♠️Thomas' POV♠️

Newt left early in the morning so that Gally wouldn't notice that he stayed here. But of course when Gally ends up going home he'll see Newt.

I hate seeing him go.

I like him here.

I like him with me.

I get dressed and walk to school, Newt drifting behind me. I want to stop, I want to wait for him. I look back at him and glare and his hand, I feel like I should grab it, but I don't. People can't see us, people can't know. When we get to school Newt turns to me.

"See you later Tommy," he says with a raised eyebrow.

"See you later Newt," I say and whisper under my breathe I love you as he walks into the school building.

♣Newt's POV♣

I have to see Kester today, but for once, I don't care. I'm happy. I'm with Tommy. Tommy makes me happy. Whether he believes it or knows it or not.

I bump into Teresa on the way into my class.

"Newt," she says flashing me a smile. "Have you seen Thomas? We are meant to be going out later," She adds. I thought me and Tommy we're going out. Obviously not...

"No, sorry, we walked in together but I don't know where he's gone now," I say sliding to one side to clear my path from her.

I hear her mutter something about me lying under her breathe as she walks away.

I mean I like Teresa, don't get me wrong. But I also don't like her. She's been friends with Thomas for years; she's fancied him for years, and I just well.. I don't like it.

It's not like I'm jealous.

I just don't like it.

After I come out of my first class I have free periods so I go to see Kester.

I knock on the door and he tells me to come in.

"Newton," He says looking up from his book. "How are things, we haven't seen each other in a while, have we?" I don't bother correcting him on my name, he's always going to call me Newton. I sit down on the chair across from him and smile at him.

"Things are good," I say truthfully nodding.

"Really?" He asks a little concerned.

"Yeah.. Er, dad turned up but he left again because he didn't like seeing me hanging out with my friends. Thomas came out to us, and well.. We're together," I say. "Kinda. He doesn't want people to know yet,"I add sadly.

"And what do you think of that?" He asks taking a sip of his drink.

"I like Tommy. A lot. If he's happy, I'm happy," I say.

"Anything else?" Kester asks.

"Not really," I say looking at the clock.

"See you, in two weeks is it? After my vacation?" He asks looking in his diary.

"Yep," I say standing up and going to leave.

I shouldn't of told him about me and Thomas.

He didn't want people to know.

What have I done.

When I come out of Kesters office I'm face to face with Thomas.

He smiles at me and my heart melts.
