Chapter 4

  I'm kissing John...

I'm kissing John!

Alex thought to himself, he felt like an idiot when his lips were on the others, but realized, John was kissing back! Alex wrapped his arms around John's neck, he felt John smile against his lips, causing him to smile. After what seemed like forever, they both pulled away. They looked each other in the eye and blushed furiously. "S-sorry.." Alex apologizes, now looking away from the other. "Don't be sorry for that... i-it was amazing.." John admits. Suddenly, both of their phones went off.

The Squad

TurtleBoi-- You owe me 10 bucks Herc

BrahhBrahh-- I was hopeing you wouldnt remember that...

HamSandwich-- *hoping *wouldn't

BrahhBrahh-- Perfectionist...

John giggled when he saw Alex corrected him. "So are we going to be dorm mates now because I honestly think they should have their own room." John says with a smile, hoping he could share a room with Alex. "I don't know. It's almost 12 and Laf said he wanted me to meet the sisters?" Alex replys, raising an eyebrow because he was curious of who the sisters were. "Oh yeah! The Schylur sisters! We are going to meet them at lunch. You'll like them, they're nice." John says, sending a text to a different group chat;

StoryTeller-- THATS SO SADDDDDD

AndPeggo-- Are we still going to lunch??

  John frowned at Alex's username. "Let's head out. The cafe is walking distance." John says, still frowning. Alex shrugged and nodded. The 2 boys head out and talk on there way to the cafe. Once they got there, John saw that everyone was already there. Laf and Herc were sitting next to each other, next to Herc was Peggy, then Eliza, than Angelic. Alexander studied their appearances one girl was in a bright yellow shirt and some jeans, with her curly brown hair in a ponytail. The yellow stood out against her darker skin. The girl next to her had pale skin, with slick black hair that was down, she had black leggings and a bright blue shirt on with a panda on it. The last girl had darker skin than the other girls, she also had brown hair, she wore a pink crop top and ripped jeans. "Hey guys!" John yelled to them while walking over to their table. "HEY!!" They all responded. Alex hid behind John slightly, he didn't really like meeting new people. John sat next to Angelica and Alex sat down next to him. "Ah! Mon ami! Meet the Schuyler sisters!" Lafayette says with his smiling face. "I'm Angelica, the oldest one of the sisters." She states giving a small smile. "Guilty middle child! I'm Eliza." Eliza tells Alex, staring at him slightly. "And Peggy!" Peggy says, putting up a peace at Alex. "Hi..." Alex says shyly. The group talked for awhile, mostly about Laf and Herc. Then the waiter came, "Hey! I'm Lizzy and I'll be serving you today! Can I get you something to drink?" She asked in a polite tone. She smiled at the group. "I'll have a water." Angelica tells her. "Lemonade please!" Eliza says. "Coke." Peggy says simply. Herc,Laf, and John get iced tea. "And you sir?" The lady asks Alex. "I-I'm not thirsty." He tells her in a quiet voice. "Okay, I'll be back in a second with your guys drinks." She smiles and goes off to get the drinks. Everyone begins to talk again but John was worried about Alex. He types something quick on his phone and puts it next to him on the seat. John nudges Alex and points to his phone. Alex picks it up and it reads;

Why aren't you drinking anything?

  Alex sighed and whispered to John, "I'm just not thirsty I guess." John gives him a worried look. "Hey Alex, we don't know much about you! What are you like?" Eliza asks Alex. "U-um. There's not that much about me. I'm not that interesting." Alex states with a shrug. "He's bisexual." Lafayette says still smiling. "Cool. I'm the gayest." Peggy tells him with a proud smile. "Noooo I'm the gayest!" John argues. Everyone laughs at this. "Alright! Here are your drinks!" The waitress comes back. She takes everyone's orders for food. Except for Alexander's, he doesn't order anything. This concerned John even more. Alexander was ripping apart a piece of a napkin, he looked bored. Alex was distracted. The skies looked gray again. He was worried about the rain. He wasn't really paying attention to anything. John tapped his shoulder making Alex jump. "You okay..?" John asks in a whisper. Alex nods. They all talked for awhile, Alex was getting comfortable with these new friends. Which made John happy. They soon got their food and Alex stayed silent while everyone ate. Suddenly, thunder was heard throughout the building, causing Alex to jump and his heart began to race. "Dang.. it's supposed to rain a lot today." Angie(which Alex was told to call her) says looking at the rain outside. Lafayette noticed it was raining and looked to Alex, who looked distressed. He kicks John from under the table, this getting his attention. Lafayette motions to Alex who was next to John. John understood and saw Alex was shaking slightly. He frowned and looked down. As he did, he saw Alexander's hand balled in a fist. Lightning struck and Alex bit his lip to prevent him from yelping. He just whimpered slightly. John thought for a second and had an idea. He touched Alexander's hand slightly, this caused Alex to flinch harshly. He snapped his head to look at John, which John's face had an worried expression on it. John grabbed Alex's hand, unballing it from its fist shape. He intertwined his fingers with Alexander's. Hoping to calm him. Alex's face went to a shade of pink. "If you get scared, squeeze my hand... I'll protect you..." John whispers to Alex soothingly. Alex smiles and relaxes a bit. Lafayette smiles brightly at this. He nudged Herc and pointed to them. Herc smiles and kisses Laf's cheek. "OHHHH SHIPPPP" Peggy screams, seeing what Herc did. Everyone laughed but Laf and Herc we're blushing messes. Thunder is heard again, Alex flinches and squeezes John's hand lightly. John squeezes back lightly, getting a bit closer to Alex. John really liked Alex... a lot. The sisters finished their food first and soon were out the door. "So you guys are finally dating!" John exclaims, still holding onto Alexander's hand. Alex felt safe with John. The two blushed and Herc nodded. "So are we switching dorms now or..?" Herc asks. "Alex, mon ami, you've been very quiet. Is something wrong?" Lafayette asks Alex, tilting his head a bit. Alex flinched and opened his mouth to say something but nothing would come out. "I-I-I'm going to h-head back to the d-dorms..." Alex responds quickly. He let go of John's hand and quickly gets up to leave. "Wait!" John yells for him and grabs Alex's arm to stop him. Alex hissed in pain and pulls John's hand away. He rolls down his sleeve and see scars and new cuts on his forearm. He quickly covers it and runs out the door. He just wanted to get away from everybody. He ran about 2 miles until he couldn't anymore. He gasped for breath, the rain still pouring down. He finds a nearby tree, and sits under it. He balls himself up, his knees against his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. He buried his face in his knees. His arms stung from John's touch. Why can't I do anything right?? Alex thought to himself. He started to shake uncontrollably. He felt so useless. He sat like that for about 2 and a half hours, no one came for him. He got up, almost falling because he had been in the same position for awhile. He walks to the large building that held the dorms. He walks up the stairs slowly, a million thoughts seemed to stay in his head. Before he knew it, he was in front of his dorm. He turned the doorknob, it was unlocked. He saw John there, with boxes of his stuff. Alex didn't want face him right now, but he had to eventually. He walked into the dorm and closed the door behind him. This got John's attention, he looked behind him and saw Alex standing there. "Alex! Where have you been??" John asks, walking up to him. Alex doesn't respond to him, he just looks down to his feet. "Alex...? Alexander please just talk to me." John begged to Alex. Alex felt frozen again, he didn't know what to say.

"I have so much work to do..."
