The rest of the jobs just fly by. I'm terrible at cooking, l definitely am not cut out for runner, l hate gardening, and my heart is still set on building.
Today's finally the day that the keepers decided my fate. My job fate, that is. Newt and l walk to breakfast making small talk about the jobs, and l can tell he understands how much l want to be a builder.
"Hey Fry! I'm still really sorry about dinner." l say sheepishly as we get food.
We sit down with Minho and Gally as we start to inhale our food. We stayed there, eating in comfortable silence, until Minho starts talking about the box and the next greenie to come.
"Since Charlie came up, ya think there could be other chicks? One for me, Newt?"
l sit there confused as Newt blushes, and Minho starts laughing. After we're all finished, Newt, Gally, and Minho get up to leave for the meeting.
"We're off, girlie." Minho says. "Hey, Gally, what job should we put her in?"
"l dunno, maybe gardening, she she seemed to work best at that, at least that I saw."
My face falls as they talk. Gally really didn't want me working with him. Only as they start cracking up, do l realize they're teasing me. Well three can play at that game. l walk in between the pair, whacking their heads as l pass them.
"Go on in, shanks. Tell me what l get as soon as it's over."
-skip a lil bit-
The boys walk out with unreadable faces. Immediately concerning me.
"Well? What did l get?" l ask excitedly.
They stand there, saying nothing. My face scrunches, confused. Suddenly, all four boys break into grins.
"You're now Charlie of the Builders!"
l squeal as l give Newt a hug, caught in the moment. We stay there, hugging for a minute before we awkwardly let go. l were his face upset for a moment before he smiles again.
"Thanks you guys!" They chuckle.
"Well nobody could argue with your skill."
"Oh l know Minho, I'm just that great." Thomas and Gally groan.
"No, Charlie. We don't need another Minho!" Thomas says playfully.
l look at Minho, grinning. After a second, l run at him, and he catches me on his shoulders.
"YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY MINHOS!" We yell.
"Oh my god. You two are gonna be the death of me." Thomas says, laughing.
Minho sets me down and l walk over to Newt and Gally, grabbing their hand. l look over to see Newt blushing slightly; and l smile to myself.
"Lets get food to celebrate my new job! It's dinner time!" l exclaim.
"Let's go you guys. It's time to feast!"
We start to walk to dinner, Minho and l in the lead. Turns out we're some of the last people to get there, arriving right before Frypan leaves to eat.
As soon as my butt hits the chair, Minho stands, as well as Newt, who grabs my hand and holds it in the air.
"She's been places! Charlie of the Builders!" Minho announces.
The boys sit silently for a second, before the builders start cheering and clapping. l can already tell they're going to become some of my favorite gladers.
Right before l fall asleep, l hear Newts voice.
"Congrats, Love."
