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

Seventeen P1

Requested: Can u make a AU story where it's high school and newt is a nerd and Y/n is popular but they end up together and it's cute and fluffy.

I tried desperately to get my head on straight given it was still dark outside and I maybe for three hours of sleep, I stood in the bathroom brushing my teeth while the shower heated up. Once it was warm enough I finished with my toothbrush and stripped off jumping in the shower Already hearing Sonya banging on the bathroom door I merely ignored her letting the heat of the water wash away my troubles turning up my speaker to drown her out.

"Uuuughhhhh! Newt!" She yelled but I just scrubbed away listening to my music "Mum! Newt's hogging the shower again!"

"I've told you, kids, a hundred times you each get ten minutes, you think water grows on trees? I don't wanna have to get a timer in there but I'm thinking about it!" She yelled from the kitchen

"I just got in here!" I argued

"Isaac finish your shower now and give it to your sister"

I sighed and finished up grabbing all the towels as I left heading out with my speaker in hand she was waiting outside the door tapping her foot she stuck her tongue out at me so I did it back, she then swore at me so as I headed down the corridor to my own room I put my middle finger up at her and she did it back, we kept one-upping each other like this until our mum came up the stairs between us and gave us both a look so she sheepishly went into the bathroom and I sheepishly went to my room. I got dry and dressed into my Converses, my brown cargo pants, my bright orange portal t-shirt and my white hoodie over the top, I shoved everything I needed for today off my desk and into my leather messenger bag and I headed downstairs hearing the shower still running. I arrived in the kitchen seeing orange juice and toast on the table for breakfast my dad sat with his paper and my mum was loading the dishwasher

"Sonya's still in the bathroom," I told her

"Will you too ever stop arguing?" My dad laughs

"No" I answered grabbing some toast "Right on off to the bus, by mum, by dad" I smiled giving my mum a kiss and my dad a hug

"Have a good day Isaac" my mum laughs

"I wanna see that physics paper when you get home" my dad reminded me before I left heading out to the front stoop where I hid from the rain waiting for the bus, Soon enough Sonya joined me in her pink dress. "You're gonna get dress-coded for that you know"

"Can for five minutes you just not open your mouth?" She says heading out

"Where are you going?"

"Walking to Teresa's"

"Why?"

"So the bus picks me up there"

"...why?"

"So people on our bus route don't know you're my brother," she says as she heads down the street towards Teresa's house she was only a few doors down, I just put my headphones in and waited Soon enough the bus arrived so I climbed on and as usual sat in an empty seat listening to my music, we picked up Sonya and Teresa her, of course, avoiding me like she didn't know me and we headed to school picking up everyone in the way, I waited to be the last off so I didn't have to fight the wave of people and headed to my locker,

Where I stood checking my schedule for the day grabbing the books and folders I would need for my first couple of classes

"Hey newt," Thomas smiled as he came to his own locker

"Hey, Tommy,"

"So you have it?" He asks

"Have what?"

"The answers to the quiz in biology?"

"I might" I answered "I don't do drop off till two, second-floor haunted bathroom"

"Come on man I need the answers before then, I've got the class third period and I was up all night with Teresa so I didn't study"

"Well supply and demand"

He rolled his eyes and opened his denim jacket grabbing five bucks held up and sneakily offered it to me I checked over my shoulder and snatched it off him putting it in my pocket and grabbing him the answers which I handed over

"Thanks, newt,"

"Thank you" I smirked and just then my watch went off and immediately I jumped excitedly shutting my locker and watching the doors as they arrived. 

The south side doors opened and in came the cheer team, They all wore their cheer uniform the little white platform sneakers, knee-high Light blue socks with a white stripe around the top, light blue pleated skirts most barely even reaching their thighs the insides of the pleats white, a small non-sleeve shirt in the same light blue with two white stripes making a point across their chest, and the school team logo. all of them have their bags and their hair in various styles.

Of course, everyone got out of their way, like royals splitting a sea of presents with their meer presence I stood in awe waiting as they passed us and I quickly turned to see her,

Y/n y/l/n, One of the 'bottom of the pyramid' cheerleaders stronger and bigger than the rest and there for less popular but still a cheerleader and still higher than anyone else, In her uniform her hair was in a long braid with a blue bow her books in hand following along with the group I sighed she looked so good, I'd give anything just to be able to hold her hand. 

"You are soo-"

"Don't say it" I snapped 

"Talk to her"

"Are you crazy?"

"I mean... jury's out on that one" he laughs as we head to class

"Look Tommy, you're still new around here but I guess you understand hierarchy right? And the cheer team is at the top of the hierarchy. They all date the jocks, there all beautiful, and one of them will be prom queen. They're our pink ladies, our plastics, Our heathers. there untouchable"

"Interesting how Heathers is your ultimate in that line"

"Dead girl walking is a banger and I will not hear your dishonour, Tommy"

"Fine, but I've been here two months and I'm dating Teresa"

"You got lucky, as the new kid you entered as a main character energy-neutral party and there could take any potential place in the chain. you are the sandy or the cady of this situation. I... I am treasurer of the chess club and head of the calculus team I am so low on this totem pole I may as well be in the dirt, I wouldn't even be a named character a backing extra if I'm lucky"

"You're never gonna get anywhere with a mindset like that, put some effort in kick yourself in the butt and rise"

"That's not possible"

"Sure it is, ...uhhhh Hu! Veronica Sawyer" he says as we sit in class

"Okay yes. But that involved a lot of betraying murder and madness." I explained "And my face is not already able to be split by a meat cleaver and have perfectly matching halves. and that's very important to be Veronica Sawyer" 

"I'll be honest I've used up all my knowledge, I'm assuming all of that was references?"

"You're in theatre club Tommy"

"Yeah, we've just been doing Le Mis songs since I got here" 

"cheap bloody theatre club we've done Le mis four times. I wish there was some way I could talk to her, maybe someday"
