That Summer in Nevis (Lams)

Chapter 4

Hammy's P.O.V

I'm helping my parents, right? I look up and see my friends towering over me, and practically surrounding me.

"H-Heyyyyy" I put on a fake smile. "W-Why are y'all lookin' at me like that?"

"Why don't we all go up to your room so we can talk." Maria has a huge smile on her face, and it's making me nervous.

"Th-That's fine."

I'm leading them up the stairs and to my room. I can them whispering behind me. Right now, the fake smile on my face is stretching ear to ear, and my eye is slightly twitching.

I sit down on my bed, giggling nervously. "What do you wanna talk about?"

They all look at each other before speaking. "You and John."

Suddenly, I feel the pressure of my fake smile disappear. "Stop."

Maria, my best friend, steps out. "Alex-"

"No. I don't wanna talk about it."

"Alex, how long have you had a crush on John?" Eliza asks.

"...the first time we met. He's just so cute! His freckles, and smile, and big, bright, green eyes-"

"Exactly!" They exclaim in unison.

"Alex, that was how many years ago?" Peggy questions.

"...almost six years."

Angelica leans down to my height, puts a hand on my shoulder, and sighs. "Alex, if you two don't get together by the end of the summer, so help me, I will shove my foot up your ass." She taps my nose and walks out the door. We're all just there, wide eyed, and staring at the door.

"Y'know she's serious, right?" Eliza cuts the silence. "Once, I didn't believe her, and she threw my phone out the window. And the window was closed, so there was glass everywhere."

They all just shrug and leave me alone in the room.

John must like me back then, right? Angelica said get together, not ask him out. That means he likes me,  right?

"SoN, gEt DoWn HeRe RiGhT nOw!"

I run down the stairs, and into the living room, where everyone was sitting down on the couch. "Good. Now that everyone is here, I have an announcement. This summer, since most of us are going to college next year, and we will see each other less, we are going on a vacation! All of us. Let me know if you already had some stuff planned. We need to discuss this vacation. Notify your parents, okay children?"

"YES SIR!" We all screech excitedly.

The Schuylers and Maria step into the kitchen, John goes to my room, and Laf and Herc go to his room. I should check on Laf and Herc soon, they might start making out or something. I'm excited, this is going to be a good summer, I can feel it! Let's hope Angie doesn't have to shove her foot up my ass, though.

HIIII! How's it going? I feel like I function better at night- don't get me wrong, I'm tired, but I feel like I also have lots of energy...is that weird? If I woke you up with a notification, or you're staying up late, you should go to sleep now, even if I'm probably not going to either.
