Thomas' POV

The next two periods were boring. I had no friends in those classes and worse, I had no Newt.

Finally the last bell rings and I quickly walk out of the classroom. I go to my locker and get what I need for home. After school Minho sometimes comes over and does homework, I think he mostly does it so I don't feel alone.

I close my locker and head over to Minho's. As his locker was in sight I stopped dead in my tracks. My palms got sweaty and I forgot how to breathe. Newt was there.

He was talking to Minho laughing and smiling. It made me so happy to be able so see him smile again. I wish I could make him smile. Should I go there? What if I make a complete fool of myself? I decided not to go. I turn around to walk the other way when I hear someone calling my name.

"Hey Thomas where you going? Car is this way." I turn and see Minho with a smirk as Newt is still by his side. Oh please God don't tell me he's coming to his house too.

"Oh and Newt's tagging along." Of course.

"Sorry dude I uh, I can't I have to go straight home boy." I say walking the other way cursing under my breath.

I couldn't go with them, I just wasn't ready to face Newt and pretend that I don't know him. This is all just so stupid why can't he remember me? Why! I walk all the way home thinking about ways I could approach Newt and impress him.

I need to find a way to trigger his memory, but I don't know what to do. I didn't realize I got to my house so quickly. I walked up the two steps and opened the door seeing it was unlocked.

Teresa was on the couch under a couple layers of blankets. She hasn't been at school because she's sick, but I think she's just avoiding something.

"Hey Tom." She says with a weak smile.

"Hey, how you feeling?" I ask sitting on the couch beside her.

"Better, i think Monday I'll be better."

"It's Wednesday." I stated and she nodded.

"I know but for sure I'm not well enough for tomorrow or the rest of the week." I simply nodded and went upstairs to change into something more comfortable.

I changed into sweat pants and a tank top. I laid on my bed looking at the ceiling and just thought about the situation I'm in. I don't know what to do about Newt. Should I be those guys who flirt all the time? Should I be hard to get? UGH THIS IS SO STUPID!

I groaned while I thought of more things. I'm so stupid. Why don't I just be myself? That's how I got him the first time, right?

Whatever I'm tired and need sleep.

A/N this was a dumb chapter, but I'm half asleep right now
