WICKED is not Good

Newt

Frypan was still holding Eggy.

"DON'T EVER USE EGGY!" Frypan screams.

I nod afraid if I speak tears will come out.

He keeps yelling at me. After 10 minutes he dismisses me from the kitchen.

I nod, put my apron on the table and leave. On my way back to wherever I was wondering I bumped into Newt.

"I'm so sorry!" I exclaim.

He smiles, "It's fine Sierra. Hey! You look like you're about to cry. What happened?!"

I shake my head. "This is the second time I've cried since I've got here." As the tears pour down my face.

Newt embraces me, "There there Greenie. Everything's gonna be alright."

I wrap my arms around him feeling fine that I had someone to go to.

"I have a surprise for you." Newt smiles.

I look up at him. "You do?"

"Yes I do." He takes my hand and leads me to far end, of the edge of the forest. "When you came here I told Gally and the builders to build you a little cottage thingy. That way you have privacy."

I smile. "Really? Thank you Newt!" I jump back into his arms.

"You're gonna bloody break my neck." He chuckles, with some worry in his eyes. I let go of him and stare at my shoes.

He takes my hand again and limps next to me all the way to my built cottage.

"Oh Newt," I gasp. "Where's Gally? I need to thank him." I say looking around.

"He's sleeping. All the builders are, they were up all night."

"Oh okay."

I walk through the door, it wasn't that big. But it was just for me. It had a hammock, a small shower and in the corner was a toilet.

I take in the room. "Newt."

"You like to say my name a lot." He smiles.

"Well I don't know what to say. But thank you!"

Newt sits on the floor, "You're welcome." We stay quiet for a few minutes. "Can you tell me why you were crying?"

I sit on my hammock, "Well Frypan was yelling at me over his pan."

"Was it Eggy?"

"Yeah."

"He loves that pan, I got smacked by touching that pan."

My jaw drops. "He smacked you?!"

He nods.

I continue, "Then Minho made me cry. He said I couldn't be a Runner and that I had to work in the kitchen. Then I told him to go back to his Asian country and not be king of this hell."

Newt starts laughing. He clutches his stomach and falls on his side.

"What's so funny?" I ask.

"You're funny." Newt responds after he calms himself.

I sigh. "Yeah then Alby comforted me."

"Alby?!"

I nod, "Yeah."

"He's not supposed to be out of the bloody homestead! Stay here Sierra!" Newt says while getting up.

He jogged out the door, and I sat there alone.

Why me?! Why not some other girl?

I think to myself for a while.

If you don't wanna cry again, you have to toughen up! Start working with the builders, stand up for yourself.

I hadn't realized it was dark when Thomas came in my house.

"You know thinking can lead to dark things." Thomas whispered.

I look up at him. "Hey Thomas."

"What are ya thinkin' about?"

I shrug. "Things in general. Like how to toughen up and stand up for myself."

"Ohh. Have you seen Newt?" Thomas asks.

"He went in the homestead for Alby."

"Alby?!"

"What's the big deal about Alby?"

"He's crazy! He went through the changing and now he's lost it!" Thomas talks in a loud voice.

He runs out and I follow.

"You know Greenie you're not bad with keeping up with me." Thomas compliments me.

"Thanks."

We reach the homestead and Alby's screaming.
