(Thomas POV)

There's nine of us-me,Newt,Minho,Gally,Winston,Teresa,Brenda,Sonya and Harriet. We're probably the best group you could ever have. We go to Glade high and this is our story. From the start to the end..

It's a Sunday,I don't have much homework so we go out to the beach. We bring a picnic blanket and eat fresh fish and chips whilst the seagulls swarm above us.
"Where's Harriet?" Newt asks. As he curls up next to his girlfriend Sonya.
"Homework," Minho replies "She has this huge project,"
"Disappointed are we Minho?" I ask mockingly.
"Shut up!" He snaps back.

I laugh slightly and lie on the sand and twist my head to see Teresa and Sonya,chatting. I can't keep my eyes off Teresa,she's so beautiful,you don't get tired of looking at her. She's just so perfect and I've been in love with her forever, no one knows, and it's staying that way and let me just say and I am one hundred million gazillion percent sure that I am the most friendzoned guy in the world.

"Guys the water is amazing!" Winston says running to us. Followed by Gally and Brenda "Come on!"
"I don't know..." I begin.
"Come on Tom!" Teresa says,grabbing my hand and dragging me with her. I'm wearing swim shirts so I just throw my shirt in the ground and crash into the sea. It's so unbelievably warm it's perfect. I just stay there,supported by the water as my hands bob above to the top of the water, the others splash each other but I'm too distracted,just staring into a blur,thinking about Teresa. I'm too distracted by thoughts when someone jumps onto my back,wrapping their legs round my waist. I jump and flip round quickly but to see Teresa, smiling at me.

"Have some fun!" She says,splashing water in my face "We've got school tomorrow and you'll regret it for sure,"
"Fine," I sigh as I begin slashing her,she does the same. Laughing out loud. I swear,I've never seen someone that happy and beautiful. Love doesn't last like those soppy love stories. Not for me anyway or anyone who's living in the real world. But sometimes looking at her it makes me feel like love is there and it's all going to work out in the end.

(Newt POV)

Well to be honest,my friends were the best things in the universe. The thing that got me through everything,they all know about me. You see I used to be a little messed up,but I'm not know. I did attempt death once,but it didn't work. My friends were all supportive,and I love them so much. When I first started high school,it wasn't going to be good in my opinion. But it changed after we all got together. Our group was perfect,we were all different in our very own ways but that's a good thing. And it's not how it is in the television shows. It's better than that. And the other thing is,it's not cheesy love. No one is this group has ever dated anyone else here. Maybe it's because they're worried it wouldn't make out then the whole group would fall apart,or that they'd have to sneak about and they wouldn't been comfortable with it.

I never really been in love before,I never really knew how I felt about anything. But that's just who I am. Who we all are,teenagers.

Like a family.
