Lost

The Next Day

" Wake up, lovebirds!" I slowly opened my eyes. Minho stood in front of me and he's smirking! I looked around until I noticed I was still laying on top of Newt. When I quickly moved away, Newt woke up and opened his eyes. At first, he looked confused, then he realized what had happened last night and moved away from me.
" What do you want, Minho?" I stood up, hands on my hips.
" What do I want? Did I disturbe you lovebirds taking a nap?"
I would love to slap that smirk off his face now! I rolled my eyes at him.
" Minho, we are not in a bloody relationship so knock it off! " Newt said and stood next to me.
" Then can you explain why were you cuddling ON each other? "
" Oh please, it's not like I didn't catch you and Thomas cuddled with each other the other night."
Wait... did he say CUDDLE? just thinking about it makes me giggle.
" It was cold that night!" argued Minho with an annoyed face.
" Sure it was. " I joined the conversation and he pushed me a little on my arm. I pushed back.
" Not trying to interrupt but we need food. Let's go!" Newt said.
" Alright!" we screamed.
" Lady's first. " Minho bowed with a ridiculous tone.
" Thanks." I walked in front of them and left the two tall boys behind.
Newt's P. O. V.
" Talk." I demanded. Minho's been my best friend since we arrived in the Glade so I could tell that he wanted to talk with me in private when he sent Nikie away.
" Fine. I will go straight to the point. You like Nikie."
" What?" I asked.
" I said -"
" Oh I heard you alright. What do you mean, shank?" I interrupted him before he could finish the sentence.
" Oh come on, Newt! It's so obvious you're in love with the Greenie. Everyone knows that. You flirt with her, hang out more than anyone in the Glade AND you even slept with the girl! "
" No, Minho you don't understand. Nikie is just a good friend of mine, like you and Tommy! "I argued and looked him dead in the eyes.
" Right, but you only show those sparkle eyes of yours when she's around! Besides, you only flirt with her and I bet she likes you, too! "
" I'll let you know 1. I'm not in love with Nikie and 2. For the last time, we are just FRIENDS!" Minho looked at me with disbelief but that only lasted a few seconds.
" Deny it all you want but you can't lie to yourself. You like Nikie, the Greenie. " then he walked away to the kitchen without knowing what I said next.
" Maybe."
Nikie's P. O. V.
I went to the kitchen to get breakfast. When I turned around I noticed that the boys were not near me, they were talking to one another from where we stood.
I think I should leave them alone. Must be something important to talk about without me.
So that's what I did, however I can't help but noticed them looking in my direction sometimes.
Are they talking about me? Nah... maybe they don't want me to know. But... why?
I kept asking myself with these questions and of course, I had no answer. After a while, Minho walked towards me with a disappointed expression.
" What's wrong, Minho?" I asked before he could say a word.
" It's nothing."
" You sure?" he nodded, gave me a forced smile and left for food.
" Hey love." I turned my attention to Newt.
" How long have you been here?" I asked, a bit surprised.
" Just now. " he smiled.
He sure looks hot when he smiles. Especially those beautiful eyes. No wonder I fell for him the first time we met. I thought.
" Hey, hey love? Ya with me?" Newt shook me and snapped me back to reality.
" I'm fine. I just space out sometimes." I laughed awkwardly. " So what did you guys talked about?" I asked again after Minho joined us.
" Nothing." they said.
" Right..."
Something's not right but I won't push it if they don't want to talk about it.
After the meal, I went to the Homestead for work.
" Hey Clint, hey Jeff. "
" Hey. " said Clint.
" Nikie, do you mind to help me get more bandages? It's in the room behind this hut." Jeff called out from another room.
" Sure, no problem." I walked out of the wooden house and went behind it.
" Hey Newt!" on my way I met Newt so I shouted at him to say hi. However, he walked away without a response.
What?
I was surprised. He never did that. Did he ignore me? Did I do something wrong?
I continued to walk to the room without any clue of what was going on with him.
Newt's P. O. V.
I spent the whole day in the Gardens, thinking about my conversation with Minho.
Do I really like Nikie, the Greenie? I don't know.
Then I thought about her. How she talks, laughs. Those beautiful brown eyes sparkle even in the dark. How her long dark brown hair swings whenever she moves and how her smile lights up wherever she goes.
Am I in love with the most beautiful girl in the world? I guess I am.
I did not talk to her today to make things awkward between us.
What if she doesn't feel the same way? I thought. It's too risky to tell her now. I will tell her when the time is right.
Nikie's P. O. V.
I think I'm going out of my mind! I thought. Why is he ignoring me? What did I do? Whatever is it I want to fix it. What should I do if he never speaks with me again?
The thoughts kept haunting me during the day and sooner or later I would break down from all of these. I tried to talk with Minho after he came back from running, sadly he told me nothing but to give the boy some time. I skipped dinner so I wouldn't have to see him.
" Love?" a male voice called out.
Of course he would come and find me. How can I be so stupid!?
" Hey Newt." he joined me in the branches.
" Why didn't you show up for dinner?"
" Are you going to tell me why you ignored me the whole day?" I asked annoyed.
" It's just... something Minho told me that I needed time to think about."
" Ok..." at least he's not ignoring me anymore.
" Ya still haven't answered my question. Why didn't you show up? " I sighed. There's no way out of this.
" I thought that you need time on your own. You know... what you guys talked about. " I looked down but he lifted my head up.
" I'm sorry, love. Ignoring you was a mistake, I should let you know. Will you forgive me?"
Of course I will! I can never stay mad at you! I giggled.
" Of course, Newtie. We are best friends after all. " the word friend stabbed me like a knife, there's no way he would love me back.
" Thanks, love. What did I do to deserve you? " without warning, he hugged me. At first I was shocked however I relaxed and hugged him back. I felt safe in his arms and then after a while both of us climbed down to fall asleep on the ground.
