Third Person POV
Tony and Justin were standing in the middle of the room. Everyone was standing around drinking wine and chatting about law school. Tony walked up to another person in the room and said "Austin, darling! Thanks for hosting." Austin smiles back at the couple. "My pleasure." Austin replies. "We all need a break from law school anxieties and worrying about Preciado's internship." Tony said. Justin stood awkwardly off to the side. "You can say that again." Austin said while he filled their wine glasses before walking off to mingle off some more.
Tony turned to Justin after Austin walked away. "You do know Austin's father is next in line to be Speaker Of The House?" Justin nods at the comment. "So you've said." Justin says to dismiss Tony's comment. "Just think of it: Future Presidents may be in this very room." Tony says in awe. "I'm going to track down Alan Ashby and convince him he must join our study group. Apparently his summer house is three houses down from Justice Souter." Tony says excitedly. "Great, I'm gonna grab a beer." Justin said walking away from his boyfriend.
Kellin entered the room dressed like a playgirl bunny. Everyone turned to face him, Kellin looked around noticing Tony and his friends laughing at him. The realization hit him hard and fast, he had been set up. "WHOA Check out Mr. October!" A female student shouted at him. Kellin quickly regained his confidence and walked up to Justin.
Kellin bumped his shoulder. "Hi stranger." Justin's eyes about pop out of his head when he notices Kellin's costume. "Kellin! Man!...What's with the costume?" Justin asked appreciatively. "Can't a guy shake things up?" Kellin said borderline flirting with Justin. "Yeah, but why couldn't you have worn this when we were going out?" Justin asked looking him up and down. Kellin bopped his nose. "Because I guess you never asked." Kellin said confidently. Justin sighed.
"Which will now rank as the greatest regret of my entire life." Justin said smiling wide. "I still can't believe you're here at Harvard back at U.C.L.A. I never would've guessed it. Sometimes I miss the old days..." Kellin nodded in agreement. "Those parties senior year...I thought we ruled the world." Justin said. "You funneled all the beer and I held your head when you hurled." Kellin said smiling. Justin nodded and exclaimed, "We were like gods back then! Walking among common men. Tell me why can't it be that way again?" Justin asked. Kellin's eyes sparkled a bit when he heard this.
"Dreams don't just disappear, Justin. We could keep on dreaming them here!" Kellin exclaimed. This brought Justin back to reality. "...What?" Justin asked but Kellin was still lost in dream land. "Like senior year.....but funner! You've got your future all planned." Kellin explained excitedly. "Yes I do, Guess I do." Justin replied. "What if I'm standing there too?" Kellin asked. Justin stopped him. "Wait, I'm not following you." "I'm here 'cause I understand!" "Not sure I understand." Justin said confusedly.
"I'm here because I'm serious!" Kellin said. Justin laughs. "Yeah right...you look real serious Kells." Kellin took a step back and looked at him. "Justin, don't forget I got into this school, too. And now we're here together, studying law. Maybe we'll both get Callahan's internship and work together..." Justin cut him off. "Whoa. Wait a second. Kellin. You get kicked out of class, like, every day. You don't ACTUALLY believe you have a chance of getting the internship?" Justin asked. Kellin looked seriously hurt.
"Of course?" Kellin said his voice cracking. "Everyone in the class wants it; nobody more than me. It's a guaranteed career. You're practically partner before you have a job offer." Tony walked up and interrupted his boyfriend and Kellin's conversation. "Kellin. You're looking...fluffy. As usual." Tony said snidely. "Hello, Tony. Thanks for the great tip on the "costume party". I see you came as Last Year's Sample Sale." Kellin said pulling at the tie on Tony's suit.
"Pooh B-Kellin... You have to ace his course to get that internship and he's not called "C-Minus Preciado" for nothing." Justin said. "Justin, I am completely cognizant of both those facts." Tony laughed. "You're not going to make it through the semester, let alone get Callahan's internship." Tony said mocking Kellin. Kellin turned to them. "I'm sorry you see it like that, Tony." Kellin said walking out of the party with his head held high until he gave into despair.
