Lafayette POV

I speak with my friends: Alex, John and Herc.

I don't really have the habit of staying with them at recess, because usually I stay with my cousin.

But he did not wait for me at recess.

I look for him. I think my friends notice that I am a little elsewhere.

"Laf!" Herc said, moving his hand in front of my face.

"Wh... what?" I ask.

"What are you looking for?" Asks Alex.

"Nothing, nothing," I say, looking for Thomas.

"Laf, stop lying," John said.

I found him. He is with the new.

It's weird to see him hanging out with anyone other than me.

He seems to have fun that reassures me.

I see him smile which surprises me a little.

"Laf!"

I look at the new one. What's his name?

I am watching him. He is taller than Thomas.

It surprises me that my cousin gets on well with him. He always told me that he does not like people who are taller than him because he hates to look up on them.

I look at the new one to try to understand why my cousin likes this guy.

He looks...nice and...

"Laf !!!!" Alex said shaking me. I look at him confused.

"What ???"

"I dream? Or you are watching the new one? "Asks Alex.

"Yes, so what?" I ask. They look at each other. I roll my eyes.

"How is his name?" I ask.

"Why do you want to know?" Asks John. I groan.

"Well, I'm going to ask him since you do not want to answer me," I said, going to them.

I go to them and wave them.

Thomas does the same and the new one does it right after.

"Hello," I say.

Hi Laffy, "Thomas said.

"Hi, are you Tommy's brother?" Asks the new one. I look at him confused.

"Tommy?" I ask. Thomas blushed.

"Yes, I gave him a nickname. It's cute, is not it? "Asks James.

"Shut up!" Thomas said. I'm starting to laugh. I nod.

"Yes, I find that nickname cute," I say.

"Laffy !!!" says Thomas. I laugh even more.

"And we're not a brother, but a cousin," I said. He nods.

"Is your name Laffie?" Asks James. I shake my head.

"No, it's a nickname Thomas gives me. My name is...my name is rather long. You can call me Lafayette, " I said. He nods. He hands me his hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm James, but you already know that, " He said with a smile. I nod.

No, I forgot your name.

"Nice to meet you James," I said.

"Are you...French?" He asks. I nod.

"Cool," He said.

"I'm talking a little about it too," Thomas said.

I laugh. I'm pretty sure he wants James to notice it.

It shows that he appreciates it.

James strokes his hair. Thomas mouse.

Weird...when I touch his hair, he gets angry at the fact that I've disheveled him.

But with James. He acts differently.

"Hey! and if you two come to my dormitory? "I ask. Thomas looks at me bored.

"Oka..."

"No," Thomas said, crossing his arms.

"Why do not you want?" Asks James.

"Because there are Hercules," Thomas said.

"Who is he?" Asks James.

"It is a friend. Thomas does not really like my friends. " I said.

"I do not like them and neither do they," Thomas said.

"I could ask him to leave," I said.

"Are you okay?" Asks James to Thomas.

"Yes. But I do not want you to lie to me! " Said Thomas afraid that I'm taking him into a trap. I shake my head.

"Do not worry. I'm not lying, "I say.

"Are you swearing me?" Thomas asks.

"I swear to you," I said.

"Cool! Do you want to come by what time? "Asks James.

"The end of classes are you ok?" I ask.

"Yes and you Tommy?" James asks Thomas.

"Ok, but not directly. We go to our dormitory before coming to your home, Laf. "Thomas said.

"OK cousin," I said.

"Are you friends?" I ask.

"Yes!" Said James, smiling. Thomas nods.

Hercules POV

Laf did just watch the new one.

He is in love with him ???

No. It is not possible.

But if he is really in love with him ???

I see him laughing with the new guy and his cousin.

I watch them furiously.

«Herc. Calm down, " John said, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"What's wrong Herc? Is it true that Laf is looking at the new one? "Asks Alex. John gives him a nudge.

"Ouch! Pardon Herc, " He said.

They know that I love Laf, but Laf does not know it.

I sigh.

"No. Never mind,"I say.

"Do not worry about Laf. He can not fall in love with the new guy like that. Even though, it's true he's tall, he looks like you, he looks nice and... "

John gives him another stronger nudge this time.

"OUCH!!!» Says Alex.

Alex is not really good at comforting others.

"You'd better turn your tongue seven times in your mouth before you talk," John said. Alex rolls his eyes.

The bell rings. I see Laf going to class with the new guy and his cousin.

The new one already annoys me.

I go to class with John and Alex.
