In The Maze

Chapter 3

Newt's POV:
I am lying next to the most beautiful girl in the world. I can hear her gentle,steady breathing. She's sleeping. I hear her mutter something. I lean in close so I can hear.
"Newt..." She smiles in her sleep.
I roll over with a big smile on my face. I wake up with the same smile.

Emalee's POV:
I wake up to someone gently shaking my shoulder. "Emalee..." Says a familiar voice. It's Newt. My eyes flutter open. "Yeah?" I say yawning. "Time to get up." Says Newt. "The box is about to come with supplies and we need to eat breakfast first."
"Fine..." I say reluctantly. Newt just smiles. He helps me out of my sleeping bag and walks with me to the kitchen. Everyone I walked past had their eyes popping out of their sockets because I was only wearing an oversized shirt. I ignored them.
"We walk up to the counter and frypan hands us plates of eggs and bacon. I thank him and flash him a smile. Newt looks at his watch.
"The box should be here any minute." He stands up. "We will unpack the supplies!" He announces. Everyone nods and goes back to their breakfast. Minho stands up. " I'll come with."
We all walk over to the box in which I arrived just yesterday and waited for the supplies to come up.
I peer into the box. " wow that's a lot of stuff." I say. " well we have a girl Greenie now." Minho tells me. I nod and get to unloading.
There is a crate full of clothes neatly folded. I go through it.
5 pairs of underwear, 3 bras, 1 undershirt, 1 plain white short sleeve t-shirt, 1 plain black short sleeved t-shirt, 1 long sleeve grey shirt, 1 black and white horizontal stripe shirt, 1 navy tank top, 1 pair of dark wash jeans, 1 pair of denim shorts, 1 pair of leggings, 1 pair of overalls, 2 plain skirts, 1 dress with a faded floral print, 7 pairs of socks, 1 pair of sneakers, and 1 jacket. I also find a hair brush, hair ties and hair pins. I dig through the rest of the supplies and find my own silver hand mirror.
I notice something engraved in it. I look closer

FOR THE GIRL.

I smile. Maybe these so-called creators aren't complete jerks.
    I turn to Newt. " Hey Newt! Look what they sent me!"
He smiles and takes the mirror. He runs his finger over the engraving. Deep in thought. He hands it back to me and we finish unpacking in silence.
When we finish unpacking the supplies, Alby walks over. " Ready for your tour, Green bean?"
" Yeah!" I say as I get up and dust off my hands." I just need to change first." He nods in agreement. Newt follows me to the Homestead and guards the door. I change into the romper and pull on new socks. I decide to wear my combat boots. I brush my hair, and pin some of it out of my face. It wasn't really long enough to  tie back. I open the door and find Newt waiting.
     "Thanks Newt!" I said. He's been a big help. I kiss him on cheek and walk back to the box where Alby was looking over the supplies. I turn my head to see Newt and he's smiling sheepishly, looking at the ground holding his cheek. I turn back around. For some reason that puts a smile on face. I see Minho smirking at me and I send him a death stare.
     I walk over to Alby and tap him on the shoulder. " I'm ready now, Alby." He smiles and gestures for me to him. I follow Alby. " You and Newt seem to be pretty close." Alby says as soon as we get out of earshot. " Yeah." I say. " He's been really nice."
" Hmm." Alby says thoughtfully. We continue on the tour. He shows me the gardens, the animals, and where the medjacks work. "You'll start trying out for jobs tomorrow." He says to me. I nod in agreement. " But since your the only girl," He continued." We'll let you try out for a few jobs." I look at him in confusion. " It's to keep you safe." He explains to me."
    "Oh." I say. Safe from what? I wonder.
"What jobs will I be trying out for?" I ask Alby.
"Med jack, Track hoe, and Cook."
     " Okay." I say, I nod. " What will I do tomorrow?" I ask. " You'll work with Frypan."
I nod.
     When the tour is over, I walk back to Newt. He's kinda my friend right now, but I think he's really cute. I hide it, though because I don't think he likes me like that. " Hey Newt!" I say to him. He turns around and faces me. " I start trying out for jobs tomorrow!" I say smiling brightly. He matches my smile. " Which one?" He asks me. " I'll be cooking with Frypan."
He nods. " What other jobs will you be trying out for?" He asks me. " Med jack and Track hoe." I answer. " What's your job, Newt?" I ask.
He answers. " Track hoe and Second In Command." I nod. It makes sense.

Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
