The Colors of Pride []Lams[]

Color Three

Purple: A mix of Red and Blue, traditionally a royal color to symbolize status.

Alexander's POV:

He had curly hair. And stars on his cheeks. All in all he was perfect. And now I had to sit across the room from him. John Laurens. Oh boy what you do to me. Anyway, I tried very hard to pay attention to the Science teacher, Ms. Stevie. She already seemed like an AMAZING teacher, even though I haven't even spent 10 minutes in this class. I looked over at Vienna and saw her smiling at some kid named Vincent. Hmm. Vincenna. Or Vivi. Ships!!!

But I'm getting ahead of myself. I looked up at the white board and copied down everything I missed in the five minutes I spent day dreaming. It didn't take me long, seeing as writing is like breathing for me. I try to focus on what the teacher is saying, but my thoughts keep wandering back to John. John and his freckled face, John and his brilliant smile. I look over at him, trying to sneak a peek, but I see he's already looking at me. We both glance away awkwardly, and I feel my heart flutter. Oh for gosh sakes Alex pull yourself together!!!

"Alex, can you tell me what the power house of the cell is?" Ms. Stevie asks, shocking me out of my day dreaming.

"Uh. The mitochondria. And I thought we were learning about ionic bonds?"

Ms. Stevie laughs. "Very good Alexander."

Hi y'all. It's me. Look, I UPDATED! Well kinda. My computer is broken and that's usually where I write and also... Ok as of this very moment I am lying in my bed contemplating whether or not to pop out my window screen and bike to a friends house because Lordy lord I can not stand my own home. It's 3 am. So things aren't exactly peachy in Emma Land. I'm trying not to let it show through but right now it's impossible to keep in. I'm trying so hard to write and keep up with my book but I just can't. I'll still be here readings and interacting but for now my creativity is just kaput. Also hey, I'm okish. Don't worry. I got you guys and my friends IRL and my internet friends and I will pull through god damn it!
