Welcome to my first story. Its not going to be the best, i know, but i still hope its good. I'm going to give you some background knowledge before you start reading.

So basically this story is about the characters from " The Maze Runner" series. ( Note: i don't own any of the Maze Runner characters, that's all James Dashner. Its based on high school life. They are about to go back to school and begin a new year. But something bad happened between everyone on New Years eve at Brenda's New Years eve party. The story begins with the aftermath. And later on in the story, you will learn what happened that night. Anyway now that you know, enjoy!

Chapter One

Thomas tried his best to get out of bed, but as always, he failed. It was Monday morning meaning the dreadful back to school day. He wanted nothing more than to stay home and do nothing, but winter break is over. A lot happened on New Years and now he has to deal with it. He didn't know how today would go but as long as it went by fast, he would be fine.

Thomas ate his cheerios in silence as his mom got ready for work. He checked his watch. 7:22. He usually carpooled with Newt and Minho but he didn't know if they would speak to him, let alone give him a ride. He pulled out his phone and started to text a friend who he hoped would give him a ride.

Thomas: Hey

Teresa: Hey

Teresa was Thomas's best friend. He knew her his whole life. Their moms were working together and were best friends before him and Teresa was born. They became really close to each other and were together their whole lives. Thomas actually liked her a little but he kept in on a friend level. Unlike with the others, they were on good terms, but things did happen between them that night that he just hoped they could forget.

Thomas: How are you getting to school?

Teresa: Well I'm going to drive. Why, do you need a ride?

Thomas: Well since your asking….

Teresa: Okay….. ill be there in 10

Thomas: Thanks ;). You're the best

Teresa lived only a couple minutes away so they hung out a lot and went to school together sometimes. Usually they carpooled with Newt and Minho but it probably wasn't going to happen anytime soon. He knew that today he needed to fix that.

Teresa honked her car and Thomas got up. "Bye Mom" He said. "Bye honey, have a good day at school" his mom said. He nodded and ran outside. "Hi Teresa!" his mom waved and Teresa waved back. Thomas got in the car and sat next to her and then she drove off. She looked nice. Her black hair was let down, like always, she was wearing a black leather jacket, blue jeans, and combat boots. She wasn't a girly girl and that's probably why she and the guys are so close. "Morning" she said. "Morning to you too" he smiled and she smiled back. "So….are you ready to go back?" she asked. "Not really, kind of wish I could stay at home" he said . She laughed "Yeah, same here" . He didn't know what else to say. "That night" is the only thing that they could talk about at this point, but he didn't want to bring it up. It was a bad night. "So, have you talked to Minho, Newt or anybody" he asked." I text Newt but he rarely responds, as for anyone else, only the usual people. How about you?" she gave him a quick look. "No, just you" he said. He looked down and felt so sad and angry. Teresa noticed this and put her free hand on his. "Thomas, I know it's hard, but it was a…. really bad night. Today is everyone's chance to make it up to one another. You'll be okay". He grabbed her hand and smiled. She always knew how to make him happy. That night was bad and today he could make amends with everyone.

Well that was Chapter One! I hoped you enjoyed it and it made you suspenseful. I know its short but its just the beginning. Review and tell me what you think. More chapters coming soon. Bye! :)
