"You shanks ready?" Thomas, Minho and Brenda were standing at the forest edge with their packs on their back, looking into the abyss of trees. Despite the sun shinning it was dark in the forest. "You guys ready?" Minho repeated.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Thomas looked at Brenda who looked at him, she smiled and walked into the forest. Thomas followed and then Minho. They walked for at least an hour without conversation, until Minho stopped them to take a break. "Okay hold up, need...to rest."
"Weren't you a runner in the maze Minho? This shouldn't be that tiring." Said Brenda.
"Yeah well, I haven't practiced for a while so shut up."
"Whatever."
Thomas was lost in a train of thoughts, what was on the other side of the forest? Who was there? What was there? He hoped that WICKED had not set up camp on the other side and we're watching them. The thought made him laugh a little, it was all so stupid but then again he wouldn't be surprised if they were, Thomas was used to people watching him. Although, he wasn't used to girls watching him. Minho had gone to pee deeper in the forest and Thomas saw out of the corner of his eye that Brenda was watching him. He looked up and their eyes locked, for a long time. "I am sorry you know, for before." Thomas said out loud. Brenda walked up to him until her face was inches from his.
"Yeah, well to be honest I didn't like the way you reacted."
She paused
"I guess you still love Teresa." She began to walk away but Thomas grabbed her forearm. Without thinking he pulled her into a hug, his chin rested on her head and she eventually put her arms around his torso. They pulled away just as Minho reached them. "Okay, I've seen enough to make me vomit, so let's keep moving." Brenda laughed a little and Thomas smiled. They set off the rest of the journey.
