Alex ran up the stairs to the library as fast as his feet could carry him. He had got let out of class late and he needed to print some work before his next class. He hadn’t eaten yet but he figured he would sneak some food while his work printed.
In almost record time, he was on a computer and logging on. He plugged in a USB and loaded his work; pressing the print button as soon as the option appeared.
Then he dug a cereal bar from his bag and discreetly chewed it as his pages came out of the machine.
Then he logged off and collected his work, before going back down the stairs. He was just about to turn the corner when someone crashed into him.
His papers flew into the air and then they fluttered down and scattered across the floor. The remained of his cereal bar dropped to the ground and Alex himself went backwards and landed ungracefully on his ass.
“The fuck?” he asked angrily and then he looked up, his expression dropped into a scowl when he saw Jack’s surprised face about him. “Oh, it’s you” Alex said in a bored tone.
“Dude, you just walked into me” he still sounded shocked.
“Fuck you! I was actually watching where I was going!” Alex protested kneeling up.
“I don’t care just watch don’t fucking walk into me” Jack growled.
Alex ignored him and started to gather his many pieces of paper back together. He could see Jack’s shoes still in front of him but he imagined they weren’t’ there. He stood up and manoeuvred himself around Jack before going down the corridor.
Alex had just rounded another corner when he heard his name being called, he turned to see Jack running over to him.
“Alex” he breathed, coming to a stop in front of the older boy “You missed one”
Jack held out a single piece of paper out to him and Alex took it with shaky hands.
Was he seeing this clearly?
Jack Barakat actually just did something... nice? Even after he was the one who knocked him down. Alex was shocked to say the least.
“Oh, umm... thanks” he blinked.
“Look, I’m sorry about a second ago. I was being a dick”
Alex’s jaw dropped and the colour drained from his face. Jack.fucking.Barakat just said sorry?
Something was seriously wrong with the world today.
“You alright?” Jack asked “You look a little sick” he looked worried.
“Did you just... apologise?” Alex was just confused. Was he dreaming, still asleep in his bed?
“Yeah?” his nose scrunched up.
“It’s just... nevermind” Alex mumbled “Thanks for the paper” he said in a small, awkward voice.
“No problem” Jack shrugged.
Alex shifted on his feet and Jack looked up and down the deserted corridor before he put a hand to Alex’s chest and pushed him back into some lockers; connecting their lips.
Alex’s eyes went wide before he returned the pressure. Jack bit down on Alex’s bottom lip as he pulled away.
Then he released it.
“I’ll see you later, douche” he smirked
And then he was gone. Walking away and Alex blinked rapidly.
“Holy fuck” he whispered to himself “I think that just happened...”
He numbly walked to his next lesson and apologised for being rather late and then he sat at the back of class and started off into nothingness; just thinking.
