Chapter 9

A/N: Hi! I'm crying my eyes out with this. I watched more and made myself suffer. Haha. Now onto the chapter

John's POV-

My Dear Alexander,

You may have noticed my lack of the comma. Do I even have your consent that your are mine?

Thanks for brightening up my night. You're like the moon. At some point you disappear... it makes me feel lonely.

You re-appear with a smile. It makes me smile. And day by day, your smile grows wider, but disappears for the time to part our ways.

You're like the moon. You seem smol but, in reality, in the inside, you're confident and my stomach has butterflies and fireworks in it.

Sincerely,
Me

It seems obvious. Well, I hope it's obvious for him. Just not that obvious that he would be like-

"HEY JOHN THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE LETTERS!!!"

No.

Writing letters to him has become a habit of me. It's like, I'm a whole new Alexander-y John.

Why do I write? I want to keep memories. Who knows, if we happen to-

I'm taking about years away from now, aren't I? Are we even going to have a future together?

I'm trying to leave as many hints as possible. But not too much. Who knows when I'l run out of time. He has to at least know it's me.

I sighed. I'll drop it off at his dorm later. Maybe when he's at class. I only had one class today, Debate. But I was already finished with that anyways.

I checked Alex's schedule. Does that sounds creepy like I'm stalking him? I need to know when he's there or not.

He's having Political Science, right now. Afterwards, free for the whole day.

Merde.

I know French too! I just don't use it much. Except to annoy Herc and Peggy.

I walked out towards Alex's dorm and slipped the letter underneath the door.

Ping!

Laf texted the group chat.

(a/n: same usernames)

Rev Set

FrenchBaguette: hey everyone free for a movie night?

NeverSatisfied: sure

Lizard: got it.

AndPeggay: sure. Can mars come too?

FrenchBaguette: oOoH- yeah sure

Non-stop: Yeah. Now, stop interrupting my class. Also, Peggy's and comin'

TurtleBoi: really alex? Yeah, i'll come

INeedNoIntroduction: Im joining

FrenchBaguette: k

I closed my phone and left to go to mt dorm to change. I had a green turtle shirt, and gray sweatpants.

Hercules probably went straight to the dorm.

I also brought some popcorn for myself because Peggy usually steals everything.

I quickly grabbed my phone from my bed a left.

Alex's POV-

After class, I went back to me and Laf's dorm. On the way, I bumped into Peggy.

"Hey, Pegs." I smiled as I walked up the stairs.

"Hi, Alex." She grinned walking alongside me.

We talked about Literature class. Sometimes I see her there. We just talked about how the professor, Mr. Adams, is so... worse than the others.

We eventually came to my dorm and I pulled out my keys. Once we opened, the others were already there.

"Ah, Alexandre. How did you get through the door."Laf said.

" I live here?" I chuckled.

"Right..." he realised. "Anyways, secret admirer has another letter for you."

I looked at my desk. Yep. Herc and John exchanged weird glances to each other. I ignored it.

"So...what movie are we watching?" I asked.

"Movie? More of musical!" Eliza smiled.

"Miranda." Angelica said. It was the group's favorite. But I haven't listened to it yet. I was very eager to it. I sat beside John. Let's see... Maria beside Peggy. Eliza was beside her with Angelica. Angelica was beside Herc followed by Laf and John.

"Shh... It's starting!" John shushed us all. He looked like a child. A glint in his eyes present. I leaned back and let myself relax.

Someone that looked like Aaron flashed at the screen.

"How does a bastard, orphan..."

-time skip-

"MAN! THE MAN IS NON-STOP!" They all shouted. I laughed. Miranda reminds me of myself. I relaxed my head on John's shoulder. He blushed, and played with my hair for the rest of the film.

"Are you sure you guys aren't DaTiNG?" Peggy teased. We blushed.

"You're not negotiating!" Eliza squealed.

"Awww." Herc cooed.

I pouted and they all laughed. But what made my heart leap was John's.

I'm falling for this boy...

OMG did I just consider that.

Angelica's POV-

-next day-

Another lams meeting. I didn't really enjoy it, but, in all honesty, I fell for Alexander. But when I saw John's eyes, windows of the soul, I knew I just had to stand up and help him.

Lafayette started, "The letters just made it worse..."

Hercules commented, "It just makes them choose between the 'secret admirer' and John, or Alex." He air quoted.

"I agree." Eliza nodded.

"Have you not read them?" I chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Maria said. She was officially joining our squad.

"Sorry, Mars." Peggy softly smiled. "Yes, we did."

"John's giving hints to Alexander..." I said.

"What? A game or something?" Hercules said.

"Yeah."

"Mystery..." Eliza trailed off. Her eyes lit up. "That's it!"

"Huh?" we all wondered.

"Mysteries ." She repeated. "Alex loves mysteries."

"How'd ya know?" Hercules asks.

"Everytime I go to the library, I see Alexander filled in with mountains of Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes books." She smile. "Sometimes with John. He must have noticed, as well."

We all knew where this was going.

"Let's tell John what we know..."

-later-

We all went to Herc and John's dorm, Herc entering first so John would not see us.

We tried to make it seem like Herc was the only one.

"Shush!"

"Be quiet!"

"He's gonna hear us!"

Key word: tried.

"Guys?" John appeared behind us. We were hiding... Behind the couch.

I know right.

Not the best hiding spot.

We all scrambled to our feet, standing awkwardly, waving awkwardly, laughing awkwardly.

We were very awkward.

"Hi, John! Just came to check on you... Yeah!" Peggy bit her nails. One of her habits.

"Yeah..." He slowly nodded his head, unsure.

"Fine. We came here because..." I said, but first turned my head to them.

Now we have 'mouthing language'.

I looked at Laf. "Do I tell him?" I mouthed.

"Tell him what?"

"That Alex wrote the letters?"

Utter chaos began. "NO"

"LET HIM TELL IT!"

"NON!"

"Okay. Okay." I turned so I was now fully facing them. "Calm down. But will we tell him what we know?"

They all nodded.

"Just John's letter. All that jazz." Peggy confirmed.

I remind you, we were all mouthing this conversation.

John stood there, not knowing exactly what was going on.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked.

"Sit." Eliza ordered.

"Okay..." John looked at her wide-eyed as he sat down on the loveseat.

We all did.

"Wow. There's a new Angie." Herc wolf-whistled,  Eliza giving him a death glare.

"Be serious guys."

We all surrounded him at the floor.

John's POV-

What.

The.

Heck.

My friends surrounded me while I sat on the loveseat.

"D-Did I do something?" I asked.

I'm sweating buckets.

(I'm sorry)

"We know everything, John." Eliza said.

"Dude, since when were you like Angie?" I exclaimed.

"Dunno." She shrugged.

"But, yes. We know everything." Peggy confirmed.

"What do you mean by everything?" I stammered.

"Don't play, how you say, dumb, John." Laf said.

"Herc." I muttered under my breath.

"It was our idea to give you advice." Angelica said.

"So... It's not just Herc?" I stated. They all nodded. "And y'all knew." I crossed my arms.

"We were trying to hook you up." Peggy said.

"So that's what you guys were-"

"Yeah. Don't tell Alex, please."

"So you're saying, that your advice didn't work, and now you're angry at me?" I asked. They all confirmed.

"Yep." They all said in unison.

"Okay. But I tell him by giving him-"

"Hints."

"Uh, yeah. Then in sometime a-"

"Scavenger hunt."

"The fuck, you guys are-"

"Creepy. We know."

Now, Eliza returned to her former self. "When are you planning to do it?"

I blushed. "Well... I was thinking his birthday..."

"Go get 'em, tiger!"

I nodded my head, still red. "T-thanks, guys."
