Paradise (Newt X Reader Book 5)

- Set Sail -

"Today, we set sail across the ocean on the very well named S.S. Minho!" Minho began, the rest of us grunted. We didn't want to call the raft that but Minho was getting unbearable and he refused to go so we gave in. "We may die! But we will die knowing we tried!" Minho carried on puffing his chest out and putting on the poshest voice he could. "We-"
"Minho! Get your ass on this bloody raft or I swear we will leave without you!!!" I yelled to him. "But I was giving the people my speech!" He replied sulking. "I don't give a damn about your speech. MOVE!" I yelled again, "uh well yeah bye guys." He said and got on the raft with us as we dug the oars in the water and pushed us out to sea. The plan was to take turns, me and Thomas were on rising duty first which I was totally ok with.
"This is nice huh guys?" Minho said laying down and putting his legs on Brenda, she was too busy looking at Thomas to notice. "I can't believe i have to put up with you on this bit of wood for god knows how long!" Newt piped up and everyone laughed because he was right. Minho was going to be a nightmare. I don't think we prepared ourselves for dealing with him!

After 2 hours we swapped. Minho and Newt were rowing now. I looked at the crystal clear water and saw silver schools of fish swimming just below the surface. I rested my hand gently on the water so it wouldn't effect the rowing and it was cool to touch but it was needed. The sun was super bright in the sky and it was so hot. We brought enough to food and stuff for a few days at sea, I assumed that's all we would need but as I looked around and followed the horizon line I could see nothing, no sign of land anywhere.

We stopped around late afternoon and ate. I sat on Newt's lap for a while after with him just holding me, it was nice and warm seeing as the air was getting cooler as the day went on. We had bits of wood to make torches so that we could see at night so it wouldn't be as scary. "Brenda and Jorge, you ok to do a few hours tonight?" I asked. They smiled and nodded. "Ok so wake me and Thomas up when you get too tired to carry on and we will take over ok?" I said smiling, they nodded again.

"Greenie, can you take over?" Jorge whispered as he gently shook me, I opened my eyes and saw the orange sky, it was sunrise. "Sure" I said with a hoarse voice. Me and Thomas stood and rowed the raft further towards the horizon. "It's beautiful isn't it!" Thomas said looking at the yellow ball rising in the sky. "Yeah, it's definitely a picture" I said taking in a deep breath through my nose. "What do you think we'll find? If we find anything?" He asked.

"I don't know Tommy, I really don't know"
