3rd Person POV

Mae rummaged through her only dresser. It wasn't very big, not that it needed to be. She only had a few clothes so it didn't matter. But what she hid in there did matter.

Her first real night at the Glade, Mae had hidden the ring she came up with under a pair of jeans in the far corner.

She didn't want anyone to know she had it. She couldn't trust anyone then. Mae was debating whether or not she could trust her friends with the knowledge of it now.

She found what she was looking for and cradled the ring in her hand. The silver object shined in the little amount of light that the moon provided.

True Love Waits

Why did she have this ring? Who gave it to her?

Mae felt terrible. She had begun to develop feelings for Newt whenever there is a person out there that she loved first.

Maybe, just maybe that person was Newt. But she'll never know. The Creators had taken away all of her memories. How would she ever truly know who the ring was from?

She felt almost queasy as she hid the ring back in its secret spot. Rubbing her head, Mae sat back down on her bed.

She was unbelievably stressed. And why? Because of a stupid ring she can't remember even getting!

"You alright?"

Mae jumped at the sudden noise, looking up to see Newt standing in her doorway.

Y-yeah. I'm good. She moved a strand of hair out of her eyes. How long have you been standing there?

"I only just got here." Newt answered. "You sure you're alright?"

Mae nodded, plastering a fake smile on her face. Yes.

Newt studied her for a moment. "You seem tired. You should probably go to bed."

She agreed with him. Her eyes were heavy and her mind began to fog.

Newt?

"Yes Mae?"

She really wanted to ask him to stay with her. Just this once. She didn't feel like being alone. Her heart was begging that she asked him, but her mind was telling her not to. She didn't feel like fighting with herself.

So, she ignored her heart.

Goodnight.

He smiled. "Goodnight Mae."

Mae laid in her bed the next afternoon, her face smashed into the pillow. She was going crazy. Frypan told her to take the day off after someone dropped a bunch of plates on her back when they rammed into her.

Her back ached terribly and she felt like a baby. She pretty much is the baby in the Glade. If she gets hurt, even if it's a simple paper cut, she's told to go to the med-jacks.

She groaned. She felt useless. She wasn't helping and she felt like she was breaking the first rule: do your part.

She heard a knock on her doorframe. Struggling to sit up, Mae shifted her sight over to see the greenie.

She gave him a smile as she finished sitting up. She waved him inside and patted the bed, offering him a place to sit next to her.

The greenie gave her a shy smile before sitting down next to her.

He didn't say anything for a few moments. "I don't know why I'm here to be honest. I guess I still feel bad about hurting you."

Mae put her hand on his shoulder. "Don't stress over it."

The greenie seemed to be able read her lips pretty well. She didn't have to repeat what she said like she normally did. He was a fast learner. That's a good quality to have here in the Glade.

He nodded. "You're right. But this place is sort of driving me nuts and I've only been here for a few days. You're boyfriend, Newt has been here for what? Two years, yeah?"

Mae blushed. "Newt is not my boyfriend."

The greenie looked at her in surprise. "Really? But I see you two with each other all the time."

"That doesn't mean we are dating." Mae tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Oh. You two just have that couple feel than." He gave her a knowing smile. "But you like him, don't you?"

Her face became even redder. "What? Of course not!"

He laughed. "Whatever you say, Mae."

"And I say that I don't like him." Mae licked her dry lips.

He nodded. "I should probably go. I still got a lot of jobs to try out for. But, um, this is really sudden, but I remembered that my name is Will."

Mae clapped her hands together and pulled him into a hug. Will stumbled slightly but was able to keep himself upright. He hugged her back, placing his hands carefully on her back to avoid harming her more.

"I'm so happy for you, Will." She mouthed to him.

Will smiled and nodded. "Thanks."

Newt was having a pretty terrible day. He forgot his lunch and had to run on an empty stomach because he dropped his breakfast on the ground that morning.

He had a close call with a griever that was roaming the maze and barely got back to the Glade into before the doors shut.

Over all, Newt was feeling pretty crappy. A lot of things seemed to be setting him off. If someone looked at him, he gave them a death stare. If someone tried to talk to him, he walked away.

Are you alright, Newt? Mae asked him when he barely got out of the maze in time.

Newt simply ignored her, acting as if he didn't see the hurt look in her eyes as he walked away.

"What's going on with you and the greenie?" Newt asked later that night as they ate dinner. She had just come back from talking to the greenie, who she hugged before leaving.

Newt felt a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach just watching them talk.

You've been ignoring me all day and that's all you have to say to me? Mae asked him in disbelief.

"Just answer the question, Mae." Newt said, his voice sounding snappy.

Nothing. He's a sweet kid, Newt. Smart too. He remembered his name today while we were talking in my room-

"He was in your room?!" Newt asked, his voice raising. "Why was he in your room?!"

They began to receive glances from other Gladers as Newt yelled at her.

Let's talk about it somewhere else, Newt, okay? Mae gave the people around her a nervous smile before dragging Newt farther away from everyone. Once they were a good distance away from everyone, Newt stopped.

"Why was he in your room?" Newt asked, his face turning red with anger.

You're overreacting, Newt, calm down.

"Don't tell me to calm down, Mae!" Newt shouted at her slightly. "Why don't you just answer the question?!"

Mae glared at him. He came to apologize-

"I thought he already said sorry for what happened." Newt stated. "Stop lying to me! I swear, I feel like that's all you ever tell me! Lies!"

Mae had tears in her eyes and her face began to grow red with anger. Really? You think that's all I ever tell you?

He ignored what she said by asking, "Is something going on between the two of you?!"

The brunette looked at him with disgust. He's two years younger than me, Newt! Why would there be anything going on between us? And even if there was, and there isn't, it wouldn't be any of your business!

Newt's eyes softened, realizing what he'd been saying to her. "Mae-"

No, don't talk to me until you know you can trust me. Mae sneered at him. Because apparently I can't talk to you without lying.

Newt ran a hand through his hair in frustration as he watched her walk away.

What the hell did he just do?
