The Adams Administration

Chapter 3

The rest of lunch was filled with tears and 'whys' from Seabury. Seabury insisted that they hang out in the bathrooms behind the concession stand, after all they were the darkest bathrooms on campus. 

"John it was a mistake. He means so much to me but I messed up and now he-" Seabury's hiccups prevented him from saying any more. John sat down next to Seabury on the floor. 

"I know, I know... Do you want some gum?" Seabury nodded meekly as John searched through his backpack. John eventually found two sticks of Wrigleys double mint gum. 

"Here you go." John handed one of the sticks to Seabury as he brushed tears away from his cheeks. 

"You don't think he's going to start hanging out with the popular kids instead of us now. Right?" Seabury looked pitiful. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot. 

"He might hang out with us still, but you do know that you have to apologize." Seabury nodded and blew a bubble. The bathroom door swung open and a few nasty football players ran in. Seabury and John tried to ignore them but one buff guy strolled up to them. The guy spat a wad of tobacco onto the bathroom floor, adding to the griminess. 

"Hey fag, rumor has it that you like the Charles guy." His friends chuckled. Seabury stood up with  John. 

"Go some where." Seabury muttered looking at the floor. The football player laughed,

"What'd you say to me?" The guy looked to his friends right when the guy next to him pushed Seabury. Someone else walked into the bathroom, whistling. All five of them turned and looked at the guy, it was Sam. Sam strolled over to the mirror and pulled out a cigarette.

"I'm sorry was I interrupting?" Sam asked the football players smugly. He marched his way over to the football players.

"Get the fuck away from them." Sam whispered. The three football players gave a mutual nod and left without a fight. Sam approached John and Seabury, offering Seabury his hand. He smiled warmly,

"They should go fuck themselves." He helped Seabury up and gave him a slap on the back. 

"I'm Sam Adams, your name is?" 

Seabury smiled.

"Samuel Seabury." Both of them started laughing, John was mildly confused.

"Alright nice to meet you Sam!" Sam Adams grinned, Seabury hugged him.

"You too Sam!" John started to laugh with them. John liked seeing them smiling, talking. It was nice.

"So what brings you two into this bathroom?" Sam asked, directing Seabury and John outside into the fresh air. 

"Nothing." Seabury lied. Sam stopped walking,

"Well you guys weren't smoking pot in there. Why were you crying?" Sam raised an eyebrow. Seabury fiddled with his fingers.

"It was nothing." Seabury started to walk off. John was torn between going after his friend and basking in Sam's aura, he picked the latter. 

"So what brought you to the bathroom?" John chuckled inwardly. Sam shoved his hands in his pocket and dramatically took a step forward, 

"Well you know~ Just smoking..."

"You know that can kill you, right?" Sam stopped and turned around, he threw his arms out and grinned.

"Thats why I do it darlin'" John sighed and followed Sam to the cafeteria. Apparently Sam Adams hung out with a guy named Paul Revere. Paul was a thin, tall guy, his brunette hair cascaded down his shoulders in layers. John has heard rumors about this guy. Sam also hung out with two women who were both named Elizabeth nee. Of course one girl was Elizabeth nee Checkley and the other was Elizabeth nee Wells, they were sweet. Checkley was a smart girl who was often called the n word because of her race, while Wells was that go to girl for band-aids and glitter. John found himself comfortable with these people even if Paul brought attention to the table every three minutes.

"Sam!" Paul hollered at John and Sam when they were approaching the table. Checkley and Wells turned their attention to them. John smiled and waved at them even if they weren't talking to him. Paul jumped off of the table he was standing on to give Sam a bear hug. 

"Where have you been? Lunch is almost over! Don't worry Elizabeth² saved you a sandwich." Paul word vomited until he noticed John. 

"Hey dude whats your name?" John gave Paul an angry look and spat,

"John Adams." John didn't know why he was angry, he just was. Paul revere grinned, whispered something in Sam's ear, and ushered them to the table the girls were at. Wells or Elizabeth² waved at him. '

"Well John welcome to our table." Paul said climbing onto the table to toast to him.

"Is Paul always like this?" John asked nervously, He can get suspended for that right...

"Yeah he's crazy." Sam grinned and took a bite out of his sandwich. That's when John remembered that Sam smoked, Paul revere has a reputation, Charles was no longer his friend, and Seabury was alone somewhere. His friend group was falling apart and he couldn't do anything about it, I guess thats life...
