I realise I am clutching the flower he had given me last night in my left hand. I open up my hand and see the flower, still perfectly in tact.

Our door swings open and Minho comes bounding in. Newt and I jump up into sitting position and stare at him.

'What happened to knocking?' Newt glares at Minho.

'Sorry dude, forgot. Um… what the hell have you two been up to?' Minho smirks at us.

Newt and I look at each other, flustered. Then Minho bursts out laughing. Newt and I yell 'shut up!' in unison.

Minho finally stops laughing and wipes a couple of tears from his eyes.

'You know, I don't even wanna know,' he says. 'Anyway guys, I saw you over near the computer room last night looking really weird, is everything okay?'

I remember with a jolt what we discovered yesterday. I look at Newt, with an is-it-okay-to-tell-Minho expression, and he looks at me with a yeah-sure-go-ahead expression. So I tell Minho everything.

'Two days? Holy… wait, if they said two days yesterday, doesn't that mean they're going to do whatever it is they're planning to do to us tomorrow?' Minho stares at us, eyes wide.

My hands fly up to my mouth as I realise Minho's right.

'Oh bloody hell,' I hear Newt mutter under his breath.

Right on cue, Teresa appears behind Minho at the door.

'Minho, please go back to your room,' she says in a sinister tone.

So Minho being Minho turns around, flips her the finger, and storms down the corridor.

'And just so you know, we will be collecting you shortly,' Teresa calls out after him.

Then she shakes her head and turns back to Newt and I.

'Newt, can I see you for a moment?'

I feel my heart rate triple.

'Why?' He asks.

'I'm afraid that is confidential information,' Teresa tells him in an even more sinister tone.

Newt looks back at me. He looks like he's about to burst into tears. I pull him into a hug.

'It's going to be okay. Just go with her. She said 'can I see you for a moment', right? So we're going to see each other in a moment. Just go,' I whisper into his ear.

'But what if we don't, Emmy? I can't leave you…' Newt whispers back.

'Newt!' Teresa says in a raised voice.

'Go on, Newt. It won't do us any good if you stay here. Now go,' I hear my own voice crack.

Newt clasps my left hand in his, the one with the flower in it.

'Promise me I'll see you again.'

'Newt, I…'

'Please, Emmy,' he looks at me with a face so upset it breaks my heart into a million pieces. 'Please.'

'I promise.'

Newt takes a deep breath and then jumps down from the bed. He walks over to Teresa, and waves goodbye to me. I wave goodbye back. And at that moment, I just know it's going to be the last time I see him for a long, long time.

Then Teresa grabs Newt by the arm and pulls him out the door. I just catch Newt mouthing 'I love you' before the door slams shut, leaving me all alone.

I regret telling him to go with her. I want to call out, to sprint down the corridor and catch up with them.

But I don't do either of those things.

Instead I put my head in my hands and sob. And at that moment I realise what Newt has been saying is the truth. WICKED is not good.

I don't leave the room for the rest of the day. My timetable didn't show any tests today. When dinner is delivered to my door, there's only one meal. Newt's really gone. I eat my dinner of steamed vegetables on Newt's bed. I place my daisy next to my head as I lie down and cry myself to sleep.
