FRIENDS

Y/N'S POV:

It was a bonfire tonight, though for no special occasion, so hopefully it will be fun. I made my way to my bed to grab my jacket since it started to get a bit colder as the night went on. I tried to get Newt out of my head, I didn't want to think about him right now. I don't remember the last time I had talked to a boy, I don't remember anything anyway, but I didn't want to make a fool out of myself any longer. I felt like anything I do, it's just cringey or embarrassing.

"Y/n!"

I spin around, seeing Thomas running up to me with a little smile on his face. I smile at him kindly, and once he made his way to me he suites and glances around as if making su4e no one can see or hear us.

I frown in confusion, tilting my head slightly as I watch him curiously.

"What's up Tommy?" I ask, barely noticing I had given him a nickname it just came out so naturally like I had been saying it for years.

I see him hesitate a bit, and finally meeting my gaze intensely. I don't think he knows how much just a little eye contact he gives people that probably gives them butterflies. I wonder how brown his eyes are?

I shake the thought out of my head, trying to focus all my attention on what Thomas had to say, instead of what he looks like.

"You excited for the bonfire?" He asked hesitantly, he seemed as if he wanted to ask something else but he didn't say it.

I nodded eagerly, and I smiled a bit in amusement. "Ya, I'm pretty excited. You?" I ask kindly, and I cross my arms over my chest now, trying to find a comfortable standing position.

"Uh, ya I'm excited."

I nod, unsure of what to do at this moment of silence. Just as I'm about to say goodbye and leave this awkward moment, but Thomas says something to stop me from leaving.

"So uh, you and Newt huh?" I noticed he started to swing slightly in a cute way rather.

I frown, and glance outside the hut, seeing Newt laugh around with Frypan and Winston. I force myself to glance away, and focus back on Thomas.

"What do you mean?"

"Well I'm just asking cause you guys seem really close... do-do you like him?" He asks nervously, or more in a stutter. I glance back at Newt, then back at Thomas. I wasn't sure what to say at this moment, I didn't think if I liked him or anyone since I've been here.

"Well- I don't know." Was all I had managed to say, hoping that was a good enough answer. Hoping to satisfy Thomas, and myself for that matter.

He just nods silently, he looked a little disappointed. "You guys look cute together." Was all he said before walking away. I watched him walk away, frowning in confusion, I wasn't sure what had just happened at that moment. Did I say something wrong?

NEWT'S POV:

I think I like y/n.

I mean, I don't really know how liking someone feels, or how I should act, or anything like that. But every time when I'm around her I feel like the world is spinning around us, and it's just us together at that moment, and I want to do something about it. I could ask her if she wanted to hangout sometime just the two of us?

I don't know.

As I'm standing there talking to Frypan and Winston, I glance around while laughing, and see y/n and Thomas talking in the hut. I gulped, trying to control my jealousy and anger. She wasn't mine to get angry over.

Does she like Thomas?

I shoved the thought away, focusing my attention back to my friends.

"I know, I think every guy likes her." Winston smiled in amusement, shaking his head in disbelief. I frowned, glancing between the two of the boys.

"What are you saying?" I asked in confusion, though knowing they were talking about y/n obviously.

"Were just saying that almost everyone has a little thing for y/n." Frypan laughs, nudging my arm as he and Winston giggled. I smiled, though still frowning, wondering why they had been teasing me it seemed like.

"What? Whats so funny?"

They had stopped giggling, meeting my gaze before glancing around to check if anyone was within earshot.

"Your one of those boys, Newt."

My eyes had widened slightly a bit, I knew I did like y/n, but it felt different when someone told me when it didn't come from me.

It felt real.

"Don't be ridiculous." I laughed before walking away, hoping not to talk about y/n for the rest if the day, thinking about her had made my head a bit dizzy.

As I made my way to the garden, I see Minho run over to y/n as she had just walked out of the hut her and Thomas were talking in. I frown, though continue to walk as I try to see what Minho was going to say or do. However, I dont hear them say anything, but based on what I can see from quick glimpses, neither of them seemed angry like the last few encounters they've had with each other.

"Hm." I whispered under my breath to myself, focusing my attention on the garden to finish my task for the day.

I needed to get y/n out of my head for a bit.

Y/N'S POV:

"Okay, well thank you for the apology Minho..." I say again, smiling a bit brighter now, seeing as he seemed like he genuinely meant his apology. He smiled and nodded a goodbye before running past me, I watch him slowly get farther and farther away from me, suddenly having the urge to go talk to him a bit more.

"Y/n!"

I spin around, seeing Chuck walk towards me, I smiled brightly at him as I see him hopping towards me. Without him having to say anything, I already know exactly what he wanted out of me.

"Wanna play tag?"

I smiled at him one again, and I quickly slapped him gently on the arm and ran off as I yelled "Tag!" I started to run as fast as I could, though slowed down a bit, quickly remembering that I was faster than Chuck. I started running towards where the bonfire would be later tonight, and I swerve around a gardener but get cornered by a wall. Before I could even get away, Chuck races towards me and tags me on the arm.

I laugh my ass off, remembering how I had screamed like a seagull when he tagged me.

Minutes later, me and Chuck are starting to walk around the glade side by side, just laughing about a few things. As my giggle slowly dies down, Chuck interrupts me.

"So anyone you like?"

I glance down at him, I look behind us seeing Thomas, and Newt helping set up the bonfire. I turn back to Chuck and smile in confusion, trying to seem as if I dont know what hes talking about.

"What do you mean?"

"Well everyone already thinks you and Newt have a little something, but I think its you and Thomas."

My eyes widened, I stuttered a bit, surprised by what he had said.

"What-why would you even say that?"

He just shrugged before waving goodbye as he quickly runs towards Frypan. I stop in my tracks, in the middle of the field, I glance back at Thomas and Newt as their carrying branches side by side.

"Pfft, as if." I mutter under my breath to myself, hoping that I convinced myself I wouldn't like anyone in this glade. Although, I dont think Ive even convinced myself or anyone else that I'm not interested in at least one of them.

Short chap again lol. WHO DO U WANT FOR ENDGAME???
