Future Favorite Regret (Jalex)

11: Never Have to Wonder

Title: Summer Daze (Seasons, Pt. 2) by All Time Low

"Are you sure you're okay?" Vic asks Jack as we walk to art class. "That was a nasty punch. I heard it."

Jack shrugs. "It's fine. Better me than Alex," he says and wraps his arm over my shoulders. I smile and lean slightly against him. 

"You two cute," Vic whispers and walks into class. Jack and I sit down. 

Jack laughs. "Are you one of those shipper people?" He raises an eyebrow. 

Vic shakes his head. "Nope. I just say what I see... Jalex."

Jack blinks. "What?"

"Nothing." Vic smiles and looks way, obviously grinning.

I let out a soft laugh and Jack looks at me. He retracts his arm and pokes my nose softly. "You're laugh is still cute."

I feel my cheeks go hot. "No- no it's not."

Vic looks at us and slaps his hand over his mouth. He leans back before slamming his head against the desk. Mr. Way looks at us in confusion.

"Vic, are you alright?" He asks. Vic lifts his head and nods. Mr. Way just shakes his head and turns to another student.

"You two- for f- I can't right now. Y'all are making me wanna read hot gay smut," he says and covers his face with his hands.

Jack scrunches up his nose. "Ew, seriously? In art class? If you're gonna do it, at least wait until you're home. Just in case uh-" he clears his throat. 

My eyes widen and I fake gag. 

"Yeah, something like that," Jack says jokingly, pointing at me. I groan and lay my head on the table. "Aw wait no," Jack lifts up my head and smiles at me. "Whatcha doing?"

"Trying to bury myself into the table so I don't have to listen to this conversation," I mumble. Jack just lets out a soft laugh.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to try and contaminate your innocent little head," he says and hugs me. "Forgive me?"

"Yeah, yeah, sure," I sigh and pat his head. 

"You two are killing me," Vic groans and slams his head against the table again.

"All your friends are cool," Jack says as we walk to free bell. "I was expecting all of them to shut me out, kind of like Rian did, but then Rian approached me in math. He asked me about my intentions with you and said if I hurt you-"

"He'd kill you, yeah, he told me that part."

"I noticed they're all very loyal too. If I hurt you, I think I'd have like seven people hunting me down."

"You would. Rian and Vic would probably try to kill you. Kellin and Justin would beat you up a lot and shame you constantly. Lisa would find your secrets and expose you. Tay would rip your dick off."

"That's pleasant," he winces. We walk in, and he sits next to me. "So, Awsten is new, right?" I nod. "Well, at least we don't have to warn him about Trace."

I nod again. "It'd be a shame if he talked to Trace instead of Kellin and Justin."

"Hi, Alex," a voice says into my ear. I jump and Jack looks up, glaring at the person. "Oh, what's wrong Jack?"

I turn and see Mr. Harris grinning at Jack. "Hello, Mr. Harris," Jack says through his teeth, trying to maintain a smile. 

Mr. Harris nod and looks at me. "What? You're not going to greet me?"
