"Here." I handed him an apple. "I know you are probably starving."

"I am." He told me. "Thanks."

I nodded.

"How are the tests going?" He asked, leaning his head against mine.

"Boring." I replied. "I know all of it, I don't get why they keep with the same tests."

"Bloody hell." He laughed. "That sounds better then what I got to do."

I stared at him apologetically. "I'm sorry."

"It can't be much worse out there then in here." He squeezed my hand reassuringly. "Now I have another question to ask you."

"Yeah?"

"How come they haven't caught us?" He laughs. "WICKED has maximum security. I've been here most of my life, tried escaping a few times but how come they haven't caught us?"

I giggle. "I'm sneaky."

"No wonder you are part of this 'superior' group." He says.

"I don't even know why I'm doing this." I sigh, looking at his eyes. "I'd rather me a munnie and murdered in the world then be stuck doing this. I can't feel a damn thing here."

He faces me. "Audrey I'm going to try something on you."

I nodded, confused.

He brought his hands to my cheeks and brushed my clean hair off my face. He placed his lips against mine and let them stay there for a quick second.

"Did you feel that?" He asks.

"Yeah." I nodded. "I should get going before we actually get caught."

"Bye Audrey."

"Bye Newt."
