Thomas smirked as he watched Newt fidget with his chess pieces, eyes darting back and forth like the whole world revolved around that board. It was funny-how this nerdy Brit could be so obsessed with something so boring. Yet, somehow, Thomas couldn't help but find it oddly endearing.

Instead, he threw himself onto his bed with a sigh. "How many times are you gonna play the same game?" His tone was teasing, but lately, something was changing between them. The tension wasn't just friction. It was sharper now. 

Newt didn't look up. "Some of us are here to study, not waste time at parties."

There it was-Newt's holier-than-thou tone. It used to piss Thomas off. Now, though, he just wanted to get under Newt's skin. He grinned. "You sound jealous."

Newt glanced up, eyes narrowing. "Of you? Hardly."

Thomas laughed, but it came out more forced than he intended. "Sure, whatever you say." He stood up, restless. Whenever Newt gave him that sharp look, something in Thomas felt like it was unraveling.

Then there was McKenna.

She'd made it clear for months she wanted Thomas-flirting, always looking at Newt like he was something stuck to her shoe. She didn't like how close Thomas and Newt had gotten, though *close* wasn't the right word for it. She was waiting for a slip, and Thomas knew it.

Later that night, after another round of tense silence, Thomas found himself staring at Newt's back. Newt was curled up, reading by his lamp. He looked soft, relaxed. Vulnerable. And that was when Thomas realized-he wanted to kiss him. 

What the hell was he thinking?

Scream: A Newtmas Murder Mystery by DarkPhoenix-223
21 parts Complete Mature
[EDIT] THE STORY IS UNDERGOING SOME REVISIONS SO THAT IT WON'T BE CRINGEY. I wrote this three years ago, so cut me some slack people. [EDIT 2] THE STORY HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REVISED. I edited a lot. Entire chapters are changed, the dilemma, the songs, the interactions, and even the deaths have all been made, in my mind, better. I really wanted to make this a thriller, but I also wanted mature elements in here, and I definitely didn't want you guys to read anything cringey. So, this is the final director's cut of my novel. I sincerely hope you enjoy and appreciate my revisions. Thanks so much. [EDIT 3] Okay I'm still not satisfied I need to keep updating the parts so sorry everyone lmao The inhabitants of Mazeboro, CA have never seen too much trouble, especially not a string of murders that begin to happen all over town. Newton and his friends are shocked and horrified as two of their friends are among the first to be murdered. And in the midst of this disorder, newcomer Thomas Greene brings a breath of fresh air to the students at Mazeboro High. He plays lacrosse, has a kind disposition, and is quite attractive. He catches Newt's attention, and the two form a strong friendship, despite the murders hitting closer and closer to home. Newt and Thomas, along with their friends, must band together and act as one. But, as less and less people remain, fingers are pointed and distrust ensues. Paranoia settles in. Newt must determine who is guilty and who is not, before every single person is dead. A classic Murder Mystery tale, with romance, drama, and plot twists.

* disclaimer : this is a The Maze Runner fanfiction. The Maze Runner belongs to James Dashner* "Welcome to Wonderland greenie" The sandy blonde says. "I'm Newt. Second in command around here. Can't trust these shanks to run things on their own now." Newt flashed her a grin. She was captivated by his gorgeous smile and beautiful face. He had sandy blonde hair and mocha coloured eyes - the kind you could easily get lost in. She suddenly felt very self conscious, being dressed in trashed jeans and a baggy top. Not to mention that her brown locks were dirty and tangled. "Why does everyone keep calling me that!" She asked, feeling a little frustrated. "Cos you're the Greenbean- the newbie. " Newt states, as if it was the simplest thing in this place to understand. She looked oddly at him. "So. where am I?" She asked, a million questions flooding her mind. "Allow me- " The sandy blonde begins, smiling widely at her. Cue the butterflies.
