirt getting ready to plant something. He was the keeper of the Farmers and second in command amongst the gladers.
"Hi Aud," he said looking up, "did ya see the Greenie's faceplant? Bloody hilarious"
"He's never going to hear the end of it." I commented "No one will let him forget about"
"Yeah it-"
"Newt!" Someone interrupted. We turned to see Alby standing with the new boy. He motioned for Newt to go over.
"I think I gotta go" he said as he began to walk away. "See you at dinner?"
I nodded, "See you at dinner."
I walked over to the ladder leading up to a bridge and began to climb. I did a few runs carrying baskets of food and supplies from different areas and decided to be done for the day after I ran an envelope from Alby to the Map Room for Minho.
The Map Room was the most secretive place in the glade. It was inside of the small forest in the back corner. Only runners were allowed inside.
I jumped down and landed behind the building. Walking towards the front I could hear Minho's voice talking with someone else.
"That wall has to be wrong. It goes here and then the turn was further up." Minho explained.
"No the turn was right here, I know it" I recognized the voice. It belonged to Ben, one of the runners.
"If the turn is right there then explain how this wall ends right here?" Minho replied
"Maybe you're right" Ben sighed.
"Of course I'm right" Minho gloated.
"Minho?" I yelled knowing he could hear through the walls that were only branches and twigs.
"Who is it?" He called out. I could hear the irritable tone. He hates when people came close to the Map Room.
"Its me, I've got a letter from Alby." I stood at the door and waited for him to open it. I heard papers being crinkled and then Minho's face appeared.
He smiled and held out his hand. "Well look at you being productive. Normally you call it quits by now."
"The greenie came up pretty late so everyone's working still,"
"Hey Audrey," Ben said As he walked around Minho who was standing in the doorway reading the paper "how have you been?"
"Pretty good, just bored out of my mind" I laughed uncomfortably. He always made me feel that way.
"So I'm pretty hungry wanna go get dinner? I hear Frypan made peanut butter sandwiches."
Let's just say Ben had a little crush on me and the feelings weren't going both ways. He always stood too close to me and flirted and asked to get lunch or dinner. No matter how many times I told him, he couldn't accept no.
As he took a step closer I took one back and I was against the outer wall of the Map Room. I glanced at Minho but he was too engulfed in the letter to notice the small movement.
Since he was my best friend I had told him how uncomfortable I was around the blond, desperate boy and he always helped to get me away from him.
I cleared my throat loudly to get Minho's attention. "Um... not today Ben-"
"Oh come-" he started.
"We should probably start heading to dinner. Newt said he would save us seats Aud" Minho chimed in finally. He gently took my arm and casually pulled me out from between Ben and the building.
"Maybe I could sit with-"
"Sorry our table's full" and with that Minho pushed me infront of him as we rounded the corner of the building. "Go!" He whispered and we ran to the glade laughing.
We stopped near the blood houses and caught our breath.
"Man," Minho said, "I don't get why that shank can't see how weird you are around him. Seriously you should tell Alby. Maybe he could do something and keep the shuckface away from you."
I shook my head, "I don't want to make a big deal over it and it's not like he's done anything bad."
"But what if he does? He keeps getting closer every time he asks you out."
"Well that's why I have you and Newt and pretty much everyone else right?" I told him as we walked into the dining hall. "I'm always around someone."
"Guys!" Chuck's voice called out. We sat at our table which consisted of us Alby and Newt.
"Where have you two been?" Newt asked.
"I was delivering a letter to Minho for Alby" I said glancing at the dark skinned boy.
"Where's the greenie?" Minho asked as we sat down.
"In the showers, said he wasn't hungry" Alby said.
"As long as he's ready for the party tonight."
