Falling with Caution

Chapter 12

The game didn't seem to last long after that. And the drive back felt shorter as I tried not to think about what's in my pants. I tried to contribute to the conversation, but ultimately, I found myself falling asleep in the seat.

They dropped us off and told us to be ready in a few minutes as they got food for everyone. We decided to order some pizza and the three others were going to somehow fit in the one car. I think they were saying something about two people on the floor and one in the third seat in the back with Miguel and Kylie.

"So where did you and Alex sneak off to?" Kylie asked wiggling her eyebrows. "And don't think we all didn't sense the vibe."

I groaned into my bed before getting up. "He has some curse on me or something. It's crazy."

"Well go get changed, the drive to pizza isn't that far." She said checking her phone. "And I'll set up a study room in the library for tomorrow morning."

"Okay." I said stepping into the closet to take off my clothes and changing everything. And just threw on a shirt.

"You should stay over at his place." She suggested making me laugh. Wait?

"Are you serious? I can if you want." I said poking my head out of the closet. She laughed and threw her shirt at me.

"I'm changing!" She joked but she already had her clothes on. "And not like that stupid, I'm just saying I would."

"I don't know." I muttered going back inside the closet to change into some shorts. My eyes glanced over at my laundry basket and saw Alex's boxers. Maybe I can see how I feel at the end of the night. "We'll see." My phone began to go off. "They're here, is everyone outside?"

"Yep!" Kylie said jumping off her bed and put on her shoes. "They should be in front of the dorm."

We walked downstairs and was faced with everyone. "I'm kinda excited."

"Me too." She said hugging everyone as the car pulled up.

Miguel was in the front seat this time, going in, Alex was sitting in the same spot.

"Sit on my lap." He said, grabbing my wrist and putting me on his lap. Arles sat next to us and the other three sat In the back with Kylie in the middle.

"I guess we should do introductions." Kylie said from the back.

"Well I'm Valeria and this my room-"

"I meant for people that don't know each other." Kylie laughed and pointed at Leon. "This is Leon and then is Chris."

"I'm Arles." She said and then looked over at me and Alex with a smile. "Boyfriend?"

"Alexander." I said pointing at him. She nodded her head and looked over at Miguel.

"I'm Miguel and the driver is Justin." Miguel said and pulled out four woods. "I was going to suggest more, but I wasn't sure, so I just started with these."

"Sweet." Arles said and turned to Kylie. "Did you do good on the last algebra test?"

"You two have class together?" Chris asked from the back.

I didn't know that either.

"No we have the same teacher, I saw her at office hours." Arles explained and looked back at Kylie for an answer.

"No me and Vale were going to study tomorrow morning ish time." Kylie said and glanced at me before turning back to Arles. "Wanna join?"

"Can I join? I'm struggling!" Leon asked looking over at me. "You have algebra too?"
