A month ago I broke up with Newt and I had to admit that I missed him a lot. He didn't even try to fix things. What made it worse that we couldn't sit at the same table. Minho, Alby and Frypan didn't sit with me for that reason. Even though I knew how pathetic my life was, I still had only cried once. And I was going to keep it that way. I still know the first time I cried, I was crying in my tree and Newt was the only one who could get me out of it. There was another newbie, Robbe. He was so stupid that we wanted to send him back with the box. Unfortunately, that didn't work. At least Robbe was good for one person. He was the super sweet boyfriend of the Fart. Ooooh, awesome, a bit of romance. I was talking with Jack in the deadheads. We ate there for some change.

"Marie, you're too good for him" he said and I shook my head. "he doesn't deserve you'

"Oh please, nobody deserves me" I said cockily. It was only a joke.

"Shank, you don't deserve me" he answered. Haha, he was so funny. Suddenly, I had a plan.

"Hey Jack" I said. He turned his head to me. I laid my hands on his shoulders and kissed him. On the mouth. Then I let him go.

"We're so not soul mates" I said with a disgusted face.

"Like I'm kissing my mother" Jack said

"Well, you're the baby right?" I teased him. "This isn't working. I love Newt. I can't forget him like that?"

"Tell him you love him" I shook my head. No, that wasn't a good idea.

"Come on, baby, work to do" I pulled him up and we went back to work.

While I was growing crops, Alby came to me.

"We're having a gathering. You have to be there" he said. I wondered why I had to be at the gathering but I went without asking anything. A few months ago I was also there. Then the keepers had a discussion about what work I should do. I sat down on my chair in front of the half circle. I crossed my arms, leaning back.

'We've been thinking about this for a long time. At least a month, but everyone agreed. Newt told us that you wanted to be a keeper of some girlgroupthingie. We agreed. Your plan to get revenge on Minho was perfect and it proved that you're a good keeper. There are a few chores that aren't really part of our jobs, so you could do them" Alby said.

So Newt told them. I looked at him but he avoided my glance. I didn't have to think about Alby's proposal, it was exactly what I wanted. But I had to ask something.

"What kind of chores?"

"Well, we have some containers of paint, maybe you can make the glade a bit more colourful? You can gather some flowers. Spread a happy mood and a bit of love" The last thing made me laugh.

"Okay, I'll do it" I decided. Alby clapped his hands. "That's settled"

Everyone stood up and left the room, I stayed behind with Alby.

"Spread the love, girl" Alby said. Alby brought me to a room. It was full of paint, paintings, vases, seeds and a lot more. The gladers didn't have time to decorate the glade, they were too busy with their jobs. I was relieved that I didn't have to do the same every day anymore.

"Go to the builders first, they have some things that can be made beautiful"

So I went to Gally. "Hey captain Gally, do you have something that can be made colourful?" I said with my back straight. Gally laughed.

"Yes, peasant, you can paint the chairs. Such a beautiful ass deserves a beautiful chair" he winked at me. I rolled my eyes but still laughed. Gally wasn't so bad, he understood why it was so difficult for me. Probably because he was stung. His cocky behaviour wasn't that bad with me. He respected me. All because of the stick, he was just scared.

"Right at your service, captain. What colours?

"All the colours. This is going to be a rainbow maze" I nodded and marched away. Then I thought about something: "Also pink?"

"All colours, peasant" he repeated. So I quickly got some paint and began painting. All the chairs in the glade were going to get some colour. The most chairs at the tables were already painted. Then I went to homestead to paint to chairs of the keepers, they all had their own chair. I asked their favourite colours beforehand. Not Newt, I knew his favourite colour. A blue chair for James, red for Minho, green for the Fart, red for Alby, orange for Gally, yellow for Frypan, blue for Clint, azure for Charlie and scarlet for Winston. I was about to paint Newt's chair when I heard a voice behind me.

"Which colour does my chair have?" I was with my back to the door but I knew who was there. I could imagine it perfectly; Newt leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed.

"Trust me" I said. I didn't know if that was smart to say.

"Good, I trust you" Then I heard him leave. I turned around, looking at the empty doorway. He trusts me? No. No, would he? I began painting his chair. I thought that nobody would look at the bottom of the chair, so I wrote something on it: I love you.
