I went to the room that me and Newt now share and looked for the best clothes I had. I gasped when I saw a beautiful white dress with shoulder straps. I then found a flower crown that went really well with the dress.
I quickly got dressed and found that the dress came to just above my knees. And I slipped on some white flats that went with the dress. I brushed my hair and left it down, I then placed the flower crown on. But I really wish there was a mirror here, I would really like to know what I look like properly.
I headed down and out of the homestead, at first I couldn't see anyone and then I saw the big bonfire in the centre of the Glade. I started to walk towards the bonfire when I spotted Newt at the other side of the homestead.
I decided to head over to Newt first. As I walked over I noticed that he was drinking some sort of drink. When I got to him, he was facing the other way so I tapped on his shoulder and she turned around.
When he saw me he immediately spat his drink out (luckily to the side and not all over me).
"I….I…..You look…like…beautiful." Newt stammered and I started to blush but not as Newt.
"Thanks I replied, are you sure I look ok?" I asked.
"Definitely, where did you get the dress and flower thing?"
"It came up with the rest of my clothes and it's called a flower crown shuckface." I replied. And Newt just laughed at my attempt to use Glader slang.
"Come on, let's go." Newt said. We linked arms and started to walk towards the bonfire.
As we walked by the bonfire, I saw the rest of the boys do double takes. I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore them.
Finally we got to where Alby and Minho were standing.
"Looking good there Greenie." Minho said.
"Thanks." I said while rolling my eyes.
"Here try this." Alby said while handing me a jar with some sort of liquid in it. It looked like pee.
I took a sip a spat it out as soon as it entered my mouth. It left a burning sensation in my mouth, it left me coughing and gagging. The three boys were just laughing and I glared at them so they would shut up.
"What is that?" I asked after a minute of coughing.
"We're not really sure, it's Gally's secret recipe." Newt replied.
"Well it looks liked he just peed in a jar, and it tastes like it too." I said.
"How do you know what pee tastes like?" Minho joked.
"Shut up and can we stop talking about pee, it's disgusting." I said.
All of a sudden I felt someone bump into my back, I spun around to see who it was.
It was a Glader who had been Gally in a circle made of rope, it was really immature to be honest. Everyone was now looking at me and I smiled weakly. The boy who bumped into me said sorry and walked away muttering something under his breath, I couldn't catch what he said. Then Gally started walking over.
This can't be good
I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when Gally was really close and up in my face for I crossed my arms across my chest to feel more comfortable. Then he spoke,
"What do you say Greenie, you wanna try and beat me in the circle. Rules are simple: You just have to try and knock me out of the circle and I try to push you out of the circle."
"I don't know if you've realised but I'm wearing a dress, I can't really wrestle you if I'm wearing a dress. But the next bonfire I'll wear something more suitable to beat your ass." I replied with a smug look on my face.
"Fine, but I won't go easy on you because you're a girl, just so you know." He said and started to walk off.
"Fine by me!" I shout to him as he's walking away.
After that I just sit on a log with Newt and Minho asking questions and finding out all the pranks they've played on each other. One of them was when Minho was in the toilet, they sent bark to claw at the door and break in. It felt like I had known the two for years just talking and laughing and it was fun to see others having fun when they were in a situation like this.
Then some music starts and I see everyone dancing, some can't dance and it's hilarious to watch them but they all look so happy. I then see Newt extend his hand to me and gesturing to where everyone is dancing. I happily take his arm and he leads me to where everyone else is. We dance for what seems like hours but it probably half an hour when Alby yells for everyone to go to bed and we are expected to get up at normal time tomorrow. Alby's nice at some points but he's really bossy and a spoil sport most of the time.
I go to mine and Newt's room in the homestead just before him so I can get dressed into something more comfortable to sleep in. After I'm dressed Newt comes in and climbs into his hammock. I get into mine as well but I don't lie down just yet, I want to ask Newt a question but before I can ask him, takes his shirt off. I blush more than I have so far, but I can't say it's a bad view.
Newt has some muscles I have to admit and is really fit. He looks at me and blushes slightly but starts laughing. I glare at him and after he's stopped laughing I ask him the question that's been on my mind.
"How is everyone so happy in a situation like this? Especially those who have been here a year."
"We're like family and no matter what we look out for each other. But we can still have fun, we're still teenagers in the end. And we always look at the brighter side of things, and hope is one of the main things that keeps us going." He replies.
I smile at the thought of everyone in the Glade looking out for each other and say, "Thanks."
"Night Lara." Newt says.
"Good night Newt." I say before I go to sleep and have a peaceful sleep without any nightmares.
