(I'm so sorry this is such a short chapter but if I continued on it would get wayyyyyyy too long)

John PV:
  During third period, which was math class, I couldn't stop thinking about Alexander. It was one of the only classes I didn't have with him along with science and art. I looked over at the clock. Only 10:37 and I wouldn't see him again until lunch. But still, this gave me time to plan for the date I wanted to take him on tonight. Neither of us really like getting fancy and dressed up, so instead I was planning on a drive in movie theater playing Moana.
  Once I got back to the dorm he was already sitting on his bed, typing away like he always is. Just another thing I love about him is the way he's always writing like he's running out of time. I picked up his laptop from his lap and put it on the nightstand next to his bed. I sat next to him.
"Alex, I have a plan for a date."
He did his dorky smile again. "Okay," he said, "when will it be?"
"Like and hour from now. But don't sweat! It's nothing fancy. Just a movie."
"Okay," he said and then went back to typing after kissing my cheek.
  About 45 minutes later, I grabbed his hand and led him out the door. I took him into my Subaru and drove to the theater. We got the tickets, parked my car, and then got some snacks to nibble on during the movie. I noticed him getting nervous during the storm scene. I looked over at him and saw tears forming in his eyes. I set down my popcorn and put my hand on his.

Alex PV:
  Once John put his hand on top of mine, I felt much safer. I looked over at my love with tears still in my eyes and swallowed hard. We stared at each other, completely disregarding the movie for a good minute and a half until he pulled me in for a kiss.
  It was the first time we had ever kissed and I felt sparks shooting throughout my entire body. It was completely electrifying. I could practically feel wind blowing through my hair! It felt like fireworks were exploding around us. It wasn't filled with lust. No, it was filled with love and emotion! Our lips moved in sync. This was the single best moment of my life thus far. In that moment, nothing mattered except for John and me. We both pulled away at the same time for air, and just smiled when we opened our eyes and saw each other. After our big kiss, we just continued to watch the movie, and once it ended John drove home.
  When we were back at the dorm room I changed into a pair of sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt. John also changed into new clothes to sleep in. I looked over at him and instead of grabbing my computer and typing in bed like I did every night before, I laid down next to him and hugged him gently until we both fell asleep.
  I didn't want to tell John what I was writing about all the time because I thought it was embarrassing. But I had actually been writing about my life everyday. I wrote about John and my new friends. I couldn't wait to write about the story of tonight.
