When Thomas and James had entered the school together, the last thing they were expecting was to see someone they thought they'd never see again. "Charles Lee?!" Charles turned around when he heard his name and frowned. 

"You're back?" James asked, completely astonished. "Yeah...?" Charles smiled a bit at James, but was still frowning at Thomas. Someone else was with him, it was Aaron Burr. He placed his hand on Charles' shoulder softly. 

"Hey, I'm sorry for everything I did, I mean it." Thomas started, grabbed Charles' arm. "I am a complete ass. I'm so sorry, everything will be different now." Charles looked skeptical at first, so he glanced at James, who nodded and genuinely smiled. "It's fine, Thomas..." he smiled slightly. 

"How are you and Samuel?" James asked, walking down the hall with Charles, Thomas and Aaron. Charles visibly tensed and inhaled sharply. "About him... W-we're not together anymore..." he said quietly. James made an 'o' shape with his mouth and nodded bit. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine" Charles said quickly. Then the bell rang, and Aaron grabbed Charles, making him blush and smile. "I'll see you later-" Charles tried but Aaron had pulled him away. James just chuckled. 

"Thomas!" 

Both boys stopped walking and turned around, only to see another person they didn't expect to see.

"Demyx!!" Thomas squealed quietly as Demyx ran over to him and engulfed him into a hug. James felt a small pang of jealousy when he saw how tight Thomas was holding the boy. He scowled a bit. "Where are you going?" Thomas asked, grabbing the schedule from his hands. "Mr. Washington!"

"That's my first class too!" Thomas' curls bounced as he jumped just a tiny bit. James was beung ignored as he followed the two to their class, which James had as well. He felt more pangs of jealousy and sadness, and a few tears welled in his eyes when Thomas didn't even glance at him as they entered the classroom.

James had enough. Even though Thomas and Demyx were old friends, that still gave no right to the Virginian to ignore James like that. So, he cleared hia throat loudly to grab their attention. Thomas looked at him, smiling, then realized what he was doing and dropped his smile. "James! I'm so sorry!" 

Thomas rushed to cup James' face in his hands, rubbing his left cheek with his thumb. James tried to keep an angry expression, but failed so he ended up smiling. He looked at Demyx and saw what looked like hope die out in his turquoise eyes. James just shrugged it off and looked back at Thomas. "I'm sorry."

"Thomas, it's okay-" Thomas pulled James against his chest, hugging him tightly. James giggled a bit. He pulled away from the hug to steal a small peck from Thomas. Just then, Mr. Washington walked into the room and smiled at the boys. 

Thomas and Demyx ignored James again through the beginning of lunch. James huffed and rested his head against Thomas' shoulder, which gained no recognition. He sat up straight, more like gay lol, and talked to Lafayette, who now sat at their table because his other friends were horrible.

"James, I feel like this was planned." Lafayette said quietly, trying to interrupt the other boys' conversation. James cocked his head slightly. "Like, I think they were in on this, because I told them everything Thomas told me, including the things about this kid." James nodded a bit. "They might be trying to use him to get between you too."

James watched Demyx's movements carefully as he checked his phone. He had an anxious expression. "I've gotta go take care of something at the office real quick, I'll be back!" Shakily, and with a forced smile, he got up and walked out of the cafeteria

James thought this was suspicious, and Lafayette seemed to as well, because he got up and followed Demyx. But, James shrugged it off because he could finally talk to Thomas. "Tommy..." James said, pulling on Thomas' arm. Thomas spun around to face James. Thomas looked like he felt guilty but James just rolled his eyes and hooked his arms around the boy's neck, pulling him into a kiss.

"Just don't ignore me, okay?"

Thomas nodded and kissed James once more, not caring if anyone was watching.
