My Last Request- Newt Death Cure

20

"Is there any chance that you and Newt will be a thing?" The little kid, Chuck spoke while chewing pizza on his mouth.

Skylar was sitted beside him at the center table of the whole isolated cafeteria. It was her vacant time and since Chuck's training starts at the afternoon, the two of them decided to chill out on the cafeteria. The place was just for them since everyone is either training or working.

She swirled her hands on the boy's chocolate locks and pinched his cheek. "You've been hanging out with Minho lately, don't you?"

He swatted her hand away. This muffin is so cute when annoyed. "It's not just Minho. It's everyone! Everyone who is anyone would think that you two are couples. But you'll be 'No he's just my bestfriend. Things might get awkward" He imitated her voice.

Few years had past since everyone started talking about love, crushes, and dates. Which she had no interest too. But no matter how much she tried tp avoid that topic, she'll always be part of it. It's because everyone has been teasing her and Newt. People would called them inseparable and they would say they have something more than just being friends.

"Skylar I need you to be totally honest with me." Chuck creased his eyebrows as an attempt to make a serious face. "Do you like him?"

Newt's a nice guy. He's fun to be around and we've been friends for a really long time. I mean I'm totally honest that there's an idea inside me being with him. But I don't think it'll do any better. It might ruin our long time friendship. But there's still something about him that delights me. Actually his whole idea a presence does.

So yeah. I'm finally admitting it. I like him. A lot. She mentally slapped herself.

"Uh? Yeah I like him. He's my bestfriend and nothing more. And if I ever had this so called feelings towards him, does he have one for me?" The last sentence pierced her a bit, but she kept her straight face.

"Ofcourse he does!" The boy throwed his arms on the air. "When you guys are together, his eyes are always darted on you! And to exaggerated it, sparkling! And- his smile wouldn't leave his face when you're with him! He also said that 'Oh God! She's the one!"

She made a chuckle before the words hit her. Wait. "Newt actually said that?"

"Yea-"

"SKYLAAAAR!"

Chuck's response was cut off by someone who barged in the cafeteria and plopped down besides Skylar. Newt.

He placed his hands around her shoulder and messed her hair. "We had an early lunch time. I don't wan'na line up so I dashed as quickly as I bloody could in 'er"

All she could do was smile and nod at him. This is the exact reason why I don't want to have feelings for this guy. It gets awkward.

"I think you shanks are talkin' about somethin', mind sharin' it?"

"It's actually abou-" She was cut off by Chuck. Who jumped above the table and clapped his hands.

"YOU LIKE HIM, HE LIKES YOU! NOW YOU WILL BE TOGETHER!"

Newt let out a laughter. "You're so bloody cute Chuckie!"

"Ha-ha very funny Chuck" She said sarcastically. Am I being too obvious?

"Hey don't be grumpy at lil ol'chuckie" Newt leaned close to her ear. His lips almost touching it. "Well the truth is.."

"I do like you. A lot Skylar." He paused and an awkward silence fell between them.

Did he just? Say that he likes me? A lot? She felt her cheeks burn up and her palms sweatier than ever. And to make things worse, Newt wasn't removing his hand around her shoulder.
