THE NEWBIE

6

A familiar face stand parallel to yours. Two identical, toothy grins appear on each of your faces and yours eyes search the opposites.

Before you know it, both of you are rushing forward, embracing each other in a hug. His arms wrap around you and you squeeze tighter.

As the hug slowly breaks, you stare at his face, capturing every detail that does not get justice through the Internet.

"Y-you smell g-good" he stutters as the entire cast surrounding the two of you sighs at his awkward choice of words.

Although most would find the phrase somethings to cringe at, the fondness you hold for the boy only grows deeper.

"Hello to you too, Thomas." You smirk.
