Newt has been trying to keep his part of the agreement, but he hasn't been doing a very good job. He scared most of the gladers when he had his little episode with Minho, but a few have tried to talk to me. Newt let me, but he's always lurking within earshot, behind a tree or pretending to work.
I can see Thomas walking over towards me. At the moment, Newt is nowhere to be found, but as soon as he sees Thomas he'll be here.
"Hey y/n, what's new?" Thomas asks.
"Nothing much. What about you?"
Suddenly, Newt appears next to a tree about twenty feet away. Thomas and I both notice.
"Just ignore him," I say.
"Anyways, I just have to tell you what happened in the maze today!"
"What?" I ask, excited for something to distract me from Newt's constant presence.
"Minho and I pretty much, probably, definitely had a moment when we took a break to eat lunch!" Thomas begins jumping up and down in excitement, grabbing my hands and making me jump with him.
Despite his limp, in a matter of seconds Newt had stepped in between us.
