Bittersweet ➳ Newt x Reader

Chapter Four

First period was maths. It was boring. Nothing else to be said about that. You made a good impression on the teacher hopefully, as you were almost the only person to stay awake during the lesson.

Then it was break. Jessica comes up to you after maths grinning. "Well, that was a bore wasn't it."

You shrug, "I guess."

"C'mon Y/N, let's so grab some stuff in the canteen then I'll show you where your locker is." Jessica grinned at you. She leads you to the canteen, where she buys a packet of salt and vinegar crisps the two of you can share. Then you look around for a space to sit. "Hey look, over there. It's Newt, Minho and Tom!" Jessica exclaims.

"Newt?" You ask, a blush creeping to your cheeks.

"Cmon this is your chance to get to know him!" Jessica tells you firmly, grabbing your wrist and literally dragging you over to the two seats opposite the three.

Obviously you've met Newt already, but you curiously look at the boys either side of him. One has brown hair, and brown eyes. The other is an Asian kid, with fabulous black hair.

"Hi Y/N!" Newt grinned at you.

"Hey Newt," You smile sheepishly, fully aware of your bright red cheeks.

"Whose this?" The Asian kid asks.

"Oh yeah, introductions. Y/N, this is Minho," he said gesturing to the Asian kid. "And Thomas." He adds gesturing to the brown haired kid. "Minho, Tommy, this is the new kid Y/N."

You can already see how close the three are.

"Nice to meet you," Minho nods at you.

"Yeah," Thomas adds.

You smile at them, then look back at Newt. "What have we got next?" You ask him.

"Science." Newt replies, smiling warmly back. "We're allowed to choose where we sit."

The two of you gaze into each others eyes for a moment, then the moment is broken by Jess.

Jessica elbows you, a smirk planted on her face.

"Shut up Jess," You mutter under your breath, but your heart is racing excitedly at the eye contact.
