Running

Chapter 1 - The Maze

Plot: Your Newts little sister and you have a big crush on Thomas and when he runs into the maze, you run too.

I walked throught the Glade, trying to find someone to talk to or something interesting to do. The guys are always trying to protect me and Teresa from doing "the hard work", atleast some of them. Others, like Gally, are not that supportive of the idea. To be honest, neither are we but most of the time I just try to ignore it.

It gets a lot worse when you have your brother in the same place, protecting you from everyone and everything. Newt is basically the second in command and everytime a guy talks to me, touches my arm or even looks at me, he gives them a death glare. He only thinks about me and my safety; he doesn't care about his. Newt doesn't even care about how I would feel if he tried to commit suicide again, by jumping of those stupid walls.

And that sucks even more when he doesn't let you hang out with some of your friends because "they're dangerous", like Thomas, Minho or Teresa. Thinking about it, it feels like the old normal world: but once again, there is no one attached to a memory, or even a place.

I don't even try to search my mind for an answer or memories anymore, I just gave up on that. I just hope someday I'll be able to get them back, and figure out who I really am.

Me and Newt always felt a strong feelings towards each other; when he first found me in the box, it was like we were connected. At first, everyone thought we would be lovers of some kind, because we were always together. To be honest, I started to believe that idea, but it was not that kind of feeling, not that I remember what that feels like. It's more like "If you die I will literally go out of my freaking mind" kind of feeling; a protective one.

We knew that we were connected and then we eventually found out we could be related. We're not sure yet, of course, there's no way to be.

But then, there was also Thomas.

Newt was one of the first Gladers. A year later this place was filled with only boys, so when I showed up, they were pretty surprised. For two years, other girls never came. It was just me, alone, having to deal with my own problems without anyone that would actually understand me. I've been here for what seems like forever, but it must have been 2 years or something. The boys were always flirting with me and messing with my head, but none of them got me feeling the way Thomas does.

Since he arrived, everything has changed. Newt seems to like him though, even though when me and Thomas even talk for more than five minutes he pushes me away from him.

I don't like to admit this - and I will never say it to anyone, especially Newt or Thomas - that I kind of like the greenie. We've been friends since he arrived, I believe me, Chuck, Newt and somehow Minho are his only good friends.

But the thing is, I don't seem to like him just as a friend. He probably doesn't have the same feelings towards me, but I can't do anything to help it or erase the feeling. I've tried to ignore him for a couple days, but it never worked. He always found his way back in.

Yesterday it all got worse. We were close, as in really close. We almost kissed and that totally freaked me out: but it also made me melt.

I remember it like it happend five minutes ago. We were just casually talking about everything: the maze, what we remember from our "other life", what we think about all of this crap, the people here, what we could do to get out and if we had hope.

We were both getting really emotional at some point and we started to get more close, like we've been before. Thomas started to lean in and our lips touched for a few seconds, but then Alby called his name from outside, probably needing him to do something for him, and we both almost jumped. He had to go.

It's been awkward between us today.

Minho and Alby are running in the maze, trying to find something about Ben. If he survived (which is impossible, it never happend before) and if they could find a shirt or anything that belong to him.

Hours later.

More than four hours passed and they haven't came back. Maybe something bad happend to both of them? I seriously hope not; they're my friends and without them this place would not be the same.

They're both Guardians, and Alby is considered as the Leader. Which is a little bit weird though, but everyone respects him so I guess that is why.

"Hi (Y/N)" I heard Newt's voice. I was sitting against a tree. "We're gonna be waiting for them right next to the doors, want to come?"

I nodded. I just hope they manage to come back.
