It's dinner, and I don't think I have ever been this nervous. I know that I don't have much to go on but I doubt that anything that happened before the Maze could compete with this.

"You ready?" I whip round to see Newt walking towards me.

"Nope, you?" he shakes his head in reply. "Good that." We both take a deep breath before heading over to the other Gladers.

"GUYS!" Newt yell as we reach them. Everyone stops talking, apart from Gally, so Minho whacks him over the head. "I've got an announcement to make!" He slips his arm around my wait and there is a collective gasp. I've laid claims to this shank, and I don't want to hear any more on the matter, Good that?" no one speaks. "Good that." he concludes, before going over to a log by the fire and sitting down, dragging me with him. As we it down he lets out a sigh of relief and closes his eyes.

"That was interesting, did you see Gally's face?" I whisper, chuckling slightly. He hums his agreement and we sit in silence for a few moments before simultaneously bursting into hysterics. It's the first real laughter I've hear from anyone since I got here, and it's amazing. His laugh is like a choir of angels singing and then there's just me sounding like a dying cat and clapping my hands like a demented seal. Oh well, Gally is a pretty funny guy, unintentially of course. I think our little fit of laughter has cheered everyone else up a bit, which is difficult in a place like this.

"I knew it" I look up to see Alby walking over with some food for us. He sets it down before sitting down himself. "I just knew it, I even confronted our dear Greenie. I think you fooled everyone else though, oh and try and keep it PG-13, we've got Chuck and apart from Minho because he's a dirty bastard, we're not really interested in your antics." Newt nearly chokes on his food at this comment and I just sit staring at Alby, trying to form a coherent sentence but I am aware that my mouth is merely opening and closing, each time with a varying weird noise.

"Alby, dude, there's no need for that, I nearly bloody died, and Minho? Seriously?" Newt has an incredulous look on his face as he replies to Alby. Alby just pushes my mouth closed, chuckles and walks back over to where he was previously seated.

"Now that he's gone" I lean over, having regained my ability to speak, and kiss Newt softly on the lips. He sighs slightly into the kiss as he kisses back. This kiss starts to deepen when I feel something hit me on the head and hear

"WIll you two stop-" which is cut off and replaced by muffled screams. I break away from the kiss to see Minho tackling Gally, who I'm assuming through the bread roll at us.

"Just let them be, it's cute!" says Minho. Gally sighs in defeat and relaxes. Minho lets go of him and stands up, brushing off his clothes and clearing his throat.

"Thanks Minho" Newt says. Minho flashes a cheesy smile and gives a thumbs up. He then returms to his seat and conversation, as does everyone else. I look around and see Chuck all alone. I feel bad because I have kind of been ignoring him for the last couple of days so I excuse myself and walk over to him.

"Hey Buddy, how are you?" He doesn't reply, he just looks down and carries on eating. "Hey, Chuck, I'm sorry, I know I've been ignoring you a bit recently, but I was caught up with the whole Newt business. Sorry." He looks up at me and smiles.

"apology accepted. You and Newt are cute together but I can't believe you didn't tell me!" I laugh.

"I'm sorry, we kind of wanted to keep it a secret for a while. I'm gona go back over there but I promise that I'll spend more time with you from now on." Chuck nods happily and head back over to Newt. I don't feel too bad because I could tell that Chuck was tired and he gets up to go to sleep a few minutes later. Come to think of it, I'm pretty tired too.

"Hey Newt, I'm gonna go to sleep now, see you in the morning." I give him a kiss on the cheek and start towards the homestead.

"I'm just going to talk to Minho and Alby, then I'm going to sleep aswell." I turn and nod at Newt before continuing my journery to bed. I decide to sleep outside, a few metres away from the homestead. I'm just starting to fall asleep when I hear footsteps heading towards me, stopping behind me. I open my eys and turn my head to see Newt smiling down at me. He lays down next to me and wraps his arms around me. It's weird, but nice. I feel much warmer and safer, but it's an unfamiliar feeling, as far as I can remember. I go to sleep with thoughts of a gorgeous blonde boy in my head, and in my heart.

That was quite a long chapter for me, trying to make up for my slow updates- sorry :/
