New Friend

|~<:o:>~|
One Week In The Glade
Gwen's POV

I've been in the Glade for a week now and I made a new friend his name is Winston and he is now my bestfriend. I always steal him from his job even though I'm not suppose to. I can't help it I don't like to be alone plus nobody ever says anything.

We were in the woods, Winston was walking with me as I weaved through the trees dancing.

"Can I tell you a secret?" I giggle.

"Of course." He smiles.

"Ok but you have to promise to never tell anyone else, and you have to take it to your grave." I said putting out my pinky.

"Promise." He says as he wrapped his pinky around mine.

"Ok well there's this boy, well kinda nothing would ever happen between us but a girl can always dream right?" I giggle.

"Oh spill!" He says his eyes shinning with curiosity.

"Well he has these beautiful blue eyes and-"

"Shut up! You like Newt?!" He yells.

"Shhhh." I run over putting my finger up to his lips. "Someone might here you."

"Sorry." He mumbles.

"Well yes it's Newt but it doesn't matter because I could never get him but I won't lie there's this other boy I think they are friends, he's not too bad himself."

"Gally?" He questioned.

"Eyebrows, no gosh never!" I shake my head at the thought of it.

"Minho?" He tilts his head.

"Ya I think that's his name but I be better off going after the other boys anyway." I shrug.

"Maybe but don't ever take it too far you never know maybe in the future you will get one."

"He just makes me want to sing."

"Then sing Gwen, give me a song."

I laugh before thinking of something. I clear my throat getting ready to sing as loud as I can to let my feelings out.

Everything's been so messed up here lately
Pretty sure he don't wanna be my baby
Oh, he don't love me, he don't love me, he don't love me, he don't love me
But that's ok
'Cause I love me, yeah, I love me, yeah, I love me, yeah, I love myself anyway (hey)

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be ok
It's gonna be a good, good life
That's what my therapist say
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be just fine
It's gonna be a good, good life

I'm a mess, I'm a loser
I'm a hater, I'm a user
I'm a mess for your love, it ain't new
I'm obsessed, I'm embarrassed
I don't trust no one around us
I'm a mess for your love, it ain't new

Nobody shows up unless I'm paying
Have a drink on me cheers to the failing
Oh, he don't love me, he don't love me
He don't love me, he don't love me
But that's okay
Cause I love me, yeah, I love me
Yeah, I love me, yeah, I love myself anyway
Hey

(I'm A Mess By: Bebe Rexha)

"That was amazing!"

"Thanks." I turn and hit him. "Tag your it!"

"No fair!" He yells as he chases me.

We run through the middle of the Glade where all the boys look over at us laughing.

Newts POV

We were all working when someone started to sing, it was coming from the woods. I instantly knew it was Gwen. She and Winston always sneak off and hang out in there hiding from Gally who always yells at Winston for slacking off. I worked as I listened to the words she was saying.

"I'm a mess, I'm a loser. I'm a hater, I'm a user. I'm a mess for your love, it ain't new. I'm obsessed, I'm embarrassed." She was pretty much screaming and singing at the same time.

The lyrics were obviously about somebody you could hear it in her voice. She sounded amazing. But it just made me wonder who this person was making her think way about herself?
