Newt AU // Classmates (Pt.1) *REQUEST*

* This imagine was requested by John_Lemmon
I am so sorry for how long this took! I really loved writing this one though and I hope you like it!

Also I want to say that I am from America, so I will use the American school system and it's probably different in other places. I'm sorry if your school doesn't do it this way. *

The blaring of my 5:45 AM alarm jerked me awake in my bed from the nice sleep I was having. Groaning, I slipped out of bed to get ready for my school day. I cursed whoever's idea it was to make high school start so early.

I took half an hour to get ready and rush out to the front door where I would wait for my best friend to pick me up. He didn't have a car, but he still walked the extra 3 blocks to come to my house and walk with me to school. He was always selfless like that- maybe that's why I've had the biggest crush on him for so long.

"Hey," he said as he approached my front door right as I stepped out of it. He had a zip-lock bag full of warm pancakes in his hand, and was holding them out for me. "My mum made pancakes and I thought you might want some, since you always forget to eat breakfast."

I took the bag from him and adjusted the strap of my backpack as I walked down the steps. "I don't forget. I just hate eating so early. But I'll gladly take these since I know they're so good." I popped open the bag, handing one of the three pancakes to Newt and taking a bite out of another.

Our walk to school was a little over a mile, so we left extremely early in the morning so that we could make it to school while still being five minutes early. Our school was our main priority, and our straight A's were a clear sign of that. Newt and I shared most classes too- all honors or AP classes to bring up our GPA's.

As soon as the first bell rang for us to enter school, we rushed past the crowd of students to get to our lockers first, and of course they were right next to each other's.

"Do you think we'll need our Psych books?" Newt asked while trading a few notebooks from his bag for binders from the locker.

"Probably, but if Ms. (Y/Teacher/N) was nice, she'll move the test to tomorrow," I replied, wincing as the student to my left slammed their locker shut. Newt laughed at me but played it off as a cough. I pushed his shoulder as I walked past him and waited for him to join back at my side.

We were walking to our classroom when the group of our friends all came into view from the other direction. I grinned widely noticing Teresa's hand linked with Thomas's other one. Teresa had had a crush on Thomas for months now, and I'm guessing she finally worked up the nerve to ask him out.

"When did this happen, Tommy?" Newt chuckled when he saw their hands too. Teresa blushed and quickly left Thomas to explain to me the story.

"Well after our date last night, he asked me if I wanted to make it official and I said yes!" We grabbed each others hands and squealed happily before coughing it off and pretending it didn't happen. We had never done that before, but we assumed it was only fitting since she finally got the boyfriend she's been wanting.

"So," she added with a hint in her tone, "when are you and Newt gonna start going out?"

I stared up at her shocked before stuttering out inaudible words. "Wh-what? Me- me and N-newt? No, no, no, there's- we're just... there's nothing." Teresa laughed at my excuse for an answer and glanced back at the boys who were all laughing over something silly that must have happened this week.

"Oh come on. You two have been best friends for years, practically are glued at the hip, and you both look at each other like he's the sun in the sky," she dreamily gazed off with her hands pressed against her chest.
