Running (Thomas x Reader)

Let's race.

(A/N sorry it took so long to get out another part but I've been busy with doing an art project, hopefully once I'm fully done with that, I'll be to add more parts.)

"How about a race?" Thomas smiled. A smirked slowly formed on your face when Thomas suggested this. "Sure, I'd love to wipe the floor with you" You said with a little added sass. For a moment you and Thomas seemed to be staring each other down, just to see who would blink first. Alby looked from you to Thomas and then back again, let out a sigh. "Alright. We'll do this race of yours at lunch, untill then rest up. both of you" Alby said before he turned to walked away. Thomas of course followed Alby to go over what he had found in the maze.

But for a short second before he went, he looked over his shoulder to you and gave you the same smile you had seen in your dreams. You sighed softly as you rubbed the back of your neck. "what have I gotten myself into" you muttered, before turning around in the spot. You took in everything around you. So this was home, for now.

It had been a few hours from when Thomas had suggested a race, in your few hours of rest. You didn't rest but explored the Glade, you wanted to understand your new home better. It of course wasn't all you did, you did a few warm ups, you were not sure how long it had been from when you really had to run. Sure you ran your first day in the Glades but that was more of a paniced run. You tied your hair up as you headed for where you could see the others, all crowding around to see the race between yourself and Thomas.

Thomas smiled softly as he saw you. "Ah so you didn't chicken out?" he said as he stood there. A smirked once again appeared on your lips. "You wish, your so going to lose" you told him. "How about we make it interesting?" Newt said. "Sure why not" you said as you put your hands in your pockets to hear what Newt had in mind. "Well if you lose you can deal with the Manure" he said. You smirked slowly fell from your face and you know just what that meant. "Fine but if I win, I become a runner" you said before looking toward Thomas. "you good with this?"

"Sure, but finally say does go to Alby" Thomas said, you nodded in agreement as it only seemed fair that finally say was Alby's. "alright, get to your marks" Newt said as he limped to the side, the boys lines up either side giving you and Thomas alot of space. "Race rules, no cheating. it's from here to the maze doors" Newt said. "first on there wins" A few of the others had already gone a head to make sure that someone was there to see who was winner was.

You took a deep breath. "good luck" you said to him. "yeah same to you" Thomas smiled as you both got ready to run. Newt stood there watching you both get ready. "alright, GO!" he shouted. Both you and Thomas took off running, and just like in the dream Thomas over took you. "No it's not going to end with you winning" you thought to yourself as you began to put your all into your running. Thomas looked back as he ran and gave you a cheeky grin. This of course only fueled your desire to win the race.

You could heard the others running behind you both, all wanted to see who would win the race. All of them were cheering for Thomas, it was only right they did. They all barely know you but maybe this would prove to them, that you were just as good as any boy. Before you even noticed, you had passed Thomas, your heart racing. You forcused on what was ahead and not behind you. You could swear for a moment you heard Thomas curse you. Soon the way into the maze come into view and you ran towards it. You smiled as you got there first and touched the wall lightly. You softly started to pant and slipped down onto the floor, you couldn't stop smiling. As the boys who were there with Alby were already cheering for you. All seemed to be amazed that you out ran passed Thomas. Thomas laughed as he finally made it over to you. "Looks like we have a new runner" he panted out before looking over to Alby. "Yeah it does" Alby said. "This calls for a celebration" you heard the out of breath voice of newt said.
