It was now 9am and we were heading to our first class. Luckily Karl and I have most of our classes together today. We both major in media studies so we head to the back of the class and grab two seats.The class fills quite quickly, followed by the teacher. Today we had an 'introduction to media studies' so basically just a boring lecture. I turn around to ask Karl to play Xs and Os when I realise he's completely zoned out.
I look over at what he's staring at and realise the brunette with the beanie from the assembly is a few rows ahead of us. I guess that's the one Karl was staring at. This time he's alone, no blonde to accompany him.
"Does Karl have a bit of a crush?" I tease, dragging him out of his thoughts. "Shut up" he teases back, before returning to his staring. "You should talk to him after class." I encourage. Karl just hums in response, clearly being distracted.
The class goes slower than I thought physically possible, but eventually at 11:00am the bell rings to inform us the class has ended. I slowly get up, gathering my things, ready to ask Karl where he wants to go on our break when I notice he's gone.
I scan the room looking for him, eventually I spot him nervously talking to the boy in the beanie as they laugh together. I watch the whole interaction, I've never seen the shy side of Karl. Eventually they exchange numbers and Karl comes back over, practically skipping with joy.
....................................................................................
During our break Karl had told me absolutely everything about the boy he met, Alex. He had been texting him the whole time aswell, I'm glad he found someone that makes him so happy so soon.
The rest of the day had been very uneventful. I decided to stay back and study a bit in the library, but really I just pulled out his book and moved to the next page. 30th August 2018:
' It was my first day of school today, it was okay I guess. I couldn't get this boy out of my mind. He was so perfect. He had brown hair, brown eyes and was extremely small. Cute. I always knew I was bi but he just confirms it. I've never liked a boy as much as I like him already. We didn't have any classes together today. But hopefully I'll meet him soon. He's so perfect. Nothing like anyone I've ever met before. I've never felt this feeling, I've never let myself love. My mum always told me not to make attachments to people, but I couldn't control this. He'll be mine.
See you tomorrow cute boy.'It was all a bit weird. As if I'm reliving his life. I wonder who he was talking about, it made me a little jealous for some reason. I decided I should probably go back to the dorm before I let my emotions get out of control again.
....................................................................................
As I got to the door it bursted open, Karl ran out slamming it behind him. "GEORGE!" He shouted as he grabbed my wrist and continued to run down the halls, dragging me behind him.
We made it to another door, this one saying 487. "Karl where are we?" I asked curiously. Instead of replying, Karl knocked on the door. The door opened and the boy in the beanie appeared. I sighed realising I had been brought here to third wheel.
"KARL!" Alex beamed. Just as much energy as Karl, great. "KARL!" Another voice rang from inside. "Hi" Karl giggled. He looked happy as the other boy emerged and pulled Karl into a hug. I recognised him to be the boy beside Alex in assembly. "Hey, I want to cuddle Karl" Alex said while faking pouting from behind the two. Looks like I'm here to fourth wheel.
They finally calmed down and noticed me standing awkwardly in hall. "Oh hi, you must be George" Alex stated. "Come in." "Um.. thanks. To be honest I have no idea what's happening, Karl just saw me in the halls and dragged me here without saying anything." Karl giggled: "yeah sorry about that."
"Then you probably don't know who I am." The other boy said awkwardly. "I'm Nick, you can call me Sap though" "Sap?.. okay, and you're Alex right. Karl won't shut up about." My sentence was cut short by Karl hitting my arm and Alex giggling. "Sorry." I apologised.
A door was heard opening from another room inside the dorm. Everyone turned to face it and Sap murmured a small: "oh no." "Why are you guys so fucking loud." The boy said groggily as he appeared from around the corner. The blonde. Our eyes met and he immediately perked up. "Who's this?" He questioned, slinging an arm around Sap's shoulder. Wow he really is tall.
"Um hi, I'm Karl and this is George. Sorry if we were too loud." Karl said nervously. "Hmm George, I'm going to call you Georgie instead." The blonde decided. "Eh, no you're not." I replied with an attitude. "Sassy are we? Whatever you say Georgie." And with that the blonde disappeared back into his room.
"Who was that?" I ask curiously. "Clay, but I'd call him Dream he hates when people use his real name." Sap informed me. "And I think he has a little crush~" Alex cooed, a little louder than intended. "Shut up Quackity" was heard coming from the other room.
"Quackity?" Karl asked while laughing. "Shut up, he refuses to call me anything else, even Sap calls me Q." He replied with a huff. Karl and Sap giggled. "Anyway who's ready to get wasted!" Sap beamed, getting excited.
....................................................................................
It's been one day at this school and here I am in someone else's dorm room, quite tipsy, watching three drunk boys cuddle while watching a movie. It was all going fine until they started kissing. I quickly left the room heading to the bathroom before it went any further.
I lock the door and turn around to be met with green eyes staring me down instead of a toilet like I expected. Usually I would apologise and leave, but with a mixture of my loneliness, drunkness and him teasing me earlier, I decide to stay.
I jumped on his bed sitting criss-cross excitedly. "Hi clay~" I teased while looking around. His bed was massive, I looked tiny on it. "Get out Georgie" he replied bluntly. "No." I said while crossing my arms, pouting and shaking my head.
I expected him to fight it but instead he simply picked me up and sat me on his lap. "Hi" I giggled, looking into his eyes. "Hi" he chuckled back. He stood up and I latched onto him like a kola. There was no getting rid of me and he knew it.
He carried me back out to the three boys that have returned to just cuddling. They all looked up and burst into laughter seeing the position we were in. I didn't care though, it was comfortable and he smelt like roses.
"I think you lost one" he said, attempting to put me down. I just tightened my grip. "Georgie let go." "Don't call me that." I retaliated without making any attempt of letting go.
After a few more attempts he sat down on the sofa, maintaining our previous position. I looked in his eyes before snuggling my face into the crook of his neck. He giggled and the three boys awed. I soon drifted off to sleep on the blonde's lap.
