Girl grennie

Chapter 6, Choices

~Time skip, nearly a month~

(Your pov)

Time flies in the Glade and I almost don't notice I have almost been here a month. Boys are sweet and less pushy than earlier. I feel like I really belong here and help boys in every way I can. Minho is all good again after the cut incident and runs in the maze for couple days now. At first I was skeptical to let him, but his wound healed really well so we let him go.

Yesterday I was helping builders with walls building and today am helping in the garden. After dinner I helped Newt taking down an old tree stamp with Zart to make the garden bigger since more gladers are arriving and we need more food to grow. I hitted the tree root with a machete and my hair was getting in the way. I stopped and exhaled pulling it back and behind my ears getting down on my knees again digging up more dirt getting am better entries. It was hot in the Glade and working in the sun really makes you hot. I hitted the root couple times more and a hand on my shoulder made me stop again. -Rise up, Newt said warmly and I did what he asked for. -I can do it, I said stabbing the ground getting the machete stuck. -I know, but you should take this, Newt said reaching into his pocket and it was a homemade hairtie. It was made out of couple plastic tires with a thin dark blue material string around them so they would stick to my hair.

-The last one you had broke so I made this one. It's not the same, but better than nothing, Newt said handing me it and I did have literally one hairtie and it broke after the second week. I used it by tying it together, but that broke as well. I smiled at Newt and pulled my hair into a high ponytail getting hair up from my neck feeling it got much cooler. I tied the tie around and this one felt much stronger than the one I used before. It was tight and strong not letting my hair slip away. -Thank you so much, I said happily and Newt picked up my machete. -Now get back to work, Newt chuckled smiling and I smiled back warmly taking the machete from his hand. -Sure thing, I said with a small smirk and Zart cleared his throat making us look back at him. -Liz, Jeff swang his arm for you, Zart said throwing his head back towards med-hut and it was a sign he needs help. -What now? I asked myself worried and dropped the machete down on the ground walking pass Newt picking up my med-jack bag small running towards med-hut.

I looked at Zart with a risen eyebrow and he sat down on the ground while Liz rushed to med-hut. -What? I asked picking up the machete and got down on my knees. -I don't have anything against you two being all sweet and stuff, but it would be less annoying if you did upgrade to girlfriend boyfriend without the tiny space between it, Zart said resting his arm on his knee. -Annoying? What you. -You like each other. It's impossible to no see it so it's too obvious for you to see. Ask her out, Zart said seriously cutting me off and I sat on the ground too. -Like how? We hang out all the time, I said shrugging my shoulders. -As a date, not a friendly hang out, Zart said looking at med-hut before back at me. -A date? I asked still confused rubbing my neck. Butterflies started dancing in my stomach again and the heat in my body didn't have enough time to cool down making me even warmer than a second ago.

-You slowly take things further. Am not saying you should get married tonight, but get off this small flirting stage and get to real business, Zart said smiling. -Oooo, what business? What did I miss? Minho asked running up to us catching a small part of the conversation. He ran up to us being sweaty and dusty because he came back from the maze. -Nothing, I said rising up to my knees and continued on what Liz did. -Newtiz, Zart chuckled and I looked up stopping to hit the root. -Pardon? I asked confused and Minho with Zart exchanged devilish looks. -Newt and Liz. Newtiz, you know because you probably would be top, Minho said sassy sitting down on the ground too. -Or it can be Linewt, whatever you prefer, Zart laughed while my cheeks started feeling warm. -Let's make couple things clear. Am top, this is ridiculous and I don't want to rush, I said seriously making boys burst into laughter catching other gladers attention. -I knew it! Minho laughed pointing at me and Zart sighed dropping his head. -Knew what? I asked not getting what was so funny. -Oh you know, last bonfire was a lot of fun. Couple bets got made and I won fifth in a row! Ha losers! Minho cheered and my stomach twisted inside. -What bets? I asked bitterly rising up to my feet. -Relax shank. Losers wash the winners clothes for a month and now I got half a year free from dirty laundry. Don't take it wrong shank, it's just a joke and nothing bad is happening, Minho said calmly and I exhaled heavily being fed up with their interest about me and Liz. I do really like Liz and wish Alby did lift up the dating rule, but it's not an opportunity for a bet and he won't do that.
