A5 // Newt x Reader

Chapter 3

I woke up with the sun beaming on my face. I open my eyes to see that I was alone on the bed.

"Newt?" 

No response. Weird. I thought to myself. 

"Newt? You there?" 

Nothing. I got out of bed and felt something grab my shoulder. I screamed but a hand clamped my mouth. Then laughter. I turned around.

"Newt! You scared me half to death!" 

We burst into laughter and he pulled me into a tight hug.

"Good morning Chloe." 

"Good morning. What time is it?" 

"About 7." 

"Oh, so we have some free time!" 

Newt and I sat on the bed, talking about random stuff. 

"You know, your amazing Chloe." 

I blushed really hard. Over the past few days, I've started to develop strong feelings for Newt. He's been so sweet letting me stay in his room. 

"Chloe you alright?" 

I realized I hadn't said anything for a while. 

"Yeah sorry lost in thought." 

I had to tell him somehow. I was thinking of ways when Minho came barging in.

"Morning lovebirds!" 

I rolled my eyes, then it hit me. I knew how I would tell him. 

"Morning Minho. Can I talk with you for a minute?" 

"Yeah sure."

I said bye to Newt and walked to the deadheads with Minho.

"Sooo what's up?"

"It's about Newt."

Minho's face lit up, an evil smirk on his face. 

"Go on."

"Well, uh. I need your help with telling him I like him." 

Minho screamed. 

"SHHH!" 

"Sorry, I have a few questions. 1, how much do you like him. 2, how much do you trust me, and 3, do you know how to read a watch." 

Odd questions but okay. 

"I like him a lot, I trust you 100%, and yes." 

"Good." 

He handed me a watch he had in his pocket. 

"Take this. If anyone asks your holding mine for me. Only runners are supposed to have these, so keep it low-key. Lunch starts at 12, so meet me in the dead-heads at 11:30. Got that?"

I nodded, and I walked back to Newt's room. He was still sitting on the bed, lost in thought. I sat behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck. 

"Hi." I whispered in his ear. 

"Hi." He whispered back. I laughed and sat next to him, resting my head on his shoulder. He started playing with my hair when Minho ran in. 

"Hey lovebirds, Chloe is trying out for the track-hoes today. Get ready." 

"Aren't you a track-hoe?" I asked Newt, praying he was. 

"Yep. You get to spend the whole day with me."
