In The Maze

10

I've been searching the deadheads for about an hour now. I'm starting to think he isn't here.

Then I hear it.

A muffled sob comming from deeper in the forest.

I follow the sound

"I hate him, I hate him." He mutters as I walk up to him.

"Newt." I say when sit down by him.

"What?" He almost hisses.

"Want to just forget about this?" I ask.

"See, I don't want to forget." He wispers.

"What?" I ask confused.

"I don't want to forget." He says.

"What?" I ask again, not getting where he is going.

"I don't want to forget!" He says loudly this time.

"Newt! What?!" I ask louder.

"This." He says.

"Wha-" he cuts me off by kissing me.

I freeze as he pulls away and grins.

"God I've wanted to do that for a while." He says.

I feel like I stay frozen.

"Mixy?" He asks. "Oh god! I'm sooo sorry."

"It's okay." I wisper, what am I doing!?!?

"What?" He asks.

"It's okay." I say louder. Mixy, shut up. Right now.

"Really!?" Newt asks surprised.

"Yeah." I say. Mixy... Shut up!

"Oh, well that is good because well, that would have been really akward." He says.

"Yeah." I laugh. Oh god, do I even like him? What have I done? I internally face palm.

He laughs, god this still is akward.

The doors slide shut with a loud grinding noise.

"I'm going to bed." I say.

"Oh," Newt blushes.

"What?" I ask him.

"The counsel thinks that it would be safer for you to sleep inside, like with one of the keepers." He says.

"Oh," I say. "Who and I sleeping with?"

"Me." He blushes more.

"Oh, ok." I say. "Wait why?" I ask.

"Well you never sleep by us but one night Ashley got picked up and taken away, we cought them but... We don't want to take risks." He explains.

"Oh, kay." I say.

"Sorry." He says.

"Dude, it's fine." I say.

"Well, come on, let's go and I'll show you where you are sleeping." He stands.

"Okay." I say.

We walk to the homestead.

There are a bunch of hamacks lined up. Some have people in them, others don't.

Newt leads me up a set of stairs to a long hallway.

"We are at the end." He says.

"Okay." I say blandly.

Once we get in the room Newt turns to me and frowns.

"Okay, it is obvious that you don't like me the way I like you." He says and holds his hand out. "Friends?"

"Friends." I repeat thank god.

"Thanks." He says.

I grin and look around the room. It isn't much, just a room with two hamacks on the sides of it.

"Oh, by the way!" He tosses a bag at me.

I glance inside and see a bunch of cloths.

"Thanks." I mutter.

At the bottom of the bag I find spandex and a tank top.

There is a small cloth in the corner.

"You can change behind that." Newt says.

I glance at it.

"I will stay here." Newt laughs.

"Okay?"

I run behind the cloth change as fast as I can and then run back to my hamack. Once I climb into it and pull the blanket up to my chin I glance over at Newt and,

Wholy...

Shuckidie...

Shuck...

Shuck...

Sucking...

Shucker...

Shucky...

Shuck...

Newt sits on his hamack his blanket at his waist and no shirt!

I feel my face get red.

Wholy shuck. Okay maybe I do like him a little.

"Something catch your eye?" He asks.

I relize I'm staring at him.

I feel my face redden more and I hide my face in a pillow.

I hear him laugh.

I stay with my face in my pillow until I hear Newt's breaths even out, saying he is asleep.
