Gladergirl || Newt x Reader

Chapter 17 - Training

[Y/n's pov.]

I wake up in Newt's room, feeling tired and with no will to do anything. I look at my watch, noticing, it's already 7 am, that means most of the Gladers are already up, having breakfast. Some of them maybe already working. I sit up, looking around, before getting out of the bed.

,,Look who's here." says cheerfully Alby as I sit next to Newt.
,,Hi." I smile at everyone. They smile back. I yawn, starting to eat. ,,What's wrong?" I ask Gally, when I notice he's staring at me.
,,Um, nothing," he respondes. I look him into the eyes, not trusting this sentence. ,,actually, can we talk later?" he asks. I smile.
,,Of course we can." I say with smile, eating again.

,,You sure you don't want me to go with you?" asked Newt for what it seemed like a millionth time.
,,Yeah, I'm sure. I think I'll be okay. It's just Gally after all." I smile at Newt, thinking it's kinda cute how worried he seems.
,,I guess you are right. Just, please, if anything would seem off, do not hesitate and call for me." he says holding my arms. I catch his arms, holding him as well, looking him straight into his chocolatte brown eyes, full of worries. Smiling.
,,I will, if there is anything wrong, I'll yell your name. Deal?" I suggest. With this idea, I can see how he relaxes a little. It's nice to know someone's so protective over you, but it's not so comfortable. But I don't mind, because it's Newt.
,,Good that, princess, deal." he answers letting go off my arms. I smile at him once again, leaving him standing there.

,,Hey Gal, what's up?" I say as I find Gally standing near the enterance of the Trec Grove.
,,Hi. Mind a walk?" he asks, now not so nervously.
,,If you are planning on killing me," I start with smile. ,,I'm going to scream and yell for help." I joke laughtning slightly.
,,No, the opposite." he says, smiling at me.
,,I'm going to kill you?" I ask, meaning it like a joke, confused.
,,No, but, uh, please come." he closes it, with few pauses. Maybe he's nervous after all. Then he goes into the forest. I look around, before following 

,,So," I start when we stop at small cutover in the woods. ,,are you going to tell me what's this about?" I ask, resting my back on a tree not so far away from me.
,,Um, you got kicked ass. Pretty hard." he says and I look at him.
,,No? Really?" I ask ironicly.
,,Please, let me explains." he looks at me, with a request.
,,K." I answer, folding my arms on my chest.
,,I wanna help you. I want to train you in fighting." he says with one breath and actually pretty quickly. I had small problem catching what he said, but I caugth it.
,,No way."
,,Yeah, I don't want you to be powerless and screaming for help, when I know, you can defend yourself." I feel a smile on my place. He doesn't see me like a toy or someone who needs to be treated like procelan. He sees me as a powefull girl. Okay now I'm overreacting. But still.
,,Wow, yeah! I'm in! When do we start?" I ask excited.
,,How about right now?" he suggests.
,,Great." I answer.

,,So, as first, we start with fist hits." he suggests.

He places his hands infront of his face, saying which one I should hit next. Explaining how to stand propertly, how low is too low, what angle should I keep in my bend knees and stuff like that.

,,Bend in knees! I said right! You are standing as straight as the vines!" I am forced to listen to all this whole time.

,,All right, I would say, that's it for today. How about tomorow?" he suggests after I am covered in sweat.
,,Yeah, why not." I answer.
,,Alright, we will be practicing here." he closes it, leaving.

And that is exactly how my two weeks went. Every evening we met in forest and Gally trained me. Always being rude, when I messed up for third time in row. But I got so much better.

Second day of my training was little easier than first one. I was, again, fighting him with my fists, but this time, he added a slow hit, that I was forced to dodge. It was just me, hitting his hands and then dodging a hit. I got stronger.
