the girls glade wasn’t the ideal life, but it was pretty okay for the circumstances you were in.

its been 3 years that you’ve been in the glade. you were the first one there, so you learned to cherish every girl you get, since you never know when you’ll have dark days.

everyone had their assigned position in the glade. runners, farmers, builders, everyone did their part. since you’ve been there the longest, you were leader of the glade. naturally, you were protective over every girl, like they were your sisters.

new month meant new arrival. you heard clanks and the box coming up, so you and the other girls ran to the box to see the new girl. when you opened the top you saw… a guy? black hair, tall, freckles over his face.

no guys in the glade…

you began questioning him. he was clueless, just like every girl who arrives. you hated him. it was supposed to be you and the girls, not a guy to ruin things.

you started as him being your enemy. yes, you gave him a tour and everything but you always kept your eye on him. watched him like a hawk. he would just look back at you. not angry, just… scared?

as time passed, you sorta warmed up to him. spoke more, were kinder. let him become friends with the girls. eventually, you were okay with him. just okay.

until even that changed. you’d barely met him a few days ago and he already had you feeling some type of way. but no, no. you were protecting the girls, that’s all you’re meant to do.

today, you were sitting outside of the maze walls, waiting for two of your best runners to come back when he sat down next to you slowly “i didn’t mean to… cause trouble. i only want to help us get out.”
