Having completed the task of washing the last remaining dinner plates, I began walking across the glade, departing from the kitchens and making my way into the common area. It was a lively scene, with most of the glade boys engaged in various activities such as chatting, fighting, and drinking. As I walked, I couldn't help but notice that my hoodie clung to me due to sweat, so I took a moment to adjust it. Among the hustle and bustle, I noticed many of the boys I was close to gathered in a circle near the bonfire, engaged in lively conversation. I decided to make my way over to join them.
"Hello Boys," I smiled,
"Hey Y/n," Came from a few faces, but one caught my interest,
"Hey Love," Newt smiled to me as he sat on the grass his wrist learnt on his raised knee,
"Hi Newt," I smiled fixing my hair behind my ear a little, but I went and sat beside Chuck listening to the boys chat,
As I sat there contemplating whether to go and join Newt, my mind was in turmoil. I had a massive crush on him, and the thought of sitting next to him made me worry that I would turn into a stuttering mess. On the other hand, I didn't want to come across as avoiding him by staying away. It's funny how much mental effort I put into something that most boys probably wouldn't even notice, especially Newt.
Soon enough the conversation turned and I couldn't help but laugh at the suggestion.
"Come on guys who's in for truth or dare?" Minho smirked,
No one was that enthusiastic but no one called him a shank so I suppose the game was on. It started off with the basic stupid boy things exchanging random basic truth facts as well as people doing stupid little things, all the while... I noticed Newt and I often met eyes across the circle almost like we were chatting across the circle with smiles and eye rolls like the sarcasm factories we are, but I often noticed whenever I glanced up at him he would already be looking at me and often glance away. But I didn't let it stay in my mind long, after all, I didn't want to get my hopes up.
"Truth or Dare Gally?" Minho chuckled,
"Truth," Gally nodded,
"What's the strangest dream you've had?"
"Hu... I guess I once dreamed that I came into the glade and all of you were like anthropomorphic animal creatures. It was very strange,"
Of course, the circle erupted into laughter,
"Were you human?" I asked,
"I was that's the baffling bit," He nodded, "Okay... Fry truth or dare,"
"Dare," He nodded,
"Oooohh" Came from the circle,
"Share someone's secret, without sharing their name?"
"Anyone?"
"Anyone but you,"
I gulped a little as I knew, Fry knew. about how I felt about Newt. So I sat sipping some moonshine rather sheepishly.
"Someone here... who I cannot name. Has a crush on someone else who is also here."
Of course, the circle erupted into cheers, whispers and theories.
Newt and I glanced at each other briefly but both just turned red and looked away,
"Humm Newt?" Fry smirked,
"Yeah?"
"Truth or dare,"
"Ohh bloody hell, truth,"
"Who would you kiss in this circle?"
He sighed a little, "Well Obviously Y/n,"
Of course, the circle erupted with ooh's and wolf whistles,
