school Newtmas😛

Thomas transferred to a new school relatively recently. Or rather, his parents transferred him by force.
They found a place for him in the new class right away, but for now it was only the role of the "new kid".
There was a class monitor, of course: his name was Alby. He was a bit rude, but he treated Thomas well, even though he didn't show it. Chuck often said that he was like an older brother to everyone. He was helping them improve in chemistry, physics, and trigonometry.
There was Gally, who treated Thomas... not very warmly, but he didn't bully him either. He was suspicious, but without hatred, so far?
And then there was Chuck, he was very nice, but sometimes he was annoying. Thomas couldn't stay mad at him for long. There was something about him that no one else had. He treated Thomas like a best friend, even though they barely knew each other. And Tom himself succumbed to manipulation. In a short time, Chuck became like a little brother to him.

It was Minho; Korean, I think? Thomas wasn't particularly familiar with names, or even Asian appearances, so he could only guess. Going up to him and asking seemed like a suicide mission! He seemed friendly towards Thomas, but also kind of like Galli. An incomprehensible character. But it seemed they were starting to bond, since Minho was the first to show Thomas around the school and explain its rules, beating Alby to the punch, who hadn't planned on it at all.
And according to the others, there was also Newt? I think that was his name. Yeah, right, Chuck was always buzzing about him... he was the deputy head. They said he was quite kind to everyone and treated the newcomers well, but Thomas was worried about there being someone else he didn't know, and it was unclear how that someone would treat him.
When Thomas arrived at school in the second week, a happy Chuck greeted him at the classroom door. Tom tensed. Chuck was always cheerful, of course, but now he was practically jumping up and down.
"Newt's here! You'll finally meet him." Chuck whistled. Thomas felt a chill run through his gut.
