Are you sure? (Lauren's x Reader)

Im sorry, what?

Y/n POV

"Why is nobody here?" I asked John.

"I don't know, were late for class... OH NO." Said John.

"WHAT?" I said, worried.

"THE CLASS WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE A TRIP TODAY. SPME OLD ARTIFACT MUSEAM OR SOMETHING!" Yelled John.

"I'm sorry, WHAT?!" I said. We were both silent for a few minutes until I slumped into my chair.

"I'm sorry Y/n, t- this is all my fault." Said John. I couldn't stay mad at him, but I'd gotten very good at hiding nt feelings. Too good, I guess. Because I didn't say anything and buried my head in my hands. I heard him sigh behind me and immediately felt guilty. I opened my mouth to talk but no words came out.I heard a banging noise from behind me. I turned  around to see John, banging his head against the table. Really hard.

"John stop! I'm sorry! Please..." I said, half hopeful, half depressed.

"Why? Why are you my friend. What do you even like about me?" Said John.

"Well..." I said, taking his hand and leading him away from the desks."You're really nice, funny, and," We both sat down in a corner. "You make me happy in sad times. You always make me laugh. Nobody else- not even Gil, can do that." I turned to face him. We stared at each other for what seemed like years, until my phone rang.

•Peggles• is calling.
"Hello? Y/n?"
"Peggy! Oh my god!"
"Okay so uh... yeah are you guys at the school?"
"No. Were in Texas."
"We"re sorry Y/n, you guys will just... have to stay at the school."
"Well, okay... bye I guess"
"Bye"
•Peggles• ended the call.
"Well, we just have to stay here." I said. Then I had an idea. I went over to the teachers desk. John followed.

"Ooh new seating plan!" Said John. We looked at the seats. Y/n Laffayette with Tohmas Jefferson... I don't really like that guy. He seems weird and he's rude to Alex. John Laurens with... "Charles Lee?!"

"Oh I can change that for you." I grabbed a pencil, erased the seating plan and switched Thomas Jefferson with John Laurens. "Like it?"

"I'm a big fan of your work! Can I have your autograph?" He joked.

"Dork." I said, lightly pushing him. We laughed for quite a bit. Then we stopped and stared at each other, us both now sitting on a desk. We hadn't realized it, but our faces were close. Very close. I felt my face turn red and looked down at my hands. I leaned on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around mine. "John?" I said.

"Yeah Frenchie?" He said.

"I... nevermind." I couldn't tell him.

"No, what?" Said John.

"Well, say you had a crush on someone. And you wanted to tell them. What would you do?" I said.

"Ooooooooo-" He said.

"Joooohn." I said, pouting.

"Well, I'd say, just tell them! And I still want to know who." He said.

"I... well..." I said, fidgeting with the hem of my shirt.

"Can I ask some questions? For hints?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ugh. Fine." I said, grudgingly.

"Yay! Okay, first question. Eye color?"

"Brown."

"Hair color?"

"Dark brown." His eyes lit up, as of he knew who it was.

"Hair length?"

"Kinda long? Like, shoulder length."

"Is it Thomas Jefferson?" He said.

"Ew no way!" I said, shuddering at the thought.

"Alex?"

"Nope. I'm not telling you!" I said.

"Ugh. Fiiiine." He said. I pulled out my phone and started scrolling.

Timeskip to lunch

"The one downside to Charles not being in our class." John sighed.

"Just... sit over there! Eliza, Angie, and Herc aren't in our class!" I said, smiling. We sat down and they looked at us confused.

"Shouldn't you guys be at that historical artifacts thing?" Said Herc.

"Don't ask." I said.

"Okay... are you doing anything for your birthday John?" Said Eliza.

"Oh my god I feel like such a bad friend! I don't even know you're birthday!" I said.

"Its fine, my birthday is October 28th!" Said John. Then, I had an idea...

I'm sorry this is so short!!!! :(
