When we finished the work around the garden, we went to help Gally with the weeding.
-Thanks for the help, but i could have done it myself.-Gally played capable.
-Don't be selfish, share your work with us!-I smiled at Newt and kept working.-What is next, Newt?
-You want more work? It's enough for today. We worked alot.-Newt responded.-I'm going to Alby for a minute.
-Okay I'll go to my hut, to see if there is something to clean, and to water plants. See you later!
-See ya!
On the way to the hut, I saw Thomas sitting alone by a huge walnut tree. He looked sad, so I went to him.
-May I sit down?
-Yeah.
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-Are you sure?
He was silent and looked at the ground.-I'm not okay since you came up.
-What..Why?
-Because you look like her.-He raised his head and looked into my eyes. He looked tired.
-Like who?
-Like Teresa. The clothes I had a fight with Alby about last night were hers.
-You said I'm first girl here.
-She was the first. That hut was hers.
-Where she is now?
-She is dead. She is buried in that forest over there.-He gestured to the woods I had asked Newt about earlier.
-What happened?
He was silent for a few seconds, then started talking-We are not really sure. Something just killed her. One day she just started acting weird. She was nervous and angry all the time. Then she just stoped talking. She layed in her bed and after that she never stood up.
-I'm so sorry for that. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want it.
-No, it's okay. I want to talk about her with someone. After her death, I didn't spoke for next two weeks. Also, when someone wants to talk about her, I try to avoid it. You remind me of her. Same short dark hair, black eyes and dark skin. That's why I wanted to talk to you about her.
-Well, whenever you want to talk about something, I'm here for you.-I smiled at him, and he smiled back.
-Thank you. It means alot for me.
We looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, until I broke eye contact and stood up.
-I have to go. See you later!-I turned and quickly walked to my hut.
-See ya!
All day after that, I was thinking of him. That eye contact made me crazy. I tried so hard to not think about him, but I couldn't stop thinking about his eyes and hair.
The way he was talking to me about her, I felt like he was talking about me.
Finally, the night came. We built a fire and had fun with dinner.
-Have you tried Gally's drink yet?-Thomas came up behind me.
-Gally's drink?
-Yeah, it's his recipe. No one knows it, except him.
I took a glass from Thomas's hands and drank it. In the same second I spit out that drink. It was disgusting, the only good thing was that it was cold.
-What the hell is this?!
-We don't know.-He laughed.
-How can you drink it?!
-It's not that bad when you drink it more. But don't drink it too much, it has alcohol in it.
-I won't.
Time passed, and I didn't pay attention to how much liquid I drank. Everyone was having fun, singing some unknown, their songs and clapping hands.

•Thomas P.O.V.•
I noticed that Sara drank too much when she got up and started singing with us, even though she didn't know the lyrics. She sang some of her own words, just followed our rhythm. She also took Gally's bottle and started drinking.
-I think it's enough for tonight Sara.-I went towards her to take her bottle, but she wouldn't let me.
-Why? It's fun, don't ruin the party!-She responded me with drunk smile on her face.
-It's really time for bed. Let's go.
-I'm not going anywhere.
-Don't make me carry you.
-Oh come on don't be boring! Drink with me!-She gave me bottle of Gally's drink.
-I won't repeat myself, Sara. Let's go.-I took it and gave it back to Gally.
