I wasn't sure what to wear, I didn't want to look like I was trying too hard plus god knows I don't need any more attention but I was pretty bored so I figured why not dress up a bit.

I decided on a pair of black shorts with a cropped maroon tank top. Seemed calm enough yet cool. I found makeup in the bottom of the box, I don't get why I got it but ok.

I put it on so easily all they gave me was blush, something called concealer, mascara, and eye liner, besides lip balm.

I applied it according to the directions I wasn't sure what it was doing, and without the mirror it was bad but we made do.

I thought it might be a bit cold so I brought the leather jacket.

I walked up to see this big fire going on. As I walked up I got whistled at, so mature.

I found Newt sitting by himself, I went over to him.

"Hey" I said

He looked up for a second, looked away, and looked back up staring at me in awe.

"What" I asked "do I have something on my face?"

"N-no you look nice" he said "you look stunning"

He went bright red

"I mean not that you don't always look stunning, I mean you're pretty. I mean not like I'm into that or whatever you just look nice. I mean you always look nice but not like that ina f friendly way no wait that sounded bad i mean-"

"Newt, I got it. Thank you" I laughed

"Sorry" he laughed "what did you do to your eye, it's like a line with a triangle in the end. It looks cool"

"Haha its eyeliner, does it look ok. I didn't have a mirror" I felt insecure

"It looks great" he looked up

"Eloise" I heard a name call

I turned around to see Gally standing near me.

"Yes?" I asked

I walked over to him.

"I'm really sorry about what happened. Also thank you for getting me out of trouble. I still think I deserve it and I told Alby that but he didn't want to cross you so he wouldn't let me." He held up a drink "Peace offering? I don't expect you to drink it because I know you don't trust me plus its super strong only me, Minho, Alby, Theo, and Ben can drink more than one"

I took the drink, grinned and downed it all in under 30 seconds.

"One I do trust you, two I love strong stuff, and three apology accepted" I grinned

"That was hot... respectfully"

"Got another?" I asked

"I'll bring some to you and your lover over there"

"He's not my lover" I said turning a deep shade of red

"Tell him that" he whispered "I'll make you a deal. If I can get him to show any sign he likes you in a week you have to give me your mash potatoes everyday for a month and same vice versa"

"Not the mash potatoessss"

"Deal?" he stuck his hand out

"Deal" I shook his hand

I left and walked back to Newt. I sat down next to him.

"What was that about?" he asked

"Peace offering and he apologized"
