The Maze Runner Imagines: Newt (Thomas Brodie Sangster) Book 2

Hidding P2

I sat doing some marking while the kids worked chatting among themselves as usual.

"Mr Newton," a voice asked making me glance up

"Yes, Peter?"

"I heard a rumour today" Sam laughed beside him

"Ohh? Keep me in the loop then boys"

"We headed a rumour about you Mr. Newton" Peter laughed

"Ohh what about me?"

"That you're dating Miss y/l/n, in the English department" Sam smirked

"Is it true?" Peter asked and the whole class perked up

"Question seven isn't going to answer itself boys," I told them going back to my marking not like I could give them an answer even if part of me wanted too, but we'd be in big trouble if anyone found out about us if I didn't like having to hide our relationship I'd love to be able to snuggle her in my classroom Inna free period or walk down the halls holding her hand but we and to keep hidden for the sake of our jobs.

Once class was over and they all emptied out I finished off some admin and paperwork making sure the kids were all gone home by now as the busses and parents blocked the roads up of not, I got up locking up my computer and my desk grabbing my stuff and headed out leaving the classroom unlocked for the cleaners I headed out signing out at the office

"See you on Monday Isaac"

"See ya Rachel" I waved before heading out to the car park throwing my stuff on the backseats and driving my car out the car park turning the corner and heading down the street stopping in the car park next door for the sports centre attached to the school, even though it was attached it's a private business and off school grounds, I know I researched this shit. I parked up and waited in the space until I saw her having walked from the office herself bag in hand she climbed into the car and threw her stuff in the back too

"Hi Newt"

"Hi y/n" I smiled pulling her into a kiss She happily kissed back and we honestly sat passionately kissing for a good few minutes till we pulled away "Home?"

"Home" she smiled nuzzling into my arm so I started the car up and we headed home, She got working on dinner and I did a load of laundry, We had our dinner and after I finished up the dishes I noticed her on her laptop so I snuck behind her checking what she was up to and when I saw I snapped her laptop down "Hey! Newt" she complained 

"No." I told her giving her a cuddle "Remember what we talked about? work-life balance?"

"Yes..."

"we said when the bell goes we go? that's it no more work."

"I know but-"

"Y/n. Stop worrying" I told her "You're the best one in the English department you have nothing to worry about"

"Easy for you to say, they can't get rid of you. you're the only person in the whole school who can actually teach the stuff in the back of the physics textbooks without just reading it" 

"Love, I teach theoretical physic's if anyone is useless it's me." I laughed "Noone even takes my class because they know it all theory, at least in the other science classes you get to set fires and mix chemicals, Hell even in normal physics you get too muck around with stuff" I explained "Everyone loves your classes, because you're the only person in the English department that seems to understand kids wanna read books published after 1945" 

"True, You know Erica is getting her advanced class doing their exam on the golem" 

"Oh my god... those poor poor kids"

"I know"

"What are you making them do?"

"The Silmarillion"

"Ooohh"

"I know should be good"

"I kinda wanna read their papers too"

"I'm sure you will" she chuckled "I wanted to do Good Omens because I thought it would make some really interesting papers but the exam board says the cut-off is 1980 so I'm not allowed"

"Awww I was looking forward to reading those"

"Me too, plus its nice these advanced kids are overworked as hell as it is, I wanted to give them something with a tv or film adaptation so they can at least mildly cheat"

"but exam board said no"

"Exam board said super no, No media adaptations allowed and has to be published before 1980" 

"1980 is the cut-off? I thought Sarah was doing Handmaid's tale?"

"She was, now she can't. Plus the exam board said she couldn't do Handmaid's Tale because it's 'not appropriate"

"For the advanced class?"

"Yep"

"They do know these kids are seventeen right?"

"Sometimes I wonder if they do, I'm just nervous is all I mean half the maths department is gone after there review, and the ones who kept there jobs now have classes three times the size to contend with"

"I know, but try not to bring it home okay?"

"Okay" she smiled 

"so what do you wanna do this weekend?"

"Take away, puzzles, wine and true crime shows?"

"Ummm I love you"

"I love you too"
