Chapter nineteen - Embarrassed
After a while I saw some boys waking up, so me and Newt decided to go down again. Newt climbed down first and I followed. At the last step of the ladder Newt grabbed my hand so I wouldn't fall. Another shock of electricity flashed trough my hand as I touched Newt.
Together we walked towards the kitchen to get breakfast. There was already a small line with boys, so we had to wait a few minutes before we got out food.
'Thank, Fry.' I smiled as Frypan handed me a plate. He gave me a nod and continued giving other boys food.
'Should we join Minho?' Newt looked at Minho who was sitting all alone.
'Sure.' We walked over to him and sat down.
'Morning.' Minho looked at the two of us.
'What?' I asked when he kept looking.
'Nothing.'
I frowned and started eating.
'Why are you still wearing your pyjamas?' Minho asked. 'Both of you.'
'We didn't have time to put our normal clothes on.' I simply replied, but then I realized how weird it sounded. 'That is not what I meant-.' I felt my face heat up as Minho smirked at me.
'Did you guys sle-.'
'Minho, aren't you supposed to be in the maze?!' I quickly asked before he could finish his sentence.
'Day off.' He shrugged.
'Why don't I have a day off sometime?' I mocked.
'Because you need to take care of people.' Newt replied. 'If there are no Med-jacks available then we have a problem. But maybe you'll have to take turns with days off. Like sometimes you have a day off and sometimes Clint or Jeff.'
'I like that idea.' I said. The three of us continued eating until I was done. 'I'm gonna go, bye!' I handed Frypan my plate and headed to the med-hut.
'Morning, Greenie.' Jeff greeted me.
'Hey.' I sat down and watched Clint treating a Builder.

I got my lunch and looked around. Logan was sitting alone again, so I decided to join him.
'Hey, Logan.' I sat down.
'Hey.' His eyes light up when he saw someone joining him. 'How are you?' He asked.
'I'm fine. You?'
'I'm okay too.' He smiled a little.
I leaned my head on my hand and started eating. Without even noticing it my eyes followed Newt, who was walking around. His perfect blonde hair shined in the sun as the wind made it a little messy, which looked amazing. He smiled at Frypan and it looked really cute. I loved his smile and could watch for hou-
'You like him, don't you?' Logan suddenly asked. I snapped out of my thoughts and quickly looked at Logan.
'What?' I blinked a few times.
'You like him.'
'Who?' I asked. 'Newt? No!' I felt my cheeks get red.
'God, you're a bad liar.' Logan laughed. 'It's obvious. You stare at him all the time, you're with him all the time, you laugh at eveything he says, you-'
'Okay, okay. I get it! You got me.' I laughed a little, but my face turned even redder.
'You're wearing his sweater too.' Logan looked at the beige sweater.
I looked down and noticed that I was still in my pyjamas, even though it was already lunch. 'This is my pyjama.' I realized. I actually didn't mind it at all. Newt's clothes were comfortable and they smelled really nice.
Logan could only let out a few laughs when he saw my red face.
'Logan.' My face turned serious again. 'Don't tell Newt about this though. I don't want him to know that I like him.'
'Alright. I won't tell him.' Logan replied. 'I promise.'
'Thanks.' I smiled and finished my food. 'I'm gonna go work again. I'll see you later!'

'Thank you, Frypan.'
Frypan handed me a plate full with potatoes and some meat.
'Enjoy.' He smiled and continued cooking.
I looked around and saw Gally and Mike sitting at a table. I walked over to them and sat down.
'Hey, guys.'
They both looked up. 'Hey.'
'How you doing?' I asked them.
'Good, what about you?' Mike looked at me.
'I'm alright.' I smiled.
Newt and Minho walked towards us. It looked like they were arguing. Minho had a smirk on his face, just as always. Newt looked angry.
'Shut up about it, Minho!' He quietly said as they walked closer to us.
'Just be a man! Act tough and say that you-.'
Minho got interrupted by Newt slapping the back of his head, hard.
'Jesus Christ, man.' Minho mumbled as he rubbed the back of his head. Both of them sat down at our table.
'You guys all right?' Mike looked at the two boys.
'Yes, but Newt-.'
Minho stopped talking when Newt kicked him under the table. A little confused I started eating again.
'What's happening?' Gally asked.
'Nothing.' Newt quickly said, before Minho could do anything.
I didn't ask about it and just ate my food. After a while I noticed Logan looking around. His eyes met mine and I motioned for him to join our table.
A little unsure he nodded and sat down. As soon as he joined everyone stayed silent.
'If you guys maybe didn't know, this is Logan. He's really nice and a good friend of mine. Go greet him like a normal human.' I said. Logan's face turned completely red.
'Hey, Logan.' Gally obeyed me and soon the others did too. After a while they were all talking to each other, even Logan.
I laid my arm down on the table and accidentally touched Newt's. I immediately felt my cheeks heat up again.
Jeez! I can't even touch him for a split second without blushing.
Logan noticed it and smirked, before I gave him a 'shut up' glance.
Slowly my eyes trailed towards Newt, our eyes met and I quickly looked away again.
'I'm done.' I got up from the table and handed my plate to Frypan. Then I walked to my hut.
I closed the doors behind me and then remember what happened last night. Newt had told me his story and how he didn't remember anything from his past. Because of that he tried to kill himself. Because he didn't remember anything. I knew more about his past than he did himself. I knew he had a sister. I knew that his parents were killed. I remembered it all and I felt guilty. Guilty for not telling anyone, guilty for not telling Newt.
Just like I had done the other nights, I walked to the med-hut and grabbed the same small knife. I made a few deep cuts and immediately felt relieved again. I put the knife in my pocket and cleaned up the wounds.
Suddenly I heard something behind me and I quickly turned around. Newt entered the hut.
'Hey. What are you doing?' He asked.
'Just cleaning some things up.' I quickly said. 'I'm gonna go to my hut now.'
I walked out of the med-hut and Newt followed me. I got in my own hut and Newt still followed me. Not knowing what to do I sat down on my bed.
Newt sat down next to me and he looked me in the eyes. I immediately looked down again and felt my cheeks get red. When I looked up again, he was still looking at me. I stared into his brown eyes for a while, until suddenly Newt's eyes trailed down, making my breath hitch. Slowly he leaned in, closer to me.
'Newt! I got your sweater!' I suddenly heard. Immediately I turned my head and looked at the door.
'I'm here!' Newt shouted and the door opened. Minho stood there, with Newt's jacket in his hands.
'Did I interrupt something?' Minho smirked and looked at us.
'No!' Newt said as he got up from the bed. A few seconds ago I thought Newt and I were going to kiss, but apparently it wasn't like that for Newt. A little embarrassed I looked at Newt as he walked out of my hut with Minho.
I got the knife out of my pocket and put it in a drawer. Then I fell asleep.
