The Glade 4
"Alby you're being ridiculous, why would you throw her in the Maze by herself." Said Newt getting mad at Alby.
"She hurt a fellow Glader, that's against the rules," said Alby.
"Oh, bloody please, it's not like Wes didn't enjoy it," said Newt.
"Well discuss this in council hall," said Alby.
"Are they really going to throw me into the Maze? Because if they are I rather get killed, here take my knife and slice my throat open," said Gemma passing Newt her machete.
"No I will not bloody kill you, but one vote can change everything so don't worry I won't let them take you to the Maze to die, if you go then I'll come with you." Said Newt, making his way to the council hall.
"Why are you protecting me? I'm not complaining, but I want to know why?" asked Gemma.
"I saw you in the box and I saw your face… and I think we should get going," said Newt.
"No, please tell me," asked Gemma. Newt was sure that he was not going to tell Gemma that he liked her so he told her a lie.
"I saw your face and you looked hopeless and I know how it feels to be hopeless," said Newt and they stared walk to council hall together.
"Why in the bloody earth would you want to throw her in the Maze by herself?" asked Newt.
"Newt, what you don't understand is that she could hurt us all," said Alby.
"Oh bloody please Alby, do you really think she would kill us all and live here by herself? That the most ridiculous thing I have ever bloody heard." Said Newt.
"Fine will take a vote, if you want the girl to stay go to Newt's side and if you want to girl to leave come on my side only keepers can vote in this Gathering," said Alby. There was only one boy on Alby's side and of course the boy was Gally. Gally was always on Alby's side, it was kind of like Alby was the teacher and Gally was the teacher's pet. On Newt's side was Frypan, Ben, Newt, Jeff, and Nick. It was obvious that the boys didn't want the girl to leave. Newt ended up winning and Alby called him to the side to talk.
"Newt, you know the reason why I had to do that right?" asked Alby.
"No, I really don't know why you wanted to have a gathering based on what she did, if I was her I would have took Jeff in my other arm," said Newt.
"I don't want her to go either but if I didn't have a gathering then it would look like every Shank could do anything they want and we both know that can't be happing around here." Said Alby.
"I understand but you shouldn't be telling this to me, go tell Gemma what your telling me," Newt said pointing at her, she was just sitting by herself while the Gladers tried to work up confidence to go ask her out.
"Okay, I'll go talk to her but if she tries to stab me she goes into the Maze," said Alby getting up to go talk to Gemma. Newt didn't know how to place Gemma into his life, was she his friend or something more? Did Newt want her to be something more? Did Gemma want Newt something more than a friend? Newt didn't know, all he knew was that he needed to take a shower, so he walked out to the bathroom.
Gemma's point of view
She saw Newt walk out of the gathering room, she didn't know if she should follow him or stay here. She decide to stay at the gathering room until someone told her to leave. Then she saw her worst enemy coming towards her.
"Newt said that I should tell you this instead of me telling him," said Alby taking a seat next to me.
"What did you tell Newt?" asked Gemma.
"I told him that I didn't want you to go to the Maze by yourself," said Alby.
"Then why did you have a gathering? You obviously wanted me gone." Said Gemma.
"Well I had to take action and I can't let people think that they can do whatever they want. That's not it works here." Said Alby.
"Well I'm sorry I didn't react normal but if you didn't know I woke up with two boys looking over me and probably wondering how I look with my clothes off," said Gemma getting mad at the memory.
"Well the boys don't know much about girls-"
"Yeah but it doesn't mean they can look at my body, Alby. Believe it or not but I have feeling." Said Gemma
"Okay I'm sorry but I had to take action," said Alby.
"Okay I understand but if Jeff or Wes come near me I will cut their hands off and I don't care if you guys have to throw me into the Maze for that," said Gemma.
"Good that, I'll inform them," said Alby
"Thank you,"
"You should get some sleep," said Alby.
"I don't know where to go," said Gemma.
"I'll take you to the bathroom so you can take a shower and Newt will take you to your room," said Alby.
"I thought everyone slept outside?" asked Gemma.
"You have the option, but for you I think it's better if you sleep inside a room," said Alby.
"Yeah that sounds good." Alby. Gemma went to go take a shower and got new clothes that were a little big but fit fine, when she got outside Newt was waiting next to the door.
"Hi," she said.
"Hi," said Newt.
"…"
"Did you have a good shower?" asked Newt. In his mind he was shaming himself.
"Uh, yeah it was good," said Gemma.
"That's good, do you want to go to your room?" asked Newt.
"Yeah, sure," said Gemma as they walked to the inside of the homestead.
