Chapter Two

It had been almost a week after settling into the Glade.

"Rise and shine Love, big day ahead of us" I graciously open my eyes to see a sleepy Newt smiling down on me, stroking the hair off my face, we had gotten considerably close,

"Morning" I smile,

 
"Time to get up, you have your Job trials today, but also I I to show you something." he says sitting back down on his hammock leaning down to tie up his shoelaces, I do the same after a quick stretch. The soft grass against my feet was a nice awakening, I grin down at my feet,

"What's gotten you so happy this morning?" He partly smirks, I look up at his face, he has no idea the effect he has on me.

"I'm just, in a way, glad to be here?" I say as though it was a question,

"Me too Love"

Newt leads me to the North-east corner of the Glade, I see part of the wall has a bunch of names on it...

Newt pulls out a knife from up his sleeve, not going to lie I was a little startled, but not too much.

"Please don't tell me your going to chop me up and give me to Frypan to boil into a stew..." I snicker,

"Nah, not today at least..." we both laugh, He hands me the Knife and tells me to write my name somewhere, I find his name and put mine a little up to the left, He smiled at that as I handed him back the knife.

After breakfast, in which Newt told me about all of the Jobs, only a few actually seemed appealing though, especially the Runner Job.

Newt was a Runner, or is, I'm not sure, I didn't bother to ask.

"Hey Newt?" I ask while we take our dishes up to Frypan,

"Yea love?" He looks at me,

"What's your job?" I ask purely out of curiosity,

"Well as second in command, a lot of random jobs pop up, some days I'll be working with the Slicers, others I'll be working with the Track-hoes, it's all over the place, but typically, I am a runner.

I smile, maybe we would be running partners, that's if Minho decides I'm good enough for the job or not.

I started off with the Med-jacks today, it was interesting, I could really get into it if I wanted to.

I have decided Gally is out for my guts, he just keeps giving me the vibe that he doesn't like me and wants me to leave,, as if I could. 

Today I noticed Newt with the Track-hoes, we vaguely waved to eachother before getting back to work, we didn't have much today, or so we thought.

I was sitting outside the Med-jacks taking in the fresh air when I heard the first blood curdling scream. I immediately glance around waiting for something to happen, which it did.

I see Thomas running out of the Deadheads at top speed, no wonder why he's a runner, I see another tall figure chasing after him, Ben?

I look at Newt but he is already looking at me, we both get up and run as fast as we can to the now tackled Thomas, Ben was on top of him trying to strangle the poor boy.

Newt swings a shovel at Ben's head and he is knocked off,

"Grab him!" Newt says as me, him and a few other gladers hold him down,

"What the fuck just happened Tommy?" Newt says with a small hysterical tone to it,

"I was out getting the Fertilizer, like you told me to, and he just came up behind me out of the blue and tried to attack me" he says swapping eye contact between Newt and the newly present Alby. All Alby does is look at the unconscious Ben and lifts up his shirt to see what I believe to be described as a Griever sting,

"In broad daylight?" Gally says with deep breaths looking between me and Newt, I just shake my head looking at Ben, the poor bugger.

"Put him in the pit." Alby orders. Me, Newt, and the 3 other gladers carefully carry Ben to the pit, the shank will already be in enough pain.

I sit with Jeff and Clint, watching them examine the sting, on the odd occasion I would help them, they were very kind and good at what they are doing.

After awhile, Frypan had finished cooking dinner and we left Ben in the pit. I would have sat with Newt but he was in the Homestead coming up with a game plan, he didn't show until a little later,

"Hey Love, how was working with the Med-jacks today?" He says coming to sit next to me,

"Hey, it was actually pretty good, I could definitely see myself doing that everyday" I admit taking another bite of the Lamb soup Frypan made, it was actually pretty good.

"That's good Love, now also, me and Alby have decided to put a 4th rule in place evolving around you..." he slowly says looking me in the eye, I just smile and take another bite of soup, 

"care to elaborate?" I ask with my hand over my mouth as it was full with stew, Newt just laughs,

"Well, since your the only girl, we thought it was, appropriate, to put in a rule saying that, basically, nobody can touch you without permission..." Newt says eating his soup as he goes, I finish off my mouthful with a smile, 

"Your too good to me Newt" I say putting my head on his shoulder, as always, it felt like it had been there before.

After dinner, the rumor spread around about the new rule, I didn't really care though, I knew if anyone did anything to me, Newt would handle it, I could rely on that.

Once we had both reached our hammocks, most of the boys where scattered among the glade, I sat down after scooting my boots off my feet and readjusting my dusty shorts.

Newt and I sat facing eachother just talking about how the Glade was going and how much I liked it here, and how we have a great relationship considering we met almost 1 week ago.

But nothing about Newt seemed new, his accent was familiar, his handsome looks I know I had seen before, what if we knew eachother prior to the Maze? It was possible, I mean it would make a lot of sense?
