Newt though that today was going to be a great day, unfortunately it wasn't since today the busiest day in his agenda and a new kid decided to move from Denver and take classes in the SHS, bloody great isn't it, thanks to this new kiddo now he had to fill lots of paperwork, but that's what he gets for being the president of the student council.
"Hey Newt" Teresa called from the distance.
"What's up Teresa" Newt answered a little skeptical, maybe it wasn't going to be such a bad day after all.
"Ready for Literature bookworm?" Asked Teresa.
"As much as I'll ever be brain breaker" Answered Newt.
"I see you're stressed what happened?"
"We're having a new student, and that just means trouble to me" Stated Newt " What if he's a douchebag or worse a trouble maker"
"Why so negative Newt? Maybe he's a nice guy" Said Teresa a little confused, cause she didn't understand why Newt was so mad and paranoid about the fact that Thomas was entering the SHS.
"I really don't care if he's a good guy or not T, now I'll have to work to death since I need to create a bloody expedient about this guy" Said Newt with his deep British accent.
"You've seen worse, it can't be that hard Newtie"
"Don't call me Newtie, Teresa and believe when I say that there's nothing worse than creating an expedient" Said Newt a little annoyed, cause nobody seemed to get the fact that he's going to have to work to death thanks to that shucking new student.
"Sorry Newt, I didn't knew" Said Teresa.
"It's fine, as long as I don't meet with this shank, I'll be fine" Offered Newt with one of his bright smiles, which was obviously fake since he forgot how to smile thanks to the bloody accident.
"Hurry up Newt we have Literature" Teresa took Newt's hand as she started running to the classroom 103.
"Bloody Hell Teresa!" Screamed Newt in pain.
"Oh crap I forgot about your leg" Said Teresa.
"Just don't do it again" Newt started walking to the classroom, hoping that the limp isn't that obvious.
"Newt did you read the book?" Asked Teresa.
"Don't tell me you didn't" Newt almost face palmed at that.
"I obviously read, that's why I'm asking" Said Teresa sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
"Really Teresa, again?" Asked Newt as they entered the classroom.
"It's just that it was so boring that I fell asleep" Teresa rubbed the back of her neck.
"Were did you exactly fell asleep?" Asked Newt.
"When this guy, wakes up with no memories" Offered Teresa
"That was the beginning, you're doomed T cause the old lady has just entered the classroom" A real laugh escaped from Newt lips, something no one had heard in months.
"You just laughed Newt" Teresa couldn't help but smile, her bestie was happy, she couldn't still believe it, he had been kind of gloomy and unstable since that day but right now he looked like the old Newt.
"Thanks T, I really needed that" Newt hugged Teresa while some tears started falling from his eyes.
"Newt, Are you fine? I heard you screaming" Teresa said as she stormed into Newt's office. "Is that Thomas? Can someone explain to me what just happened"
"Well our friend Thomas, thought it was a good idea to piss off Newtie by calling him blonde, he even gave Newt permission to kick the hell out of him" Said Minho "In his defense Newt may not look like it but he's deadly"
"Newt! What did I told you about hitting strangers?" Teased Teresa
"That I need to learn to control my temper and that violence isn't the answer?" Offered Newt with puppy eyes.
"And what did you did?" Asked Teresa.
"I kicked a bloody stranger and probably broke his nose?" Said Newt not daring to look at Teresa.
"There's something more in there, why did he calling you blonde made you mad?" Questioned Teresa.
"Because that's how he called me Teresa, now get out I have to finish the paperwork before my shift at work starts" Said Newt angrily.
"I didn't knew Newt"
"Just go" Was all Newt said before returning to his workplace.
"Newt I'm sorry, I..."
"I told you to leave! Minho get that shank to the nursery!" Snapped out Newt.
"Fine" Mumbled Teresa.
"That was rude Newt" With that Minho started carrying Thomas over his shoulder.
Teresa didn't understood why did Newt snapped out at her, all she did was ask what happened and why did the fact that Thomas called him blonde made him so mad, she knew he was stressed but that wasn't enough excuse to kick his cousin in the face and the snap at her, there was something odd, something Newt wasn't telling, what memories were attached to that pet name and what did they meant to Newt were a mystery for other day, cause she had to find a way to stop a war between Newt and Thomas.
"Teresa wait, I can't run and carry Thomas at the same time" Screamed Minho.
"You sure wonder boy?" Teased Teresa.
"Just slow down, please"
"Fine, but I need you to help me understand what does blonde mean to Newt?" Asked Teresa while arching an eyebrow.
"I'm afraid that's a question I can't answer, but when the time comes he'll tell you, don't worry Teresa" Said Minho, it may or may not came harsher than he intended." He'll get over it soon, I hope"
After that they walked all the way to infirmary silently not daring to look at each other, truth to be told Minho was afraid of letting the truth slip since he tends to talk more than needed, and Teresa was afraid of hearing the truth, she knew that what happened months ago was hard for Newt but she never expected it to change Newt so much, he's so dark, almost emotionless, sometimes she feels like she doesn't know him anymore.
"We're here, thanks Minho" He took that as he queue to leave since his job was done.
"I'm sorry if I was little harsh, earlier today, it's just that it also awakes bad memories for me" Said Minho.
"It's okay, if you need someone to talk I'll be there for you" Minho hugged her while he began crying.
"Thanks Teresa, no one had been so nice to me since him"
"That's what friends do, don't they?" Reluctantly Teresa Answered
Minho couldn't help himself, he needed to talk out his feelings, he couldn't bare the way his heart ached, the way the flashbacks came and the way it would broke him"Teresa I'm tired of being strong, I do it for Newt but it's so hard, I miss him to, but Newt can't see me cry it would only make things harder"
"Minho, everything is going to be fine, I promise I won't leave you" Teresa never realized how much did the accident affected Minho, he never cried, nor did smiled, he was just emotionless and now Teresa understood everything he was being strong for Newt, he was being the best friend Newt could ever need, something she could never be.
"Thanks Teresa"Minho stopped crying, he felt peaceful for the first time since the accident, he felt like everything was right, and everything thanks to Teresa.
"I'm the one who should be thanking you Minho, for being everything I'll never be for Newt, I love him as a brother but I am not a good person Minho, I can't act selfless, I'm just a rotten and broken girl" Said Teresa, crying, breaking down all her wall, showing her real self.
"Teresa, you've helped Newt as much as I, and don't you dare to say that again, you're a magnificent person, you've saved Newt more times than I, you've talked him out of suicide, and there's no way I'll ever be able to pay that debt" Minho stopped thinking, he just leaned to closer until...
When Thomas woke up he found himself in the infirmary, it was around seven o'clock or at least that was what Thomas thought since it was already dark.
"You're finally awake kiddo, for a moment I thought you were dead" The Nurse laughed and Thomas just moaned, the moment he remembered the fact that a skinny blonde knocked him out.
"How did I got here?" Asked Thomas.
"An asian looking guy and his girlfriend brought here" Thomas didn't knew that Minho had a girlfriend, he better ask him about her "Oh and the boy told me that you should call Teresa when you wake up, cause she was worried or something between those lines.
"Thanks Beth?"
"No problem, did a bully picked you up?"
"No actually I kinda pissed off this blonde, and the last thing that I remember was fist punching me" Thomas scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Newt may not look like it, but when he's pissed he can be as lethal as a python"
"Do I wanna know how do you know this?" Asked Thomas, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Not a long ago he defeated a whole gang of bullies all by himself, those kids had tons of broken bones, no one has heard about them since then, some they they moved to another school, others say that Newt killed them in their sleep, but the truth is that they're still in the hospital"
"Thanks for the information, guess I'll try to avoid him.
He left the nursery, and dialed Teresa's number, he knew he had to do it sooner or later and Thomas prefer sooner.
"Hey Teresa"
"Thomas I'm so going to kill you, when you get home"
"I'm sorry, I didn't knew that this was going to happen, honestly I doubted he even knew how to fight"
"Just don't do it again, okey?"
"Fine"
"And if Aunt Ava asks, you and Minho were at the cinema"
"Thanks for covering me Teresa"
"No problem"
"T, did you knew that Minho had a girlfriend?"
"Wait what?"
"Yeah, that was what the nurse told"
"Thomas I gotta go, bye"
Thomas didn't understood the sudden mood swing, when Thomas said that Minho had a girlfriend, but he knew that there a things that better remain as a mystery. Thomas wanted to talk to someone about his crappy day, and about the cute blonde, wait what?, that blonde was everything but cute, he was a demon, a nightmare dressed like a daydream, no he isn't a daydream, Thomas really needs someone to help hi. Figure out what's happening to him, maybe he can talk to the librarian since Teresa said that he could talk with the librarian since he was a really good listener.
Surprisingly for Thomas the walk to the library was fast, but he couldn't care less since he was meeting this mysterious friend of Teresa, maybe they could be best friends, since what Thomas needed the most was a some who would listen and help him heal. For Thomas surprise there was no one in the library, weird Thomas thought.
"Hello? Is there anyone here!" Screamed Thomas at the top of lungs.
"Coming" A voice answered, a voice that seemed slightly familiar to Thomas.
Thomas wasn't expecting that the librarian, Teresa's friends, would end up being, Newt the person who messed up his day, there were two options, to leave or to try and work out things with the blonde. "I guess you're the librarian"
"No shit Sherlock" Said Newt, as he rolled his eyes. "What do you want?"
"Teresa said you're a good listener"
"Indeed I am" Newt started walking closer to Thomas, he was quite curious about the brunette, why would Teresa send him here after what happened earlier today, maybe she wanted them to work out their differences, Newt wasn't quite sure, but he was going to do what he taught him, to help whoever needs it, friend or foe.
"You think, you can help me?" Asked Thomas even though he didn't trusted the blonde, Teresa did, maybe he should give him a second chance, what could possibly go wrong?
"It depends on you, greenie"
"Thomas, that's my name, so call me Thomas" Thomas' voice echoes trough the library.
"Sorry, but I don't feel like it, greenie" Newt couldn't suppress his laughter, it's just that he found amusing how easily he could piss of Thomas. "Fine I'll call you Thomas as long as you don't call me blonde"
"I guess I won't call you blonde then, Newt" Said Thomas with a big grin, he also felt something in his insides while hearing Newt's laughter, but he couldn't understand what was it.
"Are you going to talk or what?" Asked Newt, with an eyebrow lifted.
"I guess I'll begin by talking about this annoying blonde, who kicked the hell out of me earlier today"
"I bet he was bloody handsome, wasn't he?"
"Nah, he was an arrogant brat, not my type" That comment made Newt laugh for the second in the night, Newt could see a lot of him in Thomas.
"If I ever meet him, I'll kick him for you" Thomas laughed at this, maybe Newt wasn't as bad as he guessed.
"Also I kissed Aris, he say it was okey cause he was in an open relationship, it was amazing, he's quite a good kisser. Did you knew?" Said Thomas while touching his lips.
"How could I possibly know that?"
" It was a rhetorical question, duh" Newt just rolled his eyes at this "Though there's something bothering me about the kiss, it felt really good I'm not gonna lie but still it felt wrong, it felt kinda dirty"
"I'm going to tell two things first you must do whatever your heart tells you, if it tells you it's wrong then don't do it again and second I know him and his boyfriend, from experience I can tell that their relationship is not open at all" Newt's voice dropped and some tears began to fall.
"I suppose I'm not the only one with a story to tell" Teased Thomas.
"Leave me alone, please"Pleaded Newt.
Whoa, Thomas was confused what did he said to made the blonde like this."Newt if I said something that..."
"I told you to leave!" Said Newt with the same emotionless face he used to wear, whenever he was afraid of his emotions and didn't wanted to let people see him as weak as he truly is.
"You said you were going to help, and believe this isn't helping at all" Thomas didn't understood how Newt could go from a nice person to a complete douchebag.
"Just leave Thomas!"
"Fine" Thomas scowled.
Thomas was glad that it was finally Friday, his first week at the SHS had been exhausting thanks to a certain blonde, who decided it was a good idea to leave the hardest jobs in The Maze to Thomas, he hated him so much for that, but he was the president and he couldn't leave cause Thomas knew that leaving would mean crushing Minho's heart. "Thomas, I was thinking that maybe we can actually go to the cinema this time"
"Sorry Minho, but Teresa forced me to study Spanish after school, maybe tomorrow" Thomas said, not mentioning the fact that he actually wanted to learn Spanish and that Teresa didn't forced him.
"Fine, by the way you'll love Jorge" They parted ways Minho was going to the track, while Thomas started walking to the classroom number 123.
He was expecting lots of things from the class, but no this, not Newt, why the heck he was here. "What are you doing here?"
"Jorge is sick, so I'm giving the class"Newt said nonchalantly.
"I can't picture you talking Spanish, it just seems a little bit odd?" Thomas couldn't help but laugh at the mental picture of Newt speaking Spanish.
"Eres un idiota" Said Newt, fluently and with a perfect latin accent.
"Whoa, did you just called me an idiot in Spanish?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no, who knows?"Newt wiggled his eyebrows, making Thomas really confused.
"I hope I knew another language so I could insult you too" Thomas pouted.
"Guess I won this time" Said Newt with a cocky grin.
"This isn't over, cause if war is what you want, I'll give you war" Said Thomas in a competitive attitude.
"Good That" Was all Newt said before beginning the class.
"You gotta be kidding" Thomas groaned.
"Are you stalking me or something Thomas?" Asked Newt.
"I shall ask you the same question, blonde."
"I have been here longer than you greenie, everybody knows that I come to this coffee shop everyday after school, heck they even know what I order" Newt glared at Thomas.
"I'm going to take a shot and say that you order tea?" Teased Thomas.
"You really go for stereotypes, don't you?" Asked Newt.
"Nah, I was just kidding" Answered Thomas. "So what are you ordering?"
"A venti sized fresh filter coffee and two double chocolate chunk brownie."
"Anything else?" Asked Thomas.
"That's it" Newt replied. "How much is it?"
"Just $5 dollars" Newt gave Thomas a 5 dollar bill and patiently waited for his order, which was given to him faster than usual.
"I gotta admit, that you are bloody good at your job, I may consider you for the secretary vacant" Newt winked at Thomas.
"Guess it can't be worse that my actual work at the council" Said Thomas "It's better right?"
"Totally, and on the bright side it might piss off Gally, he has been bitching me to give him the charge" Said Newt with a dark smile and an evil gleam in his dark chocolate eyes.
"That's a win-win situation."
"Totally, by the way I'm totally winning our little war" Said Newt with a bright smile.
"In your dreams, blonde."
"I may be merciful if you give up, greenie" After saying that Newt left leaving, a scared and confused Thomas behind, he still couldn't understand how could someone go from friendly and likable to dark and hateful.
Thomas was in his room when he heard the doorbell ring, and since he had the closest room to the door, he decided to answer the door, and there he was, his frenemy, Newt, out of everyone it had to be him, what a lucky person was Thomas, wasn't he?
"What are you doing here?" Asked Newt, drily.
"I live here?"Thomas offered, maybe a little more sarcastically than he intended.
"I don't know, how I didn't saw it before, it was quite obvious now that you think..."
"I want to know what you're doing at my house at ten o'clock!" Thomas interrupted Newt, since he was not interested in seeing the blonde during the weekend.
"I came to see my boyfriend, I thought you were a smart guy Thomas"
"Out of all the people Aris knows, it had to be you, how amazing" Thomas said sarcastically and Newt just rolled his eyes.
"Well, it's a small world after all, don't you think Tommy?" Said Newt, with a sweet voice, one that Thomas never heard, one that seemed peaceful and joyful.
"Wait did you just called me Tommy?"
"No I didn't" Newt said nervously, with a small blush.
"Yes you did"
"No I didn't!"
"I totally heard you calling me Tommy"
"I said dummy, you dork!" Said Newt angrily.
"Are we already in the part were we call each other by pet names?" Teased Thomas"First Tommy, then dummy and now dork."
"Shut up!" Newt shoved away Thomas and made his way to Aris' room.
"I suppose they aren't sleeping at all, just hope they aren't too loud" Thomas said to himself.
