Of All The Stars {Newt FanFic}

Chapter 4:

"You know I kinda Like it." Ella mused gazing at Gally's pink hair as he munched on a bread roll, his eyes rolling to the back of his head and Minho stiffled a laugh. "Oh Sure." He mumbled taking a moment to punch minhos arm. "Come on Gal, all is fair in love and war." Minho chimed throwing the table into another fit of giggles. The five sat in the back of a large cafeteria all around them were children in groups eating their dinner and chatting amoungst them selves. "I'm serious Gally, soon it'll fade and be like a light blondish-pink it'll be cool." Ella reassured him reaching over to take a bite of the apple on his plate. 

"There's Teresa." She added her eyes following the brunette girl as she made her way to a table sitting beside Sonya. "Wanna come say hi to her with me, tom" She added a smirk playing on her lips as all eyes fell on him. Thomas turned a deep shade of red as he stared at the girl "I'm good... besides I spent the day with her today." He added the last part with a smile as the rest of the group looked at him with curiosity. "So are you officially an item now tommy?" Newt chimed enjoying his friend blush shrugging at his comment. Thomas was never as subtle as minho was when it came to girls.  "Last year my friend after this, she won't even remember your name." Minho commented. 

Ella shivered beside Newt. She hated the mention of this being their last year. It reminded her of the reality behind the fake school.  It wasn't that she felt unprepared for the maze or that she was scared to die. It was the thought of being separated from Aris that scared her the most. Sure he'd be protected being the second golden boy and all but Ella was too used to being his gaurdian and the thought of resting that into the hands of someone else frightened her. And as she looked about the table her fear only rised. She had made the mistake of getting to close to those around her knowing in the end they'd all be separated.  She hated the thought of watching her friend suffer or nto watching since they'd all be in  different maze. The fear of not remembering them or not even knowing what would happen to them. It all came down to change. The world changed with the flare, and when she was 8 he life changed with it to. But now she was accustomed to her routine. 

She was dragged out of her thoughts by brush of Newts hand upon hers. She looked up to find him looking down at her with worry an expression she usually wore when the boys played to rough with eachother or when she couldnt find aris. "you okay?" He mouthed and Ella instantly nodded. Newts frowned grew. She watched as his eyes flickered to their hands for a moment Newt had thought about lacing his fingers through hers but finally decided he wasnt brave enough and slowly drew his hand away as she gave an encouraging nod. His fingers came to play at the little star charm on her bracelet the same one that matched Aris moon charm upon his. 

"Teresa would never forget me." he mumbled forking his mashed potatoes. "aren't you the shucking shank creating our maze." Gally mumbled. Thomas nodded. "well i'd never forget her." He added sheepishly as gally rolled his eyes. "Hey wheres Aris going?" Ella asked watching as her brother got up quickly rushing to the door. The rest of the group shrugged as she quickly got up to follow him. 

"Aris" She shouted following him down the hall her brother turned around to reveal a worried look upon his face. He looked fidgeted anxiously but paused for his sister. "whats wrong? where are you going?" she questioned. Aris anxiously rubbed his hands together. "They took Rachel, and i don't know where they took her, and She was so scared and i just-" He rambled forgetting to breath. "woah calm down okay?" She placed her hands on Aris shoulder he was almost her height now. "who took Rachel?" She asked. "The Gaurds." He replied worridly. Ella sighed in relief. "Aris she probably just needed a check up or something I'm sure she's fine." But Aris shook his head tears now streaming down his face. "No they know, they know and now their gonna punish her." He cried. "Aris what do they know?" "everything..." He whispered in a frightened voice.

"So when you gonna tell Ella you love her?" Gally question watching the girl rush away her hair whipping across her back. Minho smirked at Newt while Thomas stared from Newt to Minho to Gally. "who are we- OH NO WAY!!" He laughed slamming a hand down on the table. "figure you wouldn't see it golden boy..." Gally muttered. "Newt you like Ella?" He asked his voice growing louder. Newt frowned at thomas. "could you be any bloody louder tommy?" He scolded. "He doesnt like her he loves her very romantic." Minho mused winking at Newt. Minho kicked him beneath the table. It wasn't love, it couldn't be love, love was evil to Ella. He cared about her deeply, thought about her constantly and oh bloody hell it was a crush. A crush on his best friend. "It's cute if you ask me?" Gally chimed in smiling wickedly. "Yeah about as cute as your pink hair." Newt mumbled. "Whatever, At least I'm not in love with the groups Mother." Gally retaliated. Newt rolled his eyes. Ella had somewhat turned into the parenting figure of the group always looking out for the boys, scolding them from time to time, even patching up their cuts and scrapes. She was caring a trait Newt had admired much in her. "I mean I love Ella too, but she's kinda like our sister bro." Minho added. Gally and Thomas nodded their head in agreement.

"So you gonna tell her." Gally reiderated. "Last year, Newt you gotta tell her." Minho added. "Tell her what?" The group turned to see a chubby chuck standing at their table crumbs sprinkled about his shirt. "That Newt love Ella." Thomas smiled scooting over so his brother could sit beside him. "gross she's like my mom!" Chuck muttered. The table aside from newt erupted into a fit of giggles. Newt pushed his tray aside in disgust. "I don't love her." He mumbled again. "Love who?" Teresa asked as she wiggled her way to a spot next toThomas. "No one!" Newt insisted. "Ella" gally informed ignoring Newts plea. "How cute." She chimed.  "were saying Newt should just confess already I mean its our last year after this all will be forgotten...everything!!" Minho insisted. "Who know if you'll even see her again" Gally added. His comment brought a dark gloom upon the table as everyone fell silent. Thomas was visably uncomfortable about the thought while Chuck shook in fear. Teresa wrapped her arm around the small boy. "Don't you worry chuck, me and Thomas are working on the Maze and its not as scary as you think." She ressured him squizzing him tightly the boy nodded. "Isn't that right Tom?" "Huh?" Thomas blinked as if to be have been in his own world for a moment. "Yeah it'll be safe.." He mumbled returning to his food.
