I and Newt got up from our seats and walked towards the huts. 'Mine or yours?' I laughed a little.

'Yours.' Newt replied. 'It's much cleaner.'

'Okay,' We started walking to my hut. 'Yours is cleaner than I thought it would be, though.'

'What did you think then?' Newt smiled and opened the door to my hut.

'I don't know. I guessed it would be messier since you're a boy.' I blushed and walked into my hut.

'So you think boys are messy?' Newt chuckled.

'I don't know any other boys than the Gladers and they're pretty messy.' I shrugged and sat down on the bed. Newt stood in front of me.

It was already dark outside and a only few candles lit up my room.

Suddenly Newt pulled his shirt off. My mouth dropped open and I could only look at his strong biceps and abs. After being stunned for a few seconds, I got up and pulled my shirt off too. I was only left in my black bra and now it was Newt his turn to look stunned. Slowly Newt got closer to me, but his eyes were only focused on my chest.

'My eyes are up here.' I smirked but felt my cheeks get red.

'Uh, yeah.' Newt rubbed the back of his head. I got closer to him until our bodies were only a few inches away from each other. I stood on tiptoe so I could reach Newt's face. He pressed his lips on mine and I kissed back.

Newt grabbed my waist with one hand and I slid my hand on his warm back. I pushed Newt onto the bed, so he was sitting on it. I sat down on his lap and continued kissing him. Newt cupped my cheek with his hand as the other one was still on my waist. I shivered at his touch. I slid my hand into his hair. Slowly we let go of each other and had to catch our breaths.

I felt Newt's warm breath on my face before he lifted me up and lay me down on the bed. He climbed on top of me and started kissing my neck. My eyes closed and a small sound escaped my mouth when Newt kissed a certain spot on my neck. His breath tickled my neck and it gave me goosebumps.

Newt moved his head up again and kissed me on the lips. His soft lips were magical to me and I was surprised when he let go. 'Nora,' he said through his breaths. 'I love you.'

My breathing hitched and my heart started beating faster. 'I love you too.' I said. Newt smiled and pressed his lips to mine again. After a while, he got off me and lay down next to me. His chest moved up and down fast, and so did mine. With a smile on my face, I fell asleep.

I woke up to sunlight shining into my hut. Groaning I opened my eyes and saw Newt still lying next to me, asleep. His hair was all messy and his face looked very cute. I smiled and closed my eyes again until I heard someone shout.

'Wake up, lovebirds!' I recognized Minho immediately. Luckily he didn't get inside our hut, I guessed he learned something from the last time he did that. I lightly shook Newt's shoulder in order to wake him up.

'Newt, wake up.' I quietly said. He let out a groan and kept his eyes closed. 'Newt.' I whispered. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him. 'Come on, lizard.' I smiled, but Newt's eyes stayed closed. After a few seconds, I thought of something that could wake him up. I pressed my lips onto Newt's and his eyes immediately shot wide open. I grinned and let go of him.

'Not fair.' He groaned.

'We have to get up.' I smiled and got out of bed.

'Fine.' Newt stretched his arms and got out of bed too. He was still shirtless and I couldn't take my eyes off him.

'For god's sake, I'm not telling you guys again!' Minho his yells shook me out of my trance and I quickly put on a shirt. I didn't even realize I was wearing my normal pants when I fell asleep last night.

'Let's go.' Newt grabbed my hand after we got dressed and together we walked out of my hut. Immediately I smelled the food Frypan made. Newt got himself and me some breakfast and we joined Chuck and Thomas.

'Hey, guys.' I greeted them.

'Nor!' Chuck was just as enthusiastic as usual.

'You never told me your name actually.' Thomas commented. 'Is it Nor?'

'Nora.' I corrected him. 'But Chuck calls me Nor. You can do too.'

'Alright.' Thomas smiled. I noticed he was already a little more comfortable in the Glade than yesterday.

'What's Thomas gonna do today?' I asked.

'Track-hoes. I'm gonna help him.' Newt replied.

'Okay.' I said. 'Where's Minho?' I looked around.

'Right here.' Minho put his plate on the table and sat down. 'Missed me?'

'Yes. I thought I would die if I didn't see you.' I replied.

'Really?' Chuck asked.

'No, Chuck.' I looked at the kid. 'It's called sarcasm.'

'Oh.' Chuck looked down, embarrassed.

'Nora,' Clint looked at me. I was staring at the wall, bored, just like every day. 'If you want to do something helpful, go get some mint.'

'Mint?' I repeated.

'Yes. We grow it in the woods, the only place where the animals don't ruin it. It's something very useful for medical stuff.' Clint explained.

'Okay.' I shrugged, happy that I could at least do something. I walked into the woods and searched for the mint plant. I thought it wouldn't be hard to find, but it was. After a while, I was already deep in the woods, when I heard voices.

'Ben, right?'

I walked towards the voices and took a peek from behind a tree. I saw the back of a blonde boy, Ben. Thomas was in front of him. He had a shovel and a basket in his hands.

'You don't look too well.' Thomas looked at Ben, whose face I couldn't see.

Suddenly Ben screamed and jumped on top of Thomas. I gasped and didn't know what to do for a second.

I have to help Thomas.

Quickly I grabbed the shovel Thomas had dropped on the floor and hit Ben's arm with it. The boy fell off Thomas, who had a chance to escape from him.

'Thomas, go!' I screamed. I wanted to run too, but suddenly Ben got up, looking at me. He looked awful. His eyes were black and so were his veins. Sweat made his hair stick onto his face and his chest moved up and down heavily. In a trance, I stood there, while Thomas was still behind me.

Ben let out another scream and jumped on top of me now. His nails scratched my face and I felt a burning feeling on my cheek. I let out a scream and tried to push Ben off me, but he was too strong. Thomas took his chance and pulled Ben off me, giving me time to get up. Before being able to run, Ben attack me again. He harshly pushed me against a tree and his face got close to mine.

'Thomas did this.' He said through his breaths. 'It's his fault!'

Terrified I looked at Ben. 'He didn't do anything!'

Ben let out a mad scream and pushed me even harder. I let out a cry and Thomas hit Ben's head again.

'Nora!' He grabbed my arm and pulled me away from Ben. Almost stumbling over we started running back to the others. I could hear Ben behind us. When we had to run down a hill, Ben jumped on top of Thomas, making the three of us fall over too. I hit my head on something but quickly got up again.

'Come on, Thomas!' I pulled him up and we started running again. Thomas screamed for help as we approached the gardens. I kept running and saw a few boys walking over to us. Just when we got out of the woods, Ben attacked Thomas again.

'You did this.' He said through his teeth, spitting on Thomas his face.

Before Ben could do anything else Newt hit the back of his head with a shovel, hard. Ben immediately fell off Thomas and a few boys grabbed him. Stunned by what just happened I stumbled on my feet. My head was a little dizzy and I felt someone grab my shoulders.

'You okay?' I saw Newt's worried face.

'Yes.' I nodded. The shouts and voices in the background were all blurred, and I could only hear Newt.

'You're bleeding.' Newt moved his hand on my cheek and seemed to wipe some blood away. 'You need to go to the Med-jacks. Come on.' Newt grabbed my hand and lead me to the med-hut.

'What happened?' Jeff got up from his chair. 'We heard some screams.'

'I only saw 'em running out of the woods. I don't know what happened either.' Newt sat me down on one of the chairs. 'What happened, love?'

As Clint cleaned the cut on my cheek I explained what happened.

'So you were searching for mint?' Newt repeated.

'Yes.'

'Why mint?' He frowned.

'They needed it.' I motioned at the two other boys.

'All done.' Clint finished the cut on my cheek.

'Thanks.' I got up from the chair, but almost stumbled over by the dizziness.

'Wow.' Newt immediately grabbed my waist so I wouldn't fall. 'You okay?'

'Yeah, just a little dizzy.' I sat down on the chair again. 'It will be fine.'

'Just stay on this chair for a while, until you don't feel dizzy anymore.' Jeff said.

'Fine.' I sighed.
