      Newt was different. He was slender, beautiful, porcelain. A single wrong touch sent the poor masterpiece shattering. He was shy and reserved, but bold and eccentric. An example, no a leader. A beautiful form of life with absolutely no comparison.
     This all ran through my hand in the split second Newt's delicate fingers wrapped around the rake.
     "Here greenie, some work oughta  get you used to life in the glade." He muttered.
      He gently placed the tool into my hand. Perhaps more gentle than he had for the kid to right of me. My second day here and I've already fallen head over heels for a boy I barely know.
     Maybe it's not myself to blame. It may be his enticing personality, or his soft-spoken voice. Either way, I constantly craved his company.
      These were the thoughts that filled my head as I raked up the paper thin mocha colored leaves, which unfortunately reminded me all too much of Newt's eyes.
