The month is almost over and soon we'll have a new Greenie. I'm both happy and sad; happy having a new friend and that the Gladers will stop treating me like a baby, but also sad because they'll focus more on the Greenie. I don't like attention, I just don't want them to forget about me.

I shake the thought from my head and continue working. Alby and the Keepers decided I was better suited to be a Builder. I'm not sure if they actually thought that or Gally just wanted me by his side 24/7, either way I'm actually quite good at it. I've already helped the others build a little shack for me. Gally didn't want me sleeping near any of the boys.

During the day I work and hang out with friends, but at night I sneak off into the Deadheads to read the books Newt gave me. I've discovered that I really LOVE reading. I get so immersed in the story, as if I'm in it. I squeal, smile, laugh and cry along with the characters...mainly cry.
Tonight I'm reading John Greens 'The Fault In Our Stars'. (Spoiler warning...sorta)

When I reached the end I was crying my eyes out. How could this happen? Why John Green? Why? I placed the book down and placed my head on my knees. The tears wouldn't stop. I hear rustling in the bushes around me and look up to see Newt.
"Hello, Love." The smile on his face is replaced with a look of worry. He rushes over to me. "(Y/N), are you okay? What's wrong? Are you hurt? Do I need to kill someone?" His last question makes me laugh. I show him the book and he settles. A sly smirk appears on his face. "You're as strange as ever, (Y/N)!" I rest my head on his shoulder, he rests his head on top of mine. He kisses my forehead and whispers in my ear.

"I love you."
"I love you too." I look up at him and our eyes meet. Our faces slowly inch together. I begin to close my eyes when a sudden bright light is shone at us.
"Busted!" I hear Minho sing. I look towards him, shielding the light from my eyes.
"Dude, you're blinding me." I call. He apologizes and moves the torch. My eyes adjust and I can see a very smug looking Minho with a fuming mad Gally behind him.

Oh No!
