JAMES

"Life is hard." Alec whines and slams his book shut. 

"Why?" Nico glances at him before going back to the game he is playing with Vince. 

Rubbing his temple, Alec sighs. "Calculus."

"Sorry, mate. It is one of the obstacles we have to surpass in life." Vince shoots him a grin.

Watching the exchange from the couch, I feed Theo a treat as he sits on the floor.

"Good boy." I mumble to him.

Raising my head I watch as Alec narrows his eyes at Vince. "I hate you."

"No," Vince cocks his head to the side. "You don't. I'm your best friend, you love me."

"Well then, my love for you has diminished. Nico and Alec are at 100% while you went down to a 95%." Alec has a smug on his face as he smirks.

However, Nico just frowns at his choice of words.

"You were just complaining about Calculus, so why are you adding numbers to this?" He asks causing Alec's smirk to disappear.

"I don't know." Alec groans and sulks as he stands up from the chair he was sitting on. "I think AP Calculus broke me." He mumbles at the end.

What?

As Alec walks to sit on a couch beside us, Theo walks away from me and plops himself down next to his legs.

"Be happy that you don't have to go to school, Theo." Alec scratches the little puppy's head.

"You want to play after this round?" Vince raises the controller in the air and nods towards Alec's direction. 

"Yeah, why not."

Leaning back against the couch, my eyes focus on the game they were playing, but my mind was somewhere else.

Thinking about her.

After our phone call from yesterday, I made sure to text her before going to bed. 

It was a short conversation because I didn't want to keep her up, but I found myself feeling happy while talking to her. 

She made me feel things.

Things that I have never felt for anyone else before.

And I could only guess that these feelings and emotions are part of something more.

But what? 

"Hey, lover boy!" My eyes lock on the two fingers snapping in front of me. 

"Yeah?" I shake my thoughts away.

"Stop thinking about your girl." Alec says as he stands in front of me.
