When Everything Seems Wrong ♡ Newtmas

#1: Fresh Start

Thomas

Freshmen year, the year your life as an adult really begins. Thomas planned on going to The University of California for as long as he could remember, and so the unexpected butterflies in his stomach had him on edge.

The ride from his home in the small town of Ridgewood had been awkward to say the least. Thomas' poor mother was doing the best she could to fill the silence, but he wasn't making it easy.

"So do you know who you'll be sharing a dorm with? Tom? Thomas?" His mother said with hopeful glances at Thomas.

"What?" He asked, snapping out of his haze.

"I said do you know who you'll be sharing a dorm with?"

"Oh, yeah. Says his name's Minho. I think the name's Chinese or something." He shrugged picking at his fingernails.

After that she got the hint Thomaswasn't in the mood to talk, and the conversation fizzled out.

When he finally arrived on campus stepping out of the car, the view stopped the boy in his tracks.

He couldn't help but marvel in the beauty, from the brick lecture halls to the autumn leaves blanketing the well kept grounds.

Thomas kissed his mother goodbye, promising to write and call before he headed off to find his dorm.

He was busy looking around trying to find his way as he bumped into a pretty dark haired girl nearly sending her sprawling on the pavement.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry," Thomas blushed as she steadied herself.

"It's all good," she beamed, "it's not the first time that's happened today."

He couldn't help smiling back, the girl just gave off a really relaxed vibe.

"I'm Thomas," He told her extending his hand.

"Teresa. Nice to meet you Thomas." She shook Thomas' hand and looked at something over his shoulder before telling him, "I should probably go find my boyfriend Gally, but we should hang out sometime."

He nodded as she quickly walked away, leaving him with the task of finding his dorm.

Thomas set off walking again paying more attention this time but he was also thinking. He liked Teresa and she seemed great, and I wondered if maybe he'd end up in her group of friends.

Thomas thought about the boyfriend she mentioned, Gally, but not because he was jealous. That definitely wasn't the case because of something only his closest friends knew.

Thomas was gay.
