Why Have I Done This??? (Lams Oneshots)

The Boy Who Never Smiles

A/N - shoot me

John's POV

   There's a boy at school. No one knows his name. They call him the kid who never smiles. I've seen him a few times. He doesn't have friends and he listens to music all the time. He wears all black and keeps his head down. He seems upset all the time and I've made it my goal to talk to him. I'm a bubbly person, I have a ukulele and I paint sunflowers on everything. I'm gay and I love turtles.
   I skipped downstairs and grabbed toast from the toaster.
   "Don't be late, Jack!" My dad called.
   "I won't, dad! I swear!" I frowned and looked around. "Have you seen my-" my dad rounded the corner holding my ukulele and smiled. "Thanks."
   "Have a great first day, son." He gave me a hug and grinned. "Find a good boy, got it?"
   "Dad! If I do I'll tell you." I hissed, I ran out the door and dove into my car. I had to run into first period and I crashed into a desk just before the bell rang. It just so happens that my desk was right next to him. He looked extremely bewildered and I smiled my sorry. He just raised an eyebrow and turned his head to the board. The teacher instructed us and soon she was walking us through a lesson. The boy took extensive notes and I twiddled my thumbs. I grabbed a sheet of paper and started writing.
I'm sorry I set the note on his desk and he glanced at it. He seemed hesitant to read it but resigned and unfolded the paper. He started to write and I smiled.
Just don't be late. Problem solved. He bit his lip and stole it back from me. That sounded harsh. Sorry. I guess I'm just skeptical.
   Of what???
   I don't know. Everyone is always so mean to me because of how I dress and how I walk in the halls. They don't know anything.
   Oh. I'm John by the way.
   Alexander. My friends would call me Alex if I had any.
   Consider me your first. I smiled and he frowned at me. The his phone buzzed and he quickly got up, approaching the teacher. They had a hushed conversation and he slipped his headphones on when he sat down. I frowned and he bit his lip.
Please don't question it. At least not yet?
   Ok. I won't I swear. What lunch do you have?
   6th
   Oh same! I sit outside if you wanna join.
   Maybe I will. The bell rang and he left the classroom.

   I saw Alex enter the courtyard and I waved really big so he'd see me.
   "You're the only one out here, dork!" He called, I laughed and moved my things so he could sit. "Are you the only one who sits out here?"
   "Yeah, well except for my friends."
   "So it's quiet?"
   "I guess. Why?" He gave me a look and I threw my hands up in surrender. "Sorry! I didn't realize it was related." I mumbled, Alex shook his head and scoffed.
   "You're silly. It's not like you could've known anyway." Alex sat criss cross applesauce on the bench and pulled a brown bag out of his backpack. "Thank you for inviting me to lunch."
   "What are friends for?" I grinned, Alex was about to take a bite off his sandwich when he put it down and stared sadly at his hands.
   "You're not bothered by me?"
   "Why would I be?" I frowned and leaned against the back of the bench.
   "I don't know. I never smile. I'm weird. All the shit everyone says about me."
   "I'm sure none of it's true." I smiled.
   "YO! WHO DAT!" Alex jumped and nearly dropped his sandwich. We looked up to find Lafayette entering the courtyard and grinning.
   "This is Alexander." I grinned.
   "Ohhhhhh, you're the kid who n-" I smacked his arm and he shut up.
   "It's fine, John. Yes, I am the kid who never smiles." Alex shrugged, Laf sat next to him and they started to talk. They started speaking in French and I stared at Alex in disbelief.
   "You speak French?" Alex looked over and shrugged.
   "Yeah and Spanish and Latin."
   "So wait...what's your first language?"
   "English, dork." I giggled and grinned when I saw Peggy enter the courtyard.
   "JOHN, GUESS WHAT I HEARD!" She screamed, Alex flinched again and I glanced at him with concern.
   "What?"
"I heard that the kid who never smiles was talking to some gay kid."
"Hey, Pegs?"
"Hm?"
"I'm the gay kid." She went white and Alex tightened his ponytail.
   "Hi, I'm Alex." She slowly shook his hand and I stifled a giggle. Soon Alex had met the whole group and no one questioned it. He seemed to like Eliza and Burr, he hated Thomas and James though. We all hate them. We don't know why they hang out with us. He also hates Lee and Reynolds. After introduction he was speaking with Eliza and Lafayette and he seemed to remember something. He pulled out his phone and set an alarm. I frowned but didn't ask. We started laughing and screaming at each other and I didn't notice Alex start to breathe weird. "I have to go." He grabbed his things and ran off. Everyone went quiet and I bit my lip.
   "What just happened?" Eliza asked, I grabbed my ukulele and ran after him. It took me like ten minutes to find him but I found him in the bathroom on the second floor.
