Half Gally-Half Love

Chapter 11

I had been getting dirty looks from Britney ever since the fight. Which was only to be expected from her. I tried to ignore it at first, but then it got on my nerves, it was so childish and petty. But I had Rachel to support me, and Gally on occasions, when he could sneak away from her clutches. I wish he would just end it with her, as much as I don't like Britney, I couldn't help but feel guilty that she was so oblivious and clueless about Gally's true feelings.

The day was painfully slow but it was soon the evening and the Gladers had planted themselves around the heart- warming bonfire. I was sat with Newt, Thomas and Chuck when Alby strolled up to me. "Tee, we've felt that you have been here quite a long time now and that we can trust you, so come with me" I sat there in a pool of confusion. Chuck nudged me so I snapped out of my thoughts. "Lets go" Alby said and smiled. I silently obeyed him and he lead me to the south wall of the glade, what the hell is happening? This isn't a sacrifice is it?! Sorry I'm overreacting now... "Now, pull back that ivy there" he said pointing to a curtain of ivy covering the wall. "What's happening?" I asked. "I think we've kept you in suspense for long enough, I'm sure you want to know what everyone comes here for" he said and brushed some ivy away. Alby lifted a fire torch up to the wall, and suddenly everything became clear. I saw a wall covered with names, I instantly knew that it was everyone here. My hand ran over Thomas's, Newt's name and then Gally's. Alby brought out a knife. I took it and paused. "Why are some crossed out?" I asked him. "Not everyone survives this place, the maze is a terrible thing, Tee don't underestimate it" he explained. I nodded and put the knife to the wall and began to carve my name. I smiled when I finished but then there was a rumbling noise and it wasn't the doors; it was a horrible growling. I had heard this noise in the homesteads but never this close, it was awful, it sent shivers down my spine and all the hairs on my body stood up. I stepped back quickly but Alby steadied me. "It's fine, they're in there; they can't hurt you here" he said pointing to the maze. "That's why we're so strict on only letting our experienced runners in the maze. They're the fastest and strongest out of all of us" he said patting my back.

I shivered, and thanked Alby for trusting me with this. I truly felt like I belonged here now. I started to walk back to the fire and then saw Rachel by the homesteads so made my way to see her, I bumped into Gally on the way. "Hi, fancy seeing you here, where have you been?" he asked. "Alby took me to write my name on the wall. But then I heard the grievers, I see why you're all so touchy about the maze" I cringed, and he chuckled. "Now maybe you won't be a shuckhead and ask me so many questions" he smiled and ruffled my hair. We were both silent for a minute. He coughed and looked round before speaking. "Can I talk to you in private? I don't have much time, and I can't wait anymore" and he jerked his head towards Britney who was sat around the fire with the builders. "Oh, I get it" I said rolling my eyes, and lead him into a hut that was a safe distance away from the others. Unfortunately it was a very small one and I was cramped against Gally's body. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked looking down.

"Look, I don't like Britney, I never did to be honest, she was just easy, and..... I wanted to see what you'd do" he said looking down. "That's certainly what I'd call her" I mumbled. I didn't answer the other part of his statement, I just let it whirl around in my head. He sighed and looked at me. "I see you don't take kindly to other girls then" he said raising his eyebrows. "I'm sorry your girlfriend is a blonde version of Godzilla, someone had to put her down a peg" I shrugged, folding my arms. He looked uneasy for a moment and looked at my face; in deep thought. "You know what I thought when I first saw you?" He asked me. "No?" I answered truthfully. "I thought you were trouble, that you'd been sent here to muck everything up" he replied. "Oh well thanks a bunch" I said a little too loudly throwing my arms in the air. "I know I know, but then I got to know you. Fiesty, caring... sexy. I thought you were way out of my league, the others did too" he said stepping closer to me so our bodies were touching. "Why were you such a d**k then?" I asked him. "To be honest, I'm not the best at dealing with emotions. Sorry if I was a d**k" he mumbled looking at the floor. "You were a d**k" I said laughing slightly. He had a sheepish expression and looked away. "It's fine, actually, I thought you hated me" I said. "I've been wanting to do this for ages" he muttered into my ear and his hand glided over my waist slowly. His other hand came up and caressed my cheek. His face was right up close to mine, he stared into my eyes. My breathing hitched, and all my senses became alert. What was he doing? "Can I try something?" He asked quietly. I nodded but before I could reply he pushed his lips on to mine. We stood there for a second, lips connected, enjoying the intimate contact. Then our lips started to move in time together. His hand immediately left my cheek and grabbed my hips and pulled me closer to his own body. His lips moved perfectly in sync with mine and they were so soft and lush. He made a low noise purely out of pleasure which made me smile into the kiss. I was getting way too ahead of myself and remembered the situation. I pulled away; not wanting to get too carried away. "I think you'd better sort things out with Britney" I said adjusting myself and getting my breathing back in control. He nodded, his head against mine; but at that exact moment I heard a shrill call. "Gally! Where are you?" the voice screeched. "Britney" we muttered. Couldn't of come at a better time! (Note to mega sarcasm) Before he left he pushed his lips to mine. I broke away. "Easy tiger! Divorce first, kiss after" I said sarcastically. "You're my girl" he whispered seductively in my ear. "We'll see" I said grinning. He gave me a fake smile and then left..... I leant against the wall, thinking about what had just happened. I even pinched myself to check if I was dreaming. I checked if no one else was around before doing. "YESSSSS!"
