A/N~ I'm not very good at keeping
secrets;)
"Wake up shank." I groan and put my pillow on my head. "What Minho?" "Your job gets decided today!" "Great." "I know right?" Suddenly my arm feels like it's getting tugged out of my socket. "OW!" I yelled. I jumped up and glared at him. "Slinthead." "Shank." "Slinthead!" "SHANK!" "SLINTHEAD!"
I glare at him. "I need a shower." "What?" He seems confused by the sudden change of subject. "Why?" I roll my eyes. "I'm not going to have this talk with you." I walk out of the door and knock on Newts room. He answers, hair messed up and rubbing sleep out of his eyes. "Mornin'?" I laugh. "Newt, I need some extra clothes and someone to guard the bathroom while I shower. "So you come to me?" "Well I can't trust him." I point with my thumb at Minho over my shoulder. "Shank."
~*~*~
I am now wearing Newts clothes. Not the clothes he's wearing currently, don't get me wrong, but some of his smaller sizes. Remind me to ask for clothes from the box. I'm in a slightly baggy light blue tank with some also slightly baggy black capris. Newt told me he'd hated them anyway. He quickly corrected himself.
~
"I hated those anyway." I looked up at him in mock hurt. His face blushed as red as the apple he was eating. "Um, I didn't mean it like that, I, I meant it didn't look good on me, you look totally hot, shuck, that was bad too, uh-" I cut him off, laughing slightly. "I know what you meant stupid." Then I hugged him.
~
I sit again in my beloved chair in front of all the boys curious eyes. "So you shank," Alby stood up and looked at me. "We have decided your job. You will start working immediately. Will the chosen keeper please stand?" I see movement to my right and look to see Clint standing up. "You're with me." I smile at him. He smiles back. "Gathering dismissed."
~
"Goodbye." I stand with Minho and Newt in front of the doors. "Be safe." Newt looks at me ,grinning. "Sure." I shove him in the arm. "Shut up." Minho makes kissy noises. I shove them both into the maze. "Get out of here you shanks." I can still hear them laughing as they run down the gray corridor and split up. I feel a tug on my arm. "Hey Chuck!" I spin to greet the boy. He smiles, looking delighted to be wanted around. Poor kid. "Let's eat, I'm starving." I laugh at him. "As always Chuck."
~
We sit at a picnic table, laughing so hard milk comes out of Chucks nose. People give us strange looks, but we don't care. I reach for another piece of bacon only to find my plate empty. "Ugh. No more food?!" I fall dramatically off of the bench. "What shall we do?" "This." Chuck grabs our plates, throws them in the trash and starts to drag me toward the homestead. "It's lots of fun. trust me." "Ok, ok, but it'd better be quick, I'm a grown woman, I have work." He snorts.
~
Well that went well. Thanks for the good first impression Chuck. Apparently "fun" involves scaring random people going to the bathroom. Today, the random person was Jeff. I think he's still mad.
Anyways, I'm currently being taught how to pull a splinter out of someone's foot. A lot harder then it looks people. I say goodbye to the glader and close the door. "Ok Greenie, lunch break." I look at Clint surprised. "Already?" He nods, puts down his clipboard, and leaves the room. I follow him to Frypans and ask him of he can put my food in a paper bag. "Sure thing Miss." He gives me a goofy grin and hands me a paper bag. "To-Go order for Miss Elizabeth."

I'm sitting in the corner of the deadheads, eating my turkey and cheese sandwich. Im enjoying the peace and quiet when two figures suddenly plop down one either side of me. I jump up startled to my feet. "Whoa, hold your horses." I'm tugged back down. On either side of me sit two identical boys, only one has freckles."Didn't mean to scare ya." They both say at once. I can't help it, I laugh. "Twins?" They nod at the same time. "Names Min." No Freckles holds out my hand to shake." I take it. "Alex." Freckles says. I give him a fist bump. A thought suddenly crosses my mind, a weird thing to think of while sitting in between two twin boys I just met, but I ask anyway. "How old am I?" They don't question my randomness.
"About sixteen or seventeen." I nod once. "How did you find me?" "We usually walk back here, it's nice." I looked at the one who talked." Oh, crap, I already forgot his name. I snap my fingers, hoping it will help. Min. "Min, how long have you been here?" "Five months." "Alex?" "Six. And did you forget Min's name back there. Don't pretend we didn't see you snapping your fingers." He snaps his in front of my face and I giggle. "Pssshhh, what? Nooo, never!" We laugh.
~
"So I was just in the bathroom, doing my business, when Chuck comes and scared the ever-living day lights outa me!" I laugh. "Min, trust me, I was just pulled into that today, and now I got my new boss, the Jeffster, all mad at me!" Alex and Min laugh. I like people who laugh at my problems. It seems to make a person. I suddenly feel the wall moving behind my back. I sit forward. "Door closing time already? Good thing I remembered I need to go back to my MedJack job before we sat here forever!"
I had almost missed the rest of the work day when Alex pointed out Clint calling me.
We came back here as soon as I was done though. Then we sat here all afternoon just talking and getting to know each other. Random things like Min's favorite food is cake and Alex's is bananas. That's what I love about them, so irrational and unpredictable.
I hear a sudden rustling in the leaves and Newt and Minho appear. "Elizabeth? Where the shuck were you at dinner- Oh." Newt stops. He glares at Min and Alex. "Why are you with them?" I see an emotion in his eyes I can't place. Anger? Fear? Jealousy! Newts jelly! "Hey, Newt, chill! It's just your good ol' buddies, Min and Alex!" He glares at them. Then looks at me. "Bedtime Elizabeth." I could tell a lecture was coming.
~
"What the shuck Elizabeth? I was getting all panicked and worried when you didn't show up to dinner, and then I go into the deadheads and find you alone with two guys?! Explanation?" I sigh. "Newt, why are you acting like this? I can make friends you know." "You looked like more then friends to me." I take his hand. "But we aren't. Why are you so worried anyway?" He looks sheepish. Then it disappears. He looks me in the eyes. "I like you Elizabeth." I smile. "I like you too Newt."
A/N~ Hey shanks! Hope you liked the chapter. I just wanted to let you know I try to update a lot, but my chapters just are a little long to write very quickly. Keep on swimming!
