-Girl Problems-

"Hey are you alright love?" Newt looked over to his left as he pulled a carrot from the ground. Robyn had lost a dare and as a consequence she had to work in the gardens with Newt for the full week. She acted like she hated it but deep down she loved every minute. She had to admit it was hard work pulling and picking food up all day but having the company of Newt and Chuck make it worth while.

"Yeah, i think so" Robyn wiped the sweat from her forehead. For the past couple of days, the glade had experienced some some sort of heatwave which affected their everyday work. Gladers were constantly having showers and naps throughout the day due to the heat making them sweat heavily and draining their energy.

"What do you mean, you think so?" Chuck patted his rosy face with his cream shirt.

Robyn lifted from the floor and patted the soil from her cream pants, "This heat is killing me and my stomach is aching"

"I think she's trying to get out of this work Newt" Chuck folded his arms and giggled.

"Slim it Chuck" Robyn playfully pushed him causing him to trip up slightly. Through the pain, she let out a short laugh before crouching back down beside Newt.

"Well have you eaten?" Newt gently asked.

Robyn sighed, "No i woke up too late"

"Why didn't you ask Fry for leftovers?" Newt spun his head around.

"I wasn't hungry"

"You're always hungry Rob" Chuck giggled beside her, making his way over to the apple tree.

Newt ignored Chuck's comment and placed his hand on Robyn's shoulder, "Go have a five minute break and get some food from the kitchen"

"Newt i'll be fine" Robyn continued to pick at the vegetables in the ground.

"Robyn" He said sternly.

"Newwwwt" Robyn smiled at the blonde boy.

"I'm being serious, go get some food"

Robyn slowly removed her hands from the ground and faced Newt, "You're amazing"

"And so are you" He returned the smile, before patting her on the back, "Also when you come back, bring some buckets of water. I need to plant some saplings"

"Of course" Robyn lifted from the floor, "I owe you one"

"Don't worry about it love"

——————-

Robyn made her way over to the glade kitchen, clenching her stomach as she walked over. The pain was getting worse by the second and it felt as if her stomach was about to blow.

"Hey Rob" Frypan waved from his station at the kitchen as Robyn neared. The pain in her face caught his eye causing him to rush over and to her, "Woah, you good?"

"Don't worry about it" Robyn groaned, "Can i just have some food? Anything will do"

Robyn slowly made her way into the kitchen, plonking herself down onto the stool beside the fridge.

"You had me worried this morning, i didn't see you for breakfast"

"I woke up late" Robyn pushed her hair back that was stuck to her face by sweat, "Me and Newt watched the stars last night"

"Oh i know" Frypan chuckled, "I heard you two laughing all night"

"Oh my god are you serious?" Robyn looked up at Fry with a sorry look, "I didn't know we was that loud"

"Don't worry about it" Frypan continued to rummage through the fridge, "It's nice to know you are having fun. A smile suits your face........Here we go. This is perfect for the heat"
