Escaping This Ivy Nightmare

Chapter 3

After that, days in the Glade seemed to pass by in a flash. Audrey got to know Clint and Jeff better, and learned everything she could about the different injuries they see in the glade and the treatments they have for it. But as the days continued to pass, her favorite bit was always when she gets to hang out with Newt, Thao and Minho. 

"And our shifts are finally over." Jeff sighed happily, high fiving with Clint before looking over at Audrey. "Just in time for you to scurry off to see the Runners come back again."  

"Yeah, what's it like getting to hang out with the second in command and Keeper of the runners anyways? You always leave before you tell us anything." Clint teased, watching as she rushed to pack up. 

"Newt and Minho are great, and also not that spectacular. If you want to get to know them, then make an effort... Now I've gotta go before I miss Newt leaving the Gardens. Bye boys" Audrey huffed, stuffing her pack before swinging it onto her shoulder and rushing out the door. "Boys." She muttered to herself.

"Boys? Don't tell me you've got your eye on one of them med-jacks." Newt appeared to her left, causing her to jump. 

"Maybe I do, got yourself a problem with that?" She laughed as they made their way towards the north door.

"I do, in fact." He laughed, throwing his head back, and grinning widely. Boys. "C'mon then, let's go get our runners."

"If I had to be stuck somewhere remote, without any memories or anything, this would be the place I would choose, and it would be with you guys. I love you guys."

"I love you too." He smiled, making eye contact with her. She stuck her tongue out at him. "Don't be rude."

"I am not rude, mister." She pouted as they reached the door. "How many minutes, I'm guessing six."

"Three." He countered, sitting on the grass. "Come sit, you've been standing all day love." 

Audrey nodded and moved to sit beside him, chucking her bag behind her. "Oh my gosh, sitting feels great. Now all I need is to get Clint and Jeff to stop asking about you and Minho every five minutes and my day would be perfect." She mumbled, shifting her bag a bit to use as a pillow as she laid down. 

"They ask about other guys in your life that often?" Newt asked, looking over at her. 

"No, I'm pretty sure they could care less about me. But you and Minho? I was wrong my first day, you don't have girls draped all over you, you have all the guys around here wrapped around your finger." Audrey said, shaking her head. "Its awful." 

"Aww, poor Audrey." Newt teased, and was about to tease her some more before he saw Minho round the corner. "I win, roughly three minutes."

"Hey slackers, what ya sitting around for? Don't got nothing better to do?" Minho asked, as he and Thao jogged out of the maze.

"I'm just waiting for you Minho, you know I can't stand not being around you all the time, it's really heartbreaking." Newt joked, using the sappiest voice he could conjure.

"Awww Newt!" Minho gushed, rushing forward and tackling Newt backwards so that Minho was laying on top of him.

"Get off me ya fat shuck." Newt groaned, trying to wriggle out of Minho's hold. Thao followed Minho's actions, and crashed onto the boys, causing them both to groan heavily. Audrey laughed as she watched the boys struggle, Newt being squished beneath the two bodies, while Minho's muscles seemed too exhausted from the day's work to push himself from the ground.

Newt lifted his good leg, simultaneously kicking Thao's foot from underneath her, causing her to roll to the side; while his knee connected with the area between Minho's legs, causing him to yell and roll to the side as well. This only made Audrey laugh harder.
