Alexander Pov
       I haven't slept in my dorm for about three days. I feel like shit, and it's fucking cold outside. After the thing happened with Maria and I, Thomas completely shut me out. In debate he's been getting more competitive and I've been getting less and less. My friends don't know what happened because I haven't told them. Everything is falling apart bit by bit. Just like before. Just like the Caribbean. The place I escaped from.

Thomas Pov
         I have seen Alexander only in class. I made him leave our dorm. So he's been wearing the same clothes for the past three days. I'm starting to feel a bit of pity. Maybe I should find him. I miss him. It's an hour before class so I have time to look.
         After a while of looking I decided to just head back. Then I tripped on something. I heard that something yelp. That something was Alexander.   
           "Alex. I was wondering if you wanted to come back to the dorm? I miss you. What you did was pretty fucking horrible but all in all you're still a person. And people make mistakes. And I really just fuckin miss ya darlin'." I said. I guess my southern accent decided to show up. He smiled and said softly "I miss you too."
I helped him up and we walked back to the dorm.
       Once we got in the first thing I said was "Okay now take a shower because you smell awful. Wait where did you use a bathroom? What the fu- ew. Just nevermind. Take a shower."
He giggled and went to the bathroom. Wait are there razors in there? Fuck. I'll just check his wrists later I guess.
        He got out and then I said "By the way....we are late for class." He looked at his watch and exclaimed
"Mr. Washington's going to kill us!" "Yeah I know." We ran down the stairs and then Alex stopped and said "Wait." And pushes me down the motherfucking stairs. He laughed and ran to class. I barged in and said "He pushed me down the fucking stairs!" Alex chuckled and opened a book. "Language, Mr. Jefferson." I sighed and sat down next to Alex. During class he handed me a note. "We are still dating, right?" I wrote back "Duh." And put it on his desk. He didn't realize I did at first and then I nudged him a bit and he looked and said "Oh!" This man needs glasses. After listening to Seabury and Lee do a debate the bell rang.
        "Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Jefferson. Come to my office please." Oh no. Alex looked at me. "Do you think it was because we were late and I nudged you down the stairs?"
    I scoffed and said "How would I know?" We went into his office. "Note." Is all Mr. Washington said. "What note sir?" I asked trying to sound innocent. "Mr. Jefferson I am not stupid. Now give me the note. I need to make sure you aren't giving each other death threats."
Alex looked at him confused.
"Son don't give me that look. You pushed him down the stairs." He said. "And I'd gladly do it again. And never call me son again or I'll break your goddamn legs." Al muttered.
"What was that?" Washington asked. "Nothing." Alex mumbled.
"Note." He repeated. Alex reluctantly reached into his sock and took out a note. "Why did you put it in your sock?" I asked. He shrugged. Mr. Washington read the note. He chuckled and said "Hmmm. I look forward to seeing this play out. Close the door on your way out."
He gave Alex the note back and we left. Well now our teacher knows. Fun.
