Thomas and I spent the rest of the day hanging out, he got his part of the maze checked by another runner because there were two who wanted to prove how good they are and were fighting over who got to run the extra one. Thomas just decided to give one of them his so that there wouldn't be any arguments, he's such a nice guy.

That night Thomas tucked me in under my blankets. It was nice of him.
He went back to his little camp of mates and their chattering sent me off to sleep.

.............

The next morning, Newt shook me awake before the sun could make me slip from my slumber.
He stood above me as he hugged the handle of a shovel.
"Rise and shine SophBean" he smiled. I raised and eyebrow "SophBean? What's that for?" I asked, with confusion leaking in my tone.
"I don't know, I was just trying it out Greenie! Ha, greenie is a mixture of greenbean and Sophie" I roll my eyes at his comments. "Wow! You're so smart Grewt" I laugh.
"Grewt?" He questions, this time it's him with the raised eyebrow.
"It just came to me, you're green and Newt" I continue the laughter
"wow, a real words smith" he complements sarcastically.
"Yup" I respond, now we're finally at the line for breakfast.
"Here you are Miss Shophie" Frypan politely says as he passes me a plate of bacon and eggs.
I sit at a table furthest away from all the other ones. It was free so I hope it stays that way so it can become my table.
"Hey, Soph, where's lover boy?" Minho teases.
"I was about to ask you the same question" I continue with laughter.
"What are you on about, I don't have a lover boy!" He questions.
"I don't even know" I laugh "But what do you mean, I don't have a lover boy either!"
"Haha, keep tell'n yourself that greenie" he smirks, 'what's with it and boys smirking, seriously!' I think to myself.
I give him a confused look "Wha-" I was cut off by Thomas sitting next to me. "Hey Sophie! Hi Minho" he greets.
I give Minho a look as if to say 'it's not him who likes me, is it?'
He just narrows his eyebrows and gives a quick flash to his left. I make the word what? With my lips, he does it again but then Newt sits down on Minho's left, the conversation, that has no words, stopped.

.......A/N she didn't notice who it was, did you?

"Ok, greenbean, time to get to work" Newt commanded.
"Ok, see you's later  then" I farewell as I walk with Newt to the gardens.
...........
After a few hours of work, I run out of things to do, so I go and ask Newt.
"So... Newt, I've run out of things to do, can I help out here with anything?"
"Ahhh?" He thinks "well, there is one thing you could do" he says, while scratching his neck.
"Ok, I'm up for it" I respond.
"Well, gardens need fertiliser, and well the fertiliser for this garden is found in the-" I cut him off "In the deadheads" I finish for him, I grab the bucket and little spade and head to the deadheads to get fertiliser.

While I'm in the deadheads, collecting fertiliser from the ground by the river- that always seems to have water flowing through it, even though it never rains- I hear twigs snap and fallen leaves, crunching.
I look up to see Thomas, who must've finished his running and mapping for the day.
"I thought I'd come and help you, seeming though when I was in your position and had to get the fertiliser, Ben attacked me, I don't want the same thing to happen to you" he smiled, I returned it.
"Well, I'd be happy to have a helping hand, or two, seeming though you have two hands not just one."
He chuckles at me, then leans down to help put fertiliser in the bucket.
He looks up at me, and stares me right in the eye, I stare back. We stay like that, with our eyes locked, he leans in, so do I, until I realise what's going on. I pull my head away "ah? We should probably get the fertiliser back to the gardens" I awkwardly say.
"Ah, yeah, goo-good idea" he replies, matching my awkwardness.
I lift the bucket and we walk back to the gardens.
"You took long enough!" Newt says, coming towards us.
I slightly blush, as does Thomas.
Newt looks back and forth between the two of us, eyebrows raise.
"I won't even ask" He says as he goes to take the bucket from me.
"No! Wait, Newt! Nothing happened between us. We just were caught off guard, by you saying that we took long enough. Nothing happened, I swear!" I reason.
"Look, Soph, I don't mind you two being a thing, now come on, we need to finish work!" He says, now actually taking the bucket.
I stand there for a few seconds before running after him, to try and explain again.

:.......................

At dinner I sat opposite Thomas, Newt next to me and Minho between Thomas and Chuck.
"So, how was everyone's days?" Minho asked,
"The usual, for me anyway, I can't say the same about Sophie and Thomas though." Newt smirks.
I roll my eyes. "Again! Nothing happened! We just talked while we collected the fertiliser!" I respond.
"Then why'd you both blush?" He questioned.
"Because you caught us off guard, we thought that you thought we were doing something in the deadheads together, besides scooping dirt and chatting. " I reply, getting more frustrated as the topic continues.
"Sure!" He says with disbelief.
"Whatever?" I roll my eyes "I thought of all people, you would believe me, but I guess I thought wrong!"
I get up and leave.

That was a long one! Ish.
Hope you liked it and I'll talk next chapter.
