I'm Willing To Wait For You (A Hamilton College AU)

Chapter 10

The One Where They Get Caught
Alex's P.O.V

The next  few weeks were a blur of cuddle sessions, tickle fights, and yes, kisses.

In Professor Washington's class we were supposed to be listening to a lecture. Me and John were passing notes back and forth to each other. He slides a note to me and I try to read it inconspicuously.

Hey love <3
                     - John

I smile and write back.

Stop flirting and do your work babe.
                    -Alex

I slide the note back and attempt to continue my notes. When he opens it a smile creeps on his face. What is he thinking?

He scribbles something quick on the paper. Just as he is about to pass the note Professor Washington turns around. He walks up to us with and outstretched hand. John reclutently hands us the note. I get nervous because Washington has been to read notes out loud.

He opens the note, and as he scans it his eyebrow raises.

"Mr. Laurens and Mr. Hamilton, meet me after class", he says and walks back up to the board.

Me and John share a look of embarrassment. What did John write, I wonder. Washington took the note away before I could read it.

For the remainder of the class I had trouble focusing  on the lesson. My eye kept reverting back to black clock on the wall. I was dreading the end of this period.

As the class ends everyone else clears out pretty quickly. Soon me and John are the only ones left.

Washington motioned for us to come forward.

"I'm disappointed in both of you. Two of my most promising students passing notes during a lecture. Might I remind you, this lecture contains notes for your final. Now, I didn't read the note out loud because I have never had a problem out of you two before, but I refuse to be accused of having favorites. If this happens again, not only will I read it out loud, but there will further consequences. Do I make myself clear?", he ask.

We both nod.

"Good. You are dismissed", he says.

As we turn to leave he speaks up again.

"Oh and Mr. Laurens", he calls from his desk. We both turn around.

"If you are going to right notes in my class, try to keep them PG", he says with a knowing smirk. John's face turns visibly red.

We walk out the classroom. John embarrassed, and me confused. What did John write that wasn't "PG".

Trying, and most likely failing, to act casual I said, "So, that was intense. What was he talking about right before we left?"

"Oh, uh, nothing", he responds quickly.

I can tell he's lying but I drop it. Instead I grab his hand and lay my head his shoulder, and we walk back to the dorm.

Peggy's P.O.V

"Liza!", I scream, chasing after my sister.

"GIVE IT BACK!", I yell.

She dangles my phone in front of me.

"Not until you tell me who you've
been texting. Does someone have a booooyyyyfriend?" she says.

Trust me it's not a boy I'm texting.

"Elizabeth Schuyler, mind your own danm business and give me my phone", I say. This just causes her to hang my phone above her head. I jump up and down, trying to reach it. Danm my hight.
