Yours

Chapter 5

Thomas' POV

It's been a week and I just want to die. It's so hard just being in class with him, and he doesn't know who I am. I'm done with that I really am. I'm in love with Newt and I need him back in my life.

Today when i walked into math he was already sitting down and I decided to sit behind him. I didn't see him react. He probably didn't even notice how I changed seats.

The lesson had started and we were given a couple of questions. Here's my chance.

"Excuse me." I whisper. My heart is beating against my chest. Don't mess this up Thomas. Newt turned to face me with a confused, and also scared look.

"I was wondering if you could help me out." I say with a smile. Newt doesn't say anything for a whole really getting me concerned. Please Newt don't turn me down.

"Uh ok. What do you need help with?" He said in that beautiful accent of his. I felt the butterflies in my stomach and tried to relax.

"Question 9, it's uh a bit confusing." I said showing him what I had so far. I looked at him as he scanned my answer and it was just so breath taking how beautiful he is.

"Oh well you see, you have to divide the fraction to find x" he began explaining. Honestly, I knew the answer. I'm pretty good in math, but I needed to do something to approach him.

"Thank you so much." I say after he's finished. "I'm Thomas by the way." I say. He looks at me with a small smile.

"Newt." He says back.

"Beautiful name, just like you." I say and I swear I saw him blush before he turned around. I really hope that was a smart move.

When the bell rang I decided to go up to Newt again. To flirt with him some more, get him to notice me.

"Hey Newt!" I called and he turned, waiting for me to catch up.

"I think we have geography together too. Do you mind if I walk with you?" I ask and he blushes a bit again. I think. He may just be shy but whatever he's adorable.

"Sure we can."

"So you came from England?" I asked.

"Uh yeah, I don't really remember much. I was in this bloody weird place for a while. It's weird to explain especially to a stranger." He laughed a bit and the words felt like a bullet in my chest. He called me a stranger. He doesn't know I was in that 'weird place' with him. I knew he was talking about the maze. I couldn't tell him that though.

"Well maybe we could become friends and then we wouldn't be strangers." I say and he smiled again. Oh how I love that smile.

"That sounds great." He says as we get to class. I sit where I usually sit and he went to his regular spot. Maddy soon came in and surprisingly sat on the other side of me. She usually sits between me and Newt.

"What's up?" I whisper to her.

"You guys need to start bonding." She said with a wink. I didn't know how to respond so I didn't and tried to pay attention for once in class.

"So dude you're coming over right?" Minho asked.

"Yeah still don't have the jeep. I really have to fix that thing." I say as we walk through the school's parking lot.

"Ok but I need to tell you that someone's going to be---"

"Hey Minho!" I heard from behind us. I hate Minho so much right now. I turn to see Newt walking towards us.

"Tagging along." Minho finishes his sentence.

"Hey Newt, this is Thomas, one of my ugly shank friends around here." Minho said and pushed him.

"Yeah, Thomas. I met him earlier today." I didn't like Newt calling me that. Thomas. It didn't feel right.

"oh well that's good." Minho says with a smirk in my direction. I roll my eyes and we get in his car. I sit in the passenger and Newt in the back.

For me the car ride was very uncomfortable and awkward. Nobody spoke and the radio wasn't even on. I looked through the rear view mirror a couple of times to see Newt and he would notice and smile making me look Aqua and blush.

We finally get to Minho's house and get inside. Minho decides to be a dick and leave me alone with Newt in his room so he can get food. He never gets food I always have to get it myself. That shank.

"So you know Minho huh?" Newt said trying to make conversation.

"Yeah small world." I say and Newt nods.

"I'm friends with Maddy too. I've noticed you two talking and thought you might be friends." I say hoping the conversation doesn't die. I just need to talk to him. I've missed talking to him. I missed him calling me Tommy, laughing at my dumb jokes or saying bloody.

"Oh yeah, we have some history." He says starting to play with his hands.

"Oh." Is all I say. What the shuck does he mean by that? Did WICKED implant fake memories? Can they do that? I hate those bastards.

"Sorry I took so long, you guys want to play a video game?" Minho says entering the room with a couple bags of chips.

"Sure." I respond but Newt doesn't say anything.

"You ok there Newt?" Minho asks putting the disc in his Xbox.

"I don't really know how to play." He says blushing a bit. Can he stop being cute it would make this a lot easier.

"I could teach you." I offer. Yes this involves more time with Newt and maybe our hands touching.

"No it's alright I'll just watch." I frown. Why won't I be allowed a shot to touch my lover's hand?!

"Ok." I say trying to sound alright about it. Which I'm totally not. Well I guess I'm fine. I finally spoke to him and he doesn't seem to hate me so that's good. The problem is how they I get him to fall for me again.
