"Do you like Thomas?"

I froze, I didn't know what to say. I didn't expect that, "what?" I asked, complete shock covering my voice. "Do you like Thomas?" She repeated her question, and she crossed her arms. I was stunned, and I was speechless. "I-" I honestly had no words, I didn't like Thomas? Well, of course I did, but as a friend, nothing more? I didn't like him? There's no way I liked him. We're just really good friends, right?!

...

Did I like Thomas..?

...

"Newt?" Lizzie asked. "You're just standing there." She added, "Oh-sh-sorry, but no-no I don't like him like that, we're just good friends, joking around." I said, me stumbling over my words did not make it sound convincing. "Mhm.." She replied, raising her eyebrow. "Oh, cmon." I said, throwing my arms out. She just giggled, "Soo.. about that Aris thing - " she started. Before she finished, I cut her off. "No." I said sternly. She just rolled her eyes. "Now let's go back." I said, walking back to the table. I walked into the canteen the exact time someone else walked out of the canteen. They bumped into me, and out of instinct, I grabbed them, I didn't want them to fall?? It was Teresa, and I was holding her by the waist. my luck! Her reaction shocked me, "Get off me!" She spoke, shoving me off her, damn so much for a 'thank you'. "Jesus, I just helped you." I said. I was already getting annoyed. "Yeah, well, you don't need to put your hands all over me." I was shocked. All I did was help her? Nah, I was not having it. "You know what? You're right! Help yourself!" I said, pushing her. She fell on her ass. I didn't mean to push her that strong, I just stared at her, I saw Minho run over, and the others followed. Eventually most of the fucking school was around us. "Woah woah woah, what happened?!" Minho asked, I just stood there, "He fucking pushed me for no reason?!" Teresa complained in a whine, I heard Tommy step up, "What's wrong with you?!" He looked at me while speaking. My heart sank, "YOU'RE TAKING HER SIDE?!" I yelled, I didn't want to yell, I don't know why I yelled. Why did I yell?! What's wrong with me?! "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell.." I said. Everyone was shocked, I took a step back.

I need to learn to control my fucking anger, I heard people yelling at me. It was pissing me off more, I suppose Minho could see through me. He dragged me out of their and stepped outside with me. "Newt, calm." I looked at him, He just gave me a reassuring smile. I started calming down, I'm so grateful for someone like Minho. He held out his arms for a hug, "Go fuck yourself." He frowned, I rolled my eyes, "never happened." I said, hugging him. He laughed, I broke the hug 30 seconds after. "You alright? What did Teresa do." I loved how he always wanted to hear my side. Just as I was about to speak, Tommy sprinted out of the canteen and hugged me, wrapping his arms around my neck, "I'm so so sorry!" I was shocked. "I should've heard you out!" He added, I decided to hug back, the first time I properly hugged Tommy back, I wrapped my arms around him. I saw Minho smile like a proud best friend, sticking up both thumbs up. I smiled at his reaction and broke the hug, "it's okay, Tommy." I said, reassuring him. "I-" he seemed shocked, I was confused now. "Did you just hug me back?" He said, smiling. I just realised. I did. I felt my face heat up, "Ah-no-I didn't." Tommy just laughed, "You totally did!" He said, smiling. "Shut up, man, don't make me regret it." I said, rolling my eyes, "Nono! It was cute!" I froze. Did he just call me cute? Why did I feel like a bomb exploded in my chest?! I shook off the feeling, "Sorry for yelling at you.. earlier." I apologised, I really was sorry, I wish I could control myself more.

LAST CLASS
(geography)

"OH CMON?!" I complained, Tommy, Minho, and Alby were crying of laughter. Literally. "BRO NO WAY." Tommy said, laughing at my stupidity in geography. "HOW IS THAT NOT THAT?!" I said absolutely befuddled. I looked over at Minho. He was actually crying and hitting the table. "This is actual bullying, I help you." They wouldn't stop laughing, we were so lucky the teacher was out of the room getting stuff, or else we would be sent out. "Newt.. you're a lost cause in geography." Minho said, "HEY! ... you know what, fair enough."
