The question

(Johns pov)

I was waiting outside Peggy's door, when I heard Peggy say something muffled. I put my ear on the door to hear," like john?"

"Well he's really cute, nice, and funny but I barely know him." I hear Alex say to Peggy.

I feel my face and ears heat up immensely. I knock on the door to see if they are done.

"Come in," Peggy responds.

I slowly open the door, my eyes glued on the ground. I walk in and sit next to Alex on the bed.

"H-hi again," I whisper at Alex.

He smiled and waves back at me.

"Well this is awkward, I'm gonna get some chips be right back," Peggy's voice said breaking some tension.

"S-so what did you talk about?" I asked Alex, looking up.

"Oh, you know, stuff," Alex stammered.

Alex nervously started rubbing his hands together. We sat in the most awkward silence I have ever experienced in my life. After about 2 very long minutes Peggy FINALLY walked in with a bag of cool ranch Doritos in her hand and three cans of pop in the other.

"I'm back!" Peggy sang as she plopped down on her bed.

"What took so long! The kitchen is really close!" I asked Peggy as she looked out her window into the back yard, "Yo what's wrong?"

Peggy was looking longingly at the pool, she sighed, "It's Eliza's girlfriend. She's super nice but there's something wrong about her. Yesterday when she came over she had a bruise on her face, she said she ran into a pole but I don't buy it,"

Peggy seemed genuinely concerned like she really cared about her more than a friend. Weird. Peggy faced us again and smiled tossing Alex and me a pop.

"Anyway, I'm here to have fun, she's Eliza's girlfriend not mine! Anyways have some root beer and chips, let's live a little!" Peggy exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh! I've never had root beer before! Is it full of alcohol? I don't really want alcohol," Alex asked me and Peggy, staring at the can.

Peggy and I just stared at him in disbelief. How had he not have had pop! He's at least 18! Wow he has to try it. I reached over and motioned for Alex's pop. He handed it to me and I cracked it open and handed it back to him. He reluctantly took a sip of the carbonated, brown liquid. His eyes went wide, and he downed some more.

"This is so good!" Alex exclaimed happily, drinking more of his root beer.

Peggy and I just laughed at his childish behaviour. Before I knew it, it was midnight and I was tired, and by the looks of it Alex was too. I waved to Peggy, Alex and I said our goodbyes and went back to our dorm. We both passed out instantaneously on both of our beds.

(The next day)

I opened my eyes to the bright lights of the hallway, I look over to the other bed in the room to find it empty. I could smell breakfast cooking in the kitchen. I got up and out of bed and walked into the kitchen to find Laf cooking with hercs arms around lafs waist, kissing his neck, and Alex was hunched over his laptop at the table.

"Hey! Breakfast smells amazing," I say to Laf.

Alex turned his head to look at me," morning laurens," he exclaimed. He sounded super tired

I sit at the table across from Alex and peer into the kitchen to see herc and laf cooking breakfast together. They are such a cute couple!

"Laf! When's breakfast?" I screamed, banging my fists on the table.
