Newt feels himself well up in excitement. He blushes and his tail wags beneath the blanket. He's excited to be Thomas' mate.

~•~

Sunday passes and the two decided not to hangout. Newt still feels nervous about being Thomas' mate and figured a day apart may do some good, especially since school is starting up for him again. Monday rolls around the corner and Newt is standing in the mirror in his bathroom, trying to convince himself everything's going to be okay.

Not only has he mated with Thomas, but he's missed a bunch of school. He probably has a lot of homework to catch up on. Newt sighs before walking out of his bathroom and out the house. He takes the familiar path back to school, dreading the day ahead of him.

Each step he takes seems to drag behind him. His ears droop upsettingly and his tail remains limp behind him.

He walks for a bit before arriving to his own personal hell. He stands outside of the school, holding back an irritated groan. Other students pass him, turning their heads and watching him stand outside the school. They whisper to each other about Newt, causing the omega to let out a soft growl.

They walk away, leaving him alone outside. Newt lets out a sigh before finding the courage to enter the school. One foot after the other, he enters the large building. Students eyes follow him as he walks to his locker.

Newt tries to ignore their stares, but his ears can't help but twitch in different directions to see if he can hear anyone whispering about him.

Bloody Thomas, Newt thinks to himself. Why did Thomas have to be a popular alpha? No one would've cared about Newt if he got with a beta or something. All of a sudden he's the centre of attention and everyone wants to talk about him.

He turns the corner and spots Thomas standing at his locker with Minho. His heartbeat rises as he grows nervous, yet his tail can't help but sway happily as he sees his mate. Thomas seems to match his energy, smiling at him shyly.

"Hey Newt," Thomas smiles as Newt approaches his locker. He steps out of the way so his omega can grab the binders and books he needs.

"Hi Thomas," he says quietly. Last time he was at school, him and Thomas did the deed. It's weird being back at the place that Thomas made a living hell.

Minho stands off to the side, smiling kindly. When Newt turns to look at Minho, their eyes lock and the beta ducks his head respectfully, as if Newt were an alpha.

The omegas heartbeat rises, surprised at the small gesture. Minho looks back up, keeping the same smile on his face. Newt blushes and smiles back, not sure how to totally react.

Newt grabs the binders and books that he needs before shutting his locker. A familiar alpha scent starts growing closer.

He turns his head to see Gally walking by with his dumb beta followers, all of them staring at Newt in disgust. He hears Thomas let out a warning growl and steps closer to his mate.

Newt watches as Gally's eyes look him up and down, suggestively. Thomas catches the look and suddenly slams his hand against the locker, by Newt's head, causing the omega to flinch, even though Thomas means it in a protective way.

He shields Newt and growls louder at Gally, protectively. Newt's heart beats heavily against his chest. He's been at school for less than five minutes and there's already problems.

Minho steps up a bit, growling as well, willing to protect his alpha and the mate.

"Relax Thomas, I don't want your fag boyfriend," he sneers as he keeps walking. All the betas snicker as they walk past and follow their leader.

Thomas' eyes flash red and he's quick to try to lunge at Gally as he walks away, but instead he's met with Newt. The omega grabs his bicep, digging his fingers into it.

Thomas stops in his tracks and looks down at Newt's hand before looking up into his eyes. Newt watches how they then flash a different shade of red at him, a deeper one. One that reminds Newt of comfort, not anger.

"Just leave it Thomas, it's fine. I just want to get through today without any bloody problems," Newt says seriously. Surprisingly, Thomas agrees. His shoulders relax and he loses all tension in his body.

"Yeah! Listen to your omega!" Gally calls out. Newt watches as Thomas' jaw clenches. The omega looks away, scared to see his reaction.

Thomas taking orders from an omega? This wouldn't have ever happened months ago, Newt thinks to himself. Instead of going after Gally, Thomas takes another step closer to Newt and inhales his scent, calming down again.

"Come on, let's get you to class," Thomas says while extending his hand for Newt to take. The omega looks down at it, hesitating before smiling shyly and grabbing it.

Thomas says goodbye to Minho and leads Newt to class, already knowing where it is. They walk hand in hand through the halls, catching glances from others but ignoring them. They arrive at Newt's class and they stand outside of the door. Thomas drops his hand and kisses him on the cheek.

"Text me if you need me," Thomas says before walking away.

Newt stands there stunned, blushing. Other classmates shuffle past him to get into class, which brings him out of his trance. He shakes his head and walks into class, sitting at his spot for the first time in a while.

He takes out all his things and sits comfortably in his chair. It's not long till the familiar perfume scent hits him as a beta plops herself right next to him.

Oh no. Teresa.
