Antonia's pov/ Y/N pov

After Gally left I walked into the room Thomas was in. "I'm so sorry." I said as I walked up to him, like Gally he also had a black eye, his jaw was bruised, and his cheek was pink, it was definitely going to bruise in a few days." it's not your fault." He replied. "Yes, it is. I let you believe that Gally did something." "You did not. You tried to tell me he didn't, but I didn't listen. I'm sorry." He said. "You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm serious." I told him. "Fine, then you have nothing to be sorry for." He replied. I didn't say anything, so Thomas asked, "What were you guys doing anyway?" I fiddled with my hands awkwardly. How do you tell your overprotective brother that you liked the guy he hates and that you were about to kiss said guy?

"Well...er...you see....Well, I was about to...kiss him?" I said quietly. "Well uhhh I think I'm gonna leave." Said Jeff who was standing by the bed awkwardly. Once we heard the door close, Thomas flipped. "You what!?????" He yelled. "Calm down Thomas. So what? I like the guy! What are you going to do about it?!" I shouted right back at him. "I need fresh air," he said angrily. "No, Thomas. Wait." I called. I ran outside and tried to find him yet he was nowhere in sight. I sighed in frustration before running around the glade trying to find him.

Thomas's POV

I can't believe it. I actually can't believe her. She likes Gally??? What the hell. I storm out of the medhut and I hear her try to call me back but I sprint off towards the trees, my anger powering me on. I climbed a tree and sat there, tearing the bark off to relieve my frustration. I saw Antonia run out of the medhut and start running around looking for me. I didn't say anything or call her. I'm too pissed off with her to care.

I'm still tearing off bark and shredding leaves when I heard a British voice drift up towards me. "You know the tree did nothing to you right Tommy?" I smiled slightly at the nickname before climbing down to come face to face with Newt. I felt my cheeks flush a little,  shuck it why did I always have to blush whenever he talked to me? "Hey, Newt," I replied. He smiled and rolled his eyes, "Well? Why you tearing up the poor tree? What's wrong?" he questioned. "Ugh, everything," I replied dramatically flopping to the floor, yeah I know but I do like to be a little bit of a drama queen here and there. Newt sat down next to me, so close our knees were touching as well as our shoulders, I blushed deeper.

"What's up drama-boy?" He said and chuckled lightly. "Antonia. She likes Gally! Gally for godsake!" I said frustrated. He looked at me and said, "and?". Huh? What did he not get? GALLY FOR GODSAKE. "My sister likes that asshole!" I said pointing t where Gally was building something, who even cares what. Newt chuckled again before telling me to brush it off. "Ugh I can't brush it off Newt. Why don't you get that?" I said my anger creeping into my voice a little to much. "Calm down Thomas. She likes him and? I've never seen Gally care for someone so much in my bloody life! He is even building her a completely new hut. I know Gally will treat her right. If she likes him she likes him. You have to let her take this chance. If he hurts her, trust me I will be right up there punching Gally with you. You have to let her live a little." He said. I hung my head in shame. Have I really messed up the chance for my sister to be with the guy she loves?

"I swear though if he hurts her..." I started. "I know Tommy, I know. Come, you need to carve your name." Newt replied and stood up. I looked at him, confused. "Carve my name?" I asked. He led me over to a section of the maze walls where I saw lots of other names, including Newt's. "Everyone who comes here carves their name, you know to show that they are one of us." He handed me a knife and I took it and walked up to the wall and carved 'Thomas' into the wall, just below Newt's name. I smiled at him and he gave me a hug. "You are one of us now Tommy." I smiled at him and hugged him back. I had a strange feeling in my stomach, like butterflies. Weird I thought. I tried to put it out of my mind, Newt is just being friendly, he will never like you get a grip, Thomas.

Antonia's pov/ Y/N pov

Ugh, I have been running around the glade for ages trying to find Thomas. Where the shuck did he go? I ran around homestead when Minho came up to me. "Hey Antonia, what are you doing out this early?" He asked.  "Long story. Aren't you supposed to be running at this point?" I replied. "Yeah, I was just running a bit late today. Ben's probably waiting for me." He said. I nodded. "Well have a good day running," I told him. "Are you sure you don't need some help, you look stressed?" He said. "Yeah go on, you don't want to be late," I said and smiled at him. He nodded and ran towards the entrance of the maze and stopped to look back at me, worriedly. I gave him a two-finger salute and he ran off into the maze.

Alby came up to me next. "I need you to do something."He said. "What do you need?" I asked. He handed me a knife and I took it but looked at him weirdly. "Follow me." He told me. I did what I was told and we walked up to a piece of maze wall that had names written on it. I saw Thomas on it and knew he had already come. "Your one of us now. Go ahead and show it." He said and gestured towards the stone. I smiled at him before carving Antonia into the wall. Once I was done, I handed Alby back the knife. "I have to go find Thomas now, I'll see you later," I told him before walking away.

"Hey, Antonia." Someone said as they came up to me. I looked to the side to see Newt standing there. "Heya," I replied. "What's wrong Antonia?" Another boy said. I looked to my other side and saw Chuck trying to keep up with my fast pace of walking. I slowed down a bit so he could keep up a bit better. "Nothing." I almost growled. Chuck stopped for a second, shocked at my tone, before walking with us again.

"Sorry, I just can't find Thomas anywhere. We got in a fight this morning. ." I said in a lighter tone. "About what?" Newt's accented voice asked. "Well..." Before I could finish the breakfast bell rang. "You can tell me later, Thomas will be at breakfast. Hopefully..." Newt said, he whispered the last part like he knew something. I frowned before nodding and smiling at him before going back to my frown.

As we got closer to the dining area my breathing started to pick up. Oh god, not this again, please. As soon as I saw Thomas getting his food my breath calmed down a little. "Come on, I'll go with you. Chuck, go ahead and get food." Newt said. Chuck nodded and left. I pushed my way through all the guys until I got to Thomas. I grabbed his arm to turn him around to face me, and said, "Thomas please let me explain." He glared at me, shoved my hand off, and walked away. He was almost at a table before I got to him with Newt following close behind me.

I jumped in front of him. "Please! Just let me explain!" I exclaimed. "Explain what Antonia?! That you're in love with Gally?!" He yelled in my face. Most of the gladers have gathered around in a circle around us by now. "Woah, what?!" Someone yelled. "Not only that! She nearly kissed him!" He yelled out. Newt had a shocked look on his face. "I can't believe you like Gally," Frypan said. "He's the worst guy in the glade!" Thomas yelled again. "He is not! He is more understanding towards me than you are!" I yelled back. Apparently, Thomas had had enough of me, because he shoved me hard and I fell to the ground- caught off guard. It knocked all the breath out of me, and I was coughing and wheezing on the floor trying to regain it.

I got on my knees to try to help me get my breath back easier, but it wasn't helping. Although, my coughing had gone down a bit. "Toni?!" I heard someone shout. Gally pushed easily through the boys and was soon at my side. "Are you ok?" He asked me, worried. I nodded, but my breathing was still heavy and I had a hand over my chest. "Antonia, I'm so sorry." I heard Thomas say. I was trying to speak, but still couldn't. "I'm sorry." He said and walked quickly out of there. "Here," Gally said and helped me to stand up. The heavy breathing had stopped, but my chest still hurt. Newt looked at me with an unreadable expression. It looked sad, confused but also look like he kind of knew what was happening. He walked, well limped, away after Thomas.

I looked back at Gally with tears in my eyes. "Shh, it's okay. Come here." He said and pulled me in for a hug.  I slowly put my arms around him and lightly cried into his chest. "I'm sorry." I told him as I pulled away. All the other boys had already sat down and had started eating. "For what?" He asked confused. "Everything," I said. "You have nothing to be sorry about." He replied and gently grabbed my face with both of his hands before wiping my tears with his thumbs. P put one of my hands on his and leaned into his. "I have to go talk to Thomas," I said. "I can go with you?" He offered. "No, I already feel bad about this morning. I don't want it to happen again." I replied, referring to his black eye. "You sure?" He questioned. I nodded my head and he dropped his hands to his side. "I'll see you later," I told him and stood on my tiptoes to give him a kiss on the cheek before walking off to find Thomas.

I looked around all the tables but couldn't see him anywhere. However, I did find Newt getting his food. "Newt!" I called and jogged up to him. Newt looked at me before looking away just as quickly. "Newt, I know you know where Thomas is. Tell me." I demanded. Newt turned to me."He feels really bad Antonia, but he doesn't want to talk right now, he wants to be by himself." He said looking a bit sad. I was so confused. I quickly grabbed a plate of food and went outside to the tables where I found Gally sitting next to the other builders. "Hey," I said as I sat next to him. "Hey, you get things sorted with Thomas?" He asked. "No, I couldn't find him, and Newt wouldn't tell me where he was," I replied. Gally nodded and apologized. "It's fine. I'll just talk to him later." I replied and gave him a small smile. He nodded and we ate the rest of our food in silence.

The other builders tried to talk to me, but I would just nod my head. I was almost finished eating when a boy even had the nerve to come and sling his arm around my shoulder. Gally glared at him whilst I shrugged his arm off. "Ah, come on, don't be like that." He said. I turned to face him, smiled right in his face then punched him, hard where the sun doesn't shine. He howled in pain and went off, swearing. "That's enough," Alby said as he came up to us. Alby sat down across from me. "What do you need? Is it Thomas?" I asked hurriedly. "No, calm down." He chuckled. "I was just going to tell you that you'll be working with Frypan in the kitchen." He finished. I nodded. "Will Thomas be working with us?" I asked hopefully. He shook his head, no. "He's working with Newt today." I nodded my head sadly. "You'll start after breakfast." He added before leaving. I looked at Gally who looked back at me. "I'll see you later then I guess," I said. "Yeah, we need to keep going with your hut, come on shanks." He said the last part to the builders and I nodded before going into the kitchen.
