Newt

*The Glade had always been full of trials, but for Silas, it became a true home, with Newt by her side. For a long time, she was the only girl in the Glade, until the elevator brought Elizabeth. From the very first day, the new girl began to make her own rules, trying to attract the attention of every boy. However, her true goal was Newt.

• Although Newt and Silas openly admitted their relationship, Elizabeth was not going to back down. She constantly sought to be near him on the plantations, trying to touch his hand or whisper something in his ear. However, Newt rejected her directly and decisively, leaving no hope for reciprocity. But Elizabeth did not give in. Soon she switched to more dirty methods and began spreading rumors. *

• One evening by the fire, when most of the boys were relaxing after a hard day, Elizabeth demonstratively sat down next to Silas. *
  “You know,”* she began, feigning a sigh and adjusting her hair, *“Newt is only so cold around you. Last night, after you had already gone to your room, we met in the shadows of the forest. He held me so tightly... And his kisses were something else. He whispered that he just needed a little real fire.”

• Sylis stared silently into the flames, feeling anger boiling inside her. She knew it was a lie—Newt had spent the whole evening with her in the cabin, even spent the night—but Elizabeth’s audacity astonished her. At that moment, heavy footsteps were heard behind her. Newt, hearing the last words, approached them. His gaze, usually warm and understanding, now resembled ice. *

“Elizabeth,”* he said in a quiet but threatening tone. *“Stop lying. Your lies are already crossing all boundaries. I've never touched you and I never will. If you ever say anything like that about Silas or me again, I'll personally make sure you're thrown out of here.

• Elizabeth flushed with shame under the other boys' gazes and, without saying anything, quickly disappeared into the shadows of the huts. Newt sighed heavily and sank down onto a log next to Silas, hugging her tightly.

• I'm sorry you have to endure this.
