The Maze Runner Preferences (EDITING)

Thomas
It was your first day in the Glade and you followed Thomas everywhere.He'd been the first person you saw after your mind was wiped clean of any memories.You knew a few other boys:Alby,Newt,Frypan,Winston,and Minho.But Thomas seemed like the nicest one and was very understanding.

That night,they held a big bonfire for you:the new Greenie.All the other boys seemed to be having fun and making jokes while they ate dinner.You ate your plate of food slowly with Thomas,sitting on the grass next to the large fire.

"You don't have to sit with me,you know,"you suddenly said.You didn't say much that day,so Thomas looked up at you,a little surprised.

"Why wouldn't I?"He asked.

You shrugged."I know you must want to hang out with some of your other friends."

"You're my friend,"he insisted with a smile.You smiled back.

You heard some boys grouped together,cheering.Interested,you tilted your head to see what was going on.You could see a boy being tossed about by another,larger boy.The bigger one was very tall and broad,and a little scary looking.

"That's Gally,"Thomas informed.He'd noticed you looking at the fight."No one ever beats him in a wrestle.You have to stay in the ring and try to push the other out."

You drew your attention back to Thomas."Sounds hard."

"Maybe you should give it a try."

You jumped as you turned around and looked up,Gally looming over you.You gulped.

"Uh,no thanks,"you said,not looking him in the eye.You stood and started to walk away.

"C'mon,I'll go easy on you,"he pushed.

You stood there,all eyes on you now.The other boys started chanting Greenie.You groaned inwardly."Ok,"you mumbled nervously.The boys cheered as you stepped into the ring with Gally.You were already regreting this.Gally didn't seem like the type to 'go easy',even if you were the only girl.

You knew you weren't going to make the first move,but he already did.He rushed towards you and shoved you no problem out of the ring.You fell on the ground.It hurt, but you got up anyway,holding your arm.You bravely stepped into the ring again,but when Gally moved towards you again,you immediately jumped out.Gally and the other Gladers just laughed.

Thomas approached you."Are you ok?"

"Yeah,"you said,shrugging.

"That was pretty brave,"he mentioned.

"Thanks,"you replied.You tried to hide a smile when he complimented you.It felt nice, especially coming from a cute boy.

Newt
At the bonfire that night,being held for you since you were the new Greenie,you stuck to Newt like glue.Him and Alby were the only two people you trusted so far.But even when Newt gave you the tour of Glade and explained the rules to you,you stayed as silent as a mouse,too shy to say anything.You looked down at the ground mostly.

But,even with you being so shy,Newt would still talk to you and be very kind and inviting.He talked and you listened while you both ate.You took little food,not being very hungry.

"So I've told you about the Glade,the maze,the Gladers jobs....I think that's it,"he said smiling at you.You smiled slightly back,then looked back down again.

"What job will I have?"You spoke for the first time.Your voice was unexpectedly soft and light.Your words were barely a squeak.

Newt looked at you,surprised."Oh so you do talk,"he joked.You giggled a little,then he proceeded to answer your question."That depends what you're good at.To be honest I don't think you'd make much of a Runner,Slicer,or Builder."
