Thomas' POV

I got ready for school as usual and went downstairs to have breakfast. I saw Teresa having tea and actually starting to look a bit sick.

We said our good mornings and ate in peace. I heard someone call my name and I looked up.

"Are things going better Thomas?" I see Chuck with a smile and honestly he's the only reason I wasn't terribly depressed lately.

"Uh I guess so... Newt, he's here." I say trying to sound calm about it. I'm not even sure how I feel. I feel happy but sad at the same time and I'm not sure how that's possible.

"Really? Yes! Is he gonna come over anytime soon?" He asked and I frowned.

"I don't think so Chuck." I sigh and he noticed he has said something wrong and doesn't bring it up again. I finish my cereal and go leave for school. I check my phone as I start walking and see I have a couple texts from Minho

Minho: dude why'd you bail??

Minho: I was trying to get you two to mingle

Minho: fine don't answer me, but I need to know if i pick you up this morning or not.

I respond to the last text message saying I'm ok with walking. I continue looking at my phone looking for music to play as I walk when I bumped into someone.

"Sorry." I heard a British accent-- WAIT BRITISH?! I look up and see Newt. SHIT SHUCK SHIT SHIT.

"it's ok." I whisper and keep walking. I JUST SPOKE WITH NEWT FOR TWO SECONDS! Now he thinks I'm a klutz. Now he will never like me. Ughhhhh.

•••

I was in my math class and I wanted to die because of the incident this morning. Minho said it's no big deal but it's a big deal to me. I made the worst first impression ever. Maybe he didn't see my face? His head was down. Ok maybe I'm still in the clear.

I look over at Newt to see him biting his lip trying to copy down the notes and man did he look hot while doing that. He licked his lips when he looked up and I could feel myself blushing from the thoughts running in my head.

I look back down and play with my bracelet. I just need him to remember. I just don't know how to make that happen.

For the rest of class I tried paying attention but I sucked at it. It's not my fault there's a beautiful angel just a few metres away from me.

The bell rang and I darted my eyes at Newt. It's now or never. I get up and walk up to him but before I could breathe someone interrupted me.

"Hey Newt, I saw we're in the same class you mind walking together." This random ass shank asked him. She was twirling her hair like crazy and batting her eyelashes. Can she shuck off? He's mine.

"Sure." He said and my heart dropped. There goes my chance. I walked alone to class making sure Newt and that girl were nowhere in sight. Once I got inside I sat where I say yesterday, beside Maddy. Newt then came inside and of course sat beside Maddy.

I hate my life right now.

Newt's POV (wow shocker)

I tried paying attention to the teacher as I took notes not even sure what the bloody hell he was talking about or what class I'm in. I couldn't stop thinking about that boy.

I don't know his name, I decided to name him Dylan. I see him around a lot and I don't know but every time I look at him, I feel something weird in my stomach. I don't know what that means.

I looked over Maddy to see him there. He seemed as if he was just staring into space and he looked so cute. Wait what. Cute? Uh ok.

Anyways the guy doesn't like me, it's pretty obvious. Every time our eyes meet he looks the other way. And yesterday when Minho said I was coming over he immediately declined. I guess I kinda wish he liked me. But I don't like him. I like girls. I don't like guys. Though this guy. He makes me feel different.

My thoughts are interrupted by the bell and I quickly pack up. I look to where the guy usually sits but he was already gone.

"Newt are you ok?" Maddy asked. I tried to smile for her, ignoring the feeling in my stomach.

"Yeah totally fine love." I said and she flinched a bit.

"Everything alright love?" I ask her and she stumbles a bit as we walk out of the class.

"It's just that it's been a while since you've called me that..." She said. What does she mean? Didn't we date in the glade? I remember always calling her love.

"Oh I was wondering. We never broke up." I brought up taking her hand into mine and she looked at me confused and then did a "oh" face.

"Right, we dated. That's what you remember." She whispered loud enough for me to hear. I didn't say anything as I waiting for to say something.

"I think we should kinda break up, since I guess you just got back and stuff." She says and I nod. I didn't really feel anything for Maddy, or at least not anymore. I couldn't stop thinking about that guy. Dylan. I want to know who he is, get to know him.

Just in a friendly way. I'm not gay or anything.
