Lorcan loved just about everything about Hugo. He loved his adorable laugh, his endless jokes, his overly optimistic personality, even his awful dance moves that he'd do whenever a song he liked was playing or even when the song was just stuck in his head. The only problem was as soon as he had realized he liked him Matt just had to go and ask Hugo out.
Lorcan stared at the ceiling of his dorm wishing that he could just wake up and discover this was all a bad dream. He knew he wouldn't but he still wished that he would. This was the last thing he had expected to happen. He had known that Matt and Hugo sometimes hung out because he was friends with both of them but he had not expected them to start dating.
I heard the door to the dormitory open but didn't look up because I didn't want to talk to whoever it was right now.
"Hey Lorcan," said a voice I recognized as Matt's. He was the last person I wanted to see right now. "How are you?"
"Fine," I said in tone that I thought very clearly said 'this conversation is over'.
"You don't sound fine you sound upset," he said coming over towards my bed.
"Well I am fine so please just go away," I said, a clear tone of annoyance in my voice.
"Do you want me to get Hugo? He always seems to cheer you up," he offered.
"No I don't need you to do anything," I snapped, as I jumped to my feet and began to head for the door. I really just needed to be alone right now.
"Wait Lorcan," he said grabbing my arm which I quickly jerked away from him. "did I do something wrong?" he asked totally confused by the whole situation. "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"No I think you've already done enough!" I yelled before running out of the room. I really wasn't sure where I was going to go but I needed to get out of my dormitory and I needed to get away from Matt.
