jealousy ~Newt~

Newt guided you through the Homestead. It was you're third day on the Glade and the Keepers were having a meeting about which job you will get. Lucky for you Newt had taken a shine to you and had been talking and touring you around the Glade non stop. He was incredibly sweet! And good looking but somehow you sensed that developing a crush on this boy would not be a good idea. So far everyone you had met was nice. Alby had pulled you out of the Box who you later found out was the leader of this place. It was quite a shock getting out to see a crowd of forty boys staring at you. However, now you felt settled and couldn't wait to get to work. Newt held the door open for you as the both of you walked into an already full room with only two chairs empty.
"Sorry, we're a bit late." Newt huffed.
"You're setting a bad example!" Alby granted. You sat in the chair next to Newt. Across from you was a boy who you hadn't met. He was grinning at you, not stopping even after you made eye contact. His biceps were giant so you guessed he must be a Builder or he worked in the gardens. "Alright, let's get this started! Y/N needs a job, what are you good at?" Ably asked you.
"Um me! Well, I suppose...I sort of...I don't know, I can't remember..." You stuttered, your face fell. You couldn't even remember what you were good at or what you liked to do! You felt a hand on your shoulder.
"Don't worry Y/N, you can be my assistant." Newt smiled.
"That's hardly fair!" Said the boy sitting across from you "I'm Gally by the way." He said it with such charm as he reached out to shake your hand. "You can't keep her to yourself."
"Oh, bloody-" Newt began.
"Maybe she would want to work as my assistant, nothing like a women's touch to help with the building." He explained smugly.
"You're a Builder?" You asked even though the answer was obvious.
"Yes, Keeper too." Gally grinned.
"I could tell from your..." You gestured at his arms.
"Oh these," he smiled admiring his biceps "thank you."
"Ok enough," Newt ordered. You felt a pang of guilty erupt in your stomach as you looked up to see Newt's clearly jealous face.
"Someone's jealous," Winston whispered to Minho. They both tried their hardest to hold back their laughter as Newt's cheeks began to blush.
"Slim it you two!" Newt demanded. Newt looked down at you only briefly. You tried to explain to him how bad you felt through your eyes but he was blind to it. "And I'm not jealous, Y/N can work with whoever she wants."
"So you gonna join me?" Gally asked arrogantly. You weren't going to do this to Newt plus you really didn't want to be a Builder. Although if you chose Newt everyone would know you kind of liked him.
"Can I work in the kitchens with Frypan?" You asked since it was the first thing to come to your head.
"Fine by me," Frypan agreed. He clearly had no interest in you. Gally seemed to just shrug of his rejection where as Newt seemed more hurt.
"Great then you'll start tomorrow," Alby said. You nodded. "Y/N, you can go if you want." Alby then continued on to another topic. You looked over at Newt who's head was down.
"We still up for lunch?" You smiled at Newt. He looked up confused then realised you were practically asking him out.
"Of course." He smiled sweetly. Smiling back, you got up and left the meeting room.
