The Moon. (Newt fanfic)

Chapter: 10

  I woke up that morning with my watch (that had come up in the box a month ago.) vibrating. I checked the time. It was time to get ready to run today. The memory's of last night filling in the empty slots in my mind. I looked for a long sleeve shirt with the clothes the creators sent. I couldn't find any. I sighed. I decided to see if Newt had any.

I knocked on the door and held my arm behind my back trying to make it more natural. I knocked a few times before the door swung open and there stood a shirtless Newt. I backed away and with my good hand I covered my eyes.

"Um... um, sorry I'll let you put a shirt on." I said, stepping away from the door and to the side. I felt heat go to my cheeks. I hadn't seen anything... well except his bare chest. And maybe a few sets of abs.

"Sorry. Um, what do you need!" He asked, stepping out of his room with an orange tank top. When I saw him I felt something in me go down. Was that disappointment? No, it couldn't be!

"I'm so sorry, um... do you have a long sleeve shirt I could borrow?" I asked, looking down at my feet, with my arm behind my back.

  He looked at me curiously, I hated to do this, but I didn't want anyone to know. They would hate me, but no more than I hated myself, though.

"Yeah sure, give me a sec." He said, going back to his room. I let out the breath I was holding. He came back out with a tanish white hoodie.

"Will this work, love?" He asked.

"Yes, thank you. I'll leave you to get ready. Doors open in thirty minutes." I said, leaving and going into my room still hiding my arm.

"Hey, Luna?" Newt asked, as I was getting ready to walk into my room.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Why do you need a bloody hoodie?"

I paused before I spoke, "I just want to cover up today. I feel cold." I looked at him. He didn't look convinced.

"Cold? Come on! Here? In the maze? Love your gonna have to come up with a better lie, than that." He said. I stared at him. I thought hard about what to say. Finally, I knew what to say.

"I- uh, well I've started to feel... uncomfortable." I said, looking at my feet, it wasn't all a lie. I was uncomfortable wearing clothes around all of these boys. I was weak after all.

I looked back up and saw Newt looking puzzled. "Has somebody made you feel this way? Have they hurt you? Was it Ben?"

"No! I mean-yes! Kinda! I don't know!" I said.

"Well if it was Ben, then you should know that he was put in the slammer after you ran. Oh, by the way! Where did you go, after that?"

  I took a deep breath and released it. "Can we talk about this later, I've got to get ready." I said, trying to get out of this conversation.

"We aren't going into the maze today." He said.

"What?! Why?" I asked. I really needed to go out there and clear my head.

"We're having a gathering."

Oh crap! That's right. New greenie, another gathering. It had been made a thing, we had to do for each new greenie.

"But, it's not just because of him being a new greenie, it's because of what happened last night." He said.

"What?!" I said, a little too loudly. I looked around to make sure no one was around and I grabbed Newt's hand and pulled him into my room.

"Bloody hell, woman!" He said, as he almost fell. I got him in my room and shut the door.

"Sorry, I- uh- I-," I couldn't speak straight. This was awkward. I stood with my back up against the door and he was a few feet in front of me. He stepped away, realizing that it was awkward. I felt my cheeks, flush.
