Alex's POV

"Get up!" I said to John as the Alarm beeped. "Your Alarm has been going off for ten minutes!"

He shot right out of bed and into the bathroom. I can only assume that he was rushing so he wouldn't be late.

"Grab your bag, let's go to breakfast." I smirked when he came back out of the bathroom.

He picked up his bag and ran out the door. I followed him.

Once we got to the Cafeteria, we put our bags down at the table and went to get in the breakfast line. I caught a glimpse of his eyes when I did.

He's so perfect, with his cute eyes, cute freckles, cute ponytail... I dreamed.

"Hey, loverboy, get a move on." Laf said, slapping me in the shoulder.

"Huh?" I asked.

"You were totally thinking about John!" He cooed.

"Was not!" I covered up.

"We're to!" He exclaimed, clearly enjoying himself.

"Alright, I'm not doing this. We're not children." I said and moved on up the breakfast line.

"Come on, mon amie." He said, catching up to me. "I was just playing."

"Were you, Laf? Were you?" I exploded while a slammed my try down.

The whole cafeteria went dead silent turned and looked at me and the scene I was causing.

"Mr. Hamilton." A teacher came up to me and said, "come with me please."

John looked at me with a shocked face as I was led away to the principles office.

"Good morning, Mr. Hamilton." Ms. Johansson said as I walked into her office. "I didn't expect to see you as my first visit of the school year."

"Well," I said, "things happen."

"So I heard you had an outburst in the cafeteria today." She informed me.

"News sure does travel fast around here." I murmured under my breath.

"What was that?" She asked.

"Nothing." I replied, too quickly.

"Anyway..." she started again. "We can't be having that, especially not on the first day of school."

"Of corse not." I replied.

"Since it's only the first day, I'm going to let you off with just a warning, Mr. Hamilton. But I don't want the happening again." She said.

"Yes, ma'am." I said and got up to walk out.

"May god to be with you." She said as I walked out.

I sighed.

"Damn, Alex! Johansson's office on the first day of school! That's a new record!" Herc exclaimed when I sat back down.

"Uh Huh." I huffed.

"Je suis tres tres tres désolé, mon amie." Laf said, clearly distressed.

"It's ok." I said to him, then turned to a clearly confused John. "He said he's very sorry."

That made John look even more confused.

"For what?" He asked.

"For provoking... me..." I trailed off, getting lost in Johns eyes.

"Dude, you ok?" Herc asked me, pulling me out of my daze.

"Yeah." I said, coming back down to earth. "Just hungry." And I got up to go to the breakfast line.

John's POV

As I followed Alex, Herc and Laf to homeroom, I could help but think about Alex staring at me at breakfast.

He wasn't staring at me, was he? I thought. No, theres no way. I went back and fourth in my head like this all the way to our classroom.

"First day!" Alex said with his sweet, amazing voice, bringing me back to a sudo-reality. "You excited?"

"Sure." I replied. "Let's go with that."

"Good morning, class." A woman with long jet black hair and fair skin said as she walked in the room, five minutes after the bell rang.

Great first impression. I rolled my eyes.

"My name is Ms. Schuyler, one of the three, and I will be your homeroom teacher this year." She introduced herself.

"There Ms. Schuylers?" I leaned over to Alex and asked.

"Yeah." He replied. "We just call them by their first names when they're not around, though. This ones Eliza."

"That makes sense." I said.

In homeroom, everyone just went around the room and introduced themselves - name, how many years here, and one interesting thing about them. The bell rang before we could finish.

"We'll pick this up tomorrow!" Eliza called as we left to go to our next classes.

"What do you have next?" Laf asked as we were walking out of the room.

"Uh, drawing and painting in room 415." I replied.

"That's my next class." He exclaimed. "I'll walk you there."

"Cool, thanks." I said, waving goodbye to Alex and Herc.

"So," Laf asked while we were walking to our next period, "what do you think of Alex?"

"He's cool." I replied. "I like him."

More than he knows. I thought to myself.

"C'est juste une question de temps." Laf said.

"Huh?" I asked.

"Oh, nothing." He replied. "We need to hurry up if we don't want to be late."

First period was pretty much just the teacher rambling on about the different "rules and procedures" of the art room. Nothing too exciting. But second period... that was the class I was dreading most. Christian studies.

When I walked into the classroom with Laf, I was relieved to see that Alex and Herc were already in the classroom. At least the four of us could endure this hell together.

"Welcome to Christian studies." An old(er) man said over the bell.

Great. I thought to myelf. One of these teachers.

"My name is Mr. Dell, and I will be your teacher for this course this year." He said, bored.

"Here is your program of studies for this school year, and your required readings." He said as he handed out a paper.

I looked it over once I got the paper. Most of the required readings had the words follow or worship or god in the title.

This is going to be a long year... I sighed to myself.

(A/N - Christian studies... sounds like hell. Anyway, I've seen a lot of comments asking if I will continue the story, and the answer is YES! I have no intentions of abandoning this story until it is complete! Also, if you PM me, it's showing up in my notifications, but I'm not able to reply, so please don't be offended if I don't reply to you. Anyway, chapter 4 should be up very soon! Don't forget to review!)
