Accidental Roommates (Inspired by Red, White & Royal Blue)

SPICY (Henry's POV)

Henry’s POV

  I hate it when everyone thinks that I am weak, that I can’t make it alone, that I can never take care of myself.

I ran away from home to prove them that they’re all so wrong, that I can stand up on my own and that I can make it even without anyone’s help.

But ever since I’ve known Alex, I don’t know, but.. I’m enjoying the attention I get from him. I didn’t like it when everyone’s babysitting me, but I’m enjoying it everytime Alex is taking care of me and making me feel like I’m a baby.

  What on earth is the meaning of this, Henry? I always ask myself.

I don’t know why am I feeling this, but.. I like it.

  I am at the school clinic right now to have my foot checked.

If I were to ask, I wouldn’t want to go here because I’m already feeling fine, my foot doesn’t hurt as much like last night.

But Alex insisted that I still should have it checked by a professional and even if how much I refused his suggestion, he didn’t listen to me.

And so, I’m at the clinic as of the moment and he accompanied me.

I was trying so hard to stop myself from smiling as the school doctor tells Alex the things I should and shouldn’t do for the meantime while recovering and if when I should take the medicines she prescribed for me.

And she’s making it more look like Alex is my guardian.

  “How much do I have to pay?” I asked the school doctor after my check up.

   She shook her head. “You don’t have to pay anything. Just consider this as a.. compensation for the trouble the school have made you both on your first day here.” Then she smiled.

I smiled too while thinking,

  Out of all the trouble I have experienced in my entire life, I guess.. that one is my favorite.

  “What are you smiling about?” Alex asked me when we’re walking back to the dorm, he’s holding me up to support me, making sure that I will not put too much weight on my right foot.
