[A/N] Okay hi. This is my first attempt at truly actually trying something like this, so I hope you like it.

✖️Newt's POV✖️

My mother pulled me up to my school.
"Bye mum," I said while opening the door. She started to say something, probably stupid, but I shut the door before I could hear it.

I walked up to the Surry High building, scanning the brick walls with my eyes. I arrive at the two glass doors that lead into it. The cold, metal handle sent chills through my body as I swung the door open. As I approach my locker, I notice Wyatt Wittecker standing in front of it. Wyatt has always been a major bully, to me anyways. Everyone teases me at the least, but Wyatt was always the worst. I do nothing but stand in front of him, hoping he will move his muscular body somewhere else. I just stare.

"Need in here, Newtie boy?" He scoffs.

"Told ya' not to call me that you bloody idiot," I reply, crossing my arms.

"Awe, is Newtie pie getting angry?" He mocks making puppy eyes and sticking out his bottom lip.

"Hey!" Someone calls from down the hallway. The principal.

"Oh, crap." Wyatt says, running off.

I sigh and open my locker, grabbing my books for my first class, Geography. I never liked geography, it's pretty boring in my opinion.

The second bell rang and I was already in my desk. Our teacher, Mr. Bryan, began to speak.

"Okay, today is going to be a bit different. We have a new student that will be coming in any minute now."

The class doesn't make much noise, they don't seem excited, but neither am I. I mean, what do I have to be excited about? It's not like they're going to be my friend anyways.
-
A few minutes have passed and we're all doing our work. Then, we hear a knock on the door.

"Newt, would you mind getting that? It's probably the new student," Mr. Bryan explains.

"Sure," I say.

I stand up and walk to the door, I twist the handle and swing it open. I see the principle and a boy standing there. I can't help but notice how handsome he looks.

The principle gives me a satisfying smile, I nod in response. They both walk in the classroom. The boy looks nervous. He's fiddling with his hands and looking down. Yeah, he's nervous.

I sit back down at my desk, and I notice I'm staring at the new boy. I force myself to look away, I don't even know him yet, he could be a complete jerk.

"Well this must be the new student!" Bryan exclaims getting up from his chair and walking to shake the boy's hand.

"Why, yes it is," Principle Lydia says. She continues and looks at the boy. "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

He looks up and quietly says, "I'm Thomas."

Thomas. That has a nice ring to it.

"Good that. The only desk that seems to be open is this one next to Newt, here." Principle Lydia gestures toward me.

Thomas walks to the desk and sits down. He looked at me, and he smiled. No one's smiled at me in a long time.

I smile back, but only slightly.

[A/N] Okay I feel like this was kinda bad, but it gets interesting. I've kind of got it planned out in my head.

Tell me what you think?
