Thomas POV
There was so much commotion outside, but by stupid pin was locked. I saw chuck and called for him to unlock it, but Gally grabbed his wrist and pulled him to the box with him. Bitch. After about 20 minutes, Chuck ran over and began unlocking the "gate". "So Greenie, we have a surprise for you," He paused looking annoyed, "I don't know if you'll like it though." I climbed out of the pin nearly falling and snapping my neck. As I got out, all of the Gladers looked at me as if I had just shot someone. I began walking over to the box and out of nowhere, Gally pushed me to the ground and gave me a death glare. "What the hell man!" I hadn't even done a single damn thing and he was already coming after me, "How do you know her, huh?!" "What are you talking about dude, what 'her'?" I stood up wiping the dust from my clothes. He grabbed my shoulder and yanked me to one of the huts. As I walked in, everybody stepped back revealing a figure lying on the bed, a female.
She had dark brown hair that went down to her waist, freckles and a small stature. Her eyes were closed and she was lying down curled up into a ball on the bed. "She woke up, said your name, and passed back out before we could say anything to her" I mumbled Teresa under my breath before I almost got punched in the face by Gally. "What?" Alby said looking down at the ground. I looked up and everybody looked up at me with curious eyes, "H-her name is T-Teresa, I think. I remember her whe…" They don't know about the training. They don't remember a thing about it. Gally was glaring at me with eyes that said: I will chop your fucking head off if you keep talking. I shook my head and walked back to the pin. No matter how much Gally tried to stop me, I just kept walking and pushing him away. I drop into my pin and Chuck comes over to lock it. Gally kicked dirt at me and walked away being the asshole that he usually is.
After about an hour of talking to Chuck, twiddling my thumbs and building people out of pebbles, I decided to try to go to sleep. I lay there on the scratchy 'pillows' and think about Teresa. After a while, I hear soft mumbling outside. I stand up and walk over to the gate, and I see someone standing out in the middle of the field looking around. I take one of the larger rocks and bang at the metal closing structure until it bends open slightly. I slowly creek the gate open and climb out, looking to make sure nobody sees me. As I get closer, I see that it's Teresa. She has her arms wrapped around her small waist, and the moonlight reflects off of her pale skin. She is looking up at the stars mumbling and shivering. I step forward and she jerks her head around and backs away frightened. Does she not remember me?
"D-don't ask me-me any q-questions. I know m-my name, I k-now where I am." I walk forward and she takes a step back. "Teresa, it's me…Thomas? I heard you said my name earlier" I could see her muscles relaxing and she looks at me before stepping forward. "Thomas? Is that…Is that really you?" I nod and smile and she walks up and hugs me, I'm shocked at first but then I hug her back. We stand there for a moment. I feel two tears on my shirt and pull back to see Teresa burying her face in her hands. "What happened? Did I do something" She looks up at me with so much fear in her blue eyes. "I'm so scared Thomas, I don't wanna be here." I walk forward and wipe them away with my thumb. She smiles shyly and I wrap her whole body in my arms. She tenses up and I pull away only to be tackled by Gally.
"What the hell are you doing out here greenie, how'd you get out of your pin" He puts his hand around my neck and continues to shout. "Get off of him…please!" Teresa cries. She has tears streaming down her face, and she begins to get fuzzy. I see her go to grab Gally's arm, and when she does, he pushes her back knocking her over almost making her hit her head. That's when something snaps. I punch Gally hard in the face and begin to yell back at him, "That's none of your damn business shank! Don't you ever touch her again!" I help Teresa up and she wipes away the tears. Gally stands up wiping blood from his nose. He pushes me out of the way and takes Teresa back to the hut and locks the door. "Get back to the pin, now" He says with no emotion in his voice. I walk back to the pin and think about Teresa the entire time.
