Lost

The Starlight

I walked around the Glade since I couldn't sleep and went in the Deadheads. It's peaceful here so I lay down on the grass. I closed my eyes, enjoying the quiet moment. Footsteps got closer and closer and I opened my eyes when the person's next to me. Then the blonde boy lay down and I recognized it was no one other than the boy who was friendly to me the moment I showed up.
" It's peaceful here, isn't it?" Newt asked. " But it ain't always like this. We had dark days, lost a lot of boys to the Maze. That's why we made rules. Rules... make peace." he looked at me with a serious expression. " So love, promise me no matter what, you would never run into that bloody Maze. Promise me. "
" I promise. " Newt looked relieved from my answer. We lay there for a while, then suddenly Newt pointed to one of the stars in the sky.
" Do you see that star? " he asked.
" Which one? There are so many of them. "
" The one I'm pointing at. " Newt replied. I tried to search the star he was talking about, but the branches blocked most part of the sky.
" Come here." he giggled and sat up to put me on his lap before he lay down again.
" Do you see it now? " Newt pointed at the sky and I nodded. The star he was pointing at was brighter than the rest. Right next to it was another one almost as bright as the one Newt pointed.
" What do you think about it? What's so special about this star? "
" Well... it's brighter than the rest of them, like a person who stands out. Like me." I smiled.
" And what about this one?" he pointed to the star next to it, the one that's a bit darker than the other one but still stands out.
" I think that's also someone who stands out, but compare to the one before, this one's darker. Like... it's been taken-"
" Like Teresa. " he finished my sentence for me.
" Like Teresa." I agreed.
" So that means this one-" he pointed at the brightest star." is not taken. " I blushed.
I understood exactly what he meant but I just knew he would never feel the same way about me. So instead, I punched him lightly on his arm and he couldn't stop laughing at my reaction. Both of us stayed like this until we fell asleep.
