(MUST READ THIS PART!!! In this story, Thomas and Newt switch places, so Thomas has been in the glade for a while, and Newt is the greenie. Also you switch places with Minho in this, so you go out into the maze with Alby instead of Minho)

Description: When you go out into the maze with Alby, you don't make it back in time, the greenie that you happen to have a crush on, takes matters into his own hands when he runs into the maze right before the doors close. Will you two be the first ones to survive a night in the maze, or will you be the grievers pancakes? (Sorry I had to😂)

You had just finished running your section of the maze with Ben, and you ran into the glade. You saw Chuck standing with a boy you had never seen before, so you assumed he was the greenie.

"Hey Chuck. This the new green bean," you ask while coming to a stop in front of the two boys.

"Yep. Albys having me show him around," Chuck stated with a proud look on his face.

"Looks like someone's happy to be promoted," you say while ruffling Chucks hair. He swats at your hand, and you giggle.

You look up at the greenie. He has brown eyes, shaggy blond hair, and is a few inches taller than you. He looks like he's your age. His eyes go wide when you look at him, and you smile.

"Hey newbie," you say while holding your hand out for him to shake. "Names (Y/n). You remember yours yet?"

He takes your hand in his large one after a minute of staring and says, "Newt." You realized he had a British accent.

Why was this boy so shucking cute. You had a fluttery feeling in the pit of your stomach, but you shoved it down when Minho ran up next to you.

"Come on (Y/n). Don't drive the guy crazy yet. He just got here. Plus you still gotta map your section," he says while standing next to you.

You roll your eyes at the shank, and he elbowed you in the ribs lightly. "Well I'll see you at the bonfire," you tell Newt, and you jog off with Minho who is smirking at you. You can feel Newts eyes boring a hole into you from behind, but you ignore it. Hes just like all the other newbies, you tell yourself. He's only looking cause your the only girl.

Newts POV

As she jogged off I couldn't help but let my gaze follow her. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen. Ok that sounds cheesy because I can't remember anything, but I knew that no other girl in the world could have been as pretty as her.

I'm shot out of my thoughts when Chuck starts snapping his fingers in my face. "Hey dude. Take your eyes off of (Y/n) for one second so I can explain something."

"Who is she," I ask completely ignoring Chucks comment.

"That's (Y/n). She's been here longer than any of us. She's the only girl, and she's our best runner," Chuck explains. "That being said, Alby also has a rule for her, and it's that no one touches her, or you get sent to the slammer."

I look at Chuck with a confused expression. "What are her and Alby together or something," I ask suddenly turning very red for eyeing (Y/n).

"Pfft. No. But it's a pretty teenage girl trapped in a place full of stupid teen boys. What do you expect?" Chuck tells me like it's the most obvious thing in the world. It kinda makes me want to laugh at the way he described her and the other boys here. "Multiple shanks didn't follow that rule, and she got em stuck in the medhut for over a week."

Hearing that she could stick up for herself somehow made me even more interested in her. "Mhm. Yep. Ok. Gotcha," I tell him, and he gives me a weird look.

"Ok come on," Chuck says while waving his hand in one direction as a gesture to follow him. "I don't think I'll be able to function properly if you keep staring off into space thinking about (Y/n)," and I'm pretty sure my face actually bursts into flames.

I can't wait to see her tonight, I think to myself.

(Y/n) POV

It's time for the bonfire, and your excited to talk to the greenie. You want to get to know him, and you also wanna hear what Chuck told him so you can make sure he's not scared of you or something.

You walk up right as all of the keepers are throwing their torches into the pile of hay and sticks and grass. You cheer along with all the boys, and start laughing as you see them goofing off.

Frypan was giving Winston a piggyback ride, and Gally was passing out his special drink. Some of the Gladers were making a beat on some makeshift drums, and a bunch of the boys were dancing along to the sound. It made you laugh at how stupid boys could act even in a situation like this.

You were the first one to be put in this hell hole, so you had seen every single boy come up in the box. You had a pretty close relationship with some of the boys, and they normally didn't push their luck with you. Only the greenies had ever made the mistake of trying something with you, and each time you sent them to the medhut for at least a week.

Once the boys started talking to you and got to know you, they respected you. Most of them thought of you as more of a sister than a girl they could have an interest in thankfully.

You dropped the thought as you walked up to Gally and got a mason jar full of his special concoction.

"Hey (Y/n). Don't drink so much that you can't wrestle tonight," Gally tells you as you grab the drink.

"Aye aye Cap'n," you tell him with a giggle and walk off. Even though you thought it was ridiculous, you always used Gallys nickname he gave himself.

You went to join the runners, and sat down in a small circle with them. There was Minho who was keeper of the runners, and Ben who always ran with you plus three others. And Thomas normally hung out with you guys cause he was a runner before Alby chose him for Second-in-Command, but you didn't see him.

"Hey guys," you say as you sit down on a log next to Ben who pats you on the back.

"Minho tells me you got the hots for the greenie," Ben says while smirking at you. Your face turns beet red.

"Pfft. No. I don't have the "hots"," you say putting finger quotations around the word, "for any of you dumb shanks."

"Oh that hurts (Y/n). I mean I thought me and you had a thing," Minho says with mock hurt while putting his hand over his heart.

"Ya I'd date Chuck before I ever even thought about gettin with you," you tell Minho in a sassy tone, and the boys crack up.

Minho starts sarcastically crying into his hands, so you walk over to him, and put an arm around his shoulder. "Awww. It's ok Minho. I mean it's not like you ever even had a shot," you say pretending to be sorry.

Minho's head shoots up at the comment, but you run away from the boys before he can say anything. You start looking for Thomas when you see him and the greenie sitting further away from all the boys on a log facing the doors to the maze.

You walk over to them with your drink in hand to see what their talking about. When you get over to them Thomas says, "Oh hey (Y/n). Where have you been?"

"Oh just dealing with a sad Minho because he never had a shot with me," you say sarcastically while sitting down between the two boys.

"Ha. I kept telling him, but he wouldn't listen to me," Thomas tells you, and you start laughing.

You look over at Newt when you calm down, and pass him your drink, and he looks at you skeptically. "Oh come on. If a girl can drink it, surely you can," you say with a grin.

He gives you one last glance before taking a big swig out of the jar. Almost immediately he spits it all out, and you and Thomas crack up. You start laughing so hard your crying and your side hurts.

When you and Thomas calm down, you take the drink back from Newt, and take a sip from the jar. "Don't worry. That's how most greenies react," you tell him, and pat his shoulder.

"Hey Thomas," Alby calls, and Thomas glances at you before standing up and walking over to Alby.

There's a moment of silence between you and the greenie before you speak up. "So how was your first day," you ask, curious to see what he thinks.

"Well considering everything from losing my memories, and being dumped in a place surrounded by a maze that no one can solve that has monsters in it, I'm actually doing pretty good," he tells you, and his lips curl up in a soft smile.

"Oh so Chuck didn't scare you off. That's surprising," you joke, and Newt chuckles.

"Nah. He's not to bad. He told me all of the rules, and showed me around," he tells you, and you know he knows about the no touching you rule. "He also told me that you were the first one here," he adds as an afterthought, sounding curious.

"Yep," you tell him truthfully. "Got sent up here three years ago, and I've been running the maze ever since Minho came up, and convinced me to go out with him."

There's another moment of silence before Newt asks a question. "So why is Alby the leader and not you. If you know the most about this place, then shouldn't you be in charge. Even Chuck told me that your the best runner, but your still not the keeper. What's that about?"

You both turn your heads and look at each other for a second before looking back at the maze doors again. "I wouldn't be good at it," you admit to him, laying further back against the log and crossing you arms. "Even though I showed up first, Alby was the one who took charge once he got here. I would show the greenies around, and he would pick their jobs and stuff. I also think it might have something to do with me being a girl. I can guarantee you more than half of these shanks would knock me off the roof of the homestead before they ever considered letting me be leader," you say, and chuckle afterwards.

You both go silent again, and you watch as Gally flips a boy over his back in the ring.

"Oh come on. You gotta watch me beat Gally," you tell Newt, and stand up while grabbing his arm. You pull him over to the sand pit, as Gally tosses the poor boy out.

"Hey Gally," you yell, and everyone looks at you. "You ready to get your butt wupped in front of all your fans," you ask while stepping into the pit and rolling up your sleeves. 'Oooooh's come from the crowd, and when you spin in a circle while waving your hands around to get the boys excited, they start cheering for you.

You turn back to Gally with the boys still cheering, and get in a fighting position while smirking at the boy who is at least twice your size.

"Ok! I want a nice clean fight! (Y/n) don't try to break his leg like last time," Thomas shouts, and all the boys laugh except for Gally.

"No promises," you tell him, and he just laughs again.

"Ok in three!" He holds up three fingers. "Two!" Two fingers. "One!" One finger, and all of the Gladers shout, "Fight!"

You don't know what about it was easy, but you got Gally out of the pit within two minutes. The boys cheered for you, and Minho and Ben ran up and lifted you up on their shoulders.

"Woohoo," you scream as you pump your fist in the air, and the boys cheer. Eventually they set you down, and the boys disperse to their hammocks. You don't really feel like going to bed yet, so you walk back to the log you and Newt had been sitting on, and sit down against it. You lean your head back, and let a smile appear on your face. You loved the bonfires. It was fun when you just got to hang out with the guys, not having to worry about the next day to run, or grievers, or creators, or anything else. You just felt at peace for a few hours in this crazy world.

Your head shoots back up when someone sits down next to you. You look over to see the greenie. "What are you doing here," you ask in a curious tone, the grin still plastered on your face.

"I could ask you the same question. Aren't you the one who has to run the maze tomorrow," he asks while raising his eyebrows at you like he had found out your most embarrassing secret, and he was deciding your fate.

"Ugh don't remind me," you groan sarcastically.

"Oops. Sorry love," he says while smiling at you. You don't know why, but you rest your head against his shoulder, feeling comfort from him being there for some reason. At first you feel him tense up, but after a second he relaxes, and he tilts his head to rest against yours.

You curl your knees to your chest while crossing your feet, and wrap your arms around them. You close your eyes, the soft breeze, and the sound of his breathing lulling you into a gentle sleep.

Newts POV

When (Y/n)s breaths fall short and even, I know she's asleep. I grin like an idiot at the thought of her asleep leaning on my shoulder. After a few minutes, I turn my head slightly. When she doesn't wake up, I reposition her to where I can pick her up in my arms, and I stand up. Her body is limp in my hold, one arm underneath her back, and another under her knees, holding her tight to my chest.

I look around, wondering if I'm going to get in trouble for this, when I spot Thomas. I start to worry when he walks towards me. Once he's standing in front of me, he looks me in the eye as if trying to get me to back down, but I hold his gaze. After a minute, he looks down and sees (Y/n) in my arms.

"Hey where should I take her," I whisper to him, wondering what he was thinking at the moment.

Thomas sighs. "Her rooms the third door on the right in the homestead," he tells me, and I nod. I turn around, and as I'm about to walk off to the homestead, Thomas speaks up again. "You know she likes you. She hasn't told me, but I can't see the way she looks at you. Your one lucky shank," he tells me, and smiles when he sees my shocked expression. He turns around and walks off.

I just stand there in shock for a minute. When my brain finally starts up again, I walk to the homestead. Could she actually like me, I wonder to myself. I mean I just got here, and now Thomas says she likes me?

I stop thinking about this when I go up the stairs, and turn into the third door on the right side of the hall. I lay her limp body down on the bed, and pull the blanket up to her neck. I can't help but look at her peaceful sleeping form. It reminds me of the look she had on her face when I came back up to her after the fight. Calm.

After a minute of gazing at her, I walk out of the room, and close the door behind me. I start grinning like a fool again, and I can't help but have a pep in my step as I walk back to the hammock Chuck helped me set up.

I lay down, and put my hands behind my head as a pillow. Maybe this place won't be so bad after all, I think to myself.
