New Girl

Thomas walked into Homeroom a few minutes tardy to the buzz of excitement and a group of people gathered around a desk.

Thomas sat down and chuck excitedly pointed to the group of people. "New kid," he informed. "Two in two weeks, that's crazy."

Thomas nodded, then the crowd of people dispersed and Thomas got a good look at the new kid.

His heart stopped. She looked vaguely familiar, her long dark hair framing her pale face. Her mouth twisted into a surprised 'O' as they made eye contact. "Tom?"

"Do you really not remember me?" Asked the new girl, jogging to catch up with Thomas and chuck on the way to lunch.

"Um, no..." Thomas said. "I mean, you look familiar... but I don't remember you."

She stared at him with unsettling blue eyes.

"Teresa. Teresa Agnes, former next door neighbor, I used to have major crush on you, we used to pretend we were telepathic," she said trying to jog his memory.

Some distant fuzzy memory clicked in his mind and he smiled "oh yeah."

"Yeah," she said, smiling happily. She followed Thomas through to their lunch table and plopped down. chuck raised his eyebrows and Thomas gave a tiny shrug.

A few moments later, Brenda slammed her tray next to Thomas. She sat very close to him and smiled at Teresa, who returned it tentatively. Minho and Newt were close behind her, taking seats across from them.

"So Tom," Brenda said, "who's your new little friend?" she nodded at Teresa.

"Uh, this is Teresa, old neighbour," he explained distractedly. Thomas wanted to pay attention to the two girls, but his eye had caught on a cut that was on Newt's cheek.

"Hi," Teresa gave a small wave.

Minho looked like this was the best day ever. There was a slight tension between the two girls on either side of Thomas, and Minho seemed to find it very amusing.

However, Thomas's thoughts were elsewhere. He tried not to stare, but he kept glancing at Newt.

"You can touch my hair if you want Tommy, I won't mind," newt finally spoke with a smirk.

Minho and Brenda snorted in laughter while Thomas blushed and Teresa and Chuck looked confused.

"Oh, what?" Thomas said, feeling embarrassed. "Maybe later," he laughed awkwardly.

Newt winked.

"Dude, Everyone is staring at us," Chuck said after a few moments of awkward chewing.

"Correction," Minho said. "Everyone is staring at Thomas."

"Why?" asked Teresa.

"Well Tommy here took down a Griever single-handedly," Thomas said, throwing a glance to the boy, which made Thomas remember the night vividly.

"YOU DID WHAT?" chuck said loudly.

"Shh, chuck, it's not that big of a deal."

"Uh, yeah it is," chuck insisted, in awe of the older boy.

"It's fine," Thomas brushed it off.

"He saved two shanks that he barely knew."

"Wow," chuck said.

"It was nothing really."

Luckily for Thomas, who was tired of this conversation, the bell rung.
