Out Of Sight Out Of Mind .XI

"So how'd it go?" Gally asked as Newt came back into the dorm.

"Great," he rolled his eyes and plopped down on his bed.

"Uh oh..." Gally sat up and faced Newt, "talk to me kid, what happened?"

"I almost liked it better when we weren't speaking," Newt sighed and grabbed a pillow, holding it tightly.

Gally frowned, feeling slightly at fault.

"What did the slinthead do?"

"Teresa...he did Teresa."

"He had sex with the coffee shop girl?!" Gally's eyes widened.

Newt shook his head, "No, I think he likes her though. He told me she was annoying but today he was all over her. I don't get it! I don't get him!"

"You gotta move on man, find someone who cares. Teresas not going away," Gally stated.

Newt scoffed loudly, "thanks, I really love your bloody positivity."

"I'm sorry, I'm just trying to help," Gally frowned.

"Well maybe you should stop trying because you helping is what got me into this mess in the first place!" Newt snapped.

"Don't blame me for this!"

Newt glared at him, soaking up the offended expression that became apparent on Gally's face.

Then Newt burst out into tears, "I'm such a screw up." He stared pacing between the beds and knotting his hands in his hair.

"No you're not Newt, you're just hurt," Gally's voice softened.

"All I do is mope over bloody shucking Tommy," Newt slid to his knees and cried into his palms.

"Everyone gets heartbroken," Gally gently placed a hand on Newt's back.

"I want to hate him," he sobbed, "I hate the fact that I can't hate him."

"Why don't I order a pizza and we can watch a movie?"

Newt nodded and he wiped his eyes, "thank you."

"Anything for you kid," Gally smiled and then went into the other room to call the pizza place.

"Please Newt! For me!" Minho begged as they walked to their classes together.

"I hate parties," Newt mumbled, "it's not my thing."

"There will be hotties there," Minho nudged Newt making him roll his eyes.

"Why do you even want me to go anyways?"

"Because you're my friend! I haven't hung out with you in a while and you're cool, when you actually talk."

"Fine," Newt frowned, "you're bloody lucky that I like you."

Minho's face lit up, "really?! Yes! Newt's coming to an actual party!"

Newt tried to hold back a smile but failed, "if I hate it I'm leaving."

"You won't hate it, I promise." Minho grinned and ruffled Newt's hair.

Newt just groaned but secretly he was a little excited.

"Hey man you actually showed up!" Alby opened the door and let Newt in to the frat house the party was being held at.

"Who's party even is this?"
