CHAPTER TWELVE
_______________________________

Ivy -

While I was giving Lilith a tour of the glade, a few of the boys took off to go check out the griever that Thomas had killed when he was stuck in the maze for the night.

Lil and I are walking back to the huts when we see a group of boys, covering their heads with the nearest item they could find, wooden planks, boxes, arms, eachother. Anything really at this point.

"Hey! You throw one more of those things—" Gally's sentence gets cut short when someone from the top of the unstable building throws an apple down at him, it lands right on top of his head. It makes me laugh a little.

"Hey, what's happening? Who's up—" I try to ask Gally before a branch gets launched at me, throwing me to the ground. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!" I shout.

Lilith and Gally bend down to check if I'm okay, he places his hand on my head, holding where I got hit. "Hey, you okay?" He asks.

Thinking back to what Lil was saying before when I was giving her the tour, I'm starting to think she might be right. I mean he isn't this nice to everyone else—no. No! She can't be right! She's wrong.

Definitely.

"Yeah, I just have a pounding headache now." I half joke. He takes his hand off of my head, stands up, and holds it out to held me up. "You should go get some water." He advises, his hand still stretched out for me to grab.

I look at it, then stand up on my own, leaving his hand. I nod my head and walk off to go find water.

Gally doesn't like me.

Gally doesn't like me.

Gally doesn't like me!

I make it to one of the huts and look around for a bottle of water, even just a cup that I can fill up.

I find one and chug the whole cup down. Once I'm finished, I look back to see that I've lost Lil.

I scan the glade with my eyes, looking for a short, black-haired, Asian girl. When I spot her, she's talking to newt. Thank the lord, I was scared for a minute there, she could have been talking to one of the creeps or something.

I walk back to where everyone's still standing. Someone is still throwing rocks and sticks. I'm assuming it's the girl.

Finally, Thomas makes it back from his little 'adventure' from the maze. He couldn't have taken any longer. He walks up to me, a confused look covering his face.

"What's happening?" He questions me. "The girl." I reply while pointing over to the top of the structure. "She's awake." I add. He looks over to the group still dodging flying fruits and sticks and he walks over to them.

"Hey! Hey! It's Thomas!" He shouts to her, still dodging the things that she's throwing. After he says his name, the sticks, rocks, and fruits, stoping coming.

We see a little head peek over the edge of the building, then it retracts.

"I'm gonna come up now, okay?" He reassures her before climbing to the top of the structure.

Gally looks at Thomas, a bit jealous that that's all it took for her to stop throwing things at them.

The group sigh, and they all go back to doing their own jobs.
