Part 3- Grace
I should've known he'd turn me down. But I didn't realize he would get that angry. It didn't hurt physically, but it definitely hurt emotionally.
Newt usually made me so happy, I wasn't expecting him to shove me like that.
I walked to my hut and sat down on my bed, letting the tears come silently. I was a builder, I should be getting to work with Gally. But I decided that today my lunch break could be a little bit longer.
About a half hour later, there was a knock on my door. I half hoped it was Newt, I wanted to talk to him again, maybe he'd apologize.
Even if he pushed me, I still wanted to see him. I care about him, You could even say I love him.
"Come in" I rubbed the red out of my eyes and out a smile on my face. Gally walked in.
"Hey Grace, time to get to work" he said with a grin. I stood from my bed and walked towards him.
"What are we building today?" I asked as we walked out of my small hut, trying to think of something other than Newt
"We are-," he started.
"Is that Newt? Todays his day off, what's he doing?" I cut him off. Newt was walking towards the entrance to the maze.
"Newt, what are you doing?" I called out to him. I started running towards him.
"Grace, it's probably nothing. We gotta get to work" Gally insisted.
I just shook my head and kept running, "Newt!"
Newt looked left and right, then glanced back at the glade. His eyes looked wet and his expression was sad. I hoped he'd seen me running and would come to talk to me, but the look was so quick, I didn't think he noticed me.
"Newt! Come here!" I called one last time.
And then Newt ran into the maze.
I lost my footing and almost fell, but a hand grabbed my wrist and kept me up.
"Grace, what's he doing?" Gally asked.
"I don't know, but it can't be good. We gotta go" I tried to take off again, but Gally's grip kept me there.
"We aren't allowed in the maze, remember? Let him sort it out" Gally argued.
"Why would he go out in the maze when it's his day off? You know he doesn't like it out there. We gotta see what's up" I cried.
Gally gave in and started running towards the entrance with me. "Grace, I'll go out but you gotta stay here in the glade, okay? I'll be back as soon as possible" he said.
I knew there was no use arguing, I nodded and stepped aside as Gally ran into the maze.
A minute later, a dark skinned boy came up to me
"Gracy, what's Gally doing running around in the maze?" He asked in a demanding voice.
"We saw Newt run into the maze even though it's his day off. You know he hates the maze, why would he go out?" I answered.
Alby looked at me, then into the maze. "Gally can't navigate the way runners do. I gotta get him" then he took off running into the maze, following the other two boys.
I pressed my back against the wall and sunk to the floor. Three boys left into the maze in just a matter of minutes. And two of them i cared about deeply.
Sure, I was worried about the Alby boy, but he seemed like he knew what he was doing-he should be fine.
I was worried about Gally, I'm glad he was helping Newt, but he didn't know the maze. But he was tough, he should be okay.
I was most worried about Newt. Why did he go in the maze in the first place? Was it because of something I did? And The question that worried me the most, Will he make it out?
