"Alright I have a confession" Gally says once all the gladers are gathered. I laugh at his seriousness and Newt elbows me knowingly. Yes, I do have a crush on the builder boy but he could never like me back, we are to different. "I like someone, surprising I know but I mean the kind of like where that one person consumes your mind, and to me that is Avery, please go out with me?"
He begs and I feel a happy tear leak out of my eye and I run towards him and he wraps his strong arms around me. I feel safe and sound, with my body entwined in his. He presses his lips to mine and all the gladers cheer but I barely hear them. "About time that shank asked her out!" Minho yells and Gally smiles a real smile which is a oddity for him.
"I know, but good things take time" He says and I fall for him again.
