Never give up

The tour part 1

Newt's POV
I wake up to Alex still sleeping but hanging half of the bed. I chuckle lightly and I get up from the floor. All I remember is a nail from the floor digging into my back during the night, I'm pretty sure I also have splinters in the place where the sun doesn't shine. I walk over to Alex, the blanket and pillows are on the floor. I attempt to push Alex back up but that didn't work very well.
"Your one heavy shank when your sleeping." I mutter under my breath.
"I heard that." I hear Alex say. Oops.
"Sorry. Anyway, I need to go and get ready. You've got your tour today!" I say trying to light the awkward moment. She moves back onto the bed and turns over on her side and looks at me with puppy-dog eyes. Don't give in, don't give in!.
"Stop, looking at me like that. It's not gonna work, try it with Minho." Alex glares at me with so much hatred that I quickly look out the window.
"Where.Is.The.Shower?" She asks, pronouncing each word with so much venom.
"Round the back of the homestead, do you want me to guard the door?" I ask.
"And why would you do that?"
"Do really want me to answer that?" She quickly realises what she had said and shook her head. I walk over to the door and open it, I gesture for her to go first. She walks past me and I can hear her stomping down the stairs. I walked out of the room and shut the door behind me. I walked dos the stairs to find Alex standing at the door.
"Let's go." She said. Alex opened the door and walked out, I jogged to catch up with her.
"Follow me." I said, I walked around the back of the homestead to the showers. It was a small block made of wood with a window at the side. The lock on the door sometimes isn't very, well, trustworthy.
"There should be a towel inside, don't go to the very far side, on the left or the right. There's windows and I doubt you want a bunch of teenagers looking at you." I say while opening the door.
"Thanks." She says, she gives me a little smile that makes my heart race. "Do you have any clothes that I can borrow?"
"Yeah, don't go into the shower yet. I'll be back in a jiffy." I say while running away, good thing I'm a runner, other wise it would take ages to get to our room and back. I make it to our room in record time, I rummage through all my stuff and find an orange take top, a white hoodie and beige trouser. That should do. I run back and find Alex sitting on the ground.
"I'm back!" I shout.
"Aw thank the gods! I've been telling people to come back later." She says while laughing. I pass the clothes to her and she nods her head in thanks. I turn around and watch over the glade. I hear Alex shutting the door and turning on the shower. About a minute later I hear shrieks, I think I kinda forgot to tell Alex that we don't have any hot water. I spot Minho running across the glade, I shout him over as I was to speak to him this morning.
"What Newt? I'm running, get it running? Because I'm a runner? No? Never mind." Minho says. I roll my eyes.
"Yes, I got it. This is not why I'm shouting you over. Alex told me last night what happened. Do you seriously think what you said to Alex was smart? She's a greenie for shucks sake! We don't know how well she's handling the glade! She could be masking her emotions and one days he might just explode! I think just now we let her get used to here first before we start saying that kinda stuff." I finish.
"You know I didn't mean it! I was joking around! I'll speak to her when I get back. Is she starting any jobs today?" Minho asks.
"I know but you've got to be careful. She's getting the tour today." I reply
"Ok, see ya later shank." Minho says while sprinting off to the maze walls. I need to get back running again but I need to get Alex a job first. I let out a loud sigh, I hear the water turning off. About five minutes later, I hear the door opening. I fell backwards and landed on the wet floor.
"Newt! Are you ok?!" Alex basically shouts.
"I'm fine, I guess I was leaning against the door." I laugh to get rid of the awkwardness. Alex looks at me with uncertainty but she walks out of the shower room. I get up and notice that the back of my trousers are wet, so I take off my hoodie and wrap it around my waist. I check to make sure it doesn't show any wet patches. I walk out of the shower room and say to Alex.
"First proper day greenie. This is the easiest day any greenie will ever have."

(A/N). Very bad chapter. I couldn't update last week as Saturday, the day I usually update on. I was in bed all day and I wasn't feeling great for all of last week. I hope this chapter makes up for it!
