"𝗦𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗔?" Minho asked while we all stand in the parking lot.

Jorge just pulled the covers and showed us a blue, beaten up SUV the with bull horns on the front.

"Isn't she lovely? Marcus and I really love this lady," he said and pat the hood of the jeep.

"Can we all go know?" Brenda asked with irritation lacing her voice. She got inside the car and sat at the very far corner, Thomas followed her.

I raised my brow at Teresa and she just stared at me then she quickly went inside the car and sat beside Thomas. I went in and sat beside the window in the middle part of the car. Aris sat beside me and I guess where cool now because he asked me if I'm fine. Frypan sat beside Aris and Minho took shotgun.

"Y'all look cozy and comfortable, so where d'ya think I'm going to sit?" Newt asked with his very thick accent that made my stomach ache. Grrr, his accent.

"We're going to tie you in the roof, you're not important anyway," Minho joked.

"Ha, very funny," Newt replied with annoyance that made me laugh.

"What's funny, (Y/n)?" he asked that made me stopped laughing. His gaze was searing into my insides like I want to kiss him again and feel that rush when he's touching me with his calloused hands—wait what? Why I'm thinking these things? I must be still under the influence of Marcus's drug.

"Uh, n-nothing," I stuttered that made Minho laugh.

I moved forward and lift the centre console of the car. It's a middle seat in the front. I could hear the Gladers "ooh" and that made the modern people— me, Jorge and Brenda—laugh.

"Move Minho, so that Newt could sit," I said.

"No way! I'm big for that small seat," he whined then he smiled mischievously. "Hey Aris, you are so small, you could fit here."

"But I'm already comfortable in my spot," he protested but Minho just ignored him.

"Make way for Newt, Fry. He's switching seats with Aris," he commanded with that annoying grin again.

Frypan let out an "ooh" and whispered something to Aris that made him look at me with an eye that spells out that something awful is going to happen.

"What?" I spat.

"Nothing. I'm just gonna switch sides," he said and started to laugh while moving in the front. 

Fry got out from the car and pushed Newt to get inside, causing him to fall at me.

His face was so close to mine that I could feel his breath hitching up. His jaw clenched and swallowed an invisible lump at his throat. He moved his gaze at my lips for a split second and I could feel my cheeks getting hotter.

"Get room, shanks!" Minho shouted and laughed with the others.

Newt immediately adjusted himself and mumbled something to Minho that I couldn't decipher, making the Asian buff laugh harder.

"And off we go!" Jorge exclaimed with such excitement that it became contagious.

I found myself smiling when he reared the car, pressed the gas, and drove straight into the wire fencing. He's driving fast into the empty road, we're heading off to mountains, and finally, we'll be safe.

We've been driving in complete silence for more than an hour. I could feel that everyone is excited for what's laying ahead that nobody bothered to speak, not even Minho.
