Chapter 2
Hello again my fellow readers. I don't know if you like the constant updates or not. Let me know. Anyway, on with the book!
Alex's POV
I woke up in the clothes I was wearing yesterday. I must've fallen asleep the second we got here. Yawning, I looked over to John's bed. He was still sleeping soundly. Do I have any classes today? I shakily got up and took a peek at my schedule. No classes 'till tomorrow. Aw, man. I looked over at John again. He was still asleep. And he's SHIRTLESS!!!! Screaming internally, I rushed to find something to do. I can't just stare at him shirtless and asleep!!! That's creepy and weird... While I was trying to figure out what to do, John stirred. Thinking fast I slunk into the bathroom as inconspicuously as possible. If John finds out I was staring I will DIE of embarrassment!!! Locking the door, I splashed my face with water and came out casually. "Mornin' Alex," said John sleepily.
"Good morning John." I stuttered. John got up and put on a shirt. That's too bad...
John's POV
I woke up relatively early. Alex was starting to stir and I didn't feel like getting up just yet. So I keep my eyes closed and didn't say anything. Alex got up and his brown gaze seemed to burn into my back. I couldn't take it any more and tried to get up. Of course, my arms decided to pick now to fall asleep. Alex's footsteps suddenly receded toward the bathroom. The door shut behind him. Finally managing to pick myself off the bed, I glanced around and spotted Alex coming out of the bathroom. "Mornin' Alex." I said sleepily. I got up and slipped on a shirt.
"Good morning John." Alex stuttered.
"Do you have any classes today?" I asked, silently hoping he didn't.
"Nah. I'm free until tomorrow." Alex answered.
"Cool. We can spend the day getting to know each other and what not." Alex nodded in agreement. "There's a coffee shop down the road Laf told me about. You wanna go?"
"Sure." said Alex. "Lemme take a shower first though." I blew it, I should've listened to Burr and stopped talking!!! Alex grabbed some clothes and went back into the bathroom. I took out my phone to tell Herc and Laf how I felt about him.
Turtle_Boi: Hey Herc, Laf, I have a problem.
Pants Maker: shoot
French_Baguette: tell us
Turtle_Boi: I kinda have a crush on, um, Alex
Sighing, I put my phone away. Then, I heard Herc screaming through the wall. They're probably fan girling over this... I fixed my curly hair into a ponytail, getting all the loose strands out of my face. Alex came out a few minutes later with a rather large hoodie. Aww... he looks so CUTE in that thing!! Maybe I should ask him to wear it more often. He said whe was done, so I took my clothes and went to take a shower as well.
Laf's POV
Turtle_Boi: I kinda have a crush on, um, Alex
"OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! I KNEW THEY'D BE CUTE TOGETHER!!!!! I TOLD YOU LAF!!!!! I TOLD YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!" Herc hollered. Sighing, I took my hand and covered his mouth.
"Shut up Herc," I whisper-shouted. "They are right next door and they can hear us."
"Sorry, I just get really excited with these things!!" Herc whispered. You are really adorable when you're excited
"I know Herc." I said. "Don't worry, I ship them too." "Do you wanna go for some coffee at the coffee shop down the road?" I asked Herc. He shrugged, so I took that as a yes. "I'll invite Johnny Boy and Alex, non?" Herc snorted, but nodded. I took out my phone to text 'em.
French_Baguette: hey john we are going to the coffee shop i told you about the other day. wanna join?
Turtle_Boi: I was already planning on heading there with Alex this morning, so yeah. Do you wanna head out together or?
French_Baguette: i guess we could leave together since we live next to each other
Turtle_Boi: Alright, I'll tell Alex since his phone is really old. I don't think it works well at all.
With that, I put away my phone and told Herc to be ready to swing by them in about ten minutes.
Alex's POV
Once I came out of the shower, John grabbed his stuff and went in. I was bored, so I decided to continue on my essay. I won't be like all the other college students this year. I will be an over-achiever since that's what landed me here in the first place. I unplugged my old computer and opened up my Word document. Then, I continued from where I left off. "... and it is with my greatest intentions..." I guess I was so focused on my work that I didn't realize John came out and was grabbing his stuff. I quickly saved the Word document and put my computer to charge.
(Time skip because MadaiO06 told me to.)
Once we all arrived at the coffee shop, Herc and Laf offered to get drinks while me and John sat and waited. I noticed a group of three girls sitting at a table not far from us. I saw them whisper amongst themselves and continuously pointing at me. "Hey John." I whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Is it just me, or are those girls pointing at me?"
"I think you're right. But if they wanted something, they would come over here and talk to us."
I shrugged and took out a paper and pen. Then I just started jotting down ideas for new essays. When I looked up again, Herc and Laf came back with our coffees. Of course, I got black coffee since I have never had any other kind. John got a caramel frappe, Herc got mint tea, and Laf got French vanilla. "Isn't ironic that the French person got French vanilla?" Herc joked. Laf lightly punched his arm.
"It's not as good as REAL French coffee, but it'll do." Laf stated. Herc stuck out his tongue at him immaturely. I rolled my eyes at the pair. So immature... John nudged me as the three girls who were sitting at the other table came up to us. The smallest one began to speak.
"Hiya! The name's Peggy. These are my sisters Angelica and Elizabeth. But just call her Eliza." Peggy chirped.
"Peggy!!" the one I presumed to be Angelica muttered. "We don't need you to introduce us, we can speak ourselves." Peggy just rolled her eyes at her.
(Time skip again because a friend *ahem* MadaiO06 made me.)
I made three new friends today. Peggy, Angelica, and Eliza. I really need to replace my phone so I can text people properly. Of course, I am never going to tell anyone that, especially John. We were walking back to the dorms, and as it turns out, the sisters go to Colombia too, so they came with us. I was always striking up a conversation with John, although Eliza and Angelica were always trying to flirt with me. How would they know I'm bi. They just met me. Inwardly sighing, I was quite relived when we got back to the dorm. "Bye guys!!!" Peggy screamed. Angelica grabbed here and dragged her towards the girls dorms. It was still morning, so I wondered what we were going to do, although I wouldn't mind just typing the day away.
Eliza's POV (Finally. Am I right?)
Angelica was dragging Peggy away from our new friends. "Peggy!!" Angelica yelled after we were inside our dorm building. "Why are you embarrassing me in front of Alex!! I want him to like me but you are ruining everything!!"
"Well, he is bi, so he may like John." Peggy said.
"And how would you know he's bi?!?" Angelica muttered.
"I can read people like open books." Peggy replied smartly.
"Calm down Peggy, you're drawing unwanted attention." I said quietly, nervously glancing around at the people staring. "You too Angelica..." Angelica sighed and hauled a squirming Peggy up the few flights of stairs to get to our dorm. I really love Alex too. I guess he has two people chasing after him.(Actually three but they don't know about John being gay and all that jazz.) I got out the key to open the door to our dorm. It's quite large, larger than the normal dorms. The reason for this is because our father is rich.
"Hey! I have an idea, Angelica!" I said "Why don't we invite the guys to come with us to the bar that lets underage college students in." Angelica's face lit up.
"Perfect!" Angelica yelled. She took out her phone and texted the guys.
SinnamonRoll: hey guys do u wanna come with us to a bar? (I put terrible grammar here on purpose)
Pants Maker: i do
French_Baguette: so do i
Turtle_Boi: I guess so... I'll ask Alex (John, Alex, and Eliza will be the only ones who write properly.)
SinnamonRoll: so we'll come by you guys around six and we can all go together
Turtle_Boi: Alex says he'll come. So, alright. See you then.
"I'm an awesome event planner." Angelica sighs.
"You're the only one who seems to think so..." mutters Peggy.
"What did you say!!" Angelica threatened.
"I SAID that you're the only one who seems to think you are great at planning events." Peggy repeated.
"PEGGY!!!!" Angelica snarled. She jumped on Peggy and they started fighting like little girls. I ran over to the mass of limbs and attempted to pry them apart. Every time I managed to pull them away from each other, they bolted and jumped on each other again. This'll be a LONG day... Sighing, I tried to pull them away yet again.
Finally done. Hope you liked this chapter. The next one will be out tomorrow. Thanks for reading!! -S
