"Rachel? Are you okay? Why did you just randomly fall?" he asked me.

I can't exactly lie can I? But doesn't it sound weird that I have been walking around a tree for the past half hour thinking of him and chuck but 98% him? I guess im open with my feelings and I could tell him. I don't know why but I honestly feel like I can tell this guy anything!

"yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking and walking.. And I guess falling" I tell him.

"I think we should sit, for your sake." He said says going red after he realised how weird that sounded, but honestly it doesn't bother me if he meant it the other way.

I like him but I can't let him know that. I have been in the glade, what, 2 days and I was gonna tell the guy I like him? He thought asking to sit down together was weird, he'd wanna see what I was gonna ask him before common sense kicked in.

I don't know why, I am literally just drawn to the guy like an emotional connection from the past. Is that even possible?

So we both sit there, backs against the tree staring into the glade. Watching everyone go about their daily jobs not taking any notice of us.

I kind of like that, how people here aren't always in your face.

"newt?" I ask still looking out into space

"Hm?" He replies looking over at me.

"why are we here? What is this?" I ask not sure what kind of response I will get.

He sighs

I get the feeling he has to explain this to every newcomer. I know they call them greenies here but I don't like the sound of that. I also get the feeling it kills him inside to tell every 'greenie' there is practically no hope for us and we basically spend the rest of our liens here until we die or go mad.

Unlike other people, I can take the truth. I'm strong remember?

"I'm going to be straight with you, and I don't know why I'm going to be straight with you in particular but i am." He tells me - I am now becoming a little anxious we should say, not worried because I'm not weak.

"I don't know why we're here or what's the point. Maybe it's for somebody's satisfaction to destroy people's lives and put them here." He tells me while playing with some grass on the floor.

"You think it's bad to be here? If you weren't here you wouldn't have met me, or chuck, or Thomas or any of the others!" I tell him

"ugh Rachel you bloody confused me now" he jokes.

I can't think of anything to say that won't make the situation awkward so I just sit there.

We sit there for hours, & I don't know why he didn't just get up and leave.

I feel my eyes slowly shutting, it's been an eventful day and all I want to do it sleep......

Next think you know I'm asleep, but guess what? You fell asleep right on newts shoulder so now even if he wanted to he couldn't get up.

Well done Rachel. You bloody screwed up and now your a freak.
