Teresa grinned at me from across the classroom and smirked when she noticed me and Newt holding hands. I stuck my tongue out at her, making her smirk again. Newt smiled at us while the teacher droned on about some mechanic study thing. I held Newt's hand a little closer and grinned.
The girl was awake. And she wasn't too happy about being surrounded by boys. I had heard Clint and Jeff's yells' of surprise while I was talking to Newt, and both of us raced off to see what had happened. Alby was still sitting in the Med-hut, and I could see the worry on Newt's face.
"I'm sure he's fine," I yelled as we rushed towards the Med-hut. Newt only frowned. We barreled through the door to see Clint and Jeff both lying on the floor; Clint rubbing his head and Jeff grumbling about a broken nose.
"What happened?" Newt asked after helping the two up and onto a bed.
"The girl," Clint muttered. "She woke up and attacked us and then ran off somewhere."
"Not bad," I smirked, earning a glare from Jeff and a roll of the eyes from Clint.
"Come on," Newt said, pulling me out of the Med-hut on a search for the pale-skinned girl. But the other Gladers had already found her. I guess it's pretty hard to notice the rocks raining down on your heads.
After Thomas had gone up onto the tower to talk to the girl, Newt and I returned to the Med-hut to help look after the injured Gladers.
"Oh Clint! Oh Jeffy! Look what I have!" I squealed in delight as I lead the four injured people into the Med-hut.
"What?" Jeff growled.
"More people that have been beat up by a girl!" Newt shushed me and then helped me bandage up everyone, including Gally, who had a huge bump on his head. After I'd giving them all instructions and an order to come back to see me in a couple of hours or if they felt any weird pains.
Clint and Jeff were napping, so, I stayed in the Med-hut while Newt went off to pay Alby, who was still sleeping on the second floor, a visit. When he got back, he looked rather pissed, and Clint was still asleep. Jeff, however, had woken up and was busy cleaning up in the showers.
Newt left me to go search for Minho and Thomas, while I cleaned up a Builder who had been trying to fix the roof of the Homestead. After he thanked me and left, I tended to Clint by cleaning the bandage and setting out a glass of water for him when he woke up.
I ventured out of the Med-hut, ignoring the whole speech Alby would've given me about being responsible and looking after the Gladers and blah blah blah, and jogged over to the Runners hut, hoping to find Thomas or even Minho. We hadn't talked much after I had punched him, and he had only acknowledged my presence when he came in to the Med-hut so I could look at his ankle.
"Thank you," he'd grumbled and then trudged out of the hut. I had rolled my eyes and simply gone back to laying down and pretending to nap.
"Thomas?" I called as I pushed open the door. Thomas and the girl were standing there, huddled together over a map.
"Um, hello?" I coughed, a smirk already arising on my face. They sprung apart like they'd been caught in the middle of a crime scene. "I thought Ben and I had been the only couple in the Glade. I guess I was wrong."
The girl blushed and Thomas stuttered out, "We weren't…I wasn't…um." The girl stepped forward, flicking her hair back, and smiled weakly.
"My name is Teresa. I assume you're Elizabeth."
"Lizzy," I replied, and shook her hand. "You kids have fun. Oh, and Thomas, let me know if anything…interesting happens." I left with a smirk and a wink and then disappeared through the door.
I'm not dead! Haha sorry for the long wait and this short chapter. Don't worry. I'll write soon…hopefully.
