Minho's POV:
I slow down as I cross through the entry and into the Glade. I inhale deeply while I bend over slightly from exhaustion.
"DIANA GIVE WINSTON BACK THE PIG NOW!" Gally's angry voice shouts.
"But he said I could keep it!"
I let curiosity get the better of me and I jog to the circle of amused Gladers as they watch the siblings argue.
"You can't just keep the pig," Gally states, "How are you going to feed him? Where are you going to keep him?"
Frypan answers before Diana can. "I can give him scraps from the kitchen."
Diana gives him a beautiful smile that takes my breath away. It also sparks jealousy, Frypan doesn't deserve that smile.
"See, one problem solved."
"And what about the other?"
She ponders this with an adorable expression before replying, "Eugene can just stay in my room."
Eugene? She named the pig Eugene?! Out of all things she could choose from.
Clearly Gally was having the same thoughts. "Eugene?! You gave the pig a name?!
"Obviously," she responds, rolling her eyes, "I couldn't just be like 'hey, pig, get over here'. Then they wouldn't know if I was talking to Eugene or you."
The sends the crowd into laughter, except Gally who lets out a huff and crosses his arms over his chest. "That isn't helping your case."
Diana just gives him a closed eye smile before picking up Eugene and walking away.
"This conversation isn't over!"
She just waves her hand and continues her path to wherever she's going.
Newt's POV:
"Where'd she go?" Alby mutters, a twig snapping under his foot as we search for are lost girl.
We've got the whole Glade searching for her, but we have yet to actually find her.
Where could she have gone? Gally was for sure that she'd never go into the maze and the Glade isn't that big.
"I know you guys like Diana," Gally announces, not bothering to look at them.
Minho, Alby, and I freeze. Was it really that obvious? Wait, they like her too?!
"I don't really care if you shanks see her, as long as she cares about you back," Gally continues, ignoring our expressions, "She's not here, I'm going to go check elsewhere."
Gally turns and begins to walk away, leaving us to stare at his green shirt clad back. "Also, if you break her heart, well, you'll wish you were in the maze for a night instead, Diana was always one to support an eye for an eye."
Eye for an eye? So Diana believes if we hurt her, she gets to hurt us back. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
"Well that was interesting," Minho states, trying to lighten the mood but ultimately failing.
I turn to Alby. "You like her."
Alby shifts his weight to his heels. "Possibly."
I open my mouth to reply, but I'm cut off by angelic laughter.
We begin to walk quickly, following the ringing until we come to the kitchen. Alby opens the door and we see our lost shankette sitting on the counter with Frypan's face centimeters from hers.
A/N:
My apologies about the short chapter and the cliffhanger, but I promise a longer chapter and some Newt and Diana moments next week, I might even throw in some Alby and Diana. Comment who you want Diana to end up with out of Thomas, Newt, Minho, Alby, and Frypan.
