~The diner~

...~Chapter 8~...

Thomas' POV

Tuesday, April, 15

I honestly didn't know why it bothered me so much. Like, I just met the guy and I already feel broken. Yep, there's definitely something wrong with me. I just stared out the window while Minho was on his phone. Smiling at whatever was on it. Probably texting his new girlfriend. So, yeah, Minho practically had a new girlfriend every month. Yeah, Month. While I'm over here having a new boyfriend every 5 Years. yeah, I know. My life is crap but uh, that' just life, right? I'm guessing I'll be alone forever. I started to feel even sadder. God, am I on my man period?! I'm having mood swings, oh, and I'm Really craving chocolate... Yeah, I'm on my man period. (A/n I felt so weird writing that part. Is a man period even a real thing?? What if it is... WOAH!) I was in thought, thinking about how gross that sounds when I heard footsteps and plates hitting our table. "Here you go," said a British accent. Newt. I heard Minho say a quick, "Thanks," then dug into his food. He turned to me, "You sure you don't want anything Tomm- Thomas! Oh my god! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to call you that!" He said, rambling and blushing like a madman. I was screaming inside. Did he just call -well almost- call me Tommy? I face him completely. "It's okay, and no thanks. But thanks anyways.," I said and turned back to the window. I heard him say a soft, "Okay..." And then heard footsteps growing fainter as he walked away from our table. 

Minho and I sat in silence, again. I didn't know what to talk about. That was until Mino decided to end the awkward silence, "So, what do you think of Newt?" He asked awkwardly. I turned to face him, my face blushing like crazy. "W-what?" I stuttered. God, I hate when I stutter. I only do it when I'm embarrassed or nervous. Minho chuckled a little. "Well, I mean, you're acting weird around him. Do you like him?" Minho teased, getting a spoonful of the omelet. "Well, I mean, maybe I've changed? You're never around to hang with me anymore..." I trailed off, not wanting to get on his bad side. "Thomas, dude, we've been over this. I cant ruin my reputation." He said, looking at me straight in the eye. "Yeah, I know." I did know, it just hurt to hear him say that. I felt tears in my eyes. We used to be such good friend. Until he joined the football team and became the captain. We once again, for the third time today, sat in silence. That's when I was done with it and finally said, "I guess, I uh, sorta.. like him?" I said, blushing and looking down at my lap. I started fiddling with my fingers when I didn't hear from him. Then I heard a little squeal. "Wait, Really?! You like him!?" Minho almost yelled, jumping up and down in his seat. I laughed. I had never seen this side of Minho. "So, wait! Can I help you get a date with him?! I mean, I know a Lot about him! So I could be a really good help!" He almost yelled again. "Minho! Shut up! Also 3 things. 1) He obviously has a girlfriend 2)  I just met him yesterday. and 3) That would be really creepy." I said with a small smile. He nodded, "True, true. But is that why you're a little upset?" His face turned to worry. "A little? I'm just overreacting. I mean, I did just meet him yesterday." I said. He nodded. "I get it." He said. Yeah right. He totally gets it. He doesn't know the pain I have to go through. How the hell is he supposed to know the pain I go through? Every time I fall for someone they're either taken or straight or... something! I don't know, just... something! "No, Minho, you don't get it. You get a new girlfriend every month, then there's me. I, unfortunately, get one boyfriend every 5 years or something. So don't start with 'I understand' cause you don't. Then I stood up and walked out of the diner. (A/n DRAMA! Kidding, I honestly don't know... XD)

I knew that I overreacted but it's a tough subject. I hate when people say they "understand" when they don't. They don't and never will understand. Its just something me and a few others has to go through. And it sucks. I've kinda been like this my whole life. For example, I found out I was gay when I was 10, and fell in love with my first friend, Josh. Josh found out that I was gay and had a thing for him and stopped hanging with me. In fact, he told his parents and they made him move schools. And then I met Minho who was cool with it and tried to help me but, look where that got us. Just another fight... 

I didn't exactly know where I was going since I didn't feel like going to school and I couldn't go home or my mom would literally kill me. So, I headed to the park down the other side of the street of my house. The walk was short but was nice and peaceful and that's what matters most to me. 

When I finally got there, I went to a tree and sat down. I reached for my bag to get some homework done, but I didn't feel it. DANGIT! I left it at the diner! I facepalmed. I now have nothing to do. I didn't have a phone yet so, I couldn't do whatever people do on their phones. Should I just go to school? Nah, Minho will be there and ask what was wrong and stuff. And that honestly did not sound fun. 

I just sat there in silence, probably looking like a hobo when my mind went to Newt. I hated myself for thinking of him, but I honestly couldn't stop. I thought about his beautiful, fluffy blond hair, his chocolate, brown eyes, the small, cute freckles he had on his nose, his sharp jawline, his cute British accent. Everything about him made me smile. I wish he was mine... I just accepted the fact that I liked him even if it was mainly cause I thought he was cute and that he was British. I didn't know him, and the more I thought about it, the more shallow I thought I was. Well, at this point, I'm desperate to have someone. My last boyfriend cheated on me with my cousin. Those family reunions were awkward.. all I'm gonna say is, we don't talk anymore. Well, not as much as we used to. I'll admit, I was pretty hurt since she was my favorite cousin. We were the closest out of the whole family, but know I kind of hate her. I don't know why she did it, but she did, and now I try to get out of any family reunion we have.

Anyway, I just kept thinking about him, and at least 10 minutes went by with me just sitting there by myself when I saw Minho jog over. 

"Hey man, why'd you leave? Was it something I did? Also, you forgot your backpack," he said, handing me my backpack and sitting next to me. "I just- I get really upset when people say they understand what I go through when it's obvious they don't. When you said 'I understand' I just got upset because you have a new girlfriend every month and then there's me, and I have a new boyfriend every 4 or 5 years. It just... bothers me." I said, letting out a deep breath that I didn't even know I was holding. He nodded, "Oh, okay. I want to say I get that, but the truth is I don't." He laughed a little, causing me to smile. "Thanks, and, I'm sorry I kinda yelled." I said, "It's alright." And then we were silent... again. Why are we now so awkward around each other? (A/n No they are not going to date! Sorry if that's what you're into??? I mean, I don't think you would since you're reading a Newtmas book... On with the story!) That's when Minho broke the silence, "Do you want to hang out later today?" He asked. I smiled. We haven't hung out in years. "Yeah! Sounds good!" I said. "Great! Ill text you when and where, okay? Also, I might bring Newt." He said with a devilish grin. "I hate you." I said, "You love me!" He teased. That's when I remembered. "Dude! We have school!" I almost yelled. "CRAP! I cant fail this year! Come on, dude!" He said and he started running. I knew I didn't want to go to school earlier, but now I'm strangely feeling up to it.

THE END! For now... SO! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I uh... don't know where this story is honestly going and uhh.... yeah! Also, I WROTE A LONG CHAPTER!! Hope you guys are happy I may start a Lams book so if you are also interested in Lams, I will start writing it! Its based off of a one-shot I once read, and I can't remember what it was called! Anyway, I want you guys to know (If you do read it) It's not my original idea and I'm just adding on to the one-shot since it left me on a cliffhanger. Anyway, I think that's all I really have to say... But look! They finally left the diner! After what, 5 chapters? XD I was too lazy to write 2 chapters for them to be at the diner for their second time. Anywho! Hope you all enjoyed! Don't forget to vote! Now I sound like a youtuber... yay! LOL, Okay, I'm gonna go because I'm getting annoying! But! I also might write a diary type book? Anyways, I love you all my lovely, little turtles, and I will see you in the next chapter of...
