The Glade 3
Newt felt light headed after he heard her name. Gemma. He had heard her name before. Her name echoed in his head. Gemma. It was kind of like she was whispering her name into his ear. Gemma. Newt stood inside the door way of the hospital, blocking everyone's way inside.
"Newt, man are you going to go inside? "Asked Nick.
"Uh, yeah sorry I was just think," said Newt walking inside the hospital room. He stopped again when he saw her. She had Wes in a headlock and had a machete in the other. Wes looked like he was enjoying the way she had him, he was under her arm. Newt finally saw her eyes, they were brown but had a little spec of green. She looked beautiful, like she never needed make-up to make her pretty. Newt didn't realize that he was staring at her face while the other were probably starring at her chest. Then Newt expected the least expect she looked at him with a curious face. They locked eyes like they knew each other. Everyone saw that they were looking at each other.
"Do you know him?" asked Alby.
"I think," said Gemma. She spoke English fluently, he thought she would at least have an accent, you probably wouldn't know that she was Hispanic but her golden brown skin gave her away.
"Newt, do you know her?" asked Alby. Getting close to Gemma, but Gemma realized and pulled Wes closer to her. Wes didn't seem to be in pain but he was enjoying the moment.
"Come closer and I will kill him and you will be next," threaten Gemma. Newt found that kind of attractive.
"I don't know, I feel like I've seen her before." Said Newt feeling dumb. He really wanted to remember her.
"Let me talk to him alone," said Gemma surprising everyone, especially Newt.
"How do I know that you're not going to try to hurt him," asked Alby.
"She won't, right?" said Newt
"Right," said Gemma. After that everyone left, so did Wes. Wes said that he forgave her and she said that if Wes or Jeff ever touch her again that she will cut off their hands. It was only Newt and Gemma in the room, Gemma even put her machete away.
"So," said Gemma.
"Yeah," said Newt wishing she would talk more.
"Where am I?" asked Gemma like she was going to cry.
"I wish I could answer that, why do you look so familiar?" asked Newt.
"I don't know, why do you look so familiar?" they both laughed at her question.
Newt ended up telling her everything they knew about the Glade, the Maze.
"So were pretty much stuck here until one of the runners find a way out of the maze," said Gemma.
"Yeah that's about it," said Newt.
"What do you do?" asked Gemma.
"Well I'm the keeper of the runners," said Newt.
"If you ever find a way out, you come tell me first, okay?" said Newt.
"How about this because I will get in trouble if I don't tell Alby or Nick, but you will be one of the first I tell, okay?"
"Okay," she said.
"Do you think that guy Alby hates me?" asked Gemma.
"No, he's probably frustrated with you but it's not your fault, you didn't know anything about us or this place," said Newt.
"Well I don't want to be through into the Maze for 'harming a fellow Glader' rule," said Gemma using the air quotations sarcastic.
"Trust me the other Gladers don't want you go," said Newt.
"Why?" asked Gemma.
"Well you're really pretty and you're the only girl here and they all think that they have a chance with you," said Newt. Then Newt saw Gemma blush and he didn't think she could get more beautiful be she did and he swore she looked like a Greek goddess.
"Well thank you, but no they don't have a chance with me," said Gemma, kind of a disappointment for Newt.
"But someone else might," said Gemma. Newt was going to say something but Alby came in.
"Oh good your calmed down a bit," said Alby.
"I'd watch it big boy," said Gemma making Newt laugh, but Alby didn't find it amusing.
"Well I just came in to tell you guys that we are having another gathering" said Alby.
"What for?" asked Newt.
"It's for the girl, where deciding whether we should keep her or put her out in the Maze, "said Alby.
