THE NEXT DAY
i'm still pissed from yesterday's commotion. I never thought minho would do me like that. i'm gonna talk to minho today, hopefully my emotions wont take over.
I guess we'll see.
YOUR POV
truth or dare yesterday was fun. I mean apart from the minho kiss, that was just weird. never thought I would be kissing my bestie but, it was just a laugh. i'm still annoyed about not finding anything, about the maze I mean. it keeps buggin' me!
it's now morning and i'm going to get some breakfast. that was until I heard a voice behind me.
"y/n!" the voice shouted as I turned around to see the mystery person. I turned around and saw a certain brown haired-boy skipping to me. chuck.
"hey buddy!" I said, giving him a little cuddle and kneeling slightly to his height. which was not very far.
"hey y/n!" chuck said, jolly as ever.
"what's up?" I asked him.
"just wanted to go get breakfast with you," he said, with a cute smile.
"of course buddy," I replied back.
"race ya!" he said back, starting to run.
"oh you're on!" I shouted behind him. we were both near the kitchen, I wanted chuck to win, so I let him.
"ah ha! I won!" chuck said, placing his hands to his knees in complete exhaustion.
"yes, you did! well done!" I said, proud of my matureness. kinda. it was silly to race, yet it was so fun, I don't really care.
"you go sit down, i'll get you some food," I said, placing my hands on his shoulders and turning him around to sit at a table. he walked towards a table with minho and thomas.
I got the two plates and walked towards the table with the three boys already talking. as soon as the boys saw me, they smiled and began talking again.
"here you go bud," I said, putting chuck's plate in front of him.
"thanks y/n!" chuck said, already digging into his food. I chuckled at his fast actions and began eating too.
"so, when do you wanna start running?" minho asked thomas.
"um, well how about-" thomas began talking when newt came and sat beside thomas.
"hey guys," newt said, smiling at everyone at the table, and looking directly at me. but I didn't return the look. not one bit.
"hey man!" minho said, smiling at newt's presence.
"what are we talking about?" newt asked. this is my chance. this is my chance to piss newt off.
"we were just talking about-" minho began talking when I cut him off.
"talking about when me, tommy and minho are gonna run the maze today," I said, with sass. newt looked at me with a scared face and disbelief.
"what!" newt shouted, which drew attention to some of the other gladers around us.
"you heard me," i said, looking in newt's eyes and turned back to minho and thomas.
"so. when?" I asked the two boys.
"um..." they both said, not knowing what to do in this awkward situation.
"now? great!" i said, not bothering with the answer and stood up with my plate in hand.
"i will meet you two shanks in the hut to pack up some things," i said and began walking away from the remaining four boys at the table with different faces.
thomas with shock
minho with disbelief
chuck with lovingness for his food
and newt with worry
TIME SKIP TO LATER IN THE DAY
nothing new. I don't really know if there is anything in the maze anymore. but I am not giving up. it's nearly time for the bonfire. I don't really know why we have these almost every night, but they're fun. I guess. I just don't really wanna kiss my best friend again. I can see from a distance from my hut that nearly every glader is helping with setting up for the bonfire tonight. I would help, yet i'm exhausted from running today, i'm just gonna take a nap.
TIME SKIP TO BONFIRE
I woke up from someone shaking me awake.
"get up you lazy shank!" a voice shouted in my ear. I groaned and flustered my eyes open to see minho.
"ugh!" I shouted and threw a pillow at him.
"ugh! rude!" he dramatically said, smacking his hand to his chest and lifting his chin up, sassily.
"get up y/n! its time for the bonfire!" minho said, pulling my covers over my legs and chucking it on the floor.
"really dude? they're gonna be all dirty now!" I said, getting up.
"ah ha! knew that would get ya up," he said, proud of himself. I gave him a death stare, trying to be intimidating. which didn't work.
"quit it miss dramatic and get your lazy ass to the bonfire! i'll see you there bestie!" he said, running off.
"whatever," I mumbled under my breath, hoping he didn't hear.
"heard that!" minho echoed from afar. I slightly chuckled and began to get ready for the bonfire.
I walked out of my hut and saw everyone dancing, playing music from wood bongos and having a good time. this made me smile. seeing all of the glader's smile. I never knew they could have a good time being trapped in these walls for years on end. anyway, I walked towards thomas and newt sitting on a log facing the bonfire, like always. thomas staring at the events and newt taking sips of his drink.
I don't know why I'm going over to newt, I mean I'm still pissed off at him, yet I do miss his company. just a little. "hey guys" I said, sitting next to thomas. newt looked shocked to see me here and thomas looked happy to see me in his presence.
"hey y/n," thomas said, now facing me. newt was now looking at me too. I gave a slight smile at him, which he returned.
"how are you doing?" thomas asked me.
"i'm fine," I replied.
"how about you bro? how are you doing?" I asked him" thomas sighed and looked down.
"the maze. it's annoying me. we can't seem to find anything in there y/n," thomas said, ashamed.
"we will find something bro, I can feel it," I said, punching his shoulder, which made him chuckle.
"now, i'm gonna go get a drink boys. don't miss me too much," I said, leaving the two boys smiling
TIME SKIP THIRTEE MINUTES
I am now sitting bedside minho talking about random stuff we could think of. like:
what's our favourite color
what's our favourite animal
that sort of stuff. now I know minho's favourite colour is green and he knows mine is f/c (your favourite colour) after we talked about general stuff, minho made the stupidest joke ever. this made me and minho both burst out laughing in unison.
NEWTS POV
I saw them. laughing with each other. at the same time! I couldn't keep my eyes off the both of them. I could feel my blood boiling up inside me. I tried my hardest to keep it in. biting my lip. biting my fingernails. drinking big gulps of my moonshine that gally made.
"jealous there?" thomas asked from beside me. that snapped me out of my thoughts.
"what?" I asked, confused as to what was happening.
"I can see you starting at minho and y/n, it's so obvious you like her dude," thomas said, giving me a slight smirk. this made my eyes go wide.
"WHAT!" I shouted, trying to convince tommy that what he was saying was a lie.
"no I don't!" I shouted.
"yes you do, you literally told me man," tommy said, looking directly at me.
"oh yeah," I muttered at him.
"I know you like her, but the rest don't," he said to me with an even bigger smirk.
"I forgot!" I said to him.
"oh shuck! look ahead of you," tommy said to me, nodding his head in front of me. that was when I saw it.
I saw minho's arm around y/n's shoulder, laughing in unison. AGAIN. I couldn't take it. I felt betrayed by minho at what he was doing. I threw my drink to the side and shot up. tommy looked up at me in confusion. I didn't care. I wanted to do this for a long ass time.
I limped towards minho and y/n, clenching my fists, digging my nails into my palms, In each hand.
"hey!" I shouted at them, mostly minho. he quickly took his arm away from y/n's shoulder, pretending nothing happened.
"oh, hey man!" minho said, awkwardly smiling.
"you know what you're doing!" i shouted at him.
"wh-what do you mean?" he stuttered, looking kinda scared. that was the reaction I was hoping for.
"don't act all innocent minho, you know exactly what i'm talking about," I said. I thought my eyes would turn read from my anger.
"look-" minho began, a little bit of plead, beg and protesting.
that was until I brought my fist up and punched him right in the face.
gasps escaped from all of the gladers mouths. In the corner of my eye, I could see y/n looking at me with pure shock. I could almost see a scared face. I couldn't bare seeing y/n like that. I never wanted her to feel scared. especially of me. so I left.
THE NEXT DAY
YOUR POV
I woke up from the sun blaring in my eyes. with a groan, I began to sit up on the side of my hammock. my eyes widened from the realisation of the event that took place at the bonfire last night.
'why did newt punch minho? what did he mean by he knew what he was doing? why was newt so angry? why did newt look like her was gonna kill minho?' those of questions flooded my head. the only way I could get those answers is if I talk to newt. yet, yesterday he kinda scared me. let's just hope he doesn't get angry when he sees me.
I was walking around the glade, trying to find newt. I couldn't find him anywhere. but there was one place I haven't checked. the treehouse. so that was there I was checking.
I was at the bottom of the treehouse, where I could see some dirty blonde hair blowing in the cold air. there we go. found him.
I was climbing up the platform, praying in my head that he wasn't angry. I finally got to the top. now that I actually made it to the top, I was debating whether or not to go.
'come on, newt HAS to give me answers' I thought in my head.
I nodded and opened the trap door of the opening to the top. he flinched a bit when he saw the door open, but then softened when he saw a bit of h/c hair.
"hey..." I said to him, hoping and hoping he was calm.
"oh hey..." he replied, gazing at me, then looking back at the maze. I was relieved that he wasn't mad.
"how are you doing?" I asked, sitting beside him.
"i'm... alright, I guess" he said, looking down.
"so... do you wanna explain what the hell you did yesterday?" I said, desperate for the answer. he didn't say anything. this made me mad a bit. all I wanted was an answer!
"well!?" I shouted a bit.
"i'm sorry, okay!" newt screeched at me, turning to look at me. this made me flinch slightly. I've never seen newt like this.
"just tell me why you did it," i said, softening my tone, trying my best to get the answers I want. I need. he didn't say anything. i wanted to scream. yet i was a bit concerned as to why newt wasn't saying anything. but mostly mad.
"i swear to god newt if you don't speak up, I will be so mad at you!" i shouted at him. he wasn't even looking at me. i felt betrayed. like I was just stabbed in the back.
"fine..."i muttered and started to get up to leave.
"y/n-" newt began to speak. he stood up and slowly walked towards me.
"NO! you don't get to speak to me newt! I came to you at the bonfire, I talked to you now. I ACTUALLY SPOKE TO YOU!" i shouted. newt looked ashamed at himself. good.
"so don't you dare try to talk to me now after everything you've done," i said to him, starting to lift the trap door. i looked at him once more.
"don't even think about talking to me. you've actually been doing a pretty good job at that," i said and walked down. i heard him quietly scream which made a tear drop to my cheek.
i don't know what his intentions are, but i do know that i don't like this side of newt.
TIME SKIP, TWO HOURS LATER
I still cant believe newt. I don't wanna talk to him. I thought he cared for my feelings. clearly not. i have been sitting in my hut, lying down of my hammock, thinking. thinking about what to do next. the maze I mean, not newt. I don't wanna think about newt, I wanna focus on the hole, the maze and escaping. they're far more important right now.
'what haven't we done? what haven't we explored? THE DEVICE!' I thought. maybe we haven't examined it enough.
I walking towards the meeting hut, maybe they left it there? I walked in and, thankfully, a certain blonde-haired boy wasn't there. phew.
"ah ha!" I said, seeing the device on a wooden shelf. I walked over there and picked it up.
'hmm, what haven't we checked?' i thought, twisting and turning the device around and around to see if there's anything we have never seen before.
that was until I saw something different. something that wasn't here before.
"what the hell?" i said, quietly, to myself.
it was a note.
y/n
go to section seven through the hole tonight. alone. don't worry, there will be no danger. if you don't, there will be severe consequences.
~unknown
