Then she barely lifts her fingers, just only loosening her grasp on the nylon, and she’s slowly falling as the song dies out in the studio.
Her feet plant on the floor, and she dips one arm to her waist and one held out. The crowd cheers, going wild with whoops and shouts of praise.
The Great Bekyamon bows.

Summary
Stars, or at least things that look like them, are the one thing constant in the Glade. Y/N, the only girl in the Glade, finds peace in watching them.

Cute, awkward, and tranquil, "Stars" is the perfect short story if you're in the mood for some cute Y/N x Newt content!

-Y/N uses she/her pronouns in the story
-1807 words
-MY IDEA!!
-this is literally scripted to happen in my dr lol
-not my characters or setting, just idea :)
