Property of WICKED

Chapter 6 ~ Addicted

The source of the noise came from Thomas, falling directly into the water that she had almost drowned in the day before. She cracked up laughing, unable to even stand up anymore.

"Fuck you!" He shouted as she continued to laugh on the floor, she pushed herself up and looked at him. He was glaring daggers at her and pulled himself out using the rocks.

"Your lucky i don't shove you in!" He added on as he started strutting back towards the glade. She followed along trying as hard as she could to contain her laugh but couldn't help it, she also struggled keeping up with him through the fog.

"Would you shut up!" Thomas chuckled slightly too as Iris finally stopped laughing, tears rolling down her face as she continued to replay the moment over and over in her head reminding him of how he was saying how he wasn't clumsy and then fell into a very seeable pool of water.

"Chuck, guess what happened!" Iris shouted as she ran towards him through the fog, she could hear Thomas trying to stop her from telling him but she was long gone, running towards Chuck.

At around lunch, everyone was sat at the picnic tables outside the kitchen and Minho came back like he said he would, he was barely even sweating and looked like he had just walked through the maze, which baffled Iris and even Thomas; the rest seemed to already be used to it.

The fog began clearing up after lunch and everyone returned to their jobs, the builders did what they usually did, cut up wood and sit around all day. Gardeners pulled weeds, pulled carrots and potatoes. Winston killed a pig which was something Iris didn't want to listen to again.

By nightfall, darkness fell upon the glade and a few select gladers were sat around a small campfire, talking and drinking gallys special drink.

"You'll never believed what Thomas did today." Iris said after a long sip from her drink, immediately Thomas put his head in his hands and started trying to make her be quiet and not mention it to some other gladers.

Newt, Minho, and Frypan began begging for Iris to tell them what happened and she couldn't help herself.

"This idiot was giving me a speech about how he wasn't clumsy, and mid sentence fell straight into this water thing in the woods, completely soaked his entire clothes." Iris began laughing at the memory, everyone else began laughing too, barely being able to hold onto their drinks, it was fair to say gallys drink was going to their heads...

"Show us where." Newt said in between laughs, they all got up from their seats and Iris led them through the woods in the dark, Thomas was moaning the entire time about it but they were all laughing over him.

After all of them stumbling and laughing through the woods, occasionally tripping they found the pool of water that glistened in the moonlight.

"Here is where he fell in!" Iris said stretching out her arms, they all stepped up onto the rocks and looked down. Due to the alcohol the thoughts of almost being drowned by ben were almost a fever dream, and it made it easier to push them straight back to the back of her mind, sealed away in a tiny corner.

Minho stepped up to the edge and peeped over and smirked at the water, he stepped back without saying anything and started taking his shirt off, Iris, without thinking reverted her eyes.

"Don't be shuck heads, let's go for a little swim." Minho said as the sound of his clothes being thrown onto the floor entered Iris' ears.

"Good idea." She turned back around to see all four of the guys beginning to strip just into their boxers, it was probably the alcohol.. All four of them barely were able to keep their footing while taking everything off.
