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.

A week has past and the days were long and filled with tons of running and mapping the maze. Newt and I even started to run the maze together without Minho, and we were getting the hang of it. Time seemed to go by quicker when I was with him and it seemed more enjoyable. No one seemed to notice him and I so we just went on with our day normally. We agreed we don't have to keep it a secret from the others, we were free to be together.
That morning I just wanted to sleep in, but I was already late. I laced up my boots and walked off towards breakfast, Minho was there waiting for me. There was no sighn of Newt which was strange he was usually the first one up, and he was never late. He was always ready waiting for me to get my lazy butt up.
"Took you long enough shank." Minho said when I joined him sitting across from him. "You ready for another day of running?"
"Of course." I said looking around for Newt, it wasn't like him to be late. "Have you seen Newt, he's not usually late?"
"He's probably just busy." Minho said shrugging. "Come let's fill our packs while we're waiting." I nodded and stood up, we picked up our bags along the way, and Frypan was waiting for us.
"Oh look who it is." He said smiling at me.
"Hello Fry." I said returning a smile.
"Hello little one." He said, little one was what he always called me. I was one of the smallest Gladers and all of the boys my age or older were taller than me. I liked the nickname, it made me feel like he was my big brother. "I was just thinking about how I miss your help in the kitchen."
"Maybe if I could get a break from being a Runner, I would love to help again." I said filling my pack with his delicious food that everyone always makes fun of. I was getting a little worried about Newt this wasn't like him. "Fry, have you seen Newt?"
"No." He said shanking his head. He must have saw the look on my face cause he said, "I'm sure he is fine little one." I nodded. We finished with our packs and waited at the doors for Newt. Just before the doors opened Newt came walking towards us and I let out a sigh of relief. When Newt had almost reached us Alby had stood right in between us, preventing us from greeting each other.
"Newt you're not going." Alby said in a stern voice.
"But she can't go alone." Newt replied.
"She'll be fine, plus I need you here badly." Alby said placing a hand on Newt's shoulder.
"Wait what's going on?" I asked both of them a little confused.
"You're going in the maze alone today." Alby said turning towards me. "I need Newt here, but I want you to come back early so you don't make this shank die worrying to much." I nodded and smiled at Newt, I loved the way he worried for me even though he knew I was going to be ok. "See nothing to worry about Newt." Alby patted his shoulder and walked away. Newt looked at me and I walked towards him and gave him a hug.
"Be careful." He whispered in my ear.
"Always." I whispered back, I pulled away and kissed him on the cheek. The boom of the doors sounded, I pulled away from him and ran into the maze. Before I turned the corner I looked at him and gave him a reassuring smile, then kept running
