"Hey love"
"Hey Newt"
I gave him a hug when he sat down
"You look heaps better"
"Why, was he sick?" Gally blurted in
"Go hit a hammer on your thumb or your foot but your face is much preferred"
Gally gave me a cold stare, but it was only fair.
"Shut up shuck face"
With that, he went back to building more rooms with the other builders.
There was a long awkward silence until Newt spoke up.
"I know you don't like being a track-hoe"
"Well I have my preferences, but I love working with you"
"Well, what is it?"
"I want to be a runner, I don't know why but I just fell like that's the job for me"
"Well I don't know, if you do become a runner you'll be the first girl runner, we'd have to get the idea through Minho, then Alby and then we'd have to hold a gathering" it almost sounded like he was trying to talk me out of the idea in the faintest way
"Just for a career change?"
"Well an easier way would be to prove you've got the skills of a runner, so they'd have to think about it"
"So much work!"
"That's life! You gotta work for what ya want"
"Hey"
I looked up
"Hey green bean" she smiled
"My names Mia"
"Hey Mia"
"Shouldn't you be with Winston?"
"Yeah, but I don't take blood that well so..."
"I don't wanna know the rest"
"Knowing Winston, he's gonna look for you" Newt casually added
"We could go to the deadheads for a little"
"That's fine" Newt kept getting into the conversation one way or another
"Let's go then"
I stood up and led the way into the woods
We stopped at the lake and sat on a log
"Do you like Newt?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I saw him kiss you, at the bonfire"
"Well of course I do-
I heard a twig snap in the distance, but shook it off
