I sat in a bus. Full of stinky people. Looking out the window. Thinking of John. Wait what? Why am I thinking of him? 

Someone earlier had explained the movie too me. Pretty much it took place in the revolutionary war camp. And I have to play this fictional character named Abraham, who is like a really young soldier. My best friend is the main character, who's name is Christopher. And Together we sign up for the army. 

So I'm supposed to act really happy and energetic as this Abraham guy. Then there's General Washington, played by the guy sitting next to me, and all these other characters. The movie was based off of a book, I think I had read the book before, as some of the things sounded familiar. Anyway, I'm supposed to like... die? So yeah, I'm playing this dude who is going to die.

At least I get to wear like, a revolutionary war uniform. I always thought they looked cool. 

We where almost at the filming sight. It was a large field, and the fellow very professional (like me) actors told me that there where large white tents set up in it, made too look like an army camp. My brain finally finished processing the fact that some stranger has taken me into custody and I was getting paid to walk around in a costume and talk.

Now I'm like Daniel Radcliff. He became famous, maybe I could fallow in his footsteps. I wish John where here, though. I miss his smile. Wait what? No I don't. I have only had like two conversations with him. Pffft. Everyone in the bus was silent, probably had their fill of conversations.

"Look inside, look inside your tiny mind," Someone sang quietly.

"Now look a bit harder, cause we're so uninspired," Someone else sang.

"So sick and tired, of all the hatred you harbor," They sang together and someone else joined in.

"So you say, its not okay to be gay, well I think you're just evil," They sang together.

I didn't really know the song. But everyone here certainly did.

"Your just some racist," They sang loudly. "Who cant tie my laces, your point of view is medieval. FRICK YOU, FRICK YOU VERY VERY MUCH~ Cause we hate what you do, and we hate your whole crew, so please don't say in touch."

Everyone stopped singing and broke out laughing. I awkwardly sat there. Actors where weird. We kept driving for a while longer, then the bus suddenly stopped. Everyone peeked their heads out of the window.

"Cool," One of the whispered.

I looked out my window too, and saw a large open field covered in white old-fashioned tents that blended in with the landscape. A couple people walked around with cameras through the field. There where trees lining the edge of the field, all of them leafless and covered in snow. 

"Lets go make a snowman!" Someone said.

I looked around to see a little boy here. Then I remembered Abraham had a brother, I guessed this little boy was the actor for my 'Brother'. They looked around ten years old. I didn't see any other child actors, the only person as young as me was my 'friend', 'Christopher'. I didn't know their real name.

"File out!" Someone said, and the entire crew ran too the door of the bus.

"LETS GO MEMORIZE SOME SCRIPTS AND PRANK EACH OTHER!" Someone yelled.

"Don't forget taking weird selfies of us in revolutionary army uniforms," Someone else added.

I guess this wouldn't be that bad. Right?

I sat inside a Caribou Coffee that was inside the mall, slowly drinking coffee. I had taken a break from trying to find Alexander, after searching the whole first and second floor of the entire mall. I'm at a Caribou Coffee. The first place we met. I sighed, staring around the place. I ordered a Northern Light Medium Latte with Caramel. I thought. Wait, why do I remember that? Seriously? that was weeks ago!

I sighed and finished up drinking my cappuccino. Then I stood up and decided to leave the mall. It was getting kind of late, around 6:30, so I decided to get home before dark. When I stepped outside into the cold winter air the sun had already set, without the lights in the parking lot I'd probably not even be able to see.

I hoped into my car and took off down the roads, towards my house.

~After driving down a high way, being so gay he cant drive straight, and almost crashing into a pedestrian~

I parked my car in the school parking lot. Now that Christmas break was over, I'd have to live in my dorm again. I wonder if Alexander goes to school. I thought as I walked inside. I took out my phone as I walked down the mostly empty hallways.

JohnTheTurtle: Guys, is Alexander still in this chat?

R2D2TheWaiter: Oh, yeah. We should probably kick him out now.

JohnTheTurtle: NONNO WIAT

R2D2TheWaiter: *No *no *Wait. What?

JohnTheTurtle: Whats his number?

That-One-Guy: OoooOOOooOOOOOoooOOOOOo

JohnTheTurtle: Shut it

R2D2TheWater: its 123-456-7899.

JohnTheTurtle: Thanks, you can take him out of the chat now if you like 

I quickly started a new contact, entering Alexanders number so we could text still.

123-456-7890: Alexander?

123-456-7899: Who is this? How do you know me?

123-456-7890: Its John :) Gimme a moment...

JohnTheTurtle: K

AlexanderHamilini: Still working at Crave?

JohnTheTurtle: Yeah, where are you working at?

AlexanderHamilini: I um am kind of... an actor now... 

JohnTheTurtle: WAHT?

AlexanderHamilini: *What. Not professional or anything! I'm just being a second main character in a movie. I don't have any skill, I just looked like a guy.

JohnTheTurtle: Like how Daniel Radcliff became Harry Potter?

AlexanderHamilini: That's exactly what I thought!!! 

JohnTheTurtle: Great minds think alike :)

Did I just send a smiley face? Why do I feel embarrassed by that?

JohnTheTurtle: Whats your movie called?

AlexanderHamilini: Pfft, I dunno. Like 'The Continental blah blah'

JohnTheTurtle: The Continental Crew?!?!??!?!?!?!

AlexanderHamilini: Yeah, that sounds right.

JohnTheTurtle: Now that I think about it... YOU LOOK JUST LIKE THE CHARACTER ABRAHAM!

AlexanderHamilini: You know the movie?

JohnTheTurtle: YES! I READ THE BOOK OVER ADN OVER! I KNEW THEY WHERE MAKING A MOVIE BUT YOUR IN IT??!??!?!?!?!? ABRAHAM IS MY FAV CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AlexanderHamilini: *And, *Favourite. Wow, so many coincidences.

JohnTheTurtle: *Favorite. Did you just film?

AlexanderHamilini: *Favourite. We just started the first scene. I was like walking with Christopher towards the camp and being all nervous.

JohnTheTurtle: 🏳️‍🌈

JohnTheTurtle: I've shipped Christopher and Abraham all my life :> (ANd its 'Favorite')

AlexanderHamilini: ... Do they ever get together? (*And. Its favourite-)

JohnTheTurtle: They like kiss once and then try to hide their gayness and then Abe dies and Chris is like super depresso. (IT'S FAVORITE)

AlexanderHamilini: I wish someone had told me sooner that I HAVE TO KISS A PERSON-

The realization hit me. Alexander would be kissing someone. But it was all an act, so it was okay. And it was my favorite book, so even more okay. Its not like I'm jealous or anything, I mean, its all an act. Hes not having any real connections, its just acting. Just acting. No, hes kissing someone that's no you. I blushed and pushed the thought away.

JohnTheTurtle: You'll be great

AlexanderHamilini: Thanks for the support :D

JOhnTheTurtle: I'll always be here for you, no matter what <3

Uykjhdgfgvhjik Frick- I just sent that! AAAAAAAH. I sent a FREAKING HEART TO HIM!!! 

AlexanderHamilini: Likewise! <3

My heart stopped. He sent a <3 back to me. Mon Dieu- I'm going to faint. No, don't faint, its just a friendly emoji thing. Its not a heart, it does not mean love. Clearly the 3 is the eyes and the < is the mouth. Yeah. 

JohnTheTurtle: I'll text ya later

AlexanderHamilini: Bye Mon Ami

JohnTheTurtle: You know french?

AlexanderHamilini: Fluent :)

JOhnTheTurtle: SAME!!

AlexanderHamilini: Oml- So many coincidences-

JOhnTheTurtle: Oop, I've reached my destination. Cya!

AlexanderHamilini: (Sksksk) and okay, Cya. Don't be a stranger!

JohnTheTurtle: Don't be a Vsco girl!

AlexanderHamilini: You said 'oop' so you started it-

JOhnTheTurtle: Pfft

AlexanderHamilini: Dang, american goodbyes last forever. FINAL GOODBYE!

JohnTheTurtle: Adios 

I put my phone back in my pocket as I reached my dorm room. I walked inside, Alexander on my mind. Hes Playing Abe. Abraham. The best fictional character ever. In a movie. And hes fluent in french plus hes really adorable. And he spells it like 'favourite'... That's kind of cute. Wait, did I just think hes adorable? And cute?

I mean, its not a lie.

"John, welcome back to school," I heard the familiar voice of Hercules say.

"Wassup dorm buddy," I said, closing the door behind me.

"Nothing much," Hercules said, smirking.

I gave him a suspicious glare, but decided to just hop on my bed and ignore him. Our dorm was small. Made up of two bunk beds, a couch, a television, a carpet... I think there was a closet but I'm not sure, I've never used it before. Bathrooms where community bathrooms, which sucked, but its convenient for the school so I had to deal with it.

I was Lafayette and Hercules's dorm mate. That's how we met and became friends. Our other dorm mate is this guy named Samuel Seabury, but hes always a nervous fidgeting mess who never talks to us. He hangs out with George King, so automatically hes a idiot.

I jumped on my bottom bunk and opened up my phone. I couldn't stop thinking about Alexander. He had such an interesting life! Now as an actor, acting as my favorite fictional character.... And he was just so dreamy. I MEAN- Abraham is dreamy. Abraham. Even though he's fictional, I had a crush on him from fourth grade until high school.

Not Like I have a crush on Alexander. Hes ACTING as Abraham. I thought to myself. I quietly looked up Alexanders name on Instagram, trying to find his account. He didn't have one, so I checked everything else, until I found him on Twitter. I scrolled through his stuff. He had a lot of poetry. Really good poetry.

I examined a photo of him posing in a revolutionary war uniform, a army encampment behind him. He was sitting on a horse, he probably had someone else take his photo from further away. I smiled at the photo. I looked through some more crap, and ended up watching a video of him riding a horse through a field with whoever was acting as Christopher.

Suddenly Alexander slipped and fell off his horse into a large pile of snow. Christopher broke out laughing so hard they almost fell off their horse too. At least hes having a good time. I thought, laughing a bit at more photos.

"Who are you smiling at, JoooOOOOoOOOoohn?" Lafayette asked.

"Nothing," I said, still smiling at my phone.

Lafayette suddenly snatched my phone away from me. My eyes widened and I stood up to try and grab it.

"John is staring at Alexander~" Lafayette said.

"I was just-" I snatched my phone away. "Hes in a movie based on a book I like."

"Wait hes in a movie?" Hercules jumped off his bed.

I showed them the image of him on a horse.

"Hes playing Abraham from that book called 'The Continental Crew'," I explained.

"Abraham... The one you had a crush on?" Lafayette asked.

"That was years ago," I complained, sitting back down on my bed and tucking my phone away. "Let me sleep."

"Its eight a clock," Hercules said.

"I'm waking up early tomorrow," I said, closing my eyes.

"To go stare at more pictures of him?" Hercules asked.

I threw a lamp at him.

"YRFCGVHBoilukgcyfvhbgjhjnm," Hercules screeched.

"Let me sleep," I said quietly.

I didn't hear a response form them, so they where probably leaving me alone. I closed my eyes, and found myself imagining Alexander smiling at me.
