Chapter 2
Newt's and the girl's hand entwined together as they go get some snacks from Frypan, the girl is quiet at all time, she only answers with a nod and a shake of her head for a no, she always have her other hand latch on Newt's hoodie, too afraid to be left alone. She behind him trying to hide from the Gladers.
Other Gladers keeps eyeing the two, Newt ignores their attention then suddenly the two Runners comes behind them. Minho clears his throat.
"So klunk lovers, How's your first date?" Minho eyes Newt with his smirk. Newt chuckles and looks back at the two. He gives him a death glare.
"We're not lovers. She just need someone to look after her" Newt says.
"Hey, Newt. " Thomas beams
"Bloody what? Tommy?" Ignoring Minho's presence.
"Does she remember her name?" Ask curious Thomas. Newt shakes his head for a no. He sighs.
"Unfortunately, For now she doesn't" Thomas nods as he understands the girl's situation.
"You know Newt, You guys fit perfectly..." Thomas says bluntly earning a snicker from Minho, He smiles. Finally someone who joins in the teasing! Newt blushes and glares at Thomas. He then realizes what he did, he quickly defense himself.
"No offense but you do, I mean by the height... And how innocent she looks like..." Thomas say.
"I have to go here with Dumb-Shank, I totally agree with him." Minho butts in the conversation.
"Hey Greenie" Minho taps her small shoulder, she trembles. She hides herself behind Newt's back.
"Hey, Shuck-face, Did Wicked brought you here?"
"Minho, stop. You're just making her feel worse" Thomas says as he grabs Minho by the shoulder to stop him. Then Newt feels the girl's inconvenience.
"Can you bloody stop this? Don't bloody talk like that like she isn't here." Newt says, The girl grips his hoodie tighter.
As soon as they have their snacks, Teresa waves her hand to let her bestfriends come sit with her, they agree. But before they can go, She stops Newt.
"Are you okay?" Newt asks holding both of their snacks. She shooks her head. Newt frowns.
"Do you want to eat somewhere else?" As he observes The girl doesn't want so many attention and she easily gets scared, Maybe she has a phobia. She nods her head, Newt smiles. The girl still latch at Newt's hoodie.
The two head to the Deadheads, which was the most peaceful place in the Glade. Well that's what Newt said a while ago, in fact he told her it was his place of freedom.
They sat on the grass and leaned on a tree. Newt starts to munch Frypan's signature chocolate Bun. He munches the food with out hesitation, The girl watches him for awhile, He looks his way towards the girl.
"Go take a bite" He says.
The girl hesitates and after watching Newt munch his for awhile, she's convince and takes a small bite from the bun, she barely took a bite, the size of the her bite was like a pinch of sugar. She munches the small part and her eyes lit up as the flavor explodes in her mouth. She decides to take a bite again, leaving Newt chuckling at her expression. She then thoughts that Newt wasn't bad afterall, He's a person who cares and loves to help others, He's more like an angel, she thoughts. She then have trust on Newt so far.
He notices the girl's struggle in eating the bun, He watches her for a while. As she takes a bite from the bun she ends up jerking her mouth away from it, The Chocolate Bun is indeed hot, it's freshly baked. As she retakes a bite she ends up leaving a mark on the bun barely ripping the part of the bun, Newt chuckles and ruffles her head, it was way to cute for him. She blushes.
"Here" He leans closer and blows the heat of the bun, The girl's face only inches apart from Newt, she starts to feel different kinds of bubbles in her stomach. Her hair covering her face.
"There, its warm enough, go on, Love" He smiles and resumes eating. She stares at the Chocolate Bun for awhile and a smile forms on her lips.
"Thank you" She says, He smiles and pats her head.
"You're welcome"
Later after eating and Newt and the girl talks about random things, they sometimes also made introductions of himself. She is completely normal with Newt, She's comfortable, they talk alot but mostly Newt does the talking and such things. Newt being so happy because she's already warming up with him, she jokes around and tells him it'll be hard to make friends. They went to the Med-Jacks to have her check up.
"Hey, Clint. Jeff" He says and ushers the girl to seat on the bed. She hesitates at first before he gives her an assuring smile. She calms down a bit.
"Don't worry they'll just check on you and we can get you to the Celebration later"
Celebration? Newt takes a stool from the other side of the room and takes a sit. The Med-jacks checks her up and the next thing you know she's already sitting beside Newt leaning their backs on a log around the big bonfire. It was exhilirating that's what she thoughts, Boys dancing to the sick beat of the drums, Boys eating and chatting, Boys having a 'game' or 'get together' in fighting each other inside a circle full of sand. The girl loosen up a bit and decides to answer when she's been asked. It's not bad, The Glade, she says as she observes her surrounding. Newt leaves for a while and fix some things then Thomas comes in and takes Newt's previous seat.
" How's your first day, Greenie?" Thomas asks; She looks at him and returns watching the dancing Gladers.
"Ummm... It's not bad" She says lowly, Thomas'eyes widens. He laughs with disbelief.
"You talked!" He says, earning some stares from the other Gladers. He ignores them.
The girl blushes. He stops and realizes something.
"Ah, sorry. I'm Thomas by the way"
"You have a sweet voice, by the way"He compliments the blushing girl. Is my voice sweet? She thoughts. She looks away.
"Thank you" She says. He laughs at her cuteness,
"Well, I'm really like this at first, well I got pretty scared at first. Then I got to talk to Newt and I regain my normal self just being with him... I'm still working on my name..." She chuckles. He smiles.
"I like you" He says.
"What I mean is that I like you to be my friend its not that I have a crush on you or whatever. I\ I didn't mean that I have an interet in you, No wait. I do have an interest in you... I mean... What... I... Do you understand what I mean?" He defends himself, She smiles at him.
"I understand you, I'm not that innocent, Thomas, Don't worry. It's an honor to befriend with you" She says and sticks out her hand for him, He reaches and shakes their hands.
"So can you tell me about something in being a Runner?" She asks. Earning a snicker from Thomas.
"You want to be a Runner? " A voice behind them starled them, making Thomas jump from his seat, She chuckles at his reaction, It was the other girl.
"Teresa" Thomas states, she occupies the other space beside Thomas. She was really pretty, If she could only remember what she looks like.
"Hey, This is Teresa" Thomas gestures her to me, I nod.
"Hi Teresa, I'm sorry but I'm still working on my name" She says, She laughs and shakes my hand then we let go.
"It's totally normal. We've been through that situation. I got my name back after A few minutes when they got me out of the Box, I recovered pretty quick than these smelly Gladers" She says, making the girl laugh.
Newt I made some friends! She searches for him for awhile then she stops as Thomas starts a conversation.
