Kaya Scodelario has revealed that her male co-stars in "The Maze Runner" did not treat her like a girl on set, and she "really liked" it.

Based on the first book in the young-adult trilogy of the same name by James Dashner, "The Maze Runner" follows the story of teenager Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) who wakes up to find himself without any memory of his past in a giant maze called The Glade, which is already inhabited by a group of similarly amnesiac boys - and later, a girl - working to plan an escape.

Scodelario plays Teresa Agnes, the one and only female character who ended up in the giant maze. And though, the 22-year-old British actress is not the only female cast member in the film, she spent most of the time on set with male actors including O'Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Newt), Ki-hong Lee (Minho), Will Poulter (Gally) and a lot more.

In an interview with Creative Loafing Atlanta, Scodelario opened up what was it like to be the only girl on the set.

"Honestly, I never felt like the only girl on set," she said. "We were all friends straight away, and that's special on any job. I loved going to work with my friends. There was never a day where I was like, 'Ah, I have to sit next to these guys.'"

"And they didn't treat me like a girl," added Scodelario, who is best known for her portrayal of Effy in the British teen drama "Skins." "They treated me with the same respect they gave everyone else. They didn't change how they behaved in front of me, which I really liked. You know, they still made their dick jokes and fart ... and that was cool, that's who they are. I love being around them."

But Scodelario, who has a lot of guy friends in London, also needed some girl time at some point during the filming. She shared that some of her girlfriends came and visited him while doing the movie.

Teresa had an immediate connection to Thomas the moment she arrived into The Glade - a relationship that viewers may misinterpret as some sort of romance. But Scodelario told Screenrant that she never saw it romantic.

"I don't think James' intention was to make it romantic. I think they just understand each other, they have a love for each other that isn't a sexual love. I think the instincts are to survive and to help each other and to care for each other. There's no time for, 'Let's go on a picnic date,'" she said.

O'Brien has the same thoughts with Scodelario. "We don't have romance in the movie, and I love that, for the first time in one of these really cool YA stories," O'Brien told The Hollywood Reporter."These kids are fighting for their lives, they're not gonna stop and kiss and cuddle, and I love that so much."
