I walked around the Glade, trying to spot Newt. Ever since I came up in the box, Newt had been there for me. He was one of my closest friends and the person I cared about the most. After a few seconds I was able to see that blonde british boy talking to our leader Alby. I walked over to meet them. Once I was standing next to him, Newt put his arm around me and gave me a smile. I pinched myself to stop me from blushing. Instead I gave him a stupid grin. "What's new Y/N?" Alby asked. "Oh nothing much. Just wanted to see what you two were up too." I answered, trying to keep calm with Newts muscular arm on my shoulder.

"I was just talking to Newt about how he needs to pick up those gardening tools those shanks left lying around." He said trying to look sternly at Newt. "Fine I'll do it in a minute." He said playfully rolling his eyes.

"Are you sure Newt?That's a lot of heavy equipment." I said smirking. We both knew I was lying. He might look lanky but damn, he was strong. "Love, I'm pretty sure I can pick up a few gardening tools." He said and flexed his arms. I giggled and playfully punched his arm. "Oh whatever." I said sarcastically.

Suddenly I heard Minho and Thomas calling my name from the homestead. I sigh and leave the two boys to see what Minho and Thomas wants. Once I make it over to them, I see them with their arms crossed smirking. "What are you guys smiling about?" I ask suspiciously. "Oh nothing. Just you and Newt FLIRTING!" Thomas practically shouts. My face burns red and I try to shush him. Minho hunches over laughing. "It's true though. You guys were all over each other with the smirking and the arm and the playful punching!" Minho laughs. Was it really that obvious? Ugh! If knew found out I would die of embarrassment. But he was flirting too. Right? "Alright well what do you suppose I do?"I questioned. "Okay. We'll help but you have to completely trust us." Thomas said. Oh boy.

THE NEXT DAY

I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself. I was wearing VERY short shorts and a tank top with the straps of my bra showing. To say I felt uncomfortable would be an understatement. After a while I gathered up the courage to face the glade. As I walked to the homestead to get my breakfast practically everybody stopped and stared. I wrapped my arms around my chest and try to walk confidently over to my group of friends sitting and eating. As I sat down everybody looked up at me. "What? It's hot out today." I said shrugging. I saw Newt making his way towards the table. "Hey, what's u..." Newt began to say but trailed off when he saw me. My face felt hot as I stared at my food. After everyone returns to their normal conversation I finish my food and got to work.

Since I worked in the fields, I felt everybody's eyes on me as I bent down to pick the vegetables out of the ground. "Hey Y/N. It's pretty hot today. Why don't you take off more of your clothes." Someone said. "Yeah. It's not like you're wearing much already." Another said earning a few laughs. That was it.

I stomped off to my room and slammed the door. I felt Embarrassed, angry, and sad. All I wanted was for Newt to like me. Obviously Minho and Thomas's plan didn't work. I heard a knock on the door and heard Newts voice. "Y/N? You in here?" he said. I trudged over to the door and opened it slightly. "What?" I mumbled. "What happened today?You've been acting weird." He asked with concerned eyes. "It's nothing important." I sighed brushing it off. I felt his fingers entwined with mine. "Love, everything you do is important to me." He said staring deeply into my eyes. I almost became entranced with his deep brown eyes. "Honestly, it's fine. Minho and Thomas told me I should do this." I said and saw his eyes widen. "Why would they bloody tell you to do that. He said bewildered.

"I was just trying to get someone's attention."

"Who?"

"You."

"Me?"

Yeah." I said biting my lip. "I kinda like you in a more than a friend way." I said quietly. I saw shock in Newts face as he tried to respond. "Well you could've just told me. I've had a crush on you for a while." He finally responded. I couldn't believe my ears. "But Y/N. you didn't need to go through all that trouble. Don't get me wrong, I think your beautiful. But I feel like your even more gorgeous on the inside." He said with a sweet smile. I could feel my face light up.Before I could lose my confidence, I leaned up and wrapped my arms around Newts neck and pulled him down to meet my lips in a kiss. His lips were soft and warm against mine. His hands went to my waist, pulling me closer to him. Once we broke apart we gazed into each others eyes and grinned. "So does this mean we can flirt even more since we're together?" He asked. "Oh yeah." I answered and pulled him into another kiss.
