Fate is a Dangerous Thing {Newtmas Fanfic}

Nervous

The alarm clock rang at exactly 6:45 am. Thomas popped right out of bed. He then proceeded to walk swiftly to the washroom and splash some cool water onto his face to wake himself up.

"School..", the exhausted boy uttered. He had barley gotten a wink of sleep thanks to the sandy blonde boy that flooded his thoughts, keeping him conscience majority of the night.
Thomas carried on his brand new routine. He brushed his teeth, tussled his thick, dark hair and went to the closet where slipped into a pair of new jeans and a penny t-shirt. As he did so, he glanced into the mirror to take one last look at himself before his big day.

"School.. You can do this.. You can do it.. You got your brother there if you need anyone.. It'll be fine Thomas.. Just focus on school.. Just focus on anything but Newt..". The boy sighed at the end of his self pep-talk, staring at himself in the mirror taking one last final deep breath before exiting the room, showing he was ready for this. That he was ready for high school.

"C'mon Thomas! We are going to be late! And I still gotta pick up Lydia!", yelled Thomas's impatient brother.
Thomas hopped down each step at a quick pace, grabbing his new backpack sitting at the top step and slinging it over one of his perfectly chizzled shoulders.

"Ready". Thomas said with little to no confidence.
"Yeah, sure sounds like it", stiles swoops in with another sarcastic comment but lightens up with a genuine smile as he see's Thomas is nervous. "It'll be fine Thomas.. We have 3rd period together", he says as he glances at the schedule on the desk beside the door, "and look, you got english with my best friend Scott, he'll make sure you feel right as rain. It also looks like you have 2 classes with Malia".
"Who's Malia?"
"My ex..", stiles pausing awkwardly.
"Oh..".
"But that's all in the past, we are great friends and she's a great girl, she knows what it's like to jump into school with little experience".
"Good to know", Thomas added. Although he was still slightly shaken, the thought of knowing of a few people that he could talk to made him feel a bit more secure.
"Alright", Stiles says, clapping his twin on the back, "let's get goin".
"Good that".

The Twins had picked up Lydia and drove up to the school, parking in what Stiles called "his spot". Thomas climbed out of the car and walked awkwardly beside the couple, Stiles and Lydia, holding hands. He felt like the ultimate third wheel, like a clingy brother. He wanted to branch off and talk to someone, but he couldn't get himself to, all the dirty looks, the whispers, the shock on people's faces seeing that there were 2 Stilinski's.

Is this what High School is really like?! Looks a lot better in the movies..

He suddenly wanted to crawl into a hole and stay out of sight for eternity, until a kind face approached the 3 of them.

"Hey stiles, what's up?". His voice was, even, kind, and smooth. It was like melted butter on a fresh stack of pancakes.
"Hey Scott", Stiles says as he unlocks hands with the strawberry blonde and gestures toward Thomas.
"This is my brother, Thomas".

Thomas lightly smiles remembering that Stiles had mentioned Scott earlier.
"Thomas, I've heard a lot about you. Stiles has said so much that I feel like I already know you, but it's nice to finally meet you". The smoothed voiced boy said with a grin.
Thomas shifts his gaze to Stiles who has a slight hint of light pink on his cheeks, indicating his embarrassment. Although
Thomas is quite flattered at the fact his brother his already bragging about him, his face remains the same as he responds to his new acquaintance.
"You too". He says as he proceeds to shake Scotts hand that he had gestured out to him.

The first bell rings.
"You got english right?", Scott asked Thomas.
"Yeah I do", he responded.
"Me too, we should start heading there now".
Thomas nods and follows Scott, feeling like a lost puppy.

Thomas didn't feel that way for too long. He almost fell right into place. Scott was probably the nicest person he had ran into since he got out of the Scorch.
