Summary: by the time Newt gets out of the Medjack’s hut, he finds there is a new greenie, you.
(I’ve put (prompts) in here that you can customise depending on what applies to you, to make this feel a little more personal. just trying this out cause this is my first Newt POV)
Newt POV (gasp exciting 😱)
I sit between two other gladers, elbows on my knees and hands twisted in my lap. Minho and Tommy sits beside me.
“So, did you two find anything new today?” I say.
they shake their head, and I sigh, “How did Alby do without me.” I smile.
Tommy laughs, “you were in the medjack hut for like three days, not much has changed.
Minho looks at his friend in mock disbelief, “what on earth are you talking about Thomas, you didn’t see him bawling his eyes out when his little gardener got punched by Gally.”
“I hear he’s still in the slammer.” I sit forwards in my seat. Minho grins, “you think Alby would let him get away with what he did, not only punching you but talking rubbish about this ugly shank” he gestures to Tommy and he smiles.
just at that moment, a person that I had never seen before strolled past me. I find myself turning in my seat to follow them with my eyes.
they walk confidently past, flicking their, (colour of your hair) hair, out of their eyes.
I turn back to the other two and jerk my thumb at the newbie. “Who’s that?”
“New greenie, arrived here about two days ago, you were still with the medjacks”
I turn back to look at them, laughing with some of the others. “What’s their name?” I don’t take my eyes off them.
“y/n”
“y/n” I find myself smiling, “that’s a really nice name”
“It is” Minho agrees, grinning at my face.
“You’re not usually this interested in the greenie Newt” Tommy is watching me closely and I force my face to become straight.
“I’m going to go and introduce myself”
I stand up, and see the others grin at each other as I walk over to the greenie.
“Hey.” I raise a hand and the newbie turns towards me.
they smile, “hi, I haven’t seen you around here, are you new too”
I have to stop myself from laughing, “no, I’m one of the people who’ve been here longest”
they nod their head and outstretch their hand, “my name is y/n, and yours is?”
“Newt.” I take their hand and shake it.
“Newt, Newt” they murmur, then they snap their fingers, “yes I remember you, those two over there,” they gesture towards Minho and Tommy, “told me about you”
“Oh really, what did they say.” I find myself expecting the worst.
“They told me you are second in command, and you help around when Alby can’t lead this lot. the brown haired one,” they point to Tommy, “told me you’re nice.”
I find my hopes lifting despite myself. “and the black haired one,” my heart sinks, “told me you’re an ugly shank, whatever that means.”
I look at Minho who is smiling innocently. “I don’t think you’re ugly though.” I look back at them and see them blinking (colour of your eyes) eyes. “you don’t?”
“Nope.”
I find myself smiling, “I don’t think you’re ugly. I think you’re pretty. your hair is very pretty and your eyes are beautiful”
they start blushing, turning away with a hand over their mouth.
“Well, I’ll see you around y/n.” I start to walk away, back to Tommy and Minho, smiling goofily.
I sit between them. “so, how did your two get on.” Minho kicks one of his legs over the other.
I grin at him, “that’s the one for me!”
