Thomas POV

I didn't want to work, Maria approaches me excitedly. She puts her leaf on my table.

"I'm warning you now that I don't have the morale to work." I say. She smiles at me.

"No matter anyway I wasn't really going to do it. Why are you like that. Are you disappointed that Aaron is with someone? " She says teasing me.

"Aaron is with nobody." She shakes her head.

"Aaron is with Alexander, but it's just so that Alexander doesn't intimidate him anymore. I'm not sure he loves Alexander." She says thinking. I shrug and look at James.

"Thomas what's up with?" I point James so he doesn't see him.

"Do you see the one with the blue sweater? Well, that's the one I love, "I say sadly. She widens her eyes.

"You love James ????" She says, whispering not to scream. I nod him. She is happy is shocked. I think she is happy to be right about my sexuality, but that James disturbs her.

"We went out together one day and split up because of me." I say sadly. She pats me on the shoulder.

"What happened? What did you do? "She asks. I shake my head.

"We'd better make this exercices." I say to change the subject. While we're doing the crosswords, Maria keeps looking at me.

"Did he hit you?" She asks in a worried voice. I shake my head.

"He would never do that." I say. She doesn't seem to be in the same opinion as me.

"Wait, but where do you know James?" I ask. I ask. She plays with the curls of her hair nervously.

"Long story." She says. I decide not to insist and continue the crosswords.

After a while, the teacher, Washington takes our file except for those who have not finished and weirdly everyone has finished.

"I'm glad to see everyone's finished. Next time you will be with the same partner as you are today." He says satisfied.

I see Hercules and Laurens look badly at Aaron. Why?
