I pulled away from the kiss. It was a nice kiss, but I had just been explaining the whole day, that there was nothing between us.
I guess that might have hurt Thomas to hear me say that. But it's true, well at least I thought it was, but now I'm not so sure.
Ugggh, why does it have to be so confusing!
"I-I-I'm sorry!" I say, before quickly turning and walking away to my hammock.
The look he gave me, those eyes, did I really just hurt him?!

I lay in my hammock, thinking everything over. Thinking what Newt would say, wether he'd think I was lying about what happened while we collected fertiliser.
How Thomas would act around me, how I would act around him.
How my other friends would react.

After a long time of pondering, I finally fall asleep.

...........................

The next morning I am woken up by someone.
I look up to see, Newt.
I look around, it's earlier than the usual time we get up. "Follow me." He says as he walks off into the small forest. I don't hesitate to follow.
We walk through the woods until we reach the wall on the other side.
Newt gestures for me to sit on a log that lies in the corner.
I take a seat and he crouches down in front of me.
He looks me right in the eye. "Why'd you even bother trying to explain that nothing happened yesterday. It's obvious that something did happen, why'd you lie!" He says, partly stern and partly sad/disappointed.
I shake my head. "Nothing did happen between us, just almost..."
"What do you mean 'just almost'?" He asks, anger slowly growing.
"You want to know everything!" I say, getting louder slightly.
He stares at me, then nods "I want to know that I can trust you."
I could of yelled at him to mind his own business, but I didn't want our friendship getting ruined. I take a breath in. "Getting fertiliser yesterday, we were scooping it up. Then Thomas looked me right in the eye, he started to lean in, so did I, until I realised he was about to kiss me, I quickly pulled back before our lips touched." I could tell something inside Newt didn't like me mentioning our lips touching. "Things got awkward so we came back to the gardens with the fertiliser.
Then after you and I talked last night, Thomas, as you saw, put his arm around me and we were almost at my hammock, but I stopped him, we had been saying how we didn't want anything to be awkward between us, then he leaned in. I saw you and Minho were watching, I told Thomas, he said it doesn't matter, he raised my head and lowered his and that was the kiss!" I finished, ashamed slightly.
I look down, doubting he would believe me. But then I feel his soft hand lifting my chin up, he smiled at me.
"I believe you."
I smiled back.
He jumps up and lowers a hand for me to take, I took it and he helped me up. We walk back to the homestead and get to the kitchen before everyone else gets up.
.............
Once the others join us we sort of go quiet and a little awkward.
"What were you two doing up so early?" Minho asks, gesturing to Newt and I.
"Talk'n" Newt replies casually.
"Really?" Minho questions doubtably.
"Yup" he looks at me when I answer.
"Surprised it wasn't Thomas taking you away so early" he smirked. Thomas quickly raised his head with pale red cheeks.
"Wha- I- we-" Minho laughs along with Chuck.
"It's alright Tom, we all know!" Minho continues to laugh, while patting his friend on the back.
"How many times do I have to tell you! There is nothing going on between Thomas and I!" I say, a little frustrated that this topic is still on play.
Thomas looks down as I say that:(
"Then what was that kiss last night suppose to mean?" Minho continues to smirk.
I roll my eyes, and in doing so see Newt looking... Sad.
Now Thomas and Newt both look sad, although Thomas, along with Minho and Chuck, is giving me a look as if they are eager to know what my answer will be.
"I don't know." I mumble, looking down and stirring my soup slowly.

Newt POV

Minho brought up the topic about Sophie's and Tommy's kiss.
He knows the way I feel about her.
But yet he still brings up the topic.
I couldn't stand them talking about it, and forcing Sophie to talk about it, even though she's obviously not comfortable talking about it!
I can't get up and go or the others will get suspicious. So I stay quiet and put my head down.

"I don't know." Sophie mumbles as she looks down and slowly stirs her soup.
Poor person. (A/N FabulousUniducky XD)
"And when will you know then?" Thomas asks, a bit disappointed.
I can't take this any more, poor Soph.
"Leave 'er alone, Tommy! She obviously doesn't want to talk about this topic at the moment!" I look over to see Sophie giving me a thankful look. I give her a sorrowful smile then stand up, putting my hand out for her.
She takes it and I help her up. "Time to start work." I say turning around and leading Sophie to the gardens.

Why do the others have to be so bloody demanding! Can't they just mind there own business! Leave people in peace, for once!
