Since they were so against facing the Gievers or exploring the maze more in depth, it took them 2 years to figure out the code and finally escape. It's never revealed why WICKED put Thomas and Teresa in the maze, but my theory is that the other Gladers were taking too long to escape so they put them in to help them out. Therefore, Thomas' position in the glade was created because of fear, the fear of the Grievers the Gladers had, and WICKED's fear that they'll take too long.

When they get to French class the teacher asks if anyone can speak French, “Victor raises his hand, wanting to impress Teresa”(Soto,3) even though he can’t actually speak French, he lies to try to get her attention.
