"How'd you do that, greenie?" Jeff asks, motioning towards my cut finger. I had almost forgot about that. 

"While I was in The Box I got cut" I reply, earning a strange look from Alby. Newt raises his eyebrow. 
"It was dark, there was a crate with a saw in it. I was panicking, feeling my surroundings" I shrug. 

"It could get infected. I'll get you a plaster" Jeff offers and runs off. He's nice, he's also a med-jack so I guess he's only doing his job. 

"You should've said something earlier, Ro." Newt comes over and sits next to me. 

"Ro?" I laugh and give him a questioning look. 

"I heard Minho call you Ro earlier, thought I might try it" Newt says. 

"I think Rosaline sounds better coming from you" I lie, truth is, my name shortened sounds amazing coming from Newt's lips. 

"Then I'll just stick to calling you Rosaline" he says. I gently nudge him with my shoulder. 

"I was just kidding, you know. It sounds neat coming from you" I feel my cheeks heat up, I look down at the ground so my hair covers my face from the side.

Newt nudges me back, "yeah? Then I'll just have to call you Ro and I'll tell Minho he's not allowed to call you that anymore" 

I look up at him, he grins shyly at me before playing with his fingers. 

"Alright lovebirds, dinner's waiting" Alby teases motioning for us to follow him to the homestead where Gladers are already lining up for dinner. 

"That's Frypan. He's our cook" Newt tells me as we walk behind Alby. I spot a boy - maybe 16 or 17 - serving everyone their dinner. By himself. 

"He's your only cook?" I ask. 

"Yeah, been since the beginning. Don't know what we'd do without him. I mean we could eat raw veggies but that wouldn't be sufficient" Newt replies as we get in line. He smiles at me for some reason so I return the gesture. 

He can't get anymore cute. I wounded if he knows that, or maybe another Glader has already told him that. I mean, considering the time they've spent here with no one of the opposite gender- 

"You space out a lot, don't you?" Newt waves a hand in front of me, like he did earlier. 

"Huh? Oh yeah the weather is pretty good" I say, having no idea what Newt just said. 

Newt just shakes his head playfully and laughs. 

"Here's your plaster, greenie" Jeff finally returns. How long does it take for someone to get a plaster. 

I thank him anyway. 

"Anytime, greenie" he winks at me before running off again.

"What was that all about?" Newt asks me. 

I chuckle, "no idea"

〜 after dinner 〜 

"Newt'll give you the tour tomorrow. For now, get some sleep. You'll need it" Alby says and I nod. He leaves me with Newt. 

"I know Alby just said I get the tour tomorrow, but I need to know something" I say. 

"Ask away greenie" Newt smiles. 

"Where am I sleeping?
