"What was that?" Newt asked in an angry tone that made me a little surprised that someone like him could have an angry side. Me, Newt, Thomas, Minho, Gally, and of course Alby all sat in the main hut where meetings are held. I sat on a log, cornered by all five of them. I looked down at the ground, I felt ashamed with what I had done at this moment, I felt embarrassed with how I had behaved in front of everyone.

However, there was something inside of me that fought that feeling, and defended what I had done, and that she deserved it.

"Im sorry! But she started all of it! She was practically begging for me to hit her!"

They all just stood staring at me, "Only, she didn't technically ask, she just wanted to, but didn't say it with words? I mean, she did talk and tried to get me mad but--

"This could go on forever, so I'm just going to say that Y/N, you made a huge mistake. You broke one of our rules of the glade, now you go apologize, and tonight you're going in the pit for one night with no food." Alby stated before nodding to everyone else and leaving the hut to take care of everyone else.

I stared after him once he left, but slowly dragged my gaze away from him and met the eyes of everyone. Gally just smiled in disbelief and walked out, Gally was always a little snooty, so I was used to it. I watched him walk past me, trying to force myself not to look at anyone else and to just get up and leave. Right now, I really just wanted to sleep, I had a massive headache and I felt a little loopy.

Minho didn't say anything but walked up to me and gave me a gentle, comforting pat on the shoulder before walking out of the hut.

Now it was just me, Thomas, and Newt.

I awkwardly, and slowly, dragged my gaze to the two of them, not knowing what to do. It was so... icky with the two of them, I didn't want to deal with all that right now.

Before anyone could say anything, or anything could happen, Newt sensed the awkwardness and left the room, leaving me and Thomas alone. As soon as he left, I stood up quickly.

"I'm so sorry Thomas, for last night, I didn't mean anything, I swear. And for today, I really shouldn't have hit or even talked to Teresa today." I begged for his forgiveness, hoping we could just forgive and forget something along the lines of that.

Thomas just sighed, glancing around anxiously, not knowing what to say. I walked over to him, feeling an electric pull towards him. I wanted him to forgive me, I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to be friends with him like we were before, I dont want this weird awkwardness.

We were about two inches apart, Thomas just looked at me, he bit his lip in frustration.

Immediately, I wrapped my arms around him, giving him a hug, hoping all this would go away. He hesitated for a second, but eventually hugged me back tightly. His hands were on my upper back, one hand brushing my hair towards him a bit. We both took a deep breath, feeling like every little thing was just vanishing away.

After moments of silence we both finally pulled away, only our faces had pulled away. Our lips were almost touching, the tension in the air tightening like a string. Both our chests were rising and falling quickly, before finally we pulled away completely away from each other.

"You know what, you just kissed my best friend..." Thomas muttered, smiling in amusement sarcastically, glancing at me and the ground. I nodded awkwardly, not wanting to remember my drunken mistake.

"Yeah, and you did kiss Teresa, so I guess that means we probably shouldn't even feel---

"I didnt kiss Teresa."

~~~

Because I was punished, I was supposed to be in the pit tonight with no food or water. Which in case you didn't know, no food and water isn't really good when you're hungover. Gally opened the pit door and practically shoved me inside, I scoffed in annoyance with his harshness. Gally just smiled at me innocently before locking me up and walking away.

I sighed as I fell into the wall, leaning against the cold stone, almost freezing my ass off basically. Not long later however, a light comes towards me and I quickly look up to see that it was Minho. I smiled in happiness to see my friend, I was just glad it wasn't Newt or Thomas. Minho sat down at the entrance of the pit and just smiled at me before I asked what was happening with Teresa.

"Well, she was with our little doctor like all day, she just got released just now, and I'm pretty sure shes hanging around with Thomas." Minho finished, with a nervous look on his face, looking almost afraid of what I would do.

Instead of getting annoyed and jealous like I usually would do, I just sighed and slumped a bit further down the wall.

"Thomas and I almost kissed."

Minho's eyes widened, a flash of pain shot through his eyes but quickly vanished in a blink. He didnt even say anything, instead he just sighed in disbelief and overwhelmed with the amount of drama I have brought to the glade.

"I really like him, I cant stop thinking about him..." I whispered in defeat, I just stared at Minho, unsure of what I should do once I'm actually out of the pit. Minho just looked at me, he forces out a weak smile before he adjusts his position.

"A-are you sure?" Was all he had said, his whisper making me a little confused with how hurt he had felt. However, he hid it well in my perspective, no hurt throughout his facial expressions, and that was all I had noticed.

Well, all I had allowed myself to notice, even though I knew deep down why he seemed hurt.

"I just can't stop thinking about his beautiful brown eyes, the way his little hair is always flat, and how his smile almost makes me feel so warm. And when we held hands one night I couldn't help but feel butterflies all over my body, and---

"Y/n..."

I shut my mouth swiftly, looking at Minho in confusion as to why he had interrupted me mid rant.

"You're in love with him..." He whispered with a weak smile on his face before he stood up. I just stared after him as he waved goodbye, seeming in a hurry to get away from me.

I thought before that I was in love with him, but then I really just thought of it as a 'Oh yeah, I love you.' type of love rather than 'I love you...'. I hadn't really thought of it in that way, I sighed in annoyance with myself as I layed on the cold concrete floor, trying to fall asleep to prepare for the battles that are probably going to happen because of me once I'm out of the pit.

I just want to forget everything, and restart.
