Thomas' POV

"What can I get for you today?"

Natalia orders. "I'll take the chicken breast, and... an iced sweet tea, no lemon."

The waitress scribbled down her order. "And you?"

"Make that two, please."

"Alright it should be done shortly." She walks away.

"That wasn't funny!"

"What? Me scaring you?"

"Yes! This whole year is not going to be very fun, is it?"

"Don't worry. When do your classes start?"

"Three days."

"Which high school are you going to?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm going to Kingsbury High School."

"Oh. Well, I'm sure you'll do well. Wait..."

She laughs. She has a nice laugh. Again? Really Thomas? Don't let it go farther than that.

"So, um, do you have enough clothes to last for a bit?"

"Uh, I've got a couple outfits."

"We are going shopping after dinner!"

"No way! You barely know me I can't let you spend money on me!"

"I'm driving, you can't say no."

"Erg."

"Here's your order." The waitress hands us our food. We dig in.

Once we finish, I pay and then go to the car. Natalia gets in and we start to go.

"I hope we're going to your house."

"Nope," I pop the 'p' "we're going to the mall."

"Thomas Brodie-Sangster I told you I don't want you to spend money on me!"

"Not so loud! The paparazzi in America can hear you, I'm sure."

"Whatever." She crosses her arms as we park. We head into the mall.

"First stop..?"

"Hot Topic?"

"Yeah, I think there's one. Not many people shop there."

"Well I'm not a normal 'people'."

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" We walk into the store and Natalia searches through the clothes. She picks out a T-shirt, two pairs of jeans, a pair of shoes, and a white backpack that came with buttons. We go up to pay.

"What does your shirt say?"

"It says, 'The difference between pizza and your opinion is that I asked for pizza' it's sassy, like me. It's also smart-assy, like me."

I laugh.

"Is there a GAP here?"

"Of course." I lead her to the store. She walks in and picks out a sweatshirt, a shirt with nyan cat on it, and a pair of bright orange capris.

I pay for the clothes. "Anything else?"

"No. You've already spent more than enough on me."

"Let's go then."

We get in the car and she pulls her backpack out. I watch as she puts the buttons on.

Natalia's POV

"Eyes on the road." He looks at the road and slightly blushes. Why's he blushing? I shrug it off.

When I'm done, I look at my buttons on my bag. The Janoskians, 5 SOS, a pizza, a '<4', the American flag, and Mikey (the ninja turtle) all have there own button on my bag.

I'm really not like other girls. I don't even wear makeup. I mean, I'm not a clown.

"Eyes on the road, Mr. Sangster."

"I'm not your teacher, Natalia. You can call me Thomas."

"You can call me Nat, if you want, most people do."

"I think Natalia is a lovely name. Plus, Nat sounds funny with my accent."

It really does. But Natalia sounds pretty with his accent. I like it. "Well, Thomas, are we almost at your house?"

"Just about."

After a couple minutes we pull into the driveway of a really big house.

"You have a big house. Do you live alone, Thomas?"

"Normally, but you're here, so it won't be as lonely." He grins. I blush slightly. To hide it, I get out to get my stuff. "Let me help you." he grabs my big suitcase.

"No. I can get it. The bags too."

"You don't like help, do you?"

"I only want help when I need it. So just don't close the door and I'll be fine."

"Well I'm at least grabbing the carry-on and one of the bags."

Don't help me! "Erg. Fine."

We grab my stuff and bring it inside. "Thank you, Thomas."

"No problem."

"This is a nice place."

"Thanks. There's not many people to make a mess. Want me to show you to your room?"

"Sure, thanks." I follow Thomas up a flight of stairs. We go down the hall.

"Pick any room!"

"Any room?" He nods. "Um, okay." I open a couple doors. I choose a nice sized room with a bathroom. "This one isn't yours, right?"

"Nope."

"Then I'll take it."

"Alright then." He sets down my bags on the bed. "Go ahead and get comfy. Call me if you need anything."

"Thanks." I set my stuff down on the bed and start to unpack. I take my binder and other school stuff out of my carry-on and put it in my backpack. I take out my books and arrange them on a small bookshelf.

Then, the clothes. So. Many. Clothes. Hey! Now's a great time to call Mom.

I pull my phone out of my pocket and click on my Mom's picture. It rings twice and she picks up.

"Hi honey! How's London?"

"It's nice."

"Did you find out who you're staying with?"

"I bet you knew. Thomas Brodie-Sangster. He plays Newt, right?"

"Yes. And he plays Simon, and Ferb, and-"

"Wait, he plays Ferb?!"

"Yup."

"Well, I gotta get unpacked. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Love you."

"Love you too honey." We hang up.

Now. The clothes.
