Unrequited Love ~Lams~

18

We entered the gym, and were immediately met by the smell of sweaty high schoolers.

"Alex told me that he's already here." Laf said. "He texted me a few minutes ago."

"Let's find him then!" Herc said, and made his way towards the bleachers.

We saw a crowd of people, surrounding a few students.

"Yo, what's going on?" Herc asked a random student.

"Jefferson and Hamilton are fighting."

My heart sped up. "Fist fight?"

"Nah." The guy answered. I let out a sigh of relief. "So far, it's only a verbal one."

We nodded and made our way to the center. Alexander was glaring at Jefferson, who was suprisingly at eye level. I looked down at his feet to see that he was standing on the first row of bleachers, as Jefferson stood on the gym floor. I stifled a laugh.

"Break it up!" Here yelled, standing in between the two. We heard boos from the crowd.

I saw James Madison trying to drag Thomas away from the fight as we did the same with Alex.

Eventually, the crowd broke up, and music started playing.

"Where's Eliza?" I asked Alex, wondering if his girlfriend had not come, or if they had maybe, perhaps broken up.

"She went to the bathroom. Her sisters left to go get food or something." He said, shrugging. I nodded, slightly disappointed.

Stop it John! Your supposed to be happy for him!

We all stood their talking for a few minutes, until 'Perfect' came on the speakers. It's a little over played, but still a good song. I watched as couples started to make their way onto the dance floor.

"Wanna dance?" Herc asked Laf. Laf's face turned red, and he nodded. They both made their way onto the dance floor, and left Alex and I alone.

Maybe I can dance with him.

I felt my hand unconsciously make my way towards his, before I snapped it back.

You can't do this.

Just on time, Eliza made her way over to us. I slightly smiled at her. She gave me a nod a acknowledgment, before giving all her attention to Alex.

"Dance?" She asked, motioning to the dance floor.

"Of course." Alex answered, winking at her. Eliza blushed slightly and giggled, grabbing his hand, leading him towards the dance floor.

I sighed.

I need a drink.
