It was almost dinner time.

Minho and I were working hard to find a solution. Minho was working with the Chemistry book while I was trying to figure out how I would do the procedure.

"Stella come on, it's dinner time soon we have to go".

I ignored him completely. I was fully concentrated on the book.

"Stella," he said and he shook me lightly. That's when I looked up. "You have to eat. It is not good to skip a meal".

Only if he knew that I had to eat for two days.

"Hm, sure". I hesitated but followed. Both of us went to the kitchen and took our plates. We sat down on a table next to each other. On the usual table.

Right after we sat someone spoke. "Hey guys can I sit with you?" It was Nolan.

"Sure". Minho nodded and Nolan sat down across me.

"So Stella, where have you been these days? I haven't seen you".

"Uh—".

"She has work in the Med-hut". Minho replied before I could.

"Okay, what work?" He said chuckling now turning his face to me.

"Well—".

"Nolan I think you should only be interested in the Maze". Minho said looking up at the boy.

"Minho I can reply for myself! Jeez. Anyways there was an incident in the Med-hut so I've been working late". I said and I heard a noise from next to me.

It was Minho's fork. It had fallen off his hand. "You said only the commanders and the Med-jacks would know". He whispered.

"I don't find the point of not telling him though". I spoke normally.

Minho didn't reply. Now it was Nolan's turn to question.

"What happened?" He said leaning closer to me and talking with a lower voice. He knew that if Minho said something whispering it was serious. So he understood the assignment.

I started explaining what happened yesterday for the third time already. Again, I said everything in one breath. Nolan was staring with wide eyes. He didn't know what to say.

"Holy shit—you are not joking are you?" He said his eyes wide from shock.

"No, you shank. Do you think we would be joking about this?" Minho said. He seemed slightly annoyed. It's maybe because we promised not to bring anyone else into this.

Nolan ignored Minho's statement and looked at my plate. It was still full. "Stel, won't you eat anything?" He said now looking at me in the eyes.

"Uh, sure". I said and picked up the fork. I stared at it desperately. I just didn't feel like swallowing the food.

'Swallow now and throw up right after'.

It was the voice. Again. I listened to her. She was right. I would also feel better and Nolan wouldn't have to question.

I picked up some food and put it in my mouth. Meanwhile, Nolan was watching closely.

It was like he was about to understand that I had difficulty eating. I chewed. Still, Nolan was looking.

I decided to swallow. It hurt a lot. I did my best to finish more than half. And I successfully did.

Right after I found an excuse and went to the bathroom.
