Alex's POV
I watched John as he walked into Dell's class. At first he looked stressed and nervous, then he saw Herc and I and looked almost relieved, then he looked stressed again when he sat down.
"Welcome to Christian Studies. My name is Mr. Dell, and I will be your teacher for this course this year. Here is your program of studies for this school year, and your required readings." Mr. Dell walked in and said.
John looked over the paper and sighed.
"Hey, you ok?" I reached over to him and wispered.
"I just don't exactly believe in this stuff, you know?" He wispered back.
"I know the feeling." I told him.
"Mr. Hamilton." Mr. Dell said, glaring at me. "Would you like to inform the class of what you and your friend were discussing?"
"No thank you, Mr. Dell. John and I were discussing a private matter." I told him.
Mr. Dell went back to reading off the syllabus.
"What was that?" John leaned over to me and wispered. "That was very polite."
"To get on his good side, you need to talk like your from the early 1900's." I informed him.
"Great." He rolled his eyes.
We spent the rest of the class going back and forth like this.

"How was French class with Laf?" I asked John when we got back to the dorm after classes were over.
"Overwhelming." He replied, laughing.
"Yeah, Laf can be like that." I told him.
"Is it bad that I'm enrolled in french two and I don't know a word of french apart from Bonjour?" He asked me.
"Anywhere else? Maybe." I replied. "But here? Get ready for a year of D's and F's."
"Great." He replied.
I sat down on my bed and pulled out my laptop.
"Homework already?" John asked me.
"Yeah, I'm in AP European English, and my teacher already gave us an essay to do." I told him. "A writing sample, he called it."
"Fun." John said, pulling out his iPad.
"Bonjour, Mes Amies!" Laf exclaimed, bursting into the room.
"Hey, guys." I greeted Laf and Herc as the came and sat on the couch.
Laf gave me a pointed look and then flicked his eyes to John.
I pulled out my phone, and texted Laf.
Me: leave it, dude
Laf: why?
Me: what do you mean why?
Laf: you obviously like him
"What are you guys doing?" Herc asked.
"Nothing." Laf and I replied at the same time.
Me: hes prob not gay
Laf: he prob is
"Seriously, guys what are you doing?" John asked.
"It's nothing." I said, putting my phone away and shooting Laf a look.
"So, do you guys wanna watch something?" John asked, looking up.
Again my breath caught in my through when I saw his eyes.
I can't do this for much longer. I thought to myself.
"Actually, we have homework to do." Herc said, walking out of the room with Laf on his heels.

We went to dinner and sat down with Laf and Herc after we got our food. Spaghetti night. Gross.
I pushed my food around throughout most of dinner, not really participating in any of the conversation.
"I'm going to go get some dessert." John said, and got up.
"You should tell him how you feel!" Laf said as soon as John was out of earshot.
"Laf, I told you to leave it." I complained.
"Oh, come on. He told you today in Dell that he didn't believe in this crap." Laf informed me. "That basically means he's gay. Or at least bi."
"No. Nope. No way." I said, leaning back in my chair and crossing my arms.
"You need to tell him!" Laf said.
"I'm not telling John that I'm bi!" I exclaimed quietly.
"Your bi?" John asked, sitting back down at the table. Laf smiled.
"Yes." I admitted.
"Cool." John said, blushing hard.
I spent the rest of dinner with a smile on my face.
Maybe I do have a shot. I thought to myself.

"So, about what happened at dinner." John said when we got back to the dorm. "There's something I need to tell you."
My heart started racing as soon as he said that.
This could go one of two ways. I thought to myself. One being very good, and the other being very bad.
He took a deep breath, almost as if he's preparing himself for something.
"I'm gay." He said in a small voice.
It took me a minute to figure out how I should respond. I just hope I didn't come off as shocked.
"Cool." I echoed him from earlier.
"So your ok with it?" He asked timidly.
"Dude, I'm bi. Of corse I'm ok with it." I responded.
We both sat down on the couch, closer than normal.
Suddenly, I had an idea.
"I may be totally bass here, but, I just have to do something." I said to him.
"O-ok." He stuttered.
I leaned in brought my face very close to his. So close I could feel his breath on my lips. I tilted my head, and we touched lips. It was small and soft, at first. Then the kiss got more passionate, hungry even. He ran his hands through my hair, and I brought mine up under his shirt. Suddenly, he pulled away.
We were both trying to catch our breaths.
"Wow." John said.
"I've been waiting to do that since the moment I met you." I told him.
We looked at each other in a comfortable scilence for a few minutes, and then we kissed again. We were both exploring each other, running our hands all up and down each others bodies. We didn't go all the way, but we got really close.
