Chapter 1
Newt's POV:
Water pours over my head as I stand in the showers. Myself and the other Gladers had finally escaped from the maze after 3 years, thanks to Tommy. I don't know what we all would have down without him. Probably have been over run by Gally or still just have been stuck in that shucking maze. Over the past few days though, ever since Thomas had come to the maze, I had started to feel different, especially when I was around him but, I don't know what it was. When ever he'd smile, I'd get butterflies in my stomach and whenever he sat next to me, I'd get all fidgety. Whenever I stuffed up when I was around him, I would feel extremely embarrassed. Why was I feeling this way? What were these feelings? I wish Alby were here, he knows everything, well, knew everything. I sigh and turn off the taps and dry myself off and then put some fresh clothes on and head back to the dorm. I walk in and see Thomas talking with Frypan and when he sees me, he smiles and I feel heat running to my cheeks. What the heck is wrong with you Newt? I simply smile back and go to the bunk I had claimed which was across from Thomas' and sit down on it.
"You alright Newt?" Minho asks me as he sits beside me.
"What? Yeah I'm fine"
He then gives me a look.
"What?" I ask
"Somethings troubling you, I can tell by the look in your eyes and how quickly you answered"
I then groan and flop on to the bed, facing the ceiling.
"I don't even know myself Minho. I really don't"
"Describe and maybe I could help"
"I don't know..."
"Newt, you can trust me. We've known each other for who knows how long"
"Alright but can we talk privately?"
"Yeah sure" he says and we go outside.
"What's bothering you?"
"Ever since Thomas arrived at the Glade, I've felt, different" I say, unsure of what Minho would think of me.
"In what way?"
"I don't know... He just always gets to me"
"In an annoying way?"
"No, whenever he smiles or laughs. Stuff like that"
Minho then had a smirk on his face.
"What?"
"You like him"
"Of course I do, he's my friend"
"No Newt, more than that. Your gay, you like guys rather than girls" Minho says and my reaction was confusion.
"What? How can I like Thomas more than a friend? That's just weird and not normal. I'm meant to be second in bloody command, not falling in love with one of my best friends!"
"Newt calm down mate, it's ok. It's perfectly normal and plus, you've been around just guys for three years now. I don't know how the gay stuff works but, you like him and you gotta face it"
I then slide down the wall and cover my face with my hands.
"This is insane"
"You'll get used to it shank. Come on. Try not to worry but one thing. You two would be cute together" he says and I hit him.
"Seriously Minho?"
"What I'm serious" he laughs
"Shut up"
