Chapter 11: Jefferson's point of view

I was laying down with my long-time boyfriend, James when Charlie texted me. I opened it up and he asked about Angelica's homework.

"Ok, why do you need to know?"

"She's been really tired so I'm just doing her homework for her."

"Ok well we've been studying sleep. So an essay on sleep, and a worksheet on why humans sleep."

"That's all?"

"Yeah. She did everything else in her classes."

"Ok, thanks. Tell James I say hi."

So I told James that Charlie said hi, and then I just held him for about 15 minutes. Then we got hungry, so we went to Friday's. When we got there, I saw John Laurens, a person I'd been bullying since middle school. I also saw him with a pretty good looking guy. He had a small, recently shaved mustache and beard, and had beautiful brown hair in a messy ponytail. I then realized I had a boyfriend, and he was enough for me. But I couldn't help looking back at that man. "Babe? Did you hear what I said?" James asked me. "No sorry, can you say that again?" I replied, feeling guilty from looking at that man. "I said, do you wanna watch a new movie when we get back to the dorm?" He said, with his cute, innocent smile. "Yeah that would be great! I'm gonna run to the bathroom, I'll be right back." I smiled back at him and got up. I had really only got up, because that guy had gotten up and walked to the bathroom. When I walked in, I saw him brushing out his hair. "Hi. I'm Thomas." I said, feeling weird about meeting someone in a bathroom. "Oh, I'm Alex! Pleasure to meet you!" He said, smiling. "Who are you here with? I'm with my boyfriend." I smiled. "I'm here with my roommate. Although I would want to think of him more of a roommate. He is super handsome and sweet." He said smiling and blushing. "Oh, you mean John Laurens? Yeah I go to school with you guys then!" I laughed, not telling him about the bullying. "Oh, we'll see you on campus!" He said putting his hair back up and walking out. Soon, I walked out too. When I came out, James was coughing up a fit, due to his cold. "Hey *cough cough* welcome back!" He said, in between coughs. "Do you wanna go home?" I asked, seeing his face go from a chocolate brown to a dark red.

"Yeah if we *cough cough* could." He said, smiling and coughing.
