Newt x Reader: Love in the Glade

Chapter 2: The Field

-The next morning-

I awoke to see a familiar face standing above me; Newt. Next to him stood a tall, dark skinned, dark haired boy who looked to be around 17. Newt called him Alby.

"Morning, Greenie." Newt showed just as much friendliness as he had the day before. 

"Time to start your first day of work. You'll be working with me, in the fields. But first, let's go get some breakfast." He said with a confident look on his face.

"What?" The sudden rush of words had surprised me, along with the fact that I heard the word 'work' somewhere in there. I didn't want to work. Not yet.

"Just come with me" Newt sighed. I could see his impatience growing, so I decided just to go with it. As soon as stepped out of the door, I saw about 50 boys, all bustling around, some working, some heading for the mess hall, and others just standing around. I got a lot of  strange looks from everyone, and I didn't know why. Bit then I remembered. I was the only girl here. Of course I'll be stared at.

We arrived at the mess hall, where Frypan handed me some bacon and eggs. It looked good, and I was hungry, so I sat down at an empty table. Newt sat next to me, coming up a lot closer than I thought he would. I could feel his muscular arms against mine, and it sent a pleasant chill through my body. I had only been with him for a day, but I already felt a kind of warmness towards Newt.

"So, Y/N, you excited for your first day?" It was a pleasant surprise not to be called "Greenie" for once.

"Good." I replied plainly. Nothing too special had happened yet.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I've got to give you the tour!" Newt exclaimed. He almost seemed to be talking to himself. He told me that once we finished breakfast, he'd give me the tour and then we'd get to work.

So, once I'd finished breakfast, Newt and I began the tour. He took my hand as he led me around, making my stomach flutter just a little. Okay, a lot. I kinda liked this guy. Not to mention, he was pretty cute. But suddenly, halfway through the tour, a tall, asian-looking muscular guy with a slight smirk on his face approached us.

"Look at Newt, with his new Greenie girlfriend!" He teased.

"Shut it, Minho." Newt said. Minho. His name was Minho.

"Come on I'm just joking with ya. But she is pretty hot, I don't blame you..."

"MINHO!" Newt shouted. 

"Okay, okay. I'll leave you to get on with the.. tour." He said, before stalking off to annoy some other glader.

Newt continued with the tour, showing me everything he'd told me about last night. Once the tour wa over, he guided me back to the fields, where I would start my first day of work.

"Workin' in the fields ain't easy, Greenie." said Newt. "For starters, go and get that bucket over there and start harvesting these Carrots." Newt said in a friendly-but-bossy kind of way. He pointed to the Carrots, and I saw rows upon rows of them. 'This is going to be a long day' I thought to myself.

After almost 2 hours of non-stop work in the fields, I decided to have a little break. I lay down on my back, feeling my sweat-soaked shirt sticking to my back as it pressed against the hard ground. I soon saw Newt walking towards me, an amused expression on his face. 

"Had enough already, Y/N?" He asked.

"Just a little tired." I said back. I hoped that he'd let me continue my break. To my surprise, he did.

"Go ahead, just be back at work in 5 minutes, okay?" He said. I nodded my head to show him that I understood. It was hot, and I needed a break. My shirt was sticking to me uncomfortably, and I was tempted to take it off, but I had nothing underneath it but my Bra. It would be a little bit too revealing, I told myself.

After my 5 minute break, I got back to work, the heat of the sun beating down on me. It all became too much. I needed to get some cool air on my body, before I died or heat stroke or something. I removed my White shirt, feeling as if I had just landed in heaven. Soon enough everyone else noticed my sudden shirt removal. Everyone who saw me started cat-calling, and making other weird, but oddly sexy noises. I felt awkward, as all of the boys stared oddly at my chest. I turned around, getting back to work before Newt told me off. When he came over to make sure I was still working, I could tell that he was looking at me. It felt weird to have all these guys looking at me, but I just had to cool down for a bit.

Newt's POV

Wow. She is hot. Not to mention pretty. Really pretty.

Ever since day one I've liked her a bit, but I know we just met and it would be weird if I made a move. I guess we are friends...At least I hope so. I think we are. 

Anyway, I can't believe she took her shirt off. You'd think it wasn't a pretty sight, but..It kinda was. Thank God she's got a bra on though. Otherwise, it would be awkward. Really awkward. She knows I'm watching her though, so I'll have to move on.

I hope she likes me, even if it's just the tiniest little bit. Maybe one day we'll escape the Maze, live  happily. Maybe I can be with her. Grow old together, have children. Seems distant, but there is still hope, though not much.

And I still hold on to that tiny string of Hope. I always will.

Your POV

Finally the day ended, and I was able to have some time to myself, or at least until dinner time. When dinner finally did roll around, I was practically starving. I grabbed my food and sat down, when suddenly a small boy with curly hair sat next to me.

"Hi!" He said happily. "I'm Chuck. I've heard about you. Y/N, right?"

"Yeah." I said. "Nice to meet you, Chuck."

He seemed nice, and he was. He was good company, and I felt kind of sad saying goodbye when I had to go to bed. 

I reached the Homestead and headed straight for my little sleeping area. I plopped my head down on the pillow, and fell swiftly to sleep.

And the dreams begun.
