At seventeen years old, Samira Gray would join Etril, a strict, rough boarding school for girls. No boys, no parties, no skin shown, no freedom other than walking around the campus... and looking at the school next door; Etril boarding school for boys.

But when a certain boy crosses her path and they both find their benefits in each other, real things start.

✯ Information ✯

Hey,
and welcome back to another AU fanfic!

- Most readers probably already know me, so I'll try to keep it short.
My name's Vera, and I'm obviously the writer シ

- My first language is not English, so I apologize for mistakes. Feel free to correct any!

- You've already read what an AU is, but here are some last things that'll be different in this story compared to stories where it actually takes place in The Maze Runner world:

- Everyone has got last names here. It's a need for the story and it'll make more sense, you know? I'm not 'creative enough' to come up with the most original last names, so just gave the characters basic ones :)

- Not all Maze Runner characters will have a role in this fan-fiction. I apologize if I disappoint anyone with that. The ones in the cast play the biggest roles and a few others like Jorge, Ava, Mary, etc, have smaller roles.

- Random warning: I always have the urge to turn Thomas into Stiles Stilinski or a guy with just one brain cell

- Not only Thomas's personality will be a bit different, but a few others too. Like, Gally won't be the 'bully' everyone thinks he is, etc.

- The story might start a bit weird to some people, but it's necessary for the fake dating trope to make sense.

- And yes, fake dating is definitely not everyone's favorite but maybe if you (and I) trust the process, we'll make something out of it !!
*positive energy*

- Unlike the fact Minho was a gentleman with a black bankcard in my other AU fanfic... that is not the case here.

- This won't contain smut, but if you've been reading my stories for a while, you notice that each book gets a bit more detailed by the time, I guess. But trust me, there will be spicy scenes!!

- ⚠️ Trigger/content warnings:
• physiological abuse (mental/emotional abuse)
• use of alchohol
• possible mentions of suicide
• (mentions of) self-harm
• (signs of) depression

(Not a Vera book without trauma)

But I do want to say that I'm here for anyone who struggles. Please talk to someone about things. Me and a lot of other people would love to help. Take care x

Okay, I didn't make it short. But whatever, hope you enjoy!!
