James Pov
        Do you know how many times in the past month, yes only month, that I've had to tell my roommate to stop smoking? Me neither! Because it's like, a million times! Jefferson has stopped hanging out with him due to rivalry in class, which kind of disappointed me because he was quite hot. And about the smoking thing...I think I have an idea.
      REMEMBER THAT IDEA? THAT IDEA WAS A BAD IDEA. So this is what happened. While Alex was in class, I found a drawer with his cigarettes right? And then I took them and threw them out thinking like 'Wow now he'll be cleansed.' So anyways he came back and then I think he went a little insane. When he asked me about it and I told him I did nothing he looked so confused. Then of course him being the organized little fucker he is found more cigarettes. Which made me a tad upset. Which led me to getting smoke in the freaking face. Then I had an asthma attack. Alexander didn't know what to do so he got Thomas because Thomas also has asthma? I don't know. Maybe it's because it's the only person in the goddamn world who thinks Alexander is, and I quote 'alright-ish. A little insane, but alright.'
So Thomas comes over and ends up staying with me! Woop! Sounds like a win on my part right? Hot guy staying with James right? No because the next freaking day Alexander came home with this girl trying to throw herself onto him.....turns out this girl, is Thomas Jefferson's girlfriend. So then Thomas left. But not before yelling at Alexander though he did actually, nothing. But what he yelled at Alexander I thought was surprising and not true. But based off look on Alexander's face, it was true. He yelled "YOU GODDAMNED STUPID BASTARD! GO BACK TO THE SHITHOLE YOU CAME FROM YOU LITTLE IMMIGRANT ORPHAN!"
And then Alexander's look of sear disappointment was what made me think that what Thomas said, was true. So yeah. Bad idea.
         Anyways, Thomas is my partner for the upcoming debate. Alexander of course is on the opposing side. I think he's with John Jay for it. I wasn't paying attention. When you have Thomas as your partner, it's hard to pay attention.
        I heard a knock at the door. Alexander got up and opened it.
"C-Conner?" I heard him say. Well that's the first time I've heard him stutter. This deserves checking out. I saw Alexander staring at the person at the door. Who I think is Conner. I whispered to Alex
"Are you just going to stare at him?"
"I don't know how to feel right now, shut up." he snapped back. Then I heard screaming from down the hallway and pretty soon there were three boys on the ground in front of us. "Evan? Jared? Conner? Why are you guys here?" Alex asked.
"Welp we haven't seen our best friend since sophomore year so we decided to stop by and look at the college boy." One of them said.
"And boy have you changed." Conner said.
"Do you smoke?" Conner asked. Alex nodded. Then Conner put his hands on Alex's shoulders and said
"Young one, It is not worth it." Alexander who is obviously unamused said "We are the same age."
              "Yeah but you are short."
"JARED." The three said.
Alexander shot me a look that said 'Help me.' So I said the first thing that came in my head.
          "What's the capital of New Jersey? I think it's Arizona!" I said closing the door. Alexander looked pissed off.
"Who were they?" I asked. He sighed. "High school friends. Everybody loves those." He said walking to his room.
        "Hey do you want to hang out with Thomas?" Huh?
"Cuz He said if you do, to meet him at Starbucks, 10:30 tomorrow."
"Am or Pm?" I asked.
"Which do you fucking think Sherlock." He said. "Language."
"English." He smirked and closed his door. Man, he always has something to say, doesn't he?
        I grabbed some stuff  and started to go out the door when a panicked Alexander ran on top of me. Then he sprinted to his room. He had people following him. I sighed. They can kill him for all I care just don't mess up my room. I picked up my things and left the dorm.
          I sat down and waited for Thomas. I fiddled with my fingers and waited. He finally showed up.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"I'm only ten minutes late, chill." He said.
"That's ten minutes too many." I said. "Why'd you want to talk to me?" I asked.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "I....uh....assumed that you didn't want to be around Alexander much longer so...uh...yeah." He said. I sighed
"Well, you've got that right. He is.....interesting." I said. 
"Yeah."
We sat in silence. "Well also because your kind of cute but whatever." He said, staring at his drink. Am I dreaming? I heard screaming outside.  
         And Alexander flew by, papers leaving a trail behind him, with a few guys chasing him. What the...? Whatever.
"So....you said cute?" I asked.
"Don't push it." He says.
"Well your not too bad yourself" I said smiling. He took a sip of his drink out a small paper down and left. Inside the paper, was his phone number.
