The First Glader

HIStory

Now as you started walking, none of you talks. Thomas grabbed your hand and placed it on his elbow for you to have support. Your eyes met with his. He smirked as he observe your physique, mesmerized. He hold his step and faced you. Confused, you stop walking and faced him as he did.

"What is it, Thomas? Is there any problem?"

"No, uhm. (y/n), you look so familiar, have we met before?"

"Well, I don't think so" you respond with a puzzled look

You're confused at the thought that he knows who you are or maybe you've been part of his life before you met him.

You didn't know that he seems familiar to you is that you were best friends when you were younger. You got separated when he left for London. It was hard for you to let go of him because you were close, you were neighbors, your families were close and he turns out to be your ultimate crush. As you know that he became a celebrity, you lost contact with each other. You may not know he might have few memories of you left in his memory or maybe more. But you keep distance.

You didn't know this because for unknown reason. You thought maybe someone erased your memories and replaced it with another one.

"I see. I just want to appreciate you. I don't know. I'm sorry. Is just that there's a part of me screaming that you were part of my life before, my history, my youth days maybe. I don't know, that's bloody weird."

You were stilled at his speech. You stared at him as he was saying something. Disoriented, you examine the situation trying to figure out what's really going on, thinking how would you be part of his life before.

Tommy's heart melts and flashbacks from the past played in his mind. As he stares at you. He remembers his memories with you. How you enjoy watching the sunset together. How happy you were having each other's company. That memory when the bubble gum blew up on his face made him laugh.

"What's funny?" you asked in a confused expression

"Nothing, I'm just happy I finally met you" he clarify

"Well--"

He suddenly grabs you for a hug. He wrapped his arms around your waist. Stunned, you did the same. He squeezed you as his body pressed against yours. Heat starts to rushed in your veins. You feel spark at that moment. You stay in that position for seconds.. minutes.. it's a countless time. You felt it was infinity.

A vehicle pass by you interrupt that surreal moment. Both of you release spontaneously and silence came between you. Awkwardness arise as none of you doesn't want to speak first.

"Uh.. Shall we?" surprisingly he utters as he offers his hand to you

"Sure" finally you took his hand and saw him flash a bright smile

You head to the coffee shop with holding hands. You feel awkward but at the same you feel kilig along the way.

As you arrived at the coffee shop you talk about your family and your personal interests. While you were sipping your coffee, you sensed that Thomas was staring at you. He pays attention at your actions as you awkwardly lay your back on the back support of your chair.

You remember that vehicle that interrupted your moment a while ago was somehow a military vehicle, you thought of WICKED.

"Thomas, what would you do if WICKED exists?"

He spat his coffee at the side. "What?"

"I'm sorry, I was just curious.."

"Well, that bloody organization in the book and movie. Hmm. I don't really know. I'll risk my life protecting my love ones. I don't really trust WICKED, (y/n). We're not subjects because we're not mice trying to find the cheese." He explain as he was edifying.

You stand still while listening. You didn't say a word but you saw his eyes saddened like he's experiencing a variable given by WICKED that he can't express it like in the book series.

"Are you okay, Thomas?" you asked with a hint of concern in your voice

"Huh? Yeah.. Uh.. I am" your heart beats fast as you heard his stuttering. Something's wrong.
