Newt // Advice (Pt.2)

Newt's POV

I've listened to Minho's advice for two weeks and I've gotten nowhere. He's had me flirt with her, attempt to impress her and be extra sweet to her but she still doesn't seem to show interest.

Except she's changed as well. She's wearing less clothing and not allowing me to help her in any way anymore and I don't know why. She's less open as she used to be too. I ask her questions she would usually answer no problem but not i have to beg for any kind of actual answer besides 'yes' or 'I'm fine'. I miss the old (Y/N).

Today was greenie day which meant three things: the greenie came up today, fresh supplies came up, and there would be a bonfire tonight. I had requested something, a gift, for (Y/N) and I got it today when the box came up. I was gonna give it to her tonight and see what happens.

I'm nervous of course but I'm worried too. I don't know this new (Y/N) so now I don't know how she'll react. What if she gets angry or blatantly humiliates me? Maybe this is a bad idea.

"Hey shank," (Y/N) said coming up to me. She never used to call me that until two weeks ago.

"Hey (Y/N)," I replied obviously angry.

"What's wrong with you? You sound about as happy as a Gally," she chuckled and crossed her arms over her chest. What's with her?

"Go bother someone who cares," I hissed and she looked suddenly taken back. She hadn't looked like that in two weeks.

"Okay.. shank," she said with a fake smile and walked off. She was upset now. What's going on with us?!

"What's wrong newt?" Minho chuckled taking the spot (Y/N) was just in. "You look like someone just twisted your undies."

"It's (Y/N). She's being so... so not herself and it's annoying! This isn't the girl I used to like," I groaned and saw Minho sit across from me.

"What do you mean? She's cool now. She's sassier and shuck, it makes her hotter. I like this new (Y/N)," Minho smirked and licked his lips.

"Well I don't. I don't know who she is anymore."

(Y/N)'s POV

"Go bother someone who cares," Newt growled with a hideous glare. It felt as if my world caved in as my mouth fell open. Why would he say that?

"Okay," I sighed but remembered what Zart told me to do. "Shank."

I spun around and walked back towards the homestead and up to my room. This time I knew he wouldn't follow.

Zart had told me over these past two weeks how to act and talk to Newt. He said to act tough and sassy cause guys like tough girls. He said to wear less and tighter clothing to show off my body to him. He said to never talk about my feelings, ever, because guys don't like hearing girls whine.

I don't think it's working though. All I think its doing is driving him away but Zart assures me it will do the trick. I don't wanna act mean or rude to him but I want him to like me.

I ran up the stairs and fell on the bed with my body curled into a ball. I let the dam break as I sobbed into the sheets. I gripped them in my fists as I cried for what felt like hours.

The door opened but I didn't feel like moving. I didn't want to know who it was let alone talk to them. I wanted to hide away and forget everything.

"(Y/N) what are doing?" It was Minho who asked. I just sniffled and bit my lip. I didn't want to talk. "Why are you being mean to Newt?"

"I-i-I'm not," I stuttered as I caught my breath from my cries. I sat up and looked at him.
