It had to be one of Rosa's worst days since she had been at WICKED. She had felt sick all day, almost throwing up after her treadmill sequence. She had gotten no sleep the night before and she was thinking about her parents more than she usually did. She missed them.

Then when she met up with her friends that night, Newt held an unexpected meeting.

"I have to tell you guys something," He said shortly after they entered the maintenance room, sitting down on a stool.

Rosa felt nervous, wondering what it was that he had to tell them.

"What is it?" Minho asked, a nervousness in his voice too.

Newt looked at each of them, and she noticed that his eyes turned glossy. This made her even more anxious.

"I'm not immune."

Rosa's heart sank. How could this be happening?

The whole room was silent for what felt like hours. It was agonizing.

"Well as long as we stay here then you're okay right? And then they will find a cure," Alby said, trying to make the situation better.

Newt nodded, but they all knew it wasn't that simple.

Minho tried to change the subject, but Rosa wasn't listening. She was too worried about her friend. What if he caught the Flare?

Minho and Alby had started talking about something else and Newt walked over to her.

"I'll be okay Rose." That's what he had started to call her. She liked it.

"How do you know that?" Newt grabbed her hand and shook his head.

"We don't have to worry about it right now alright. I'll be okay." She could tell he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and she didn't either.

"Let's go exploring," He spoke again, standing up and heading out the door like nothing else had happened.
