We woke up in the same position, him cradling me in his arms, except we were in my bed.

I got up, pushing his arms from around my waist. I quietly put on my bottoms, a white shirt and brown hard shoes and left the room.

I go down the stairs and tried to be quiet, which was hard because of those creaky stairs.

But that didn't last long, because when I reached the last step Minho was at the top of the stairs.

"Where are you going?" He asked groggily

"Getting a drink"

"Then why are you dressed?"

"Because I'm also going out" I grab a drink and walk out. I don't know why, but I walked to the forest. When I saw the biggest tree I started to climb. I don't wait till I see the top, looking around at the whole Glade.

I must have fallen asleep, I don't really know. But I hear my name being called. I know the voice, but I don't know why I don't want to go down. The person calling my name walked under my tree and sat down. "This shucking girl" I know that voice, so I look down and saw Minho.

I wish I hadn't, because when I shifted to look at him, the Branch I was holding onto to look forward, snapped. I fell onto another branch about six feet above the ground. This branch wasn't going to hold either. "What the..Skyler! Are you okay?" Minho looked up at me.

I glared at him. "Oh, I'm just fine. I only fell four shucking feet onto a branch that might snap!" I snapped at him. I suddenly felt a pain in my right arm. I lifted up my sleeve and I was bleeding. There wasn't much blood but the gash was big enough.

"Minho, Your have to catch me okay?" I look down at him. I look at my arm again and it's bleeding more, ruining my white shirt.

I look down and Minho positioned himself underneath me. "Okay, you can let go" And I did. I fell into his arms, which were able to catch me. He was strong, very strong. He looked at my arm, with a worried look. "I'm going to bring you to the med-jacks to get that stitched up" He stared carrying me. "You don't have to carry me, you know. I can walk perfectly fine on my own" He stopped to consider this. And he looked back down at me. "I know, but I like you being in my arms"

What? Did he just say that? My heart picked up speed. I smiled and let him carry me to the Med-jacks.

When we came out of the forest, I saw Newt noticed And he ran over to me and Minho.

"Skyler! Where have you been? We have been looking all over for you.. And why is Minho carrying you?" He said poking Minhos arm. Newt smiled at him and Minho turned red. Newt caught a glimpse of my arm. "Oh you better get that to the Med-jacks..."

"That's what we were doing" Minho replied. Newt started walking away, and turned around "Oh and Minho, I forgot to mention, you have to bring greenie on a tour tomorrow!" He said with a wink.

"Skyler! The greenie is Skyler!" I shouted back at him.

------------------------------------------------

After I got my arm stitched by two boys named Clint and Jeff, I walked back to Homestead. Before I walked in I hear a really loud screeching noise. I ran out onto the green to see what was happening. Gaps in the huge gray walls, that I never noticed before, was closing. But how? There were no gears or anything..Weird.

I walked into the Homestead and went to my room. As I get to the door I hear Minho and Newt talking. "Look, why don't you just tell her?" Newt asked Minho. There was a silence and finally Minho speaks "I do want to tell her, but I don't know how. I feel like it would get really awkward between us. Shuck man" I hear Newt get up and walk over to the door. I quietly ran to the top of the stairs. Does Minho like me? Well, he must be talking about me, there's no other girl in the Glade? I do like him. I really do, I just don't think I've taught about it much..

As Newt walks out I make it as I was just coming up. "Hello, Newt" I say with a smile. "Hello, Skyler" Newt replied smiling back. I walk into my room and see Minho sitting on the bed with his face between his hands.

He looks up when I close the door, and stands up. "How's your arm?" he asks almost straight away.

"Uh, Kinda sore, I guess. But I'll live"

He laughs. "What were you doing up there in the first place?"

"I...Don't really know, I just-" but I was cut short because Minho grabbed my hands, and held them in his. I winced at the pain, and he softened his grip.

"Sorry, Skyler I-uh I need to tell you something..." He takes back one of his hands and rubs his eyes. "I em Really like you. Like a lot" He looked me in the eyes. I was quiet, I didn't know how to reply to that. "Please say something, please"

I got his face in my hands, then our lips collided.
