The Glade 5
"So this is the room," said Gemma. The thing they called a room was barely standing and the bed looked like someone was slaughtered in it.
"I know it's not pretty but it's all we got," said Newt.
"Let me look at your room," asked Gemma.
"What? You don't want to look at my room," said Newt trying to keep her out of his room.
"Where's it at?" asked Gemma.
"Next to yours," said Newt. Gemma walked past Newt to the next room and saw what was inside the room.
"Really?" said Gemma laughing.
"I'm sorry but I like to have a clean room," said Newt admitting.
"Well why doesn't my room look like this?" asked Gemma.
"Uh, you got here last minute and this is the last room on this level," said Newt.
"Why can't I got to a different level?" asked Gemma.
"He wants you to be on the same level as me, because some Shanks can come up and try see you and Alby trusts me to keep you safe," said Newt.
"So you're going to make me sleep in that disgusting room?" asked Gemma.
"You kind of have to unless you want the Bloody Shanks to come and look at you at night," said Newt.
"Uh, why can't you sleep in the other room and I sleep in your room," suggested Gemma.
"Why are you so complicated?" chuckled Newt.
"Why do you have such a clean room?" asked Gemma, giving Newt a smirk.
"Fine you can sleep here but I will sleep in the floor," said Newt.
"Come on Newt, we both can fit in the bed. Don't be ridiculous," said Gemma. Newt did what Gemma demanded and got on the left side of the bed well Gemma got in on the right side and she acted like nothing was happing between then. She started a conversation on the Gladers and Newt did most of the talking. After a while he heard her fall asleep so he stopped talking and tried to go to sleep.
The next morning they woke up and got ready to go to work, Gemma was going to work with Newt in the fields for a while or until things cooled down. They barely started working and he heard Gemma was already complaining to Zart, the other field worker that was nice to her.
"Uh, Newt why can't we take a break?" asked Gemma for the hundrth time.
"Fine, take your bloody break" said Newt going off to take a walk to the woods. Newt hated it when he got mad, it's like every single little thing annoyed him.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Gemma.
"Don't know, he gets like this every once in a while," said Zart handing Gemma a cup of water.
"Thanks," said Gemma. Did she make him mad? Was he tied of her? Gemma didn't know but she was going to find out. Gemma followed Newt into the woods and saw him take a seat next to the pound. He sat on a big rock.
"Are you mad at me?" asked Gemma out loud. Newt did a little jump when he heard Gemma asked the question.
"No," was all Newt said.
"Then why did you storm off?" asked Gemma pushing Newt buttons.
"Here's the thing Gemma, we both hand changes differently" started Newt," you push them aside and act like nothing happened and look pretty while you do it. But I walk into them and I try to focus on them and continue with my life but with you here it's kind of hard to focus on it."
"So I annoy you?" said Gemma. "Newt, do you think I volunteered to come here and live with boys? Do you think I like it? Do you think I like it here?" said Gemma with a shakey voice.
"Gemma I didn't-"started Newt.
"No it's okay Newt, I understand that I annoy you," said Gemma walking away. Newt didn't see Gemma for the rest of the day.
Gemma's point of view
Why did Newt think that? Am I really that annoying? Those thoughts went through Gemma's mind as she made her way to go cry in the bathroom. Gemma couldn't work in the felids any more, Newt was at the felids. Where could she work? Gemma thought some more and decide to go to Alby.
"Alby can I talk to you?" asked Gemma.
"Uh, yeah what do you need?" asked Alby.
"I need a new job, a runner is preferable," said Gemma.
Alby laughed for a minute, "You want to be a runner?"
"Yes."
"Why? You work with Newt in the felids?"
"That's the reason why," said Gemma.
"Newt's the reason why? What did he do?" asked Alby.
As much as Gemma was made at him, she didn't want to get him in trouble so she made up a lie, "well I want to give him a break from me."
"Okay I'll talk to Minho and see what I can do but for today, just take the day off," said Alby waking off.
