Your POV

"No"

"Wait? What?"

"I said no"

"But why?"

"Look Luke I like you a lot, really, just not that way"

"Oh..."

And with that he left, they always do this. Just another day in this shucking glade. Being the only girl is not easy, I just don't get why they all want a girlfriend. And because I'm the only girl I always get hit on. I'm happy when I can get back to my hut after work and get some peace. I open my make shift wooden door. It makes a lot of sound, but I like it. It sounds like home, like my place. Only mine. I quickly lock it before someone comes to disturb my peace.

"Uhhhh..." I hear behind me

I turn around looking in the direction the sound came from.

"Newt?"

He sits in silent on my bed, knees held to his chest. He looks at me, no emotion on is face.

"Hey, Newt. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine"

"Well what are you doing in here?"

"I'm sorry" He says, looking down

"No, no, it's fine. Just tell me"

"I'm worried and this is the only quiet place I can think. I thought you wouldn't mind"

"I don't mind, really, but what are you worried about?"

"We're not going to find a way out. The runners have mapped everything, there is no exit. No escape."

"Oh, Newtie" I say as I walk closer and pull him tight into my chest, hugging him.
"We will find a way out, they can't keep us here forever. What fun is it to watch old people walk around in this glade. They will let us out, I'm sure of it"

He wraps his arms around my waits and pulls me closer, resting his head in the crook of my neck.

"Thank you, love. I needed this" He whispers into my ear.

"Of course, Newt. I'm always here for you. You hungry?"

He nods in my neck. I take his hand, unlock the door again and we make our way to Frypan. A line for diner has already formed. We stand in line and I give Newt another reassuring smile.

Newt POV

We take our food and sit alone on a log. I look at her, she puts her hair behind her ear while taking a bite. The sun shines on the side of her face, making it shine even more. She has these beautiful y/e/c eyes that twinkle when she laughs.

"Aren't you going to eat?" She interupts my daze.

"I'm not that hungry"

"Come on, Newt. Please, just one bite"

"Fine" I say taking a tiny bite.

She looks at me with an annoyed face that says 'really'. I quietly giggle before taking another one. This time a bit bigger. She nods at me and turns back to her own food.

Y/N is my best friend. She helped me out of the box two years ago. Such things create a bond. She is the first pair of eyes I remember seeing, the first pair of hands I remember holding and the first voice I remember hearing. Of course I have developed feelings for her, I'm still a human being, but I know it won't work out. Every guy here likes her, hits on her every day. She would just think I'm one of them and that's so not true. I don't like her because she is the only girl, I like her because she is Y/N. She always puts everyone else first. She likes to play with Chuck even tho she is tired from working all day. She likes cooking with Frypan and singing songs while doing that. She likes dancing around the bonfire like no one is watching. I admire that about her. She is everything a boy could ever dream for, but it's not going to happen...

Your POV

I'm sitting at the bonfire. Minho on one side and Newt on the other. They're talking about something, but I'm not really paying attention. My gaze is stuck on the fire. How the beautiful flames dance in the soft evening breeze. How it glows on every gladers face. It's amazing that there can be such beautiful things in such a horrible place.

"uhm.. Y/N" Minho taps on my shoulder

"What?"

"New boy at three o'clock"

I look at him walking over. Oh god, here we go again.

"Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?"

A night in the maze sounds really good right now.

"Yeah, but maybe this time don't stop"

Minho and Newt both let out a loud snort, while the guy turns red and walks back to his friends.

"Good one, Y/N!" Minho says

"Thanks, I need a drink. I'll be right back."

Newt POV

Minho shifts closer to me, a huge smirk on his face.

"What?"

"Come on, Newt. Don't hide it from me, I'm your best friend"

"I don't know what you're taking about"

"You like the girl"

"Why would you think that"

"Newt, I'm not stupid. I have seen the way you look at her, besides I saw you two leaving her hut before dinner. What was that all about?" He wiggles his eyebrows.

"Nothing happend"

"If you say so. But admit that you like her"

"No"

"You either admit it or I'm just going to tell her"

"No"

"Alright fine" he starts to stand up

I quicly grab his arm, pulling him back down.

"Fine, fine. I like her. A lot. But she would never want me. Every guy here hits on her, she'll just think I'm one of them"

"I won't"

I quickly turn around. Y/N is standing behind me her face orange from the light of the fire.

"Y/N, bloody hell"

She chuckles.

"Well that's my que to leave" Minho stands up, walking to the runners.

Y/N sits next to me. Our shoulders are touching, but I try not to freak out like a teenage girl.

"You're not like the others, Newt" She starts

"I'm not?"

"No, you're more genuine. More carefull. More caring. I admire that about you, that's why I like you"

"You like me?" I swallow the lump in my throath

"Yeah..."

She stares at the ground, her cheeks lightly turn red. She is so cute. I smile at the sight and put an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Good that" I whisper in her hair.

AN: No kissing end, sorry. I know it's not the best, but I just thought this was cute. We all need a Newt in our life, right? Don't forget to vote and comment! (Requests are still open, just go to the first chapter)
