“Please Alby? It’s just today!” you complained to Alby for a day off.
  “Ugh, fine. But when everything gets out of order, don’t come complaining to me.” He rolled his eyes. You squealed and ran back to your private little hut. You flopped onto your bed, relaxing your sore muscles. However, you had an odd feeling knowing that tomorrow is when the new Greenie is arriving. With your eyes as heavy as lead, you fell asleep for the rest of the day.Â
 For what seemed like 5 minutes, you woke up to the most heavenly voice. Newt’s voice.
  “Love? Are you awake?” He asked as he entered the room. He approached you as if he were walking up cautiously to a deer. You grunted then opened your eyes. You saw the familiar blonde hair and dark eyes.Â
  “Hello. Is the Greenie here yet?” You said groggily. Then reality caught up to you. Newt was in your hut. He just saw you wake up. Your eyes widened and you started stuttering intensely.Â
  “OH! Uh, s-sorry. I-I just uh, w-what are you d-doing h-”
  “Ha, relax Y/n. I just came in here to tell you that yes, the new Greenie is here, and we’re about to play Truth or Dare. I was wondering if you would like to come join us?” He asked. He steeped forward a little bit and you knew your cheeks were red.
  “Uh, sure. I’ll be there in a couple moments.” You said. It was only luck that you didn’t stutter as much in that one sentence. Newt smiled and shut the door on his way out. You sighed and combed out your hair a little bit. Once you came out of your hut,you were greeted with the smell of Moonshine and a little bit of smoke. You looked around and found a little circle of Gladers waiting to play. You skimmed across the rest of the little setting and found someone sitting all alone. It was the Greenie. The rest of the boys who were waiting for you started playing as they saw you approach the Greenie.
  “Hi. I’m Y/N.” You said. He looked up and looked at you as if you were alien.Â
  “If you’re wondering, yes, I’m the only girl here. How do you like it here so far?”Â
  “Honestly? It’s kinda scary. Not remembering anything and then being put into a big cage with bunch of people you’ve never seen before.”
  “Yeah, you’re gonna feel that way for a while buddy. do you remember your name?”
 He thought for a couple moments. It gave you some time to take a good look at him. He had dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes. His cheeks had some dirt again but then again, who’s didn’t around here? He was taller than you by just a little bit.Â
  “Peyton. That’s my name. Peyton.”
  “Come on. Let’s go tell the other boys!”
 You two jogged over to the circle and some of the guys cheered as you and Peyton approached.Â
  “This is Peyton!” you introduced.
  “Aaayyyyyyy! What’s up?” Thomas said. You could smell the Moonshine in his breath. Peyton awkwardly gave him a fist pump and smiled.Â
  “Do you smell it too?” I whisperedÂ
  “His breath? Oh yeah. Caught a whiff of that when we walked over here. No wonder they’re all wishy-washy.”Â
 You chuckled. You looked around the circle and you’re eyes locked with Newt’s. He looked away without smiling and you felt a little bad for some reason.Â
 You walked over to him and took the empty seat to his right.
  “You okay?” you asked him.
  “Eh. What do you think of Peyton?”
  “Do you fancy Peyton?”
  “Newt, we just met. That’d be kind of silly, don’t you think? Besides. He’s a little uh,” you couldn’t think of a word.
  “Can you be honest for a moment?” Newt asked.
  “I mean you’re one of the only people who isn’t drunk right now so...”
  “Haha. Alright. What do you think of me?” he asked. You knew he was looking at you, but you felt like it’d be awkward to look back.
  “N-Newt, I think you’re a great person.”Â
 You mentally face-palmed yourself. That was mighty stupid.
  “I think you’re greater.” he responded.
  “I think you’re nice!” you stated.Â
  “You’re nicer.”
 You shut your mouth tightly. What did you just say. You looked at him to see if he heard. His mouth was wide open. Maybe he didn’t hear you, but he wanted to have some kind of expression on to not seem rude. He gulped and looked down at his hands. His eyes went to your hands and he gently slipped his into yours.Â
  “I like you more.” he said quietly.
 You both sat there for a couple moments in complete silence.Â
  “Really?” you looked up to meet his dark eyes.
  “Yes! I’m holding your hand right now, and might I add, it’s very warm.” you laughed and squeezed his hand.Â
 Newt took his other hand a placed a strand of hair behind your ear.Â
  “I love you, Y/n.”
