Did Time Stop?

12. DAZED & CONFUSED

Alvaro's POV
Me, ale, and Roshaun we're walking to the cafeteria for lunch. We were meeting Robert there because he wanted to go meet some girl he met named Lola. Mattia and Kairi were supposed to be on their way so we should all be seeing each-other soon. Don't get me wrong I was excited to see all of the boys, even if we just met and we were different we had a bond. The bond wasn't super strong but trust me it was there. Ale was different but I didn't know how he felt about gay people, was he homophobic? Even if he wasn't would he like me? I'm not bad looking but I'm short and more nerdy looking. He's tall, mysterious, and he gives off this very dominant vibe.
"Ale do you see Robert?" I ask getting on my tiptoes to look around.
"No but I see Roshaun." He says pointing towards a table in the back.
"Hey dumbfucks!" Roshaun practically yelled as we approached the table.
"Hey bitch." I reply to him
"Sorry I wasn't here guys." We hear Robert say.
"Where were you?" Ale asks.
"Talking to Lola, I got her number." He says smiling showing us a piece of paper.
(xxx-xxx-xxxx)
Call me :) -Lola
"I feel bad for her." Roshaun says. Me and ale started laughing hysterically no matter how bad we didn't want to. I felt bad for laughing don't get me wrong, it's just I couldn't help it. Ales laugh was beautiful, truly memorable.
Stop it!
"You wrong bro." I look at Roshaun trying to stop thinking about the boy next to me. Roshaun just shrugs his shoulders and laughs.
"Fuck you, did you get anyone's number?" Robert questions looking at all of us. I obviously didn't, I was to worried about school obvious enough and now him.
"Nah I'm chilling." I hear ale respond snapping me out of my thoughts. I need kai to hurry up, I don't know why but I felt this connection with Kai. It wasn't like the one with ale, or the one I thought we had. It felt like earlier wasn't our first encounter, I felt playful and that I could be carefree. It was like me and Kairi were best friends and he could take my life or even just my mood in a different direction. I may not remember if we've met before, but it feels like a charged event because I REALLY needed and wanted that type of energy he gave off.
"Yeah me too, I don't want anyone's number." I lied.
"Hey cuties!" I hear Mattia's voice, he did it in this dumb tone. You know the high pitched girly voice? Yeah that one.
"You sound like an idiot." I say rolling my eyes. He laughs and sits down, I look to my left and see kai sitting in the middle of me and Mattia. When he sat down I was less nervous or conflicted about Ale. I just wanted to hang out and have fun, I wasn't sure what this was. My body has been having these weird "changes" which I didn't understand, and no you weirdos it wasn't puberty! (😭)
The order we sat in went Roshaun and Robert sitting next to eachother across from me and ale, then Mattia and Kai were on our left.
"Hey bitch, your guys room done?" Roshaun asks the two.
"Nah I didn't even get the rest of my suitcases, I only have that one book bag I need to get the rest later." Mattia responded lazily. So I called him out.
"Lazy ass!" I yell laughing.
"LaZy aSs!" He mocks me and then I feel a hand hit my head. I know this Dino looking mf did not.
"Ow bitch."
Ale and the rest of the boys burst into laughter, I'm getting aggravated. Even worse I felt my heartbreak or close to it when ale was laughing at me, I wanted him to make sure I was okay. I wanted him to defend me I guess. I don't know, it wasn't that big of a deal honestly but for some reason my mind and body agreed on being hurt hearing him laugh at me.
"You're an ass." I say rubbing the spot just hit on my head.
"Bro this food smacks." Ale says with a mouth full of his chicken sandwich. I know you lying, he serious?
"Okay one ew we don't need to see it and two, you right." Robert says eating his pizza.
"What are your guys first class?" Mattia asks us.
"I have economics." I mutter back.
"Lectures." Kai sighs.
"Studio." Roshaun speaks up.
"I have independent study." Robert says.
"Hey me too bro!" Mattia cuts in dapping up Robert.
"Bet, wanna walk with me?"
"Hell yeah!" He responds while drinking his water.
"I have seminars." Ale says reading a small paper.
"Are you okay?" Kai taps me.
"I'm okay." I lie.
"Are you sure? You look upset."
"Mhm."
"Okay, you can tell me." He says rubbing my back. Woah what was that? When he touched me, I felt a sensation of warm liquid being poured over me. The liquid feels rich and pervasive, like honey or oil. What is going on? I need to figure out what all these things mean, first me and now kairi? Wait does he know anything, does he feel that too? I look at him and he doesn't seem worried but he has a way different look on his face. It's not fear, not pain. Sadness maybe? Why is he sad though he was just happy. He looked okay to me, I don't understand.
"Y-yeah, I gotta go to the bathroom." I stutter out. I'm going to atleast try and find something out. After saying that I get up and almost sprint out of the cafeteria. When I get to the bathroom I go to my phone and struggle thinking of what to type. What exactly am I supposed to search? I don't have any actual conspiracies or whatever you call it. I just notice subtle changes and small things in people, so basically my dumbass thinks that'll work.
"Why is my body changing?" Is what I search and I get nothing but shit about puberty and or getting pregnant. Okay well I'm definitely not pregnant so that's out of the picture and this definitely isn't puberty. *I think it's funny, sue me ;)* while I was looking up random things and reading, I saw something about a guardian angel and their touch. It described how I felt when Kairi touched me, then below that I saw a link about demons so I clicked it.
*It's been about 5 minutes*
As I was reading I failed to hear the door open, and apparently I didn't lock my stall. In my defense I just ran in and started "researching" I guess.
"Al" I hear a voice and I look up to be met with ales eyes staring deep into mine.
"Hmm." I respond in shock thinking of what I read, are angels and demons real? Is Kairi an angel?
"You've been in here for awhile, you okay?"
"Oh yeah, I'm okay." I shake my head to push the thoughts away, that doesn't even make sense. That stuff isn't real, it's fiction.
"What are you reading." He mods to my phone.
"Oh it's nothing." I turn my phone off.
"Oo damn al didn't know you were like that." He smirks, first of all rearrange my guts please. N e wayz this man is FINE. He can't just smirk like that and look at me like that, wait a damn mi- Why is he looking at me like that?
"You're perfect, that's why."
I hear this voice in my head, it's not mine so I'm kinda scared at this point and don't know what I'm supposed to do. I just answer ale and I don't think about it.
"Okay let me stop you there nasty, I was just reading some stuff." I scrunch my face up after realizing what he was thinking of.
"Can I see?"
"It's dumb." I look down shyly realizing that what I was reading was crazy.
"Stop looking so innocent."
The same voice from before says again, but this time it was more of a growl then a sentence.
"Just let me see Alvaro." Ale started to walk up closer to me, I lost my breath and started backing away. My back soon hit the wall and so did my head, I let out a whine and I could've sworn I heard ale growl lowly. It kind of sounded the same as the voice, then I remember something I read and freeze. I couldn't move, is this true? There's no way, it doesn't make sense?
It's not real.
Is it?

So I haven't been to sleep yet and it's almost 7😎. On top of that I started this at 4 am while I was trying to calm down so it might suck. I haven't been in the best place recently. I am going to start including the boys more..... as I should 😌. Should I do more of their POVs? Let me know what you guys think. I LOVE YOU!
