Sorry it's so late after the first half, hope you enjoy.
This one is really long....
You hide outside the pub, the library is right next door but you don't want anyone to notice you just in case your parents become even more snoopy. You see Minho and Ben walk into the pub, their so chilled out about everything and don't really care what people think. Then you see a swam of girls heading your way, they all wear skimpy clothes that show lots of butt and their skinny bellies. You spot Teresa in the middle with Harriet and Sonya.
"Pisss, Teresa!" You half shout half whisper.
She doesn't respond so you try again and she sees you, she waves for you to join them, so you awkwardly push through to her.
You sit down at a table next to Teresa, you feel really underdressed but you couldn't wear too exposing clothes or your parents would know you were lying. You sit uncomfortably on your chair as you try to join in the conversation but so much has changed, apparently they've started smoking. When it comes to buying drinks you panic all of them ask for some kind of strong alcohol drink, you look a fool when you ask for a coco-cola so you quickly change it for a diet one but they still judge you.
"Get a beer." Harriet tells you so you reluctantly order a beer.
The drinks arrive and the girls pull out the cigarettes and start to smoke, no one offers you one. You hear Sonya gasp as across the pub Newt enters. She flicks her hair and talks loudly about how she is single and is good in bed, it's not a pretty talk.
Newt leaves and Sonya does a fake cry, "why won't he notice me?"
The others immediately offer sympathy.
"He does, he's just playing cool."
"He's gone to ask the others about how to confront you."
"He obviously loves you."
She smiles but directs an evil glare at you, your the only one not offering sympathy.
"So y/n, how's your new school?" She says in a sly tone.
"Good." You mutter.
"Got any friends." She laughs.
Teresa shoots you a sympathetic smile but your fed up of Sonya and her silly ways, how was I ever friends with these people?
"Loads, actually I'm friends with the gladers."
She stares at you and then laughs, "your so funny."
You shrug and pretend to sip at your beer. Someone taps your shoulder and the other girls gasp, you turn around and see Thomas right behind you.
"Err, my brother, Chuck, drop his toy under your seat..."
You stare at him lost for words, "oh, umm, ok ."
Don't mess this up y/n, you say to yourself.
But as normal you do and instead of moving the chair to the side you pick it up for Thomas to get the toy from underneath, you blush madly as he chuckles.
"Thanks." He says.
You put the chair down and sit down your face as red as a tomato, he doesn't leave.
"Do you like music?"
You nod, too scared to talk in case you mess up.
"Would you mind helping us with something?"
You nod and he smiles, you follow him over to the gladers they all stand at your arrival.
"Guys this is..."
"Y/n," you say quietly.
"Hey" a couple of them greet you.
"So this is Chuck, Minho, Ben, Alby he's in charge, Wilson, Jeff, Frypan ....." Thomas points to every glader, you fell awkward should you tell him you know everyone's names? You decide to not and just smile and say hi to each glader.
"Is this the one Newt was talking about?" Chuck bursts out making you blush.
A couple of them tell him to shut it.
"We're performing here tonight and could do with some help setting up." Thomas gesture for you to follow him away from Chuck and his machine gun firing mouth.
You nod, you didn't know they were a band. You follow Thomas outside to a VW camper van with 'The Gladers' written across the side in a black paint. The boot doors are open and inside is a mass of musical instruments and speakers, you gasp it looks so complicated but it intrigues you.
Thomas jumps in, "let's get the speakers, I'm going to pass them out to you."
He slides it forwards and you grab the end, you tense as you lift the black mass. Thomas trips over a wire and the speaker falls towards you. Some hands grab yours and lift the speakers up.
"Bloody watch it Tommy, you almost dropped it on y/n."
You look up and see dark blonde hair above yours. You gulp, Newt's arms encage you and his hands are on yours... You have a mini heart attack.
"Sorry I tripped over this god damn cable, does anyone ever tidy this place up?"
Newt laughs his breath tickles your neck, "that's the sloppers job."
Thomas laughs as well, you feel really out a place, Newt must notice this because he changes the conversation.
"Y/n, Tommy and I have got this, do you want too....umm...oh." Your trapped between his arms, you blush madly as you slip your hands out from under his, he lifts his arm up and you duck under.
"Can you grab the wire?"
You grab it glad to be of some use, they carry it inside to a small stage you didn't notice earlier, you plug the wire in as the boys struggle to put the heavy speaker down. You smile as Newt's muscular arms tense. They adjust the speaker's position and then go off to the gladers, what do I do? You can hear Sonya talking loudly trying to impress Newt, I'm not going back there, you follow Newt.
"Where's my bloody drink?" Asks Newt.
Minho smiles sheepishly, "I was thirsty..."
.
"Great. Y/n would you like to get a drink with me?"
You nod too speechless to do anything else, he walks over to the bar and takes a seat, you sit next to him.
"Can I get two non-alcoholic Gally's specials please?" Newt asks the bar man.
You grab your bag and fumble around for your purse.
"There's no need for that love it's on me."
You blush, "thanks."
He smiles and faces you, "so what made you move schools?"
You sigh, "my parents are really strict and obsessed with my education. Parties, discos, alcohol, boys, their against it all so one night I snuck out to a party where I was pushed into trying a shot. My parents found out and went ballistic, I was grounded for ages, we moved house, schools, clubs, anything that connected me to my friends was cut except Teresa." You point her out, "I'm still allowed to be friends with her."
He sips his drink, "sounds like it's sucks,"
You nod, "I do love them but they are a pain."
"So how are you here?"
"I'm meant to be at the revision club next door in the library."
"Ah, well I'm glad your here."
You both blush madly. You spend the evening talking with Newt, you really grow towards him; he's so funny and is such a gentleman, he even teaches you glader slang.
"You can't tell anyone this but klunk means poo or crap, because of the sound it makes."
You laugh and spill a bit of your delicious drink.
Newt smiles, "shank is friend, so I would call you shank."
You blush, "I would call you shank as well."
"Good that."
Someone sits on the other side of Newt, it's Sonya.
"So your Newt, right?" She giggles like a two year in Disney-world.
He nods and turns back to you but she continues, "soooo, Newt do you have a girlfriend? Because if ya don't I would be a perfect girlfriend." She rolls her 'Rs'.
He just nods and turns to you, Sonya gives you a death glare over his shoulder.
"Would you like dinner?" He asks you.
You smile happily, "I would love to but I'm paying."
"No need all gladers get a free dinner with the performance."
"Oh Newt, I would love to have dinner with you.." Sonya says trailing her fingers up his arm.
"Oh umm, I was asking y/n ..."
"But surely I can still join."
"You have to be a glader to get it free."
"But y/n isn't."
"She is."
Sonya huffs and sniffles as she leaves.
"Wow she's bloody difficult."
You nod, "do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, there's never been a girl glader. But your boyfriend must be the luckiest man alive."
You blush, "I've never had a boyfriend."
"Your kidding! How has a stunning girl like you never had a boyfriend?"
"I've never really been asked." Your blushing the most you've ever blushed.
"Wow..."
"Newt!" Alby yells, "get your butt over here, we need to get ready!"
Newt smiles and grabs your hand pulling you over to the others. They go out to the van and the chaos starts.
"Where's my top?"
"Oy, that mine."
"No it's not."
"Shuck where's my triangle."
You help them organise themselves by passing out instrument and helping find missing clothing. The inside of the camper van is amazing, pictures have been stuck all over the ceiling and there are plugs by every seat so they can plug their guitars in and play on the road. But it is a complete mess, clothes and food are everywhere, you try to clean it up slightly but when you've cleared an area someone dumps more rubbish into it.
There about to go on when Newt grabs your arm, "I forgot to ask, do you play an instrument?"
"I wish I did but my parents didn't see how it would help my education."
"Oh well, ask the bar man for any food and drinks and tell him your a glader, Alby will be with you just in case."
"I don't need his help, he can play with the rest of you."
Newt shakes his head, "Alby doesn't play, he just runs the band."
Your hear someone introduce the band and they step on stage. You and Alby take seats at the back with a good view of the stage. You watch them set up, Thomas and Minho stand at the back playing the trumpet and the saxophone while Gally plays the drums. Jeff plays the cello, Zart plays the electric guitar, Frypan and Clint sing and last off your eyes land on Newt, he holds an acoustic guitar, he looks so small standing amongst the other gladers and their heap of instruments. He smiles at you as he starts to strum a tune, Jeff joins in, then Minho who is followed by Gally and soon they are all playing and singing. You spot a small head at the back of the gang, Chuck is a backing singer and he tings away at a triangle. After the song you and Alby clap and whistle like mad people, you do this song after song and the bar man has to ask you to quieten it down because your disturbing people around you. So instead you clap madly but quietly, their nearing the end when the microphone is passed to Newt.
"We would just like to say goodbye to our old band member, George who unfortunately moved to a different country but we would also like to welcome our new glader y/n!"
You cup your hands to your mouth and Alby pats your back, your in, you are an official glader! Alby passes you a drink and you drink it in one only to spit it out, the alcohol burns your throat but you don't pay attention, your mind whirls and spins, y/n a glader, the words send shivers down your spine and fill every inch of you with happiness. Newt smiles and laughs at your shock and happiness, you mouth thank you to him and he nods.
After, you run up to Newt and hug him, jumping into his arms.
He stumbles back "Ohh, y/n." He smiles and hugs you, "congrats your one of us now, the first ever female shank."
The others cheer and pat you on the back, you all pack up and pile into the van, you sit next to Newt in the front, Alby who is driving turns up the radio and everyone dances and sings along, you have a feeling they'll be partying most of the night. Newt smiles and sings holding you close to him.
"You stink of pub and alcohol, you know."
"Shit, do I? I'm so dead, oh well they probably have guessed by now, revision ended five hours ago."
Newt laughs, "Frypan you got any mints?"
Frypan's face pops up between the seats, "I have some glade-made mints, here have one."
You take one, "glade-made?"
"It's homemade but by me a glader."
You pop it in your mouth and nod, it's really very good.
Alby drives you home. He stops outside your house, "there you go y/n, sleep well."
"Thanks Alby. Bye you shanks!" You shout as you get out.
"Bye shank!" They all shout and laugh, most of them are drunk and if not on the verge.
Newt hops out behind you and follows you to the front door.
"Keep an eye on Chuck will you, don't want him getting drunk." You say.
Newt stands behind you awkwardly scratching his neck, "umm, y/n I didn't want to do this in front of the others and I'm sorry if your parents kill you, but I can't not hold on any longer."
"Do what..."
He cuts you off by pulling you face to his and gently connecting your lips to his lips, your taken back at first and stand there frozen but soon relax and kiss him back. You slide your hands around his neck and into his hair while his wrap around your waist pulling you closer. The kiss is sweat but passionate and leaves a promise that words could never describe.
"Y/n, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yes Newt yes I will!" You kiss him again.
The gladers cheer and cat whistle while Minho shouts, "Newt finally grew balls."
He blushes, "I've been meaning to ask you for a long time."
You smile, "same."
He gives you one last kiss before heading back to the waiting van, "bye."
You wave and watch the van drive round the corner, you take in a deep breath and open the door. Inside stand your parents, their arms are crossed over their chests and their faces are fuming red. You shut the door and prepare for the fight.
