♣Newt's POV♣

*One day later*

Luckily I didn't have to go into school until eleven, because I was shattered.

I didn't get any sleep last night, not that I normally do anyway, but just last night was for a different reason.

Instead of sitting up worrying about things until I fell asleep. I was thinking about Thomas. That sounds so sickening and gross. But we're friends, I think so anyway.

Walking into school I notice Thomas stood at the gates with some friends. They're all laughing. I try to calm my thoughts of thinking they could be laughing at me. I give him a small smile but prepare myself to walk straight past him, but he calls me over.

"Hey again," He says smiling.

"Hey," I reply.

"Tom, are you going to introduce us to your friend?" A dark haired girl, probably around my age says.

"Teresa, Newt." Thomas says motioning between me and Teresa. "Newt, Teresa,"

I don't say anything, I just give her a small smile.

"I'll just introduce myself then shall I?" Someone scoffs. "I'm Minho," the guy says and offers me his hand to shake.

I shake it.

"Er, Newt," I say.

"Wait, you're in my maths class right?" Minho says confused.

"Erm, yep, that's me," I say with a chuckle.

"You're the year twelve retaker right?" Minho says and gains a knock in the ribs from Thomas.

"Yeah..." I say awkwardly. "I'd love to have a conversation on how I'm an idiot and have to retake a year,but I have a class to get to," I say and excuse myself from those bunch of idiot's, excluding Thomas of course, because he's okay.

"Newt," "Wait up a sec," I hear Thomas call from behind me,

I stop and allow him to catch up with me, god knows why. I should of just kept walking.

"I've finished for today, er, what time do you finish, do you want to like, erm, er, hang out or something?" He says coughing awkwardly.

"Four. I finish at four,"

"I'll meet you here at four then?" Thomas says.

"Okay,"

*5 hours later*

I wait for Thomas at the gate but he doesn't turn up. After waiting twenty minutes I give up and walk home.

When I get home I grab a coke from the fridge and sit on the sofa next to Gally.

"That Tim kid called for you earlier?" He said not taking his eyes off the TV screen.

" You mean Thomas?" I reply taking a sip from my can.

"Yeah, that's it! He called asking for you so I gave him your mobile number," He says shrugging.

I pull out my phone from my pocket.

*5 New Messages*

I gather that's it's obviously Thomas' number so save it in my phone as "Thomas"

I scroll through the messages to see what he said.

Thomas; I'm really sorry Newt, I'm stuck looking after my step brother Chuck so I can't come :(
