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...

My eyes fluttered open when I heard Alby's stern voice yelling at Newt and I. My back was pressed against Newt's chest and his arms wrapped around my waist. His face was berried in my neck and my cheek pressed against his forehead. I didn't quite catch what Alby had said.
"Five more minutes." I heard Newt mumble through my hair, I was guessing Alby told us to get up.
"It's already late, you shanks better get up." He replied sternly.
"No Alby." I replied closing my eyes again. He let out a loud grunt and with a lot of force our hammock flip upside down. I landed on the ground on my stomach with Newt on top of me, he broke the fall with his hands trying not to crush me. I turned over so our faces were just inches from each other.
"This is one way of saying good morning." Newt said smiling at me and I let out a small laugh.
"I expect to see you two at breakfast in five minutes." Ably said walking away from us. I returned my gaze to Newt, he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. I kissed back putting my hand through his hair.
"We should go before Abby cuts our bloody heads off." He said standing up, extending a hand to help me. We made our way to breakfast, and joined Charlie, Frypan, and Zart who were usually the last people to eat.
"Did you enjoy your cuddle last night." Zart asked, once we sat down, with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah we did." Newt said not playing their games, I wrapped my leg around his and he placed a hand on my lower back.
"Little one?" Fry asked looking at me.
"Yeah, Fry." I said returning his gaze.
"If you don't mind I need help in the kitchen, and you're the best Glader at the job I know?" He asked me.
"Of course I'll help as long as you don't take the day off." I said, I loved helping Fry he always was kind and didn't tease me about Newt.
"Thanks, meet me in the kitchen in ten." He said leaving the table, I nodded. I turned my attention to Charlie, I realized I hadn't talked to him in a long time.
"Hey Charlie, how are you." I asked.
"Me? Oh, I'm fine." He said with no enthusiasm.
"Really you don't sound fine to me." I said.
"You don't have to worry about me." He said.
"What do you mean." I asked I was generally curious about him.
"I mean I'm fine, nothing to worry about." He said giving me a shy smile, I returned it. He sighed and stood up walking away.
"I wonder what's wrong with him?" I asked no one in particular.
"I'm sure he's fine, just a little jealous." Zart answered.
"Jealous of what?" I asked him, I didn't know what he was talking about.
"You." He answered, I raised my eyebrows asking for an explanation. "He's jealous because you spend your time with Newt and not him anymore. I mean your the only girl in the Glade and your like his mother, jealousy is what almost all the boys feel towards you." I never thought of it that way, I mean I have noticed that all the boys stare and stuff, but I never thought they were jealous.
"Well, if they expect good night kisses, then they're going to be disappointed." I said. "Only Newt and Charlie get those." Zart laughed and stood up walking away. I looked at Newt who had stayed quiet the entire time.
"What?" I asked him as he stared at me.
"Nothing, just looking at you." He said and I blushed a little. "I better get to work." He said standing up, his kissed my cheek and walked towards the gardens. I wonder what he was thinking. I stood up and walked to the kitchen, Fry had his arms filled with ingredients.
"Oh great, can you grab those onions?" He asked, I picked up the onions and placed it on top of his pile. He tossed all the ingredients into a pot filled with water.
"Is that how you're really supposed to do it?" I asked, it looked like he just tossed the entire kitchen into the pot and turned on the stove.
"Trust me it'll be good, remember I'm the expert." He said smiling. I smiled back doubting his experience a little.
We worked all day trying to make Fry's contraption tasted etiquette. We served Chicken for lunch, but the soup was what Fry was saving for dinner I guess. So just before the time when the doors closed I stood hovering over what Fry called soup and stirred till my arm would fall off, and just kept stirring.
"Boo!" Someone screamed in my ear, I jumped so high with a start. The towel I was holding in my hand had touched to flames of the stove and the tip was on fire. I hastily smacked the towel on the ground putting out the fire. I turned around to see Minho doubled over laughing at my frazzled state.
"Minho, you jerk!" I yelled at him and he laughed harder. "You almost caught my face on fire!" He just kept laughing so I grabbed the towel and started beating him with it.
"Ok... ok!" He said through his laughs.
"You should be glad you aren't Gally or I would have stabbed you." I said to him as he backed away from me.
"What did you say." My eyes widened as I turned around to see Gally standing there. He looked so angry like he was reading to pounce on me.
"Run Rose!" Minho yelled laughing again. I did what he said, I ran and I could hear Gally chasing after me. I smiled, he was never going to catch me. I ran through the Glade dodging tree and maneuvering around objects. I spotted Newt watching me run from Gally with a quizzical look. I turned in his direction and hid behind him watching Gally stopping in front of us panting.
"You should be glad you have Newt, or you would be dead." He said through his deep breaths.
"I should be glad you're a slow runner." I said laughing.
"You'll regret this Rose, you'll see." He said walking away.
"I'm so scared." I replied as he walked away. Newt turned to me.
"That was great." I heard Minho say through his laughs, walking towards us.
"It's your fault Minho." I said scowling at him.
"You should have seen your face." He said laughing again. "Priceless."
"You almost set me on fire!" I said.
"What happened?" Newt asked next to me.
"He scared me to death, almost setting me on fire." I said. "Then I beat him with my towel and told him if he were Gally I would've stabbed him. Gally heard it and started chasing me. Good thing I was a Runner."
"Ah, that sounds like Minho." Newt said smiling.
"I should scare you more often, Rossy." Minho said with a huge smirk.
"Don't call me Rossy. That sounds like something a grandma would say." I said, Minho and Newt started to laugh.
"Now I am definitely calling you that." Minho said.
"ROSE!"I heard Fry scream from the kitchen. "YOU MADE THE SOUP BURN!"
"Oh no, I better go." I said running towards the kitchen with a smile on my face.
