Alex's POV

Over the past two weeks since John and I said our first I love yous, we'd been doing it everywhere. In school bathrooms, various classrooms, the cafeteria, et cetera. We came up with a plan to do it in every room of the school by the end of the school year.

"Hey, John." I called to him one Tuesday after school, two weeks after the lunch detention incident. "I'm getting in the shower. Want to join me?"

"Do I ever?" He asked, throwing down the book he was reading on his bed and stripping as he walked towards me into the bathroom.

We jumped into the shower and tired some things we had never done before, since we didn't have the supplies to do so. Let's just say, it was the best time of both of our lives. It was very hard to keep quiet while we did so.

"Wow." John said after we got out, an hour and a half later. "That was amazing."

"I know, right?" I said, coming over and kissing him. "I know where we should sneak off to tonight." I said when we pulled away.

"Where?" He asked.

"The courtyard." I exclaimed.

"Outside?" John said, suddenly nervous. "Couldn't we get caught?"

"Babe, no matter where we do it, we run the risk of getting caught." I told him.

"Yeah, I guess." He admitted. "Let's do it."

We always waited until 11:00 to sneak out, just to assure that all the teachers are asleep first. Tonight, we snuck off to the court yard, moving as quietly as possible, and using the cafeteria exit since that was the farthest from all the dorms, and it led right into the courtyard.

When we got out there, we checked to make sure that no one was out there, and then we picked a spot farthest away from the doors, and most hidden - behind a bush.

Once we had picked our spot, we layed down the blanket John insisted we bring out with us down on the ground, and we layed down on top of it, and started kissing.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked John.

"Yes. I'm sure." He said.

We then resumed our kissing. John ran his hands through my hair while I took off his shirt, breaking the kiss for only a few moments. He went down and pulled of the shorts I was wearing, followed by my boxers. I did the same. I then pulled of my own shirt and John's pants and boxers, and the fun really begun.

"I still can't believe we got away with that." John said when we snuck back into our rooms.

"Well, you'd better believe it babe, because we did." I laughed.

"Hey, um, do you think maybe we can skip tomorrow and just sleep? Not that I don't enjoy this, but I have a huge English test in two days, and..." John rambled.

"Of corse." I cut him off, and he smiled. "Maybe we can have a romantic evening in."

"I love you." John smiled, coming over and kissing me.

"I love you, too." I smiled back after we broke apart.

"Ugh, I really with we could sleep in the same bed." John sighed.

"Yeah, me too." I replied.

John looked longingly at my bed for a few moments before turning to me and saying, "Goodnight, honey. I love you." And kissing me.

"Goodnight. Love you, too." I smiled after we broke apart.

We went to our separate beds and went to sleep without another word.

John's POV

After school the next day, Alex and I planned our little romantic evening. We would steal some dessert from the cafeteria and eat it while watching crappy romcoms on Netflix.

At dinner, Alex and I tried, and failed, to be sneaky in hiding the desserts we were stealing. It didn't really matter anyway, because people stole food from the cafeteria all the time. It wasn't that bad.

"What movie do you want to watch?" Alex asked when we got back to our dorm room.

"I don't even know what's on Netflix. My dad never had it. He says too much of the content is 'sinfull'." I told him.

"Your dad sounds like a real hoot." He laughed.

"Oh, yeah, the best." I laughed back.

We spent the next twenty minutes or so scrolling through romcoms on Netflix, trying to find something suitable to watch. We settled on this movie called The Kissing Booth, which was about this girl who was in love with her best friends older brother, but wasn't allowed to date him.

"Sound familiar?" Alex had laughed after we watched the trailer.

"Yeah, except we could get in actual trouble if people find out about us." I joked.

Once we picked the movie, we settled in on the couch. I layed my head on Alex's shoulder and he put his arm around me, and we were holding hands. We sat there and watched the first, like, half and hour contently, and then we got to talking.

"So, do you think we'll ever got to live in a world where we don't have to hide?" I asked Alex. "I mean, here, in this school, we can't be who we really are with anyone but each other."

"Yeah, it sucks." Alex said, "But I hope someday we can run away from this hell hole and go live together somewhere where we can be together, out in the open. It's not like either of us has anything keeping us here."

"Yeah, seriously." I said, truly meaning it.

We just talked and watched the movie for the rest of the night, and eating our stolen desserts. And, I couldn't help but wonder if I'll ever get my happily ever after with Alex.

(A/N - Wasn't this chapter cute? Anyway, The Kissing Booth is an actual movie on Netflix, and it's really good. I highly recommend it. Don't forget to review!)
