Thomas is now a Gardener.

I didn't see him that interested, but I don't think it's a problem. For now at least.

It was almost time for dinner. The runners had returned from the Maze, and everyone had stopped working.

"Come on Stella, let's go eat. I'm starving!" Chuck said, dragging me there. I couldn't say no to him. I followed and soon we arrived at the kitchen.

"Hey guys!" Frypan greeted us with a warm smile.

"Hey Fry. What's for dinner?" Chuck said excited. I could only nod and smile. I liked Frypan. He was a nice friend. But I couldn't be excited around him when the topic was food.

"Soup with vegetables". He smiled in satisfaction.

Chuck's mouth slowly fell open. "Really?" He pulled a face.

"Oh yes, really". He giggled. "Here enjoy dinner". He said handing us, two plates with soup.

"Thanks". We said in unison. In different tones of course. I hesitantly grabbed the plate.

Both of us walked to a table, where Newt, Thomas, Minho, and Nolan sat. Aw, what a happy little family we were.

Chuck sat down next to Thomas and Nolan, leaving me to sit next to Newt and Minho.

"Hey, guys. Where were you?" Nolan said raising his eyebrows.

"We were talking with Frypan". Chuck replied, stuffing his mouth with soup.

I noticed Newt tense up next to me. He did that often when Nolan was around. Something has already happened between them, that I'm not aware of.

I glanced at Nolan. His gaze was now softer. He motioned at the plate in front of me.

Maybe if I pretend I eat, he will leave me alone.

With that thought, I picked up the spoon. I slowly swallowed the food. It was soup after all, so it wouldn't hurt much. I could think about it as if it were water.

Out of nowhere, Newt leaned closer to my ear, with a smile on his face.

"Why don't we go for a walk? Just the two of us". He whispered.

I turned around to face him, and a smirk formed on my face. "Why? Planning on getting me alone?" I whispered too.

He remained silent for a little but a smirk now formed on his face too. "Maybe".

I felt my cheeks get redder by the second. "Okay let's go". I said getting up.

"Uh—we will go for a walk". Newt said rushing next to me, leaving everyone behind with no explanation.

"How come you wanted to go for a walk?" I asked with the same smirk on my face. I don't know but tonight, there was a tension between us. Not a bad one.

"Why can't spend some alone time with my girlfriend?" He said stopping. He held my waist pulling me closer.

"And the others prevent you from doing that?" I asked raising my eyebrows.

"Well yes". He replied and our foreheads were in touch.

"Okay". I decided to be a little sneaky. I let go of him, walking to my hut.

I turned my head back to face him. "Are you coming?" I said and kept walking.

He seemed shocked. He quickly recovered and he followed me. Soon we arrived at my hut. Both is us sat down on the bed.
