Bittersweet ➳ Newt x Reader

Chapter Twenty-Nine

"He kissed you?!" Jessica's eyes widened at your story, causing you to blush a little and shush her. "What was it like?"

You giggle, "A kiss? I don't know."

"Aww Y/Newt is my second most favourite ship," She beams in congratulations.

"Second? What's your first?" You question, tilting your head a little.

"That, my good friend, is a secret," Jessica winks. The two of you walk in school together, arms linked - it was her idea.

As you enter the form room, you are greeted with a kiss on the cheek by Newt. Jessica immediately lets your arm go and turns away, humming to herself to pretend she wasn't listening.

"Thank you for last night," You smile softly to him, and he shrugs and hugs you.

"You're welcome."

Hannah strides in, wearing a particularly sexy and short dress that clung to her curves, complimenting them. All of the boys gaze at her, except your group of friends of course. Gally walks over and the two full on make out, causing Newt to flinch a little and struggle to look away.

"It's okay, mate, you got Y/N," Minho mutters to him quietly.

Newt nods and shook out of it, going back to smiling at you.

Hannah pulls away and walks towards you, swaying her hips a little as she walked, "Hey, Y/N." She smiles sweetly.

Newt steps in front of you protectively, narrowing his eyes at her, "Go away."

"Aw baby I'm just making conversation," Hannah pouts and stands on her tiptoes, kissing his cheek and leaving a bright red lipstick mark.

Newt tries to rub it off but this doesn't work, and she turns on her heel walking back to Gally, a smirk on her face.

Minho sighs a little, "What a bi-" He begins but is cut off by the teacher walking in and ordering, "Take your seats, everyone."

Even the teacher seems a little entranced by Hannah's makeup.

She raises her hand, "Sir, may I please hand out party invites whilst you call the register?" She requests politely.

He smiles warmly to her and nods his approval before beginning to call the register.

Hannah walks around, handing out invites to a party at a club, "Hope to see you there Y/N." She smiles a whisper to you as one lands on your desk. She drops them nearby Newt and slowly bends down, showing him her ass as she picks them up.

Newt looks away quickly, swallowing subtly.

Jessica seems to notice this too and the two of you exchange confused glances, before looking down at her invite and examining it, "Are you gonna go?"

"I don't think so, it's just an excuse for her to get at me again." You answer quietly.

"Maybe you should. You could enjoy yourself, besides, only saddos miss parties... no offence, I mean like school status. Especially Hannah's parties. As mean as she is, they're fun a-f," Jessica answers quietly, causing you to bite your lip worriedly.

Jessica suddenly sits up, having a thought, "I can help you get ready and you can be really hot and beat her at her own game!" She exclaims.

"What game?" You frown.

"Duh. She's playing hard to get but sexy to Newt. All men are attracted to that," Jessica shrugs.

"You want me to play hard to get?!"

"Nah, that isn't you. But I want you to look sexy and we can do that."

The two of you automatically glance at Newt a few tables away, who was looking at Hannah along with the rest of the class.

"I don't want to lose him," You murmur.

"Don't worry, you got me - I'll ensure Y/Newt is a thing." Jessica shrugs.

Hey everyone! So, I've decided to continue writing this. Well duh, otherwise you wouldn't have read this chapter. I promise to you all that I will try my hardest to update at least once a week, and figure out how it is actually going to end and stuff.

Thanks for reading everyone, and thank you for all of your encouragement!
