Girl In The Glade/ Newt fanfiction (The Maze Runner)

Part 4

I didn't know what to expect from that boy so I was still scared of what is going to happen next. I just hoped he'll be nice. As I walked to him I thought of every possible thing that could happen to me here.

"Hi, my name's Elle. Alby said that you will help me out tonight. Your name's Chuck, right?" I said to him as I approached. 

"Oh hey!" he said with excitement and smile all over his face. "Yes, my name's Chuck. Nice to meet you, Elle. You're actually even prettier than everyone was sayin'."

"Everyone was talking about me?" I asked little bit confused feeling fear coming back.

"Of course they were. Since you're the first girl ever to be seen. At least first one we remember seeing. So... have you already eaten your dinner? Frypan's makin' mashed potatoes with steak tonight."

"Who's Frypan?"

"Frypan's our cook. He makes the best food ever."

"Oh... well... I'm not really hungry." Actually, I was hungry. I just thought there will be a lot of boys and this thought made me scared.

"Yes, you're hungry. Every greenie is hungry when they come here. And yet you haven't eaten anything except for sandwich since yesterday."

"How do you know I ate a sandwich?"

"Well... when Newt came after the sandwich he told us he found you and that the sandwich was for you so you'd finally come down. So are you coming to dinner?"

"I guess I am."

As we walked to Homestead where the kitchen was, Chuck talked a lot. He told many different stories that made me laugh. He seemed like the youngest kid in the Glade. He actually was very nice and funny and I even found him pretty cute of the way he tried so hard to be my friend.

When we reached the Homestead we stood in a long row to get our dinner. Chuck was still talking. It felt like he never ran out of stories. The boy who I guess was Frypan handed me my dinner. Just like Chuck told me, for today's dinner were mashed potatoes and steak. As Frypan handed me dinner, he talked to me. He seemed nice as well. He said that he hoped that I will get used to things here soon enough which I found very nice of him. 

I looked over to where the tables were but they all seemed full so I sat on the grass with Chuck. Chuck was telling me a funny story about how he pranked one of the boys when another boy came and sat next to me. He looked about 17 years old. He had light brown hair and very beautiful green eyes.

 He introduced himself as Mason. I looked at Chuck as if wanting help but he excused himself and went off leaving me alone with Mason.

"So you're Elle, right?" he asked me.

"Yes... I am."

"You have such a beautiful name."

"Yeah... you're not the first one to say me that." I was starting to get annoyed by this boy. "Did you want something?"

"Oh... I just wanted to know how you're doing. You seemed so scared when you first got here."

"No, I wasn't scared." I let out a nervous laugh.

"You don't need to be ashamed of that. I was scared as well when I..."

"I said I wasn't scared. I just didn't like yall. So I outran you shuck-faces and ran into the forest." That came out so easy and I was very confused about what did I just say. I didn't even know what is shuck-face. 

"Okay, okay... calm down," he said and smiled. "You're so cute when you're angry."

I felt myself blushing. 

"I.. um.. I.. need to...to go. See you later. Bye." I muttered and went off.

I saw Chuck talking to some guy. He looked like asian. He had very well cut hair and wow.. those muscles. I laughed at my thought. 

"Hi," I said shyly as I walked to them.

"Hello," the Asian boy said with a smile on his face. "So you're that pretty girl everyone is talkin' about. Name's Minho. Nice to meet ya."

I smiled back. "My name's Elle. Nice to meet you too."

"Do you want me to show you around the Homestead?" Chuck asked.

"Yes, I'd love to."

After the tour around Homestead I decided to go to shower. I was very sweaty and felt disgusting. At the end of the tour they handed me a box that came up with me. It had my name on it and I guess it was ment only for me. It was full with different stuff like clean clothes and towels, hairbrush, hairbands etc. 

I took a pair of clean clothes and a towel and went to showers. Luckily there was no one. I choose one of the stalls and got undressed. I quickly showered under the cold water and after that, I started to get dressed. 

Then I heard someone come in. I froze. He was quietly singing a song. I found it really cute.

 I was thinking about lyrics of the song he was singing when suddenly he opened the curtain. It was Newt. I had already put on my pants but hadn't put on a shirt so I was in a bra. I screamed and he screamed as well. Trying to get out of the shower really fast he slipped and fell on his butt facing me but I accidentally turned on the water while going backward. 

Now we both were wet and standing in one shower. I started laughing. Only after few moments, I realised I was still in my bra. 

"Hey, stop shucking looking at me, you, pervert," I said to him.

He turned to look in other direction. I quickly put my shirt on. 

"I'll help you get up," I said and tried to help him. 

As I got him up we were standing pretty close to each other. He took a step back but slipped again. While he was falling he tried to grab something so he wouldn't fall. But he ended up grabbing my hand and falling on his back with me on top.

And in that exact moment, Minho came in. "Oh guys, really? Can you do it in more private place?"

Then we both quickly got off of each other and bursted out with explanations.

"It's not how it looks like."

"We were just... um... no... we were not... um.."

"He just walked in and fell and then water and now we are wet and no... nothing happened... we just... um... I..."

"It's okay guys," Minho laughed. "I'll leave you two alone."

And he went away. 

"Oh shuck, I'm so bloody sorry. I just didn't know you were here. I didn't mean to come in. It was quiet here and I thought that..." He started his apology but I cut him off.

"It's okay," I say smiling and then let out a nervous laugh. "At least I wasn't naked."

He laughs nervously. 

"I'll go now." He says while getting up. 

"Newt, wait," I say and he turns his head back. "I um... all my clothes are wet now. And I don't have any dry ones. I thought that maybe you guys have some clothes that I can borrow while mine are wet."

"I actually have some spare clothes in my room. If you come with me I can give you some."

"Thanks," I say while getting up from the floor. Then we go out of the shower.
