Bittersweet ➳ Newt x Reader

Chapter Eight

"So how was your first day?" Your mum asks as you walk inside the kitchen, glancing briefly away from the food she was preparing.

"Interesting," You murmur dreamily.

"You've already met a boy?" She asks you, chuckling a little.

"No...maybe.... Yes." You sigh happily.

"Name?"

"Newt."

"Ooh cute!" Your mum laughs.

"I know right!" You laugh with her.

"Has he got a girlfriend?" She suddenly quietens.

Silence.

"Y/N. Answer me." She says, her tone a little more firm.

"Yes..." You murmured.

She sighs. "Honey..."

"But not for long, she's cheating on him," You say quickly.

"And how do you know?"

"Minho and Thomas told me. She's cheating on Newt with this guy Gally."

"Why didn't they tell Newt?"

"Because Gally is Minho's friend."

Your mum sighs. She crouched down so we were the same level. "Honey?"

"Yes mum?" She gazes into my eyes for a minute.

"Promise me to not get involved."

"Bu..."

"Promise." She interrupts.

You sigh. "I promise."

"Good girl."

- Time skip to next morning -

You walk to the form room and go to your seat. You're the first one there. You dump your bag on the table and pull your phone out of your pocket. 'Yo Jess.' You text Jessica, then text Newt. 'Hey Newt! How are u? X' You hear a platter of feet as many others stroll in. You don't bother looking up. Suddenly your phone is snatched out of your hands. You look up quickly. "Hey! Give that back!" It was Hannah.

"NoPe." She sneered. The other kids were laughing. You look around desperately - neither Newt nor Jess had arrived.

"Let's see... From mum. Hello sweetie how was your first day of school? You coming home? Love mum. Hey honey, I'm at the shops, I'll get you your itch cream," She read aloud, and the whole class burst into laughter. She made that up to make me look stupid. I see her come off of texts from mum and go onto newts texts. I gulp. Her friend watches over her shoulder.

"She's seeing him on Saturday?" I hear her friend whisper.

Anger flashes across Hannah's face.

"Give that back!" I yell out and pounce at her. Hannah quickly dodges.

"You'll have to catch me first!" She laughs and ran from the classroom.

QOTD: What would you do if you were Y/N when Hannah grabbed your phone?
