Spinning me around to face him, our lips touch and move in sync. Kissing Newt made all your worries go away like you were free from pain, but then reality comes and you realize you live in the Glade. Where all your troubles never go away.
Rose is se...

The next day I was able to work with Frypan as a Cook instead of The Builders, because I was not to stress my leg. I limped around the kitchen trying to cook something edible and pleasing to the Gladers, me and Fry finally cooked up a suitable lunch.
"I think you could be a Cook, Isn't that what girls do anyway?" Frypan asks as we clean up the kitchen.
"That's what mothers do Fry." I said with a smile. I didn't really want to be a cook but it wasn't the worst job. Tomorrow I try Track-hoe, which is where Newt works most of the time when Alby doesn't need him, and I can't wait to spend more time with him. I think I really like him.
The next day I woke up in my hammock my back was sore and I wanted to go sleep in a bed a again so badly. I got breakfast and sat down across from Newt and next to Minho who was hurrying to eat his breakfast.
"Hey Greenie." Minho said with a smile,
"You know I have a name." I said nudging his shoulder.
"Yeah, but I like Greenie better." He said nudging me back.
"Good morning Newt." I say smiling at him.
"Morning, today you're working with me right?" He asked, I nodded.
"Dang, it's late I better go." Minho said looking at his watch.
"What do you mean it's 7:00?" I ask.
"He means the doors will open soon." Newt answers and I nod. "We should probably get to work too." He said standing and I stand too. He leads me to the gardens, where we spend all day working, talking, and laughing. After the long day, I lay in my hammock just thinking about Newt's smile, he is very cute, he has certain things he does when he is nerves. I think he is nerves around me, that's a good thing though, that means he might like me back.
I spend the next week or so trying all the jobs and it is now time for Alby to chose one for me, they have called a Gathering. I stood next to Alby with all the Keepers around me, and the rest of the Gladers were sitting in chairs.
"I called this Gathering to assign Rose her job, all of us Keepers have thought well and hard about where you should go." He said turning to me. "Rose you have skills to be everyone of the jobs, except Slicer. You will have a special job of being the girl of the Glade and do all the jobs when you are needed." I smile I was not going to be stuck doing one thing I could do what I feel like doing. I look at Newt and he has a smile on his face too, like he is happy. "You'll maybe even become a Runner. Alright everyone's demised."
Everyone started to shuffle out of the room, I was happy with my new job I practically get to be like Newt who is the second in command.
Everyone was almost out when Alby touched my shoulder, "You can thank Newt for that decision he really pushed for it." I blushed a little, Newt wanted me to be able to choose, I think I like him even more now.
