John POV.
"Hey laf, where are you??" I said over the phone "yea but you never said what dorm you would be at.. wait you're just next door?.. we'll why didn't you say that early.. be there in a few" I ended the call and got my jacket while closing the door and heading down the hall. I can't believe my 2 best friends were right next door, herc is me room mate but he just disappeared and didn't say were he was going.
I knocked at the door and a tall laf opened the door for me.. "mon ami, been so long.. come in come in. Welcome to the new place" laf had a thick French accent and most of the time you would barely understand what he said, didn't make it easier that he spent the summer in France.
"Ayeee john John has arrived!! Finally. He was driving me crazy about how everyone in France was soooo nice and everything was just soooo beautiful and he felt soooo at home.." I could tell that herc wasn't all that pleased with what laf told him about France. Ha he probably thinks laf found another boy toy all the way across the world.
You see herc had the biggest crush on laf, and laf has the biggest crush on herc. I know this because well they told me, each, separately. And I vowed to not tell the other one since I am a good friend. I want to tell them so bad but I can't. I would be breaking my promise, and I sorta hope that if I don't tell them, they won't exclude me once they do get together.. I know how fucked up. But they are all I have.. I feel so dependent and I hate it. One day I will come clean and that day isn't today.
"No worries herc, I'm here and I'm queer." I'm not lying. I'm pretty fucking gay. And I'm single so it doesn't really help that my best friends are madly in love. "Laf don't you have a room mate?"
"Oui, but he hasn't arrived yet. Some nerd from out of state.. is that why they paired us. Since we are both out of state or out of country in my case??" We all exchange glances and then bust out in a fit of laughter. God I missed these guys. This year was gonna be different, a good different. Funny because that's what we say every year..
"Any ways, let's see what's on tv." I grab the control and flip through the channels. Seen that, read the book, watched that, saw that, ouuu.. a documentary, about what though "Hey laf, what is this documentary about?"
"You think I have a clue? Mon ami, I haven't even turned the tv on since I got here. Just watched it a find out? Oui" sassy French man, jeez I was just asking. It seemed a bit interesting as I saw. "Herc, do you think the new roommate will be nice to us? Or will be be a jerk like the Jefferson's team" laf seemed a bit more concerned about the new guy then the rest of us.
"Lafayette, I have no idea. I think we'll just have to wait and see." Herc tried to reassure him but it never goes as planned. Laf ended up getting really really scared about the new guy. I mean I don't blame him, he's his new room mate for God's sake, he might be spending the next 4 years with this guy.
"Herc I'm scared.. I don't want to have a bully for a roommate.. or a murder.. but you know a chef would be nice, or a nice guy. Mon ami? That sounds better oui" Herc and I glared at each other and knew what was going.. and ongoing rant about what the new guy could and couldn't be, I think I might just be prepared for it.
"Laf I'm sure everything will be fine, it's not like you'll be sleeping in the same room with these new guy for the next 4 years..." a bit of silence filled the room "oh wait. You will" I fell in to a bit of laughter and laf walked over and turned the tv off so all our attention would be on him.
"Guys I'm serious.. I mean what if this guy is better then me and youguysforget aboutmeand wenevertalkagainandidiealone" he caught his breath and started to hold the the wall so he wouldn't lose balance.. oh god, seemed as laf was really worked up about this new guy.
"Laf chill, how bad could this new guy possibly be. If they accepted him here he can't possibly be on a killing spree so at least you won't die.. does that make you feel any better?" Herc seemed to come prepared for this rant too, I hope we can put this to rest before it get even more out of hand.
"What if the new dude is nicer then more or- oh god no- what if he's cuter then me?" Laf gasped at the end of his sentence as if it was o horrible.
"Yo Herc, bet 10 that the new guy is hotter then laf?" If laf was gonna be extra, i was gonna have fun with it.. Herc threw a pillow at me and I caught it.. of course Herc wouldn't bet. He's madly in love with laf!! I got a good blush out of him tho. Worth IT!!
"John. Don't say this like that.. I'm scared he will be hotter then me." I can't believe he took me seriously. I was only joking, jeez when will they lighten up.
"Don't worry, everything will turn out just fine, can you trust me on that?" Herc really wanted to reassure him and just watch a movie. But no I won't let them off this easy, I gotta have fun too.
"Laf, you're right. What if I fall deeply in love with him, what if he's a jerk, what if he breaks my heart and I die alone." I tried my best to look like I was deep in thought but I was try soooo hard not to laugh. "Hahaha laf he might be cute but you'll be fine." Herc threw the last pillow he could reach in my direction.. I took the pillow I could reach and threw it towards the door so he wouldn't throw them at me..
"What if the new guy is cuter then me Herc?" Laf sounded like he was on the verge of tears.. the door opens and the pillow i threw hit some guy ... SHIT OF FUCK WHAT DID I DO GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION JACK..
"Shit! Sorry, ah fuck man! My bad.. I didn't mean to, I just" I felt my face heat up. I can't believe I just did that. Shit. I look up at this new guy and oh holy fuck. Wow. WOW. He just.. wow. Look at him. Any one else looking.. god. What did god create.. how did god create. Whatever he is I want a bite.. I should stop starring.. everything everyone said seemed to blur out, all I could focus on was him.. the small flyaway hairs he had and his small dark brown almost black eyes.. his long black hair that seemed to be pulled back..
"..Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton..." What an amazing name.. I looked at the floor and thought about everything that just happened.. he hates me. I spilled his hot chocolate, I hope it want hot..
After a while of thinking, Herc nudged me and I just "Oh shit, sorry again for the drink.. I'm Laurens. Well John Laurens.." spoke. We held eye contact once again and I started to heat up.. he looked away.. STRAIGHT!!! STRAIGHT!!!! Straighter then his hair. Straighter then anything!! He is declared s t r a i g h t.
"Nice to meet you all.. where could I get washed up? And let my stuff down?" His voice was sooo soft and wow.. but straight. We all point at the spare bed and then the washroom.. and off he goes..
I gave Herc a look and I silently screamed at both of them... I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE WAS THE NEW GUY... I can't wait for the rest of my life.. wait no. s t r a i g h t. Ugh.
I'm sorry for the long wait.. I had to deal with end of the school year stuff.. this was a decent chapter and I promise I will try to upload a bit more over the summer. I have a bit more time to just write, whenever I want wherever I want. Thanks for reading :)
