John POV
Classes were starting tomorrow so I figured I'd get an early night's sleep, clearly that's not what the rest of the Meme Team (🐢 🐢 🐢) had in mind.

"Y'all want to head to the bar?" Angie asked sitting on the couch. We were in her dorm that she shared with Peggy, "Uhm, excuse me, minors in the room." Peggy said in an annoyed tone, "I'm not even 18 yet!" Angie patted her on her head, "You can be designated driver." and with that Angie got up, grabbed her keys and walked out the door. We had no choice but to follow her.

Much to Alex's protests of getting drunk the night before school starts we ended up in the bar a few blocks away from the school. We ordered a round for everyone except Peggy who was 17 and Alex who probably only wanted to keep Peggy comfort because he said he was 19.

~time skip~

We definitely had too much, God why did I think this was a good idea? Angie was making a complete fool of herself trying to flirt with the bartender, Laf and Herc were making out and Eliza was vomiting in the bathroom with Peggy holding her hair back. And me, well I was doing probably the worst thing I could imagine. Flirting with Alexander.

"Hey, anyone ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are?" I asked him, he sighed, "Yes, you did. About 20 seconds ago." he replied, I laughed, "Well I'm right!" I yelled, "You're like really hot! Like really, really hot!" he shook his head and smiled, "You're drunk." I attempted to stand but failed, "I'm alright!" I yelled from the floor.

Alex helped me up just as Peggy came back out with Eliza, "I think we're done here." Eliza said and gagged again before vomiting all over the floor, "I agree." said Alex and he helped me to my feet, he also grabbed Herc and Laf and dragged them out as Peggy dragged Angelica away from the very thankful bartender.

"Hey! I was totally getting there." Angie whined and Peggy rolled her eyes, "Where we going hot stuff?" I asked as he started dragging me out of the bar, "Home." he said. He looked away from me as if I said something hurtful but I was too drunk to care.

Peggy and Alex shoved the five of us into the back of Angie's car and got into the front seat, "Hey you okay?" Peggy asked and Alex nodded his head, "I'm fine." he said and then I blacked out.

Alex POV
We finally got all of them into the car and drove back to the dorms, it was so late and we have classes tomorrow. Why does Angie make the worst decisions?

We got out of the car and dragged the others out with us, I don't know how but we managed to get them all up to their dorms, Eliza's roommate was kind enough to help her into bed and Peggy helped me get John and Herc back to their dorms. I took Lafayette back to ours and Peggy went off with Angelica.

"Why tonight?" I asked myself while unlocking the door, I dragged Laf inside and dumped him on the couch, he groaned and sat up, "Time?" he asked, "11:30" I replied, he groaned again and dragged himself to his room. I locked the door and decided to head to my room as well, I need to get ready for classes anyways.

~morning~

Wednesday

John POV
I woke up to my stupid alarm, I forgot we had classes. My head was throbbing as I switched the alarm off, I reluctantly got up and went into the kitchen to find Hercules drinking coffee, "Morning." he said, I nodded as I grabbed a glass of water and some aspirin from the cupboard.

We got dressed and walked down to our classes, I saw Peggy trying to hold up a hungover Angelica and almost laughed before my head throbbed again and I stopped myself. Why out of every day in the universe did we pick yesterday to get drunk?

I turned the corner to see Jefferson, he had backed someone into a wall. At first I was gonna turn around so I didn't have to see him harassing some poor girl, then I realized that was no girl, it was Alex.

"Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are?" Jefferson asked staring directly into Alex's eyes, he looked like he was about to burst into tears, "Hey! Get away from him!" I yelled, Jefferson turned around to look at me, "What do you want Laurens?" he asked rather annoyed, "Get away from him." I repeated, "I can do what I want. He's my boyfriend." Jefferson said.

I stayed silent, I looked to Alex for him to maybe shake his head no but he just stayed silent, "Alex?" I asked, he looked away and silently nodded his head, "See, told you so." Jefferson said and turned back to Alex, he lifted his chin and smiled slyly, he then kissed him, I could see the restraint in Alex as he held back tears.

No, I don't care if they really are dating, clearly Alex doesn't want this. "Hell no!" I yelled. I ran forward and grabbed Alex's wrist and began to drag him away from Jefferson, he flinched but I didn't really notice all that much. Jefferson grabbed onto his other arm and he yelped in pain and dropped to his knees. I let go of his wrist and walked up to Jefferson, "Get away from him." I said sternly, he only smirked at me, I have had enough of this bastard.

I swung my fist at his face and punched him right in the nose, he yelled in pain and fell backwards, I once again grabbed Alex's wrist ignoring his uncomfortable expression and ran away with him.

Once we had gotten away he pulled his wrist out of my grasp, "John, you really didn't have to do that." he said and adjusted his sleeve, "I'm not letting an idiot like that hurt my friend." I replied, he looked at me in silence for a moment and then shook his head, "Thank you." he said. He turned around and walked to his class. I'm gonna be in trouble.
