Thomas POV:
Before school, my best friend, Minho Lee, and I were at my locker talking.
"Minho, is it ok if I stay at your house again tonight?" I asked.
My parents are fighting and are homophobic. They fight because they both blame each other for "turning" me gay. They don't understand that it's not a choice and that it's my life.
"Ya. Your parents fighting again?" Minho asked.
"Ya," I said looking down.
Minho was about to say something, but he looked over my shoulder and started smirking.
"What?" I said cautiously, then turned around.
I saw Newt, the schools hot bad boy. He's been here for two months and I heard that he's already had 7 detentions. He's in my 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 8th hour with Minho and me, then it's just Newt and me in 2nd hour and lunch.
"Here, let me help you," Minho said.
"Wh-"
"NEWT!" Minho yelled, then running around the corner to hide
Newt turned around and smiled, "hey, Tommy."
Tommy. I like it. My first nickname, And they way he said it; beautiful.
"H-Hey N-Newt," I stuttered.
"How are you?" He asked.
"G-Good. You?" I asked.
"Fine," he said smiling.
The bell rang, cutting our conversation short.
"Do you want to walk to class with me?" Newt asked.
"S-Sure," I stuttered.
We walked in the halls to our first hour. As we were walking, I couldn't help but glimpse at him every so often. He was perfect. His shiny dirty blond hair, his little nose, and his AMAZING brown eyes.
"So, what do you think?" Newt asked..
"Huh? I'm sorry. I kinda spaced out," I said blushing.
He chuckled and repeated, "would you like to sit next to me at lunch?"
Did he really ask me to sit next to him? Newt Sangster, the school bad boy, wants to sit with me, Thomas O'Brien, the nobody.
"I mean, you don't have to. I just wanted to know," Newt said, looking down disappointingly and walked away.
"No! I will. I would love to sit with you," I said.
Newt turned around and had the biggest smile on his face, "great!"
I walked to my desk and saw Minho looking at me.
"Dude, what happened?" Minho asked.
"I'm sitting with Newt at lunch today," I said smiling.
"Thomas, that's awesome!" Minho said, cheering.
I blushed and smiled at my desk. I looked up from my desk and saw Newt smiling and winking.
Why does he have to be so attractive?
*Skip to lunch*
I payed for my lunch and walked to the tables. I saw Newt smiling at someone at his table. I breathed in and breathed out and walked to his table. I sat down next to Newt and started eating.
"Hey Tommy," Newt said, "guys, this is Thomas. Thomas these are my friends; that's Gally, that's Alby, that's Ben, and that's Dexter but we call him Frypan."
"Hi," I said, shyly.
"Hey," Gally said.
"What's up?" Alby asked.
"How are ya?" Ben asked.
"Hi," Frypan said.
"Hey, you're friends with that asian kid right? Minho?" Gally asked.
"Minho. Ya. He's my best friend," I replied.
"How do you know Minho?" Frypan asked.
"He's been my best friend since 6th grade and I'm always at his house," I said.
"Why?" Ben asked.
"Oh. Ummm... because...," I said, trying to find the right words.
"Thomas, you don't have to answer," Newt said, placing his hand on my shoulder.
Y-You know, I'm just going to go to my next class," I said.
"Hey man, I'm sorry if I said something I should have?" Frypan asked.
"No. I'm fine," I said, leaving.
I dumped my garbage and went outside the cafeteria and sat next to the door.
"Why did I have to say something about staying with Minho?" I asked myself, crying.
The door opened and the unknown person went around me and sat on the other side of me.
"Hey, it's ok. I'm here," the unknown voice said. I then realized that that voice belonged to the very beautiful, Newt. He wrapped his arm around me and pushed my head into his shoulder. "Everything will be ok. I'll help you. Do you want to tell me anything?"
Y-Ya. I-I've only t-told Mi-Minho th-this," I said, crying.
"What is it, Tommy?" Newt said.
"W-Well, my Mom and D-Dad are always fi-fighting be-because they th-think they "t-turned" me g-gay. Th-they c-constantly bl-blame each other for me being gay. A-As you can t-tell, they are hom-homophobic," I said.
"That's awful. Is that why you said you stay with Minho?" Newt asked.
I nodded my head and put my face into Newt's neck.
"Tommy, you can come to me anytime, ok? I love you and I would like to help you," Newt said.
"You love me?" I said, looking up into Newt's eyes.
"Yes. I know I do. I've never felt this feeling before," Newt said.
Newt put his hand under my chin and tilted up my head to meet each others gaze. He looked into my eyes, then looked at my lips. I took this as a sign that I should kiss him.
I leaned up and pressed our lips together. The kiss was full of passion and love. It was the best kiss I've ever had... it was my first kiss. I felt butterflies all through my body.
We pulled away because we both needed air.
"I love you, Tommy."
"I love you too, Newt."
