Heres the first section of fraze 8! I think. Or 7. Whats our next section? Anyway, heres the next one. Warning: cora is nit smart. A lot of edita may need to be made. This is just a weird and loose draft, luke all of mine, but this one has mich more work to be desired😐

What a long day… I have now been waiting… for 4 hours. It was getting late. It was almost 8:20! I needed to head home now, or Mr smith would take out the wooden spoon again. Gosh do i hate that spoon. One good thing was that i managed to get a week supply of bread that i could sneak into my room if i was hungry. I also FINALLY got to keep reading the book Nik lent me. I was almost a mediocre reader, and it was fun. I liked the mysteries and faint galaxies that it contained. A mind dimension where anything at all could happen. Does newt come here at one time in the day? What if his parents killed him?!

Just when i thought about giving up, newt came through the door looking tired and annoyed. I was ecstatic. NEWT. HE’S NOT DEAD. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE OK. (well, i can’t say the same for Riley) When he walked in, he saw me, and immediately voided contract. Was this personal? I hope it was just because we’re not allowed to talk. Newt came to a table on the far side of the mess hall. I was a bit disappointed, but pushed it away and focused on finding out how we were going to talk. Mhm… risk just going up to him, or thinking out the box and make it interesting…

Well obviously i’m gonna choose to make it interesting. I looked up at the main big light in the center of the mess hall, hanging just a bit far away from me. I didn't see the light switch.. So i guess i am gonna need to make this interesting. Sorry public property! I took the fork that was next to me and threw it underneath the table toward the far corner of the mess hall. Since everyone was concentrating on what they were doing and were really quiet, everyone was startled by the loud metal noise and turned their head in that direction. I was in the corner, so no was looking in my direction right now. That was my que to throw the knife i had next to me at the big light. Not only did it shatter, but the whole place went pitch dark. I could only make out the slight outlines of people, including Newt. Panic erupted from all places. While that was happening, i felt the tables to navigate and find my way to newt. I bumped into a few people on the way, and remembered not to say sorry so they wouldn’t recognize me.

I finally got to Newts table, took him by the arm and pulled him out of the mess hall while everyone was distracted. When we were outside and he saw who was dragging him, he had a mix of confusion and relief.

“Cora? Ok first, were not allowed to even glance at each other, don’t you know that? Also, did you do that?!” he said.

“Newt, i REALLY needed to talk to you. It’s about how you, Red, Nik and I are going to meet up.” i was also happy to see him here, with all his limbs, but one must not mention that.

“Are you aware that they closed the arena?” i asked.

“Yea, i found out yesterday. One of the guards is my uncles sisters friends childs friends father.”

“Ok, well, Red thought that because of the hopefully temporary closing of the arena, that we should find a different place to train, hang out and talk. But a place hidden from the public. Except.. we don’t know of such place. So Red and i need to know if you do.” i said hopefully. He seemed to be giving it some thought. I wonder what he was thinking right now? Was i being more strange that usual?

“You know, i think i do know some place.. Its this place that i used to go to, next to the other side of berk, by the bay. But i haven’t been there in a while since i went to boarding school.”

“That’s great!” i said. “Now once i tell everyone, we can all hang out again! We should go tomorrow to find it and make it official! Thanks Newt! That’s awesome! I need to go or else!” i was about to run off, but then Newt said,

“What? What’s gonna happen?”

I froze. Oh no. this is just like the party. The look on Newts face told me he knew. Again.

“Is your father going to beat you?” he said.

He’s not my father.

I started to back away, but he then grabbed my arm.

“Look, there is something else that we need to talk about. I have been avoiding it for a while.. But it’s about the party.”

I dreaded this moment. I have also tried to avoid it. I mean, i already forgave him! I think.. I'm not sure. But i didn't hate him. I could never hate anyone.(except kinda that one person who i should really be heading to now!)

“Newt, really.. Its ok-” i half lied.

“No look, i said that i’m not as dumb as people say, but apparently i am. I didn’t realize that what i said would hurt you. I guess i don’t think before i speak.” he said.

I half smiled. “That is sortoff a habit you have.” i said trying to lighten up the mood.

“Well, im sorry. I know now that it’s better that i don't speak, and i'm sorry that i ever did say that to you, its just i, well.. I..”

I hugged Newt.

“Really newt, i forgive you. I always did. Don’t feel bad about it. We all do bad things. I just blew up a big ceiling light!”

We both chuckled.

“Well, that's good to know. You should head off before.. You know..” he said.

“Yea i should. Tomorrow at morning i'll meet you at the edge of the forest to find the hideout!”

I ran off, and turned around one last time.

“And, it’s nice to have someone else who understands.” i said.

I then turned, and ran off, just before the people started coming out of the mess hall.
