I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU

Chapter 4

A/N: Hi, everyone. Thank you for continuing reading this. If I happen to bother your notifications, I'm sorry. I noticed some grammar mistakes and I edit them. Anyways, here's the chapter. 

Alex POV-

I woke up at my alarm, still sleepy. I changed my clothes to a blue button-up and sweatpants. I headed to the kitchen to make some coffee for me when I noticed a note sticking to the coffee machine. 

'Alex, I made some French toast on the table. If you happen to look for me, I'm at early morning class. -Laf xxx' 

I had some black coffee and a few bites of the French toast Laf made for me before rushing to Literature class. I sat beside this small guy who goes by the name James Madison. We talked for while before the teacher came in. 

-time skip-

After a few other classes, I headed back to the dorm. Once I arrived, I saw Laf slumped on the couch texting at some group chat. He heard the door shut and quickly shut his phone.

"Hi, Laf. What ya doing?"

"Nothing much. But, I'm going to the Library to meet up with, uhh, Adams, for a science project. Bye!," Laf walked to the door, grabbing his jacket and disappeared out of sight.

Laf POV-

Operation Lams was holding a meeting at the Library. I heard the door close and quickly shut my phone. Alexander was back.

"Hi, Laf. What ya doing," Alexander asked.

"Nothing much," I replied. Now, I needed and excuse so I can go to the meeting. "But, I'm going to the Library to meet up with, uhh," I thought of a random person in class. "Adams, for a project. Bye!" 

I ran to get my jacket then out the door I go. Way too smooth, Laf. I hurried to the Library which was by the Marine Biology Building. I bolted in and saw everyone part of Operation Lams in there.         

"Laf, you made it!" Peggy greeted me.

"Duh. My plan," I answered. "Anyways, let's start. Any news? Advices?"

"Well. I asked John what he wants, because it was supper. He said 'mac n cheese' but I replied 'I was hoping you'd say Alex'. He BLUSHED!" Hercules squealed. We laughed. 

"Nice one," Angie chuckled.

"He definitely is in love with Alexander," Eliza stated.

"Yeah..." I trailed off. My eyes focused on the Library door. John passed by and happen to notice us. "Act casual, John's here!"

Each of us clammed up. John opened the doors and greeted us. We tried to keep the conversation going, because if we were silent then he would think we were hiding something from him. Which we are...But every time we had one it kept making John's curiosity rise.

"Hey, guys! What ya'll doing here? And where's Alex?" John asked with his Southern accent showing.

"Nothing. We're just, uh, talking about uh..." Peggy wasn't really good at hiding things.

"Women's rights, equality," Angie smiled awkwardly. Herc nudge her with his elbow. John knows that we wouldn't meet up just to talk about that topic.

"But-"

"No, Angie was just reading about it and muttering stuff which we took no notice of," Eliza looked at Angelica, who had a hurt expression. She looked at her with a 'sorry' glare. "We were actually talking about Herc's Fashion course! He said they'd make, UHHH, a fashion line for the performing arts. Liz looked at John with hope that he would buy it.
