The feelings that are coursing through my veins are indescribable. I'm afraid that Lafayette and Hercules could hear my heart trying to jitter out of my own chest. We walk down the crowded halls of the Communications Building where our debate class in Room 2812 is located.
"Mon ami," Lafayette purred, "You've seem agitated all morning."
"Yeah, your face has been red all morning," Hercules added on, intertwining his fingers with Lafayette's.
"I'm fine," I said, shaking my head in denial.
"What's been on your mind? Don't lie," Lafayette says, facing towards me.
"It's nothing, dude!" I snap, and Lafayette lurches back.
"Feisty today, aren't you?" Hercules surmises, smirking.
"He's going through a breakup," Lafayette informed Hercules as if I was not standing right here. "He's having hormones."
"What?" I yelp, "Having hormones? What the fuck does that even mean?"
"He means you haven't gotten laid in a while," Hercules corrected him.
I scoff and roll my eyes. "Not every relationship is built on just sex, you know?"
"What type of life are you living?" Hercules chuckled.
"Hey, guys," I hear a voice say behind us. I turn around and see Angelica sulking with her many textbooks in hand.
"Angie! Ma copaine! Comment ça-va?" ("Angie! My dear friend! How are you?" for ya guys that don't speak french ;))
"Ça va comme se comme sa," She sniffled. ("I'm doing alright, not that great, though.")
"Um, English, please?" Hercules requested which made us all giggle lightly.
"Are you alright?" I quietly ask her putting my hand on her shoulder. She flashes a toothy grin that I know is fake.
"I'm doing okay, John," She says, "You don't have to worry about me."
Suddenly, a streak of red lipstick and a blue sundress flashes past us.
"There goes Maria and Eliza," Hercules laughed as they stopped in their tracks.
"Hey," Maria panted, doubling over.
"What are you guys doing?" Angelica asked, handing Eliza her water bottle.
"Training," Eliza answered after taking a long swig of water.
"It's almost track season?" I asked.
"Not until the next two months," Maria replied, "The seniors always try to show off and beat us. We have to get that first place spot at tryouts to win over the coach's heart."
"Nice!" Angelica said, high fiving Maria.
We all stand in a small huddle in the side of the hall. I look over Hercules head to see a familiar puff of hair.
Ew, it's Thomas fucking Jefferson.
He was still bruised black and blue from his beat down at the strip club. His nose was slight disfigured now, and I hope it'll stay that way for a long time.
"Ah, fuck," Eliza muttered, holding Maria's hand. Lafayette and Hercules did the same.
God, I wish Alex was holding my hand right now.
"Don't worry; he won't do anything. Especially after that night at the strip."
But to Hercule's dismay, as Thomas strolled past our group, he muttered a faint but noticeable "fag" under his breath.
