Thomas groaned as he turned his alarm off and looked at the time, 4:00 am.

He got up and did his routine, like brushing his teeth, doing his workout in the home gym and took a shower. He got changed into a tight black shirt, black jeans and black converse. It was sunny out today and he didn't want to damage his eyes so he took his sun glasses, Thomas made sure he looked good and boy did he look good, to say he was muscular was an understatement, he said his byes to the hungover men still half asleep on the couch before he left the house and went to school.

the day went how it usually did, getting harsh words from the pack, boring work he already knew about, and that was pretty much it,

In the middle of economics his phone buzzed and it was Newt texting him,

Newtie🦎 - We're almost there mate, we'll see you when you get out of school, what should we look for btw, we haven't seen your face?

Choo Choo🚂 - oh right, I'll wait by my car, it's an old looking blue jeep.

Newtie🦎 - Alright mate, I'll let you get one with your work then, see you soon

Choo Choo🚂 - yeah bye

Thomas turned his phone off and put it back in his pocket, returning his focus to clicking the pen in his hand.

Time sure passes when you're having fun, the end of day bell rang and Thomas hastily walked out to collect his stuff from his locker. Which he did but almost got his hand ripped off because Scott slammed his locker,

"Hello Scott." Thomas said as he threw his bag over his shoulder and began walking off,

"Who do you think you are, huh?! Sheriff said you just randomly disappeared and now you rock up here like nothing happened?!" Scott shouted following Thomas out the doors of the school

"I moved out. That's it, now if you excuse me I have somewhere to be." Thomas said not even looking at Scott,

Scott huffed in anger and walked away, leaving Thomas alone,Thomas walked over and unlocked Roscoe, throwing his bag in and putting his sunglasses on to block out the sun, he leaned on to his car and pulled out his phone and went onto Instagram to see tonnes of new follows on his Mischief account,

He ran his fingers through his hair and tilted his head back to take in the warm feelings of the summer sun,

"Thomas?" A voice asked, which caused him to look in the direction of the voice, to which he saw Newt and the other Gladers stood behind him,

"Oh hey" Thomas said with a smile,

"Damn greenie, you are muscular after all." Gally said giving Thomas a fist bump,

"So Thomas why don't you show us around town?" Alby said looking around,

"Yeah sure, get in" Thomas said gesturing to Roscoe, they all got in but as Thomas was about to Scott and his goons walked up, Thomas muttered a 'here we go..' before Scott walked over and punched him square in the jaw making Thomas's head snap to the left before he slowly turned back to Scott,

Newt rolled his window down and Gally leaned his head towards it,

"Hey tough guy, the hell do you think you're doing?!" He yelled before climbing out of the car and standing beside Thomas.

"Giving a murderer his deserved punishment!" Scott shouted while glaring at Thomas. The Gladers seemed a bit confused by what he said, what did he mean by murderer?

"Liar Tom wouldn't do something like that." Fry said from the car, Scott lunged for Gally and due to self defence Thomas happened to have a gun on him, he drew his gun,

"Silver bullets. I'd back up, Scott." Thomas said bitterly and Scott jaw clenched, Scott backed up and ran away shouting that 'it wasn't over', Thomas put his gun back in his hidden holster and turned to the Gladers who wore shocked expressions,

"Not the best first impression and I'm sorry for that." Thomas said with a sigh, The Gladers climbed back into the car and headed to Thomas's place,

There was a beat of silence before the Gladers all asked what that was about and why he was called a murderer,

"A couple months back, A guy named Donovan attacked me, I was bleeding a lot so I ran into the school library and climbed the scaffolding. He followed me up and tried to pull me down but I managed to get some bars loose and they fell on top of him.. I didn't feel him trying to drag me down anymore so I looked back and he had been impaled by the bars that fell.. I didn't know what to do so I ran out. Scott the guy you just saw confronted me about it after being told a different story by a guy named Theo. After that my life went downhill, my dad disowned me and my friends left me in the dust." Thomas explained, looking at them in the rear view mirror,

"You went through that only to get left behind by your friends and dad?!" Newt asked shocked at what he'd just been told,

"There's been worse." Thomas said and the others didn't dare ask what,

They soon arrived at the loft to see Derek and Peter training,

"Hey Thomas. These your friends?" Derek said stopping his training

"Yeah I'm gonna show them to the guest room, I'll be down to train in a minute." Thomas said as he lead the way to a huge guest room that had plenty of bunk beds and a huge tv with a large L shaped couch,

"Well you guys can pick where you wanna go, I gotta go train with Derek, if you want to come join once you're settled down you can." Thomas said with a smile,

"Hell yeah, count me in greenie." Gally smirked,

Thomas left them to get settled, he got changed into a more comfortable attire since he knew he would be fighting Peter or Derek as training, his outfit consisted of a unzipped zip up jacket, black sweatpants, some running shoes and of course his fingerless gloves to protect his knuckles from bleeding. He walked down to the area he usually trained with Derek and Peter to see them waiting taking a water break.

Thomas took his jacket off so he would be comfortable while fighting with no shirt on and placed his water bottle down next to it, Derek stood up taking a final sip from his bottle,

"You ready?" Derek asked stepping into the red taped square, The Gladers walked down the stairs and stood off to the side.

"Damn Derek, no chance to warm up?" Thomas said with a smirk as he stepped into the square, Derek chuckled and put his fists up, Thomas doing the same,

"You don't get warm ups in a real fight Tommyboy" Derek threw the first punch which Thomas dodged before grabbing his arm and flipping him over his head, landing Derek on the floor,

"Come on sour wolf, that all you got?" Thomas said taking a step back with his fists still up, Peter chuckled at the old nickname Thomas used to use.

Derek stood back up only to get punched in the face by Thomas, Derek grabbed Thomas's shoulder and punched him in the stomach twice before getting thrown to the floor by him, Thomas got on top of Derek punching him continuously in the face until Derek tapped his hand against the floor surrendering to him.

"Okay I really gotta fight him sometime." Gally whispered to the Gladers, Newt was just staring at Thomas the whole time,

Thomas helped Derek up and went to go have a drink to see the Gladers stood next to it,

"Oh hey when did you get downstairs?" Thomas asked taking a sip from his bottle,

"Enough to see that entire fight, dude you're awesome!" Alby said patting him on the back,

Thomas was about to reply but Peter started speaking,

"Someones here." Peter sighed and suddenly a knock was heard on the door, Derek went to go open it, Derek opened the door talked a little bit and glanced back to Thomas before stepping aside and revealing two girls,

"Lydia? Allison?"
