THREE

newt couldn't stop thinking about the pretty boy who worked at the dreamy flower shop. he had never seen the brunette there before. maybe he had only just started working there.

the boy had treated newt so well... but why? surely he must have realised that newt was a south sider, his tattered leather jacket gave that away. or maybe he was just extremely dumb. yeah, that was probably it.

as soon as newt had driven back home and strode through the cracked front door, sonya greeted him with a huge hug. newt felt his lips twitch up as he ruffled his little sister's hair.

'hey sonny, how was school?' newt asked. he had driven straight to the flower shop after school so he didn't have a chance to talk to his little sister earlier. his teachers were stressing him out and he knew the homey feeling of the store would calm his negative emotions.

'it was great newtie, my teacher said that i would be moved up a class in maths as i'm so smart!' she exclaimed, obviously delighted about the situation. sonya was incredibly smart for her age, she got it from her mother as she used to be a scientist until she moved to the southside. she was fired when she moved, the company (which was called W.C.K.D) said they couldn't have such a monster working with them. newt thought that what they said was absolute rubbish and threatened to 'teach the managers, ava and jansen, a lesson' but of course his mum had stopped him. like she had always said when newt was a kid, violence wasn't the answer. the blonde admired his mum for that. she was so full of love, newt swore there wasn't even a tad bit of negativity in her.

after a few hours of chatting to his sister about her friend's drama and pretending to be interested (plus a delicious dinner cooked up by his mum), newt was in his bedroom with nirvana blasting through his cheap speakers.

the boy, thomas, was still on his mind. why was newt so interested in this random boy? he had never been interested in a guy like this before. hell, he had never even been interested in a girl like this before.

there was something about thomas that newt adored. maybe it was how his pastel sweater hung loosely on his body, or how he rocked back and forth on his heels while he was talking to newt, obviously a tad bit nervous. maybe it was how his eyes glistened a golden colour in the sun, or how his cute dimples showed when he smiled, or how his brown hair sat perfectly on top of his head.

the blonde just wanted to cuddle up with him and run his fingers through thomas' hair until he fell asleep watching an old romance movie.

newt suddenly snapped out of his trance when sonya was in front of him, clicking her small little fingers in front of his face. she chuckled at her brother, said goodnight and gave him a huge hug and a sloppy kiss on the cheek. newt complained and wiped his cheek on his sleeve with a disgusted look on his face.

when newt had said goodnight to his mum and sonya was out his room, newt started wondering about the handsome boy once again. newt groaned when he realised he had gained a tiny crush on the brunette.

of course he would never admit this to minho and any other south sider as once again, he needed to keep his reputation up. malicious south siders don't fall in love with the perfect north siders, that's not how it's meant to be.

but for some reason, newt felt as if he and thomas were meant to be.

A/N- chapter three is finally up! sorry that this chapter took a while. like i said, writers block hit me like a brick and i had no motivation to write another chapter so this might be absolutely terrible. sorry if it is! i tried my best! i will also try and make the chapters longer, i realised they were quite short! :) lots of love- jaime
