After wandering around the glade for a while it was now dark  Mihno finally found me and took me to the Med jacks. Though the whole time he kept asking me why I ran away, and I didn't really have an answer. "Mihno for the last time I wasn't myself, I don't know why, something came over me, now just drop it" i yelled. "Fine, Newt should be in here" he stopped at a building before walking away.

I started going through rooms listening for voices until I fell upon one. I could seen from here Newts shaggy blond hair, his long lanky limbs sitting on the side of a bed while a darker skinned boy was working on his leg and another moving about in the room.

"There,now you are free to go" the boy said to newt "just don't go to hard on it" "yeah thanks, oh Charlotte" Newt said you could hear his voice lift at the name he went to stand but stumbled  "Newt-"I ran to catch him and land a hand on his shoulder and one on his chest. "Steady on" I reply "good that" he says amd I let go to stand by his side as we walk out of the room. "Thanks Clint and Jeff" Newt says rather loudly I give a nod to the two boys and exit after Newt.

"So did you hear about the bonfire in your honour" he adds "yeah Alby told me" "he didn't give you any trouble did he" "nope, besides what could you do, he is your superior" "true but I am second in command so I do have some voice" he says matter of factly and I give him a light push.

"I don't know how I feel about this" I confess "what do ya mean" Newt stammers "I don't know, its just that no one really likes me here, why have a party" Newt stopped his weird little hobbley walk and grabbed my hand making me face him forcing me to look him in the eyes, almost making me feel subconscious.

"Firstly love, it's a tradition for the new Greenie we have to celebrate and secondly, I don't hate you"

he looked right into my eyes and in that moment I was sure I had melted into a puddle on the ground, I felt heat creep onto my cheeks and managed a small smile.

You can't like him, I tell myself. It hasn't even been a day yet, you look at your hands cupped together, you need to get comfortable here before you even think about it, but, ugh his just so. I look into his brown eyes and am entranced. Snap out of it come on.
Just say something

"Thanks, I don't hate you either" I say smiling. He gives a wide grin back
"And if anything it's more fear than dislike" he adds taking a step on word again letting go of my hand. "Seriously" I add "well now that you sassed of the leader and have been pointing that knife every where" "and the ones that aren't are oogiling all over her" that wasn't Newt. We both look over our shoulders and see the boy Chuck.

"We're you eavesdropping on our conversation" I ask Chuck. Newt and I both giving him conspicuous looks. "Ugh no I was just" Newt and I look at each other before bursting out laughing at the boy. "Hey man it's fine" Newt says in between breaths. "Ably says it's time for everyone to gather for the bonfire and he wants to see you Newt" Chuck says and I'm honestly glad. I love hanging out with Newt but I hope Alby is going to speak with him about whatever was upsetting him earlier. "I'll take her off your hands" Chuck says gesturing to me "hey see you later okay" Newt says with a questioning look "of coarse" i reassure him. He smiles again before leaving me with Chuck. "Let's go Greenie" Chuck says funking past me headed toward the centre of the glade.

It was pretty dark now so having the torches flaming helped with my vision. Chuck then sat down on a log not far from where they were building the fire and watched the boys then Mihno came and sat next to him holding a large far .Mihno then patted the spot next to him gesturing for me to sit down with them. So I awkwardly slipped over.

"So Gre-Charlotte" he quickly caught himself "like any boys?" He questions easing his eyebrows for affect.

"I can feel my cheeks warm up but only for a second good thing he can't see in the dim light "really Min you sound like a ten year old girl playing truth or dare" I smartly retort

"I don't care and you didn't answer my question, do you like any boys?" 

"No , do you" I say raising one eyebrow and lowering the other earning a laugh from Chuck. "Whatever" he says sticking his tung out and I laugh at his child like humour.

"What are you all smiling about" I hear a annoyed tone of which could only belong to Gally. "Mihnos comebacks" I blankly answer. "Well yall need to move, your in my ring" "hum?" I say questioningly to realize we were in a pit of sand "Gally fights people" which openly made me laugh.Chuck whispers to me from behind as I have just now noticed he moved using me as a human shield. "Then why is this log here" Chuck says smartly before cowering being me again. "It's fire wood shuck face" I was about to say something back to Gally but Mihno cut me off "sure thing Gal" Mihno winked before pulling out his arms and leading us out and away from the builder. He stopped walking leaning his arm on my shoulder though I'm pretty sure we were the same height "why can't I defend Chuck". "And put Gally in his place, as if, you might be the dumbest Shank we've got". "Oh so it's dumb to stand up for what I believe in, if I don't, who will?" Chuck had wandered off by now running into someone else among the now arriving gladers.
Mihno tipped his head to the right lowering his brow in a some what mischievous way "Whatever you say, Charlotte" then backed away to go join his runner friends. Leaving me alone

I spent the next half hour pondering around some times taking part in conversations, or occasionally getting a cat call.

I finally decided to go sit down on a log far away from the fire and festivities of the other boys.

I took my shirt and untied it from my waist ,pulling the soft fabric over my arms as I feel the blades of grass against my sides. Sitting on my bum my back against the log and legs laying out with my ankles crossed right over left. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding in, this is too much. It's so hectic, being here, I keep freaking out. I don't really know anything and it's a weird feeling.
I can remember learning math, but who taught me, I can see my family eating Sunday roast but I can't remember there faces.

Then I can hear it, steps further away from me getting closer, an unsteady rhythm accompanied them, only belonging to one boy I knew. I turned round and smiled at him, the boy nearing my spot, I felt better just at the sight of him.













Hey so it's been forever, I'm not gonna lie to you this was written months ago I just realized I'd never published it so I hope someone reads it. Anyway I'm done exams now and have reports cards. Barely passing math and science. Which personally I think is all because of the fucking tosser who is my math and science teacher. Math I'm always on the cusp of failing but science I'm bomb at so how'd I get a 58% fuck knows.

Whatever I'm just happy summer is starting and I can write a bit more guys in really trying, stay tuned for tomorrow I think my skins fic will make its debut. Till then xx
