That question lingers in my mind and I can't sleep until I find the answer, am I in love? Why is this so hard to answer I'm pretty sure it's a yes or no, ugh this is annoying me, I try close my eyes to sleep but I end up popping them back open, "Close your shuck eyes Tris", I scold at myself. I eventually drift off to sleep but most of my dreams include Newt and I hanging out, me blushing, us kissing. I wake up panting, and grinning... what the heck Tris what the actual heck, why are you even dreaming of that seriously, I don't go back to sleep for the rest of the night. I look outside and see that it's still dark and there is no one awake, no movements nothing but the snores of the Gladers outside. I stay in my bed and just sit there hoping that morning would come quicker but no, instead it decides to take its time.

There was nothing else to do so I went out, slowly down the stairs, slow movements and just took a walk. I walk around trying to clear my head or look for an answer as if the answer was hidden in the bush somewhere, "Do I? Really? I need help ugh", I say to myself, why am I talking out aloud, I think to myself, "Do what?" I hear a voice say, it was a familiar voice too, I turn around and see Minho, "What are you doing up?" I ask him

"I was gonna say the same about you Greenie, you're not thinking of escaping are you?" he smirks at me

"No, I just um, I just needed to walk, and uh clear my head", I stutter

"Okay, what troubling you", he asks me

"Why would I tell you, I barely know you", I reply

"Well now that something confirmed is wrong you must tell me", he says, I didn't even realise we were sitting until I felt Minho nudge his knee to me

"I'm just curious, what does it feel like to be in love?" I ask him, where the heck did that come from

"I wouldn't know, you in love with someone? Greenie got a crush already", Minho said smirking

"What? No no, no why? No, just do you know anything?" I say, well that just made it obvious

"Um, I love running if that helps and the thing is, I enjoy running so I'm guessing if you liked a person you would enjoy being with them", he says, half a comment half a question

"Hm, okay thanks", I say nudging his shoulder

"No worries, so who's the shank, Newt?" he says nudging me back and giving me puppy dog eyes

"Woah wait, no I never said I was in love, and w-why would you think Newt", I say, I stutter again, I feel the heat rush up to my cheeks and desperately try to hide it but dropping my head down

"I knew it! I knew it! I was right!" Minho yells jumping up and down

"No! Shut it! You'll wake everyone", I whisper yell at him, he sits down again and then looks me in the eye and I feel like I'm just gonna spurt all my feelings towards Newt to him, hold it in, I think to myself

"It's Newt, admit it, don't worry I won't say anything you can trust me", he says putting a hand to his hard and putting his other in the air as if reciting a pledge to someone important

"Hmm...only if you do something for me", I say taking this as an opportunity to take advantage of the situation

"Anything", he says, he seems desperate to know the answer

"Make me a Runner", I say

"What?! Shank you just go here and besides its Alby's decision", he says

"Minho", I say dragging out the 'o'

"Fine, I'll put a good word in for you, but you're gonna need to do something to prove yourself further", he says, "Also, why would you wanna go out there, Newt is gonna miss you so much", he says puppy dog eyes again

"Because I need to be a Runner and no Newt won't miss me", I say, "He probably doesn't even like me back", I whisper, just to myself

"I heard that! You like him!" Minho says jumping up again and doing a little dance, "Don't worry shank I'll make sure you get him", he says draping an arm around my shoulder and walking me towards the Homestead again. I liked Minho he was like that best friend that was also your secret brother non-biologically.

I woke up in the morning in my bed, hm? Guess Minho carried me in here, I yawn and get up, I look outside and people are only just getting up, finally I wake up early, I think to myself. I walk towards the door head hanging down still tired and go to the door, not even looking up, I open the door and see a pair of shoes standing there, I look up and see Newt, my heart starts to beat faster and I start to get really hot, my hair was a mess and, oh gosh, I think to myself and quickly close the door, wait did I just, I open the door again and Newt is still standing there, his trademark grin plastered onto his face, "Uh, hey, sorry for um-before I was just", I say to him

"Don't worry, you ready for today?" he said still smiling, oh gosh how much I love his smile, then I realised his smile wasn't 100%

"Um, I guess I am", I say and grin stupidly, I ignore the fact that the grin wasn't 100%

"Good, let's go then shank", he says and I walk out with him. We walk towards Frypan's kitchen in silence, gosh this is awkward, I think to myself, I try think of ways to start a conversation but I can't so we just continue in silence, "So um- Tris how was your sleep last night?" Newt asks once we sit down with our food, "It was better than the other few nights for sure", I say smiling at him, he smiles back but weakly, "Are you okay?" I ask him

"Hm? Yeah I'm perfect", he says then we eat in silence. We continue to eat and gradually Minho, Chuck and Jeff join us to eat, we all spoke normally Minho giving me little smirks and nudges, I was sitting next to Newt and closer than seemed necessary, Minho kept pushing me closer even though the whole side of my body was touching his. "Stop it!" I scold at Minho but he just laughs and continues to eat.

"Greenie!" Alby yelled at me

"Yeah?" I reply back

"Ready for today? You're going to be working as a Builder today, Bricknicks tomorrow, Slopper the next, then a Cook, Track-Hoe, Med-Jack and then Slicers, you won't be doing Baggers and Runners, Baggers because we decided we don't want you to have to see that first thing and Runner because well you can't", Alby said then he started to lead me to a group of boys including Gally. "Gally, Greenie here-" Alby starts but I cut him off

"Tris", I say

"Tris here", he says then scoffs, "Will be working with you guys today", he says then leaves us, "Okay Greenie, let's get to work", Gally immediately says and hands me a bunch of tools, nails, hammers, and some wood.

We work on some buildings, creating small little huts everywhere and shelters in certain places for people, "Shank grow some muscles", Gally scolds at me, I realise that I have been working on the same nail for a few minutes now, what? I think to myself and realise, oh gosh.
