Chapter 3
John's P.O.V
What the hell are they talking about?
"Okay, okay, guys, calm down!" I shout.
They all breathe in and slowly breathe out AT THE SAME TIME! WHAT THE HELL?! HOW ARE THEY DOING THIS?! I swear these sisters (let's say, Maria's their honorary sister who's also dating Peggy. I kinda forgot about her. Heh.)are like magical or something.
"What do you mean 'did he do it'? Who did what?" I whisper.
"ALEX!" They whisper shout.
"I swear if you guys dared Alex to kiss Jeffershi-"
"No!" Eliza cuts me off.
"Did he ask you out yet?" Peggy squeals.
"Alex? Ask me of all the people in the world, he wants me out. Like on a date. Me. You guys aren't joking right? I'm pretty sure he would rather cut of his hand." I laugh.
Eliza, Maria, and Peggy nod aggressively, and Angelica rolls her eyes and leaves.
Me? He likes me? They wouldn't joke about that, right? Especially Peggy. Peggy's my best friend. Like, an even better friend than Alex. She wouldn't do that. So, maybe he does like me. Maybe, he can be my boyfriend. New goal: Become Alex's boyfriend before the end of the summer.
Alex's P.O.V
"So...DID YOU DO IT?!"
"Um...no?" I nervously laugh.
"Bro, dude, do you know how long it took us to finally date?" My brother asks me.
"No?" I stare at the ground.
"STOP ANSWERING WITH A QUESTION!" He shouts. "Three weeks! T H R E E WEEKS! What happened? You said you were gonna do it."
"So...I was going to, then I got really nervous and almost passed out, I'm pretty sure I got friend-zoned, and I ended up crying in my room for a while. Are you even sure he likes me like that. I don't wanna ruin our friendship." I rant.
"Wow." Herc replied.
"Let's just go. I'm done with you for now, mon frère." My brother sighed.
Maria's P.O.V (because I keep forgetting her...)
"So, why didn't he ask John out?!" I whisper shout.
"If we're gonna talk about Lams, then I'm out." Laf deadpans.
"What's up with him?" I watch Laf greet his parents.
"He's just pissed because he promised he was gonna do it, but he didn't. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THAT'S HAPPENED?!" Herc exclaims.
"We really need to talk to him." Everyone nods.
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 two 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.
