Textbooks, Tests and Oh, College - [Newtmas AU]

Psychology Maybe .IV

"I didn't mean to ditch you," Newt shyly looked down at his shoes.

Gally shrugged, "it's cool. I could tell how uncomfortable you were at that orientation."

"I'm sorry," Newt frowned.

Gally just smiled and shook his head,"seriously, it's fine."

Newt grinned and sat down on his bed. His exhaustion finally hit him as he let his body sink into his surprisingly comfortable mattress. He closed his eyes to just rest for a few moments but was interrupted as his phone vibrated in his pocket.  

Newt groaned as he pulled it out to check his notification.

It was a text from an unknown number.

999-9999: Hey 

Newt: Who is this..?

999-9999: Thomas, got your number from Alby

Newt: Good that, hey what's up?

Thomas: I'm bored...Minho went somewhere so I'm alone. hbu?

Newt: In my dorm with Gally

Thomas: Roommate?

Newt: Yup, he's cool

Thomas: ah good that 

Newt: hey don't take my sayings!

Thomas: so far I think you've said more over text then you did the whole time we hung out...

Newt: sorry...

Thomas: nono don't be, I was just saying...anyways I should shower, text you later :)

Newt: Ttyl Thomas :)

Newt grinned as he shut off his phone.

"Who you texting?" Gally suddenly asked.

"No one...I was just on twitter," Newt lied, feeling his face flush red.

"Oh no you we're definitely texting someone cause your cheeks got all red," Gally smirked.

"No...uh," Newt stammered.

"Who is she?"

"Huh?"

"The girl you like?" Gally prodded.

"There is no girl," Newt rolled his eyes.

"Whatever you say," Gally gave up and went back to his own phone.

Newt huffed and shut his eyes again. He let his mind wander to the events of the day...especially when he was riding on a certain someone's back. He loved the feeling of his body against the other boy's, it just felt right. He imagined how good it would feel to cuddle him. He was just so nice...and so cute.

Newt stuffed his face into a pillow, he just met the boy today he shouldn't be thinking about him like that. 

"There's not a girl, huh?" Gally snickered, making Newt groan loudly.

Gally just laughed and then got up and stretched,"I'll be back," he said before actually leaving.

Newt sat in silence for a few minutes until he started to doze off. He quickly sat up in his bed and lazily got up and headed to his dresser. He pulled out a pair of sweatpants and quickly changed, discarding his shirt and jeans on the floor, he'd deal with them later. Turning off the light, he crawled back under his comforter and fell asleep almost instantly, probably for the best because he had a long day ahead of him...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!

"Bloody hell," Newt groaned as he clamped his hands over his ears.

He heard a bang and Gally loudly swearing as the alarm finally stopped.

Newt blindly searched for his phone and checked the time, "Gally! It's already 8:00!"

Gally swore again and started quickly got up, both their first classes started at 9.

Newt stretched and slowly started to get up. He grabbed his crinkled up schedule off his dresser and rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he tried to figure out where he was going. His first class was pre-med in a building about 20 minutes walking distance away from his dorm. He let out a sigh of relief as he realized he had plenty of time. 

He pulled a granola bar out of his backpack and quickly devoured it. 

After he was done he grabbed a clean pair of jeans and a long sleeve dark green shirt out of his drawer. He changed quickly and put on his black high-tops.

Grabbing his stuff, he headed down the hall to the bathroom where he brushed his teeth and hair.

Finally, after he was completely ready, it was 8:30 so he decided to start walking to class. It's trashy being late on the first day.

He took a deep breath and left the security of his dorm for his first official day of college.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Newt thought his first class went well, the teacher seemed fair and he sat next to a really nice but also shy boy named Aris.

Next was psychology.

Newt walked in later then he hoped, but he was still on time. He liked being one of the first ones there so he could get first picks on seats. As he was scanning the room he heard someone call his name.

"Hey Newt!"

He looked over to see none other then Thomas.

He couldn't suppress his grin as he walked over to sit in the empty seat next to the brunette.

"Hey," Thomas smiled as the British boy sat down.

"Hey," he mumbled.

"'s cool we have a class together," Thomas shrugged.

"Yeah, I'm glad," Newt met Thomas's gaze and tried his hardest to not blush.

"Yeah now you can let me copy your homework, right?" Thomas winked then laughed as if to let Newt know he was kidding.

"Very funny," Newt shook his head then thought for a moment,"I guess this means we can study together then!"

"Yeah!" Thomas's face lit up,"what do you have next?"

"I'm free till later, I only have 3 classes today."

"I'm free till 4! Wanna get lunch or something?" Thomas asked as he pushed his hair out of his eyes.

"Yeah, of course!...I mean sure," Newt stammered, making Thomas laugh.

"You know I think you and I are gonna be really good friends," Thomas smirked.

"Hello class, welcome to psychology..." the teacher suddenly entered the class, cutting off their conversation.

Newt couldn't wipe the small smile off his face, his first day was already off to a perfect start.
