#9 Another Girl In The Glade?

Thomas –

For nearly two months, you have been a couple, a very stable couple. Whatever fights you have you quickly resolve. You have come to the fact that Thomas will do anything to keep you happy or alive. You think it is sweet. Pathetic, but sweet.

One morning, on THE morning, the alarm sounded that signalled a new person will come to the Glade. Seeing as you were the only girl, you hoped it would be another girl to mull your problems over with. But be careful what you wish for.

You can hear the Box whirring as it rises to the top. The cage doors open and everyone peeps into the Box.  You gasp, bursting with happiness. It was another girl! She was unconscious right now, and good thing, because cat calls were exchanged in the crowd. You look over at Thomas, whose mouth was wide open and a sound that escaped from his mouth. “Wooooooaaaaaah,” is all he could say as Newt and Gally jump into the Box and man handle her out of it. They take the girl to the med-house and Alby turns to the rest of the Gladers. “I’m gonna need someone to watch her around the clock, ask her for clues when she wakes up.” “I’ll do it,” Thomas’ hand shot straight up in the air instantly, and you shift your position from one foot to the other. You hoped this nonsense wouldn’t continue – Thomas feeling as if he has to do everything. You sigh as you walk back to the Homestead.

A few days later, you decide to visit this girl. You walk to the med-house and ask Jeff what room the ‘girl’ is in. You walk to the door and slightly open it, glancing in. You see Thomas, a worried look plastered on his face and his hand holding hers. You stop dead when you see him squeeze her hand gently, looking at her blissful face like the first time he looked at you, the look that he gave you when he fell in love with you. You choke back a cry and run out into the Glade, covering your face with your hands and running into the woods. You knew now that you had to do it. You had to break up with him.

Newt –

The day soon arrived. You couldn’t wait to be ‘promoted’ as your friend Minho would say, from Greenie to civilised person. Since you were the only girl in the Glade, you were hoping that it would be another girl. Even though you have been here for a month, you still find yourself a bit uncomfortable around all the boys. Except Newt, of course. You have been going out with Newt since you first arrived in the Glade, only because it was love at first sight. You felt as if nothing and no one could get in the way of your relationship. Well, at least not yet.

The alarm rings and everyone gathers to the spot in which the Box comes up. The Box jolts to a stop and the door-like iron flaps open. Everyone peers in and many yells of protest rise. Newt slips past you and makes his way to the front, jumping into the Box and raising his hand to signal for everyone to remain silent. He picks the girl up bridal style and lifts her out of the Box, before jumping out of it himself. He lift up her head and brings her face close to his, looking as if he was examining it for signs of life. You shudder at how close their faces are and you look away. No, nothing is going on between them. You and everyone else walk away and you get back to the Homestead. You land face-first on yours and Newt’s bed and cry yourself to sleep. You weren’t sure if you were overreacting or not, but something smelt fishy, and not just Frypan’s cooking.

Minho –

You open your eyes groggily and look around, taking in your surroundings. You see Minho sound asleep in the corner of your eye and secretly jump for joy. Alby had given the both of you the day off, a reward for working hard. You snuggle close to his chest and fall back asleep.

A very loud alarm rings out. It was the signal that a new person was about to enter the Glade. You wake up Minho and you both dress, running out of your room and to the place where everybody else was gathered. The Box slowed and stopped, the doors opening. Everyone glances in and that is when you see it. It was a girl. You step back, trying to pull Minho away with you, but he was glued to the ground, his face mesmerised by the girl’s beauty. Forgetting you were there, he runs to the front and helps pull the girl out of the Box with Newt. He studies her face closely, before slinging an arm around his neck and an arm around her waist, before walking to the med-house. You start to feel sick at what Minho just did to you. You walk off to the Homestead and sit on yours and his bed, too many memories whirring through your mind. A tear rolls down your cheek and splashes onto your lap. No. This can’t be happening. He did not just ditch you for another girl. You decide what you have to do. You just have to hurt him before he hurts you.
