The Moon. (Newt fanfic)

Chapter: 7

That morning I woke up with someone pounding on my door.

"What!" I shouted.

"Get up!"

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Why do you want to know?"

"So, I can carve your name into your grave!" I shouted. I was definitely not a morning person.

"Okay! Okay! I surrender it's Minho! Get up, your gonna be late for training!" He said.

"I'm up!" I yelled back.

Today was the day. I knew it! Today I would prove to Newt that I was gonna be a runner. I got up from my bed and changed into a red short sleeve v-neck and some skinny jeans. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was messy. Yikes! I combed through my hair with my fingers and was satisfied when I was done.

I opened my door and walked out. When I went to the kitchen Minho was already there.

"Morning princess!" He said.

I replied with a groan and he chuckled. Beside him was Newt. I walked up behind him because he didn't notice that I had walked in. He was focused on getting his food and placing it in his bag. I carefully ducked down and then jumped up behind him poking him. He screamed and his bag and everything in it went into the air.

He turned around and Minho was on the ground laughing and I laughed too. Newt just stood there looking annoyed.

"Really?!" He threw up his hands.

  Minho and I were still laughing. I stopped though when I heard a grinding noise. I snapped my head towards the doors that were opening on the North Side.

"Well that's my cue." Newt said.

I noticed that he had cleaned up his stuff. He was now running toward the doors. I looked at Minho and he was smiling.

"What?!"

"Nothing. Nothing at all." He said, smiling and shaking his head.

I ate my breakfast in silence. I had a bacon sandwich and then met Minho at the doors of the glade. He had a black stop watch that he was holding.

"So, what do I gotta do?" I asked.

"Well I decided that it would be better for you to not go into the maze, so you need to run 5 laps around the glade and then come back here." He said.

I raised my eyebrows, "Really? Your just making this easy for me."

"Well then you better get going princess." He said.

I ran the 5 laps and came back to him, I was breathing heavier than I was when I started, but nothing I couldn't handle. Minho had a look on his face. I didn't know what kind of look it was, but he seemed... surprised.

"What?!" I asked, my hands on my knees.

"That was faster than my laps." He said.

I smiled. I knew that he was super fast, fastest in the glade even, but me beat his time no way! I look back up at him.

"50 push up's right here right now." He said.

"Okay."

   Finally at the end of the day Minho let me go and cool down, as he went to speak to Nick. I sat down on the ground by the tree's and played in the dirt.

"Hey, Luna." I heard a voice say.

  I looked up and saw that it was Newt. Of course it was Newt. He gave me a warm smile and he sat down by me.

"Look I'm sorry about yesterday. It's just that, I couldn't bare the thought of you getting hurt and I've seen things in the maze that would give anyone nightmares. So, tell me honestly, do you think you could be a runner?" He asked.

  I thought about it for a moment. I thought about today. How I felt when I ran and how it felt when I wasn't doing anything. I needed to be a runner. I had to find a way out. I looked at him. His eyes were filled with fear. I nodded.

"Yes. Yes I do. I don't care what it takes as long as I'm running in that godforsaken maze." I said.

"Okay, so it's settled. I have a new running partner." He said.

  I snapped my head to look at him. I smiled and hugged him. I let go though when he did nothing back.

"Um, sorry." I apologized.

He chuckled, "It's alright, love. Come here."

  He held his arms open and I layed in his arms. It felt so natural. His arms were so big and strong, I felt like an ant in them. I layed my head on his chest and closed my eyes. It was getting late, but I didn't want to move.

I felt my eyes getting heavy. Sleep. Sleep is what I needed. I closed my eyes. Just a few minutes couldn't hurt, right? I was so warm and comfy in Newt's arms. I tried to fight it, but I couldn't, I drifted off to sleep.
