Oh my god, why the shuck is this wooden plank so heavy? I thought as I struggled to pick up the heavy plank. I wasn't even a builder but I had to do it as Gally had asked me. He said as I was the 'greenie', I gotta listen to him. I was still struggling to pick it up when I heard someone.

"Oh looks like little (y/n) needs help with that" I heard a mocking voice coming from behind. Ugh, Alex - one of the builders and one of the biggest jerks in the glade.

I ignored him and continued trying to lift the plank, failing miserably but none the less, I tried yet again, hoping some miracle would help me pick it up.

"Why don't you call one of your bodyguards? Huh? Newt or Minho or someone" He snickered behind my back as my blood boiled.

He continued, ignoring me, "I don't even know why Gally gave such a big work to little helpless (y/n)" He snickered once again and this time, I snapped.

"Shut up Alex" I sneered as I turned around to face him.

"Oh so it speaks? " Alex answered back with an amused grin.

"Look baby, you should leave stuff like this to strong people like me, okay? You should probably go do something you can - like help in the gardens or something." He said as he grabbed my wrist.

"Alex let go of my hand." I said faking a strong voice but my voice was cracking, causing me sound vulnerable.

"Nope. What are you gonna do? Cry? Call your bodyguards?" He laughed a taunting laugh.

That's it,  I thought as I glided my hand over his cheek in one swift motion - slapping him.

He let go of my hand as he caressed his cheek and then he looked towards me, anger evident on his face.

"You are a bitch" He sneered as he shoved me hard and I stumbled back. He raised his hand, probably to slap me back but then as if on cue, he showed up.

"Back off Alex" Thomas said as he stepped between and pushed Alex back, away from me.

"Oh look, it's (y/n's) 'boyfriend', ready to save her miserable ass. So Thomas what are you gonna do?" He laughed again.

"This." I heard his familiar voice as I saw him throw a punch at Alex's face, sending him tumbling back.

"Oh you wanna fight?" Alex retorted as regained his balance and he punched Thomas back.

Thomas tackled him to the ground, pinning him down as he punched Alex, leaving him with a black eye.

"DONT YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER" Thomas said through grit teeth as he threw another punch.

I stood their, my mouth hung open - still soaking the scene in front of me when I heard a accented voice booming.

"BLOODY HELL! TOMMY GET OFF ALEX!" Newt hollered as he came to the scene.

"GET OFF HIM!" He yelled yet again as he pried Thomas off Alex.

"What the shuck was that?" Newt asked once he had calmed down Alex and Thomas.

"He hit (y/n) -" "He hit me -"  They both started speaking at once.

"You know what, I don't even bloody care. In the slammer for a night, both of you." Newt massaged his temple as he lead both of them to the slammers.

I stood their in shock, still not believing that Thomas had beat up a guy for my sake. I have to thank him for that.

*Time skip Muchacho*

I made my way to the slammer, hoping no one noticed me. I saw Thomas sitting with his back to the gate in one of the stammers and quickly walked over there. Dinner was going on, so I had managed to sneak in a sandwich for him.

"Hey Thomas!" I whispered as Thomas looked back.

"(y/n)? What the shuck are you doing here? You know you shouldn't be here -" He started as I cut him off.

"Oh my god, shut up. I brought you a sandwich. Do you want it or not?" I said as I rolled my eyes.

"Well I never say no to food" He said as I handed him the sandwich through the bars.

He ate as I finally broke the silence, "Thanks for um...  doing that" I said my cheeks turned red.

"No problem, you are my 'girlfriend' according to Alex anyways." He said as he resumed eating.

"Right...  But you still got in trouble because of that. I feel like I owe you one." I said, trying to keep the conversation going.

"Hey, what kind of boyfriend am I if I don't save my girlfriend from jerks?" He continued in a casual tone, "And if you feel that you owe me, just go on a date with me and we will call it even."

My cheeks reddened more than humanly possible and he smirked at my reaction.

"So is that a yes or not?" He asked

"Yes I guess" I looked at the ground awkwardly while answering.

"I should probably go I guess" I said standing up.

"Okay, I will meet you tomorrow." Thomas smiled at me and I turned around and left, faintly hearing a "Thanks for the sandwich".

Who knew 'Alex the Asshole' could play Cupid?
