*Chose an outfit*

(Your pov)

I walked out from homestead and found a wooden box beside my hammock. It wasn't open because the top was still having some kind of glue on it. I was so happy it wasn't opened yet. I wouldn't like boys snooping around my things. Or more my underwear. I opened the box and found lots of clothes nicely folded inside. I picked up a t-shirt with a pair of sweatpants and a pair of new panties with a bra. I closed the box stepping on it closing extra well so I would know if someone did open it up. I took those clothes into homestead and walked upstairs since no one else except keepers are allowed in. I walked to Newt's room since I was in there already and he wouldn't let me change anywhere else. I covered for the window just for safety before changing into way more comfortable clothes. I took off that tight bra taking on a more lose one even if it would be tonnes better without one. I losed my hair from the ponytail letting it rest and weren't really sure where I should put those dirty clothes. I have to wash them by hand, but I don't have the energy to do it right now especially when am hungry.

I walked out from the room and decided to put them into the box until now so they won't disappear. I did as I thought and walked to the watchtower like Newt told me too. I wasn't sure why, but you saw it easily. It was a big tower built upon a old tall dead tree with a platform by the forest edge. I was little nervous because I don't like heights, but I was going to be with Newt and that made me little less nervous or worried.

I walked to the tower and Newt was already on top. I looked up and it was much taller than I thought. -Common love, it's stable, Newt teased looking down at me and I smiled to myself climbing on the ladder. It's just couple meters up, nothing to worry about.

I climbed up not looking down and got up to the platform seeing a brown blanket on the wood with two plates with potatos and meat stew. -I know you don't like heights, but this is the best view in the whole Glade, Newt said walking to me taking my hand helping me up to my feet. You saw the whole Glade from here and it felt almost like you were looking at it from top. -I guess heights have their advantages, I said smiling and Newt leaded me to the blanket sitting down beside me. And there was another one folded on his side. -It took me all day, but here we are. Let me explain everything to you love, Newt said smiling at me and the tour from the watchtower began.

~Time skip~

Newt explained everything from A to Z and things gained sense. I asked couple questions and we quickly got off the main subject talking about some random things having a good laugh. I really like spending time with Newt and it still feels like I know him from somewhere. It's weird that I know that Newt has always been protective towards me and that he just wants the best even if I don't always agree to follow his instructions. It feels like we know each other for ages and that we are close even if we know each other for just two days. Those two days feel like two years and this bond between us doesn't seem to change from what I remember having with Newt.

We ate dinner and just talked until it began to get dark and chilly. Even if I slept during the day I was getting tired from everything today and was getting cold. I looked at the Glade and couple gladers walked around lighting up jars making it light around homestead. I didn't notice that before and it was looking beautiful here. I rubbed my arm trying to warm myself little small shivering and Newt swang the a blanket around me pulling closer into him having his arm around me. -This place isn't so bad actually, I said looking at Newt making him smile. -Sometimes it isn't. How you like it here so far? Newt asked curiously and I swang the blanket around him too. -It's fine. It could be much worse, I giggled resting my head into Newt's collarbone. -How worse? Newt asked warping his arms around me keeping both warm while the sun was disappearing behind the walls after the walls closed couple hours ago. -It could be filled with people only like Ray, I said relaxing into Newt.
