Newt
God, Skylar was beautiful. My arm was around her, and her head was on the soft spot on my chest. She looked so fragile. But I knew she wasn't.
She woke up.
"Good morning love." I said, smiling.
She was about to respond when we were rudely spashed with ice-cold water.
"Wake up, shuckfaces!" Minho screamed.
I got up and started chasing Minho towards the two foot drop off that lead into our small river. Minho, it seems, had forgotten about the small cliff, and kept on running full speed.
Minho fell, and was screaming vulgar curse words at me. I was laughing my head off, and I turned around just in time to see Skylar push me into the water. I grabbed her hand, and she fell in as well.
She spashed me in the face, and I spashed her back. We ended up having a full blown water fight, while Minho,(still muttering swear words under his breath) was trying to get dry.
As I was getting out of the water, I saw something I had never seen here. A blue flower.
Skylar
I hope I knew Newt in our past life. I feel like we did know each other. But,( as the Gladers put it) I can't remember a shuck thing about the past.
"Hey, Skylar!" Newt called.
My heart fluttered.
"No." I thought " You are not falling for this boy nope nope no..."
But it was so bloody hard! He was so cute, and sweet, and kind, and I kinda liked the way his big, brown eyes made me melt... Ew. What was happening to me? That settles it. He was my boyfriend in another life.
"There's gonna be a bonfire tonight. Thought you'd need to know." He told me.
I grinned at him.
"Thanks for the heads up!" I told him.
The Bonfire
I had the time of my life at the bonfire. I met a lot of other Gladers, and was introduced to Moonshine, the Glade version of alcohol. I was following Newt to a couple of his friends who were playing Truth or Dare.
"Wanna join in?" He asked me.
I shrugged.
"Why not?"
I watched as Minho had to steal someone's underwear and hang it on a tree, and Alby had to light his pant leg on fire.
Now, Minho was daring Newt.
"I dare you to kiss Skylar."
What? Holy shit Minho. Douchebag.
Newt blushed a fierce shade of red. He walked over to me and put his hand behind my head. With his other hand, he tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear, and kissed me.
I saw sparks fly. And fell in love with the boy with heartbreak behind his eyes.
