It was late afternoon in the Glade, most people were hard at work, meanwhile Newt found himself silently raging inside as he watched the newest newbie, Teresa, do an awful job at planting a crop.
The girl stood up and admired her work, proud of herself. Newt stood behind, on her right. He had one hand in his chin while using the other to support it.
"So? What do you think?" The brunette asked, her smile showcasing how oblivious she was to her mistake.
Newt's whole expression changed when she turned to look at him. His nose scrunched and his arms fell on his side, slightly tensing up.
"It's um, definitely something." He stuttered, trying his best to hide his disgust.
Teresa tilted her head at his response, her face going blank. She crossed her arms over her chest.
It seemed like suddenly everything went quiet, no more laughter or yelling from the other Gladers. It made the atmosphere between the two nothing but more awkward.
"Teresa! Thomas said he's looking for you." A voice called from a few feet away.
It was no other than Nikki. The only girl in the Glade, that was until Teresa showed up.
"He said it was urgent and that he will wait for you at the homestead." She added before pointing to it, making sure Teresa looked that way before giving Newt a wink.
Teresa looked back at him, waiting for a response, allowing her to go.
"If it's urgent you must go, innit? Go on." He said, shooing her away with his hands.
The girl wasted no time and ran towards the homestead, wondering what Thomas wanted.
After the girl was far away to not be able to hear them, Newt grabbed Nikki's arms, finally feeling relieved.
"Thank you. I thought I'll go bloody nuts if I had to see her continue to plant crops wrongly." Newt ranted, giving an insight of how his day has been.
