Newt's first day

The lady made it sound like only smart people could get in but when Newt entered on his first day into the classroom full of strangers he quickly realized that had not quite been the case. Sat at the back of the classroom, surrounded by half the class, sat an asian boy. He looked athletic and held a basketball in his hand. Across the room sat other boys, one harbouring a cook book, and another building small houses from wooden blocks. No teacher. As Newt knocked on the open door the class quickly fell silent, all heads turning simultaneously to stare. He gulped and said in a mouse-like squeak, "I-I'm New-" he was cut off by some kid from another part of the classroom. "WE GOT OURSELVES A GREENIE" the kid yelled and then the class descended into chaos, whooping and cheering like maniacs. Newt stayed put in the doorway, looking down at his feet, wondering why he'd been brought here in the first place. Suddenly a hand clamped down on his bony shoulder, causing him to jump. He quickly looked up, almost whimpering as he saw the asian boy stood infront of him, beaming from ear to ear. "The name's Minho." he said, his voice crisp and sharp, but gentle at the same time. "Newt.." the younger boy replied, visually relaxing. "Well it's nice to meet ya, Newtie" Minho said cheerily, "place aint so bad once you get used to shanks like them" he nodded his head in the direction of the whooping lunatics which made Newt smile. He pushed his glasses up his nose, causing Minho to beam wider, which Newt was starting to think was impossible. "I think I'm gonna like you greenie" he said as the boys walked into the classroom together.
