Chapter 7: The One Where He Says Yes
Alex's P.O.V

I groggily sit up from my bed and look around. John is on his bed sleeping peacefully. All I remember from last night was falling asleep during the movie and now I'm here. How did I get back to the room?

I get out of bed, contemplating this. I start to get ready for class, but then I realize, I don't have classes today.

Cool, I can just chill today.

Then I realize I don't know how to chill. So turn back to my bed and decide to write an essay on gender equality.

1 Hour Later

I put the last period on my essay and press save.

Beep Beep Beep

John shoots up out of bed when he hears his alarm. He looks around and see's me.

"Why aren't  you in class?", he ask, rubbing his eyes.

"Good morning to you too",  I say
"Sorry, but seriously. Shouldn't you be in class?", He ask.

"I don't have classes today", I respond.

"Oh, ok", he says. He gets up and stretches.

"I'm gonna take a shower ", he calls from the bathroom.

"Mkay",  I reply.

15 minutes later he walks out the bathroom.  Shirtless.

Danm.

"Have seen my blue Polo? I forgot to get it before I took a shower", he ask.

"What? Oh, I think it's in the drawer", I say, trying to keep my eyes off of him.

I'm not going to lie.  He's hot.  I mean he's hot with his clothes on, let alone with them off. Wonder if I can get him to forget his pants.

Oh shit.

I awkwardly cross my legs and put my hands in my lap as he pulls out his shirt.

"Here it goes. Thanks", he say cheerily, the turns to me.

"Hey Alex, are you ok? You look uncomfortable", he ask sounding genuinely concerned.

"Uh yeah, I'm good.", I say. I shift and cross my legs tighter.

"You sure?", he ask, still shirtless.

"Yup. I just, uh, gotta stomach ache. I'll be fine. You should go. So you're not late for class, I mean", I say hurriedly.

"Ok but text me if you need anything", he says. Finally, he slips his shirt on.

"Sure thing", I say.

He walks out the door,
to go to class and as I watch him leave I am relieved and disappointed.

John's  P.O.V

I think about Alex through all my classes. I think about his eyes, his hair, his personality. I think about earlier today and wonder what was wrong. I hope he's not getting sick. Maybe I just made him feel uncomfortable while my shirt was. I didn't mean too. I mean he's obviously straight. An even if he wasn't, he's not into me. In the future I'll be more conscious of that.

I'm thinking about Alex when the door to the class swings open suddenly. I would have been startled if this didn't happen every day.

Behold, the ultimate fuck boy.

"What'd I miss?", says Jefferson strolling in to the class.

"All of the notes you need for your up coming test. Jefferson, if you don't show up to my class on time you are going to fail", says Professor Franklin.
