Remember Me (Maze Runner FanFiction: Newt Love Story)

Chapter 3

I sat in a chair with eleven boys sitting in a semicircle around me. After a while I realized they were the keepers, and that meant Gally was among them.

“So we have all gathered here to talk about why the creators sent the first girl was sent to the Glade,” Newt started but was cut off by Gally who stood up.

“Look, we all know that she has to be working for the creators. Why else would they send a girl?” Gally said.

The room erupted in chaos but was quieted by Newt.

“Gally!! Keep bloody order!! If you’re going to say something every time I speak, you can leave because I’m not in the bloody mood to be pissed off!!” Newt shouted.

I put my hands over my mouth to hide the smile on my face. Gally sat back in his seat and crossed his arms.

“Okay then. We are going to go down the line to hear everyone’s opinion, then we will decide from there.” Newt said. “Frypan you’re first.”

Frypan rubbed his hands together and said, “I think she’s like us. I mean she looked as confused as we were when we came out of the box, so she acted like any other Greenie would. I don’t think she’s a spy.”

“Okay, next is Zart,” Newt said.

Zart shifted in his seat uncomfortably. “I don’t know. She could be a spy working for the creators, but then again she didn’t know where she was or-” He said but was cut off by Gally.

“I know I’m right! Besides there isn’t time to hold a gathering.” Gally said.

I glanced over at Newt who had his head in his hands.

“Gally!! Shut your bloody hole before I make you!!” Newt yelled. “If I hear one more word out of that mouth of yours, I’ll be arranging a banishment for your sorry butt.”

Gally rolled his eyes and slouched back in his seat.

“Winston, you’re up,” Newt said.

“I don’t trust her. I say we lock her up in the slammer until we really know what is going on.” Winston said earning a round of applause from Gally.

“Next,” Newt said.

Two more keepers spoke, one for Frypan’s idea and one for Winston’s. Then it was Newt’s turn.

“I think she is just like us. I don’t believe that she’s a spy,” Newt said.

Relief flooded through me; I wanted to get up and give Newt a hug. A few more keepers spoke. Some agreed that I should be put in the slammer, and some agreed that I was innocent.

“Okay, Gally,” Newt said rolling his eyes.

“I think I’ve made my opinion pretty clear already.” Gally said.

“Good that,” Newt said. “Minho your-”

“NO!!” Gally yelled making me almost fall out of my chair. “I still want to say something!!”

“Then bloody say it!!” Newt shouted.

“Think about it, a girl shows up here acting all scared and confused, but what if it’s all an act?” Gally said looking straight at me. “We can’t trust her. I say we lock her up in the slammer forever.”

Newt slowly walked over to Gally and stopped right in front of him.

“Get out.” Newt said calmly.

“What?” Gally asked.

“I said get out!!!” Newt yelled pointing at the door.

“Fine, but I still think we can’t trust her.” Gally said before leaving.

Newt sighed and sat back down. “Last but not least, Minho, you’re up.” Newt said.

“I agree with Frypan,” Minho said.

“Let’s vote,” Alby said. “Those in favor of putting Riana in the slammer raise their hand.”

Winston hesitantly raised his hand, but put it back down when he realized he was the only one who had agreed to put me in the slammer.

“That settles it. Riana is innocent and is free to do what she wants to do just like the rest of us. The gathering is over.” Alby said.

I got up and headed out the door and walked over to a tree and sat down. Out of the corner I saw Newt walking towards me with two sandwiches in his hands. He sat down next to me and handed one of them to me.

“Thanks,” I said. “And thanks again for defending me at the gathering.”

“You don’t look like a spy to me” Newt said. “I was only speaking the truth.”

After we had finished our sandwiches, Newt and I talked until drowsiness took over and I fell asleep.
