Sorry this took normal than usual to get out, I was preoccupied with the THREE new stories I am writing! Anyway, to the story!
Lizzy POV
I was a little surprised when Minho ran into the kitchen. At first I thought 'Oh, it's just Minho being Minho. Always wanting food.' But he walked up to me and whispered "Newt likes you!" Then walked back out, I was in complete shock.
At first I was frozen. I didn't even breathe, until Frypan waved a hand in front of my face saying "Glade to Lizzy. Can you hear me?"
I smiled and looked up at him. "I'm fine, Minho just gave me some awesome news." I replied.
"Eh, I could use some glade gossip. What'd he tell you?" He asked completely forgetting the chicken he was cooking for the chicken pot pie. I was the first glader to come up with it.
"Fine, I'll tell you if you stop ignoring the shucking chicken." I agree. He thankfully went back to cooking the chicken. "Okay, you can't tell anyone!" I warn.
Frypan laughs. "Who would I tell? The chicken?! I spend most of my time cooking, and the other cooks are too interested in cooking! I could say that we're out of the shucking maze and they wouldn't listen."
"Okay, okay, I get it." I tell him while cutting up potatoes. "Well, I kinda sorta like Newt and Minho just told me that Newt likes me back."
Everyone looks up from their cooking. "Sure! Now you pay attention!" I exclaimed.
"Well obviously!" A boy named Chris said. "There's only been one other person to ever have a crush on someone! He was a runner, so one day he tried to run two sections to impress the another guy and got stuck in the maze." He explained sadly. "The other guy didn't know how the first guy felt until it was too late."
"The guy liked you, didn't he." I concluded. Chris shook his head sadly.
"Anyway," Frypan says trying to change the subject "Why does Minho know?"
"Well, Minho came up with a game called Truth or Dare and I chose truth so I had to answer a question and Minho asked me if I liked Newt and I said yes. I don't know how Minho got Newt to ask him if he liked me, but he did." I explained to the group of four, not including myself.
"Why would Minho ask that?" Michael asked.
"How would I know! I'm not Minho!" I exclaim.
"Are you sure?" Sean asks.
"Do I look like Minho?" I say pointing to myself.
"You're right. Minho looks shuckier." Frypan said as we put the ingredients together. We all laughed.
When dinner finally rolled around I was sitting with Newt, Minho, Chuck, Frypan and Alby. "What is this! It's so good!" Minho says, stuffing his face with more food.
"It's chicken pot pie." Frypan says "Lizzy came up with it."
Chuck stares at me with wide eyes. "You made this!?"
"Yeah, why is that so hard to understand?" I ask.
"Because no greenie has ever made something this good first day on the job." Newt answers. "Chuck here burnt cereal."
Chuck starts to blush "How was I supposed to know cereal doesn't go in the toaster?" He says innocently.
"Ever since then Chuck's not allowed near the toaster. They have a sign and everything." Newt finished also stuffing more food into his mouth.
I look over to where the toaster is on the counter and sure enough there's a sign that says :
Chuck is not allowed within one foot the toaster!
I start to giggle and Chuck blushes more.
I keep seeing Newt sneak looks at me from the corner of my eye. I think he knows. Well, we'll have to talk about it at some point. I'll just talk to him before lights out.
-TIME WARP TO BEFORE LIGHTS OUT-
Newt POV
"Lizzy, can I ask you something." I ask as she's teaching me how to tie my shoes.
"Sure, anything." She said looking up at me.
"Um, well, Minho told you that I liked you right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Um, I was just wondering do you, um like me?" I look at her with hopeful eyes.
She looks at me with shining eyes. "Yes."
I beam "Uh, I uh, don't-" I was cut off by Lizzy giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"Shut up, and learn to tie your shoes." She says smiling.
Sorry if Newt's and Lizzy's relationship seems rushed. I just want them to have a strong bond for what happens later in the story. (Smiles evilly)
