Thomas Parker is a normal high school student who spends most of his time obsessing over his big high school crush Newton Stacy and saving the world from trouble. Oh wait what? Did I say saving the world?

Newt hated social interaction, and he'd never really been the one to say much. Thomas was outspoken and would talk whenever he pleased. Their sarcasm was one of the few things they had in common when they first crossed each other. They never attended the same school, and they'd never have met if it weren't for Newt being at a game he wasn't going to show up at. But they did meet, and it all seemed to have a natural flow of things until the end. An end, however, always needs a beginning. This story is fiction made up by me, any resemblance to real life events are unintentional. Newt and Thomas are not my own characters. They belong to James Dashner.

"I take back every nice thing I ever said to you," I said. My head fell to the table with a thud. "Sorry, I have a no-return policy," Newt replied. "All of your sweet-nothing's have already been stored in the bank." "I'll burn the bank down." The table muffled my words. "I'll sue you for more sweet-nothings." I rolled my eyes, too tired to reply. Newt leaned back in his seat and took a sip of his chocolate milk. We were quiet for a moment until he spoke up again. "You'll be hearing from my lawyer," he muttered coyly with a smile. // Newt Lahey is known for his absolutely horrible luck. It's a curious thing, because he's also the friendliest, most patient, kind kid in the senior class. Everyone knows he's happy, even if they can't understand why under his circumstances. Thomas Freehold used to be popular. He took a major fall when he cheated on his girlfriend, the most popular girl in the grade. Now, as most of the grade turns their back on him in disgust, he finds that there's really only one person who seems to forgive him for his mistakes, accept him for his faults. It sucks that that person is Newt Lahey, but Thomas isn't really in a position to be too greedy anymore. It's an odd friendship, blooming from odd circumstances. But somehow, miraculously, it works. As the two grow closer, in friendship and in love, Thomas learns a very important lesson: Not everything is as it seems. Newt, of course, is the prime example of that.
