THE ERROR (Newt Fanfiction)

Wonderful: Chapter 21

Hey! After this chapter, I'm going to stop updating for a while...Just because people are starting to read it more <3 comment when you're caught up.

Kayla stands there, in her pajamas, Newt gripping her hands.

She feels as if her heart had finally give out, like she had just died.

She knows she looks stupid.

She's half awake, she's just been kissed by her best friend, and he told her...He loves her.

Newt suddenly lets go of her hands, which had started to turn white in his grip.

He turns around and exhales, mumbling something under his breath, rubbing his eyes.

"I'm...I'm sorry-I didn't mean I just.."

Newt walks over to the trapdoor and opens it, climbing down.

She can hear his feet hit the grass and walk away.

Kayla's still standing there, her arms still up as if Newt had never let go.

"I..."

She let's her legs give way and she falls to the floor, hitting the wooden planks.

Kayla breaths in and out, mesmerized. 

The 30 seconds that had happened in...she can't even process what is going on.

Her boots sound on the boards as she tucks her knees to her chest, hands pressed against the planks on either side of her.

She's staring straight ahead, not even blinking.

Then, footsteps signal someone climbing up the ladder.

She gasps and blinks, turning towards the trap door.

It opens, and Minho appears in the opening, standing on the ladder.

"What just happened?"

She lowers her gaze to her knees, blinking slowly.

"I don't.....I don't even know..."

Minho climbs fully out, leaving the door open.

He walks over and sits down beside her, his back against the railing as well.

"Well, the whole Glade heard Newt scream he's 'bloody in love with you', and now he's somewhere in the Deadheads."

Kayla finally brings up enough strength to pull her hair out of her bun, and it falls down over her shoulders.

She runs a hand through it and gets up.

"He...I don't...What?"

Minho follows her movement and walks over to the trap door, starting to climb down.

"Well, if you're feeling better, tomorrow you're starting running again so you have today off. I'm extremely late for the Maze and I really have to go."

With that, Minho is down and running over to the Map Room.

Kayla swallows and looks down, starting to climb down the ladder. 

She reaches the second level, and then the first, and now she's on the ground.

Many Gladers stare at her as she walks over to the Homestead, some saying:

"Hey, hey, hey. We got some lovers."

Or:

"Well isn't it Newt's little girl."

Many laughs follow their remarks, though Kayla walks in silence.

She reaches the Homestead and walks inside, turning and going inside the bathroom.

She takes a long, cold, shower, and climbs out, using a towel to dry off.

Walking back to her 'sick' room, Kayla puts another towel twisted in her hair.

She wants to get out of these pajamas and into something a little more her.

Oh shoot, my shuckin' clothes are all under my hammock.

Kayla sighs, aggravated, and puts her pajamas back on, then walks out of the Homestead again, heading towards the Hammocks.

She reaches hers and grabs her basket and this time runs back to the Homestead.

Once she is in her room with the wooden door closed, Kayla opens her basket and dumps the contents onto the cot.

Two of Newt's shirts are in there, one a tan hoodie, the other a blue long sleeve.

She has three tank tops, two of them dark blue, and one brown, and she has her running uniform, then her running shoes, five hair ties, two pairs of white socks, her other bra, four pairs of black skinny jeans, and a black sweatshirt with no zipper and a hood attached.

Kayla doesn't want to wear Newt's clothes, so she puts on a pair of skinny jeans, the black sweatshirt, and her boots.

She dries her blonde hair and wears it down and straight, parted and flipped to the left, and she calmly exhales, then walks out.

Many Gladers stop working and turn to stare at her, no remarks made anymore.

She smirks and looks at her runner's watch.

12:30.

Kayla turns and starts heading towards the Food Shack, where Thomas is sitting eating a sandwich with Chuck.

She gets a lettuce and tomato sandwich from a very distracted looking Frypan, as he was constantly staring at her, and sits down across from Chuck.

He looks up at her, his eyes widening.

"Whoa..."

She smiles lightly, taking a bite out of her sandwich.

Thomas looks up as well, starting to blush.

"You...you look...that's...you....pretty hair today....you look good."

She laughs lightly and swallows her bite.

"Thank you."

A few minutes pass and Thomas speaks again.

"What happened after I left? Or...after Newt screamed he was in love with you."

Chuck laughs and pipes in.

"I heard they kissed."

Kayla gasps inside.

How did anyone know about that!

As if reading her thoughts, Chuck answers.

"Gladers are sayin Zart saw em' makin' out while he looked up from gardening."

Kayla puts her sandwich down.

"We weren't making out!"

Chuck looks shocked.

"Wait, you actually kissed!?"

Thomas slowly finishes his sandwich and Kayla gets up, leaving her lunch.

There's this feeling inside her, its happy, but sad...and she's angry, she feels loved but also terrible, she's confused... and frightened........

It's wonderful.
