Oh my gosh guys thank you so much for 500 reads that means a lot! I'll try to write more chapters more frequently! <3

It was the next morning after the bonfire, last night I realized my feelings for Newt. Once I became self aware, I couldn't really think about him without getting flustered. I knew this was bad because I talk to him so much everyday and I don't wanna make a fool out of myself.

I finally had my own room now and decided to get up and ready for the day. The day after bonfire's, Alby allows us to have a late start to our day, well, except the runners. I decide to get ready for the day so I can go and eat breakfast. I didn't really drink that much so I don't feel like shit.

As I approach the lunch area where we eat, I greet Frypan. "Hey Fry, what's for breakfast?" Frypan smiles while answering, "Sup y/n, I made bacon, eggs, and toast today" "Oh my gosh yesss!" I said excitedly knowing I was going to clear my plate the second I got it. I got my tray and thanked Fry, then head to the table I usually sit it which only Thomas and Minho were at as of now. I mentally went to ease, at least I didnt have to face Newt after my realizations about him at the moment. I sat down next to Minho and across from Thomas. Thomas was asking Minho a million questions about the glade per minute, Minho looked like it was too early for Thomas's running mouth.

"Hey guys," I say. Minho sighs, in an 'Oh thank God!' way. "Hi y/n" Minho says. He looks a little rough from last night since he drank so much. I got the memory of him and Newt dancing around the bonfire like idiots which made me internally laugh. "Hi y/nnnn," my brother says in a teasing way, "anything happen last night when I left?" I dropped my fork and my eyes went wide, "Thomas, shuck off" I scold him. "What are you shanks talking about?" Minho asked confused, looking between the two of us. "Nothing, Thomas just likes to try to be funny. Isn't that right?" Thomas just blows me a kiss in a joking way. "Man twins are weird" Minho says as he digs back into his food. Just then, Chuck slides in and sits next to me. "Hiya guys!" he says excitedly. "Hey Chuck" we all say back. We continue eating while the table is filled with light conversation about stupid things like: who was born first me or Thomas? and our theories on how Gally's eyebrows point up like that?

Newt finally joins the table, and let's just say you can tell he's hung over. He slams his tray in the table and just stands for a second. His eye bags were very prominent and he looked sick. His hair was also going in all different directions which looked more cute than bad. Bro y/n it's been two seconds and we're already going crazy over him. "Well good morning to you sleeping beauty" Minho jokes. Newt just rolls his eyes and sits next to Thomas. "Not going to lie you look like shit" Thomas says as we all laugh. "Very funny Tommy," Newt says as he stabs his eggs with his fork. I giggle at this. "You're such a lightweight, Newt" Minho says. "Yeah and you look bloody great too today Minho." Me and Chuck laughed which made Minho give us a serious side eye and I mumbled sorry while trying to contain myself.

Ben, who was a runner, approached our table, "Minho, ready to go?" He asked, ready to go into the maze. "Yes please just get me away from this table." Minho said sassily. I scoffed, "How rude Minho!" "Yea sorry I don't want to be stuck with you, your brother who can't shut it, your boyfriend, and your little kid." Hello? No way Minho just called Newt my boyfriend. Does he know? Is it that obvious I like Newt? My eyes went wide and I saw Newts did too. I saw Thomas put a hand to his mouth trying to hold in his laughter and I heard Chuck gasp. I know my face was definitely pink but I had to say something quick so it wasn't obvious I actually did like Newt, "You know you love us Minho!" While he was walking away he didn't even turn his head back at me. Instead, he just flipped me off. All four of us laughed.

"Okay bye guys, I need to go to work and wash the dishes." Chuck said. We all said our byes to Chuck so now it was just me, Thomas, and Newt. "Okay Tommy, today you have tryouts for your job and I am pretty sure right now you're with the builders" Newt began. "Ughhhh a whole half a day stuck with Gally" Thomas groaned. "Come on, it won't be that bad," Newt reassured. "I'll bet fifty bucks they get into a fight" I joked. "Oh you are so on," Newt turned to me, "but we don't have money." "Fine, whoever loses has to give the other Frypan's cookies for dessert that we are getting tonight" "Deal." Newt stuck out his hand. I grabbed it and shook it, "Deal."

"Okay Tommy, we'll bring you to work now." Newt said standing up. "You'll be done by lunch and you can tell us who won." Me and Newt walked Thomas to wear Gally was, he was already cutting some pieces of wood. I grabbed Thomas, "As your sister, I would tell you to stay out of trouble but for the sake of today, if Gally pisses you off-" "I'll put him in his place." Thomas finished for me. "Good." I said and smiled at my brother. "Hey don't forget as second in command you can get some consequences for your actions." Newt said. "Hey no fair Newt you're taking advantage of your power" I whined. Newt just shrugged. "Alright bye guys I'd rather be with Gally than you two flirting." Thomas said while walking towards Gally. I couldn't see his face but I know for a fact he had a huge smirk on it. "WE ARE NOT FLIRTING!" We both yelled at him at the same time. "Whatever you say!" Thomas yelled back.

Me and Newt both went to go towards to gardens to start our day of work. "Oh you are so going down" I said. "Yeah right." He teased back.

Me and Newt were working all day and I was very exhausted. It was about an hour before lunch when a runner I didn't know of came running towards Newton. "Newt! It's important you need to come." Newt stood up quickly dropping his tools. I quickly perked up my head, eavesdropping. "What is it?" He asked concerned. "It's Ben!" the Glader began, "he's been stung." He said. "Oh shit," Newt said while running to wherever Ben was with the random Glader.

It was finally time for lunch and the news about Ben being stung already got out around the glade. How come he was stung in the middle of the day? I grabbed my food from Fry and sat at my table, it was everyone but Minho who must've been with Ben in the medjacks hut because of what happened. I sat next to Newt. "Hey," I said to him with a toothless smile, "Hi," he said back smiling. "Any new info on Ben?" "Yea we gave him the serum but he's still kind of going crazy." Newt replied. "What does the serum do?" Thomas asked, I almost forgot he's hasn't been here for long. "Well it kind of makes the pain go away a bit and also makes you less crazy throughout the changing but it doesn't always work effectively." Newt answered. Right on queue a scream was heard throughout the entire Glade. It honestly scared my so bad I quickly grabbed onto Newts arm. It was loud and lasted about five seconds. It sounded like someone was getting murdered. Poor Ben. "I feel bad for Ben he's really nice, must be shucked up memories" We all agreed. I looked at my brother and saw he was deep in thought. I wonder what was on his mind.

"Well let's change the subject," Newt started, "Tommy, how was work today?" "Funny you ask Newt because it was going okay," Thomas began. I saw Newt smiling, thinking he won. "Until, I almost hammered his hand, which is so not true I wasn't even close to his hand and he got so mad at me and then we started going back and forth and blah blah blah. But he let me off early, so he technically y/n wins!" "YES!" I say hysterically laughing, "HAHAHAHA Newt you have to give me all your cookies!" I say while grabbing onto his shoulders. "Shuck off!" he says trying to act annoyed but I can tell by his smirk he isn't actually.

"So Thomas, what job do you have next?" Chuck asks. "I think Slicer tryouts with Winston." he responds. "Well you better not be squeamish like your sister here," Newt says while putting an arm around my shoulders, "she got so grossed out by all the blood she shucking threw up!" "Seriously!?" Thomas said, all three boys laughed. "Newt shut up!" I said while pushing him off. "I still have scars from accidentally cutting myself" I said and rolled up my sleeves while showing the boys., "look!" "Those are cool y/n!" Chuck said. "Thanks!" I responded. "Woah, woah, woah," Newt said while grabbing my arms and running his fingers on my scars. Butterflies exploded in my stomach from his touch. "Why did you never tell me about those? They look like they hurt!" Newt said very concerned while holding my hands. He was still investigating the scars. "Newt it's fine it wasn't that bad." I said taking my hands away and rolling my sleeves back down. Thomas started giggling. "What?" Newt said. "Looks like I'm winning Chuck!" Thomas said back. Huh? What does that even mean? "We'll see about that" Chuck responded. "I don't even wanna know what you shanks are talking about."

We all continued eating until lunch ended. Thomas went to the Bloodhouse while Chuck went to go wash dishes. "Alright y/n, I am going to go check on Ben then i'll be right back in the gardens." Newt said to me while we were walking out alone. "Okay i'll see you later, tell me everything that happens. Okay?" "Good that." Newt says while jogging to the Medjacks hut. I noticed his limp again and I almost forgot about it. I just continued walking to the Gardens and ignored it.
