Sixty Five

"Hey! Newt!" Teresa shouts, running over to him after school. 

Newt turns around to face her and folds his arms. "What do you want? I have to go meet Tommy, er, Thomas." He shakes his head. "What do you want?"

"I wanted to apologize." She says. 

Newt shifts. He didn't expect that. "Oh."

"Look," She says, grabbing his arm and pulling over to the side. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for kissing Thomas and being all..." She waves a hand.

"Bitchy?" Newt says.

"Sure." She says. "I'm sorry and I hope that maybe we can be friends because I really like Brenda."

Newt looks at her.  "Oh, well, thanks, I guess." 

She smiles at him. "Great!"

She hugs him and before he can register that Teresa is actually hugging him, she runs away. Newt stands there for a minute, shocked, before Thomas walks over to him. 

"Hi!" Thomas says. "You okay?"

"Fine." Newt says. "Teresa just apologized."

"Well, good, I guess." Thomas says, taking his hand. "Come on, let's go."

They walk back to Newt's house and Newt replays Teresa and his conversation in his head. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The only explanation he can come up with is Brenda asked her to. He sighs, shaking his head.

"What is it?" Thomas asks.

"Teresa." Newt says. "She's so bloody confusing."

"Yeah." Thomas says. "Most girls are."

Newt chuckles. "I mean, okay, if you say so. I wouldn't really know."

"You have a little sister." Thomas says.

"Yeah, she's confusing too." Newt says. "That's true. But she doesn't count."

Thomas chuckles. "Okay."

They walk into Newt's house and Lizzy greets them. 

"Hi!" She says. "I'll go, I just have to ask Newt a math question." 

"I don't know anything abou-" Newt starts but Lizzy grabs his wrist and drags him over to the corner. 

"Look," She says. "Harriet is coming over tonight."

Newt grins. "Really? Can Tommy come?"

Lizzy waves her hand. "Not the point! Focus!" She hisses. "God, you know what, nevermind. Go back to Tommy." 

"Don't." Newt says, pointing at her. "What do you want?"

"Oh, nevermind." She says. "Go away." She shoos him away and Newt walks back over to Thomas. 

"Hey, Tommy." He says, putting his arms around his neck. 

"Oh, good, you're back." Thomas says, pulling him closer.

"Oh, get a room." Lizzy shouts from the living room.

Newt sticks his tongue out at her but takes Thomas's hand and drags him up the stairs. 

"Since when do you listen to Lizzy?" Thomas asks, shutting the door. 

"Oh, I don't." Newt says. "I just happened to agree with her."

"Oh, is that right?" Thomas says, smirking. 

"Would you shut up or do you need me to do it for you?" Newt says. 

"The second thing." Thomas says. "You and I both know that I don't shut up." 

"Mhm, I'm glad that you finally understand." Newt says and he kisses him. 

"Have fun?" Lizzy asks when they walk down the stairs later. 

Thomas turns red while Newt says yes. 

"Okay, well, Harriet is coming in twenty minutes so shoo." She says, waving them away.

"Lizzy, this is my house too!" Newt says.

"You know you'd rather be at Thomas's." She says.

"She's right." Newt says to Thomas. "Let's go."
