BLUE Chapter Nineteen
“Shit. Shit. Shit.” Alex threw his phone on the bed, panicking. He ran his hands through his hair continuously, cursing at intervals. After a while of panicking and pacing around the room, he finally paused to take deep breaths. Inhale, exhale, repeat. Folding his arms, he took slow steps as he walked towards his bed. Though buried under sheets, he could still see his phone and like it was waiting for his arrival, it beeped signalling a new text message. He could feel a new wave of panic rush through him. Slowly and even more slowly, he stretched his arm forward and reached for his phone. On reaching it, he slightly closed his eyes then turned it on to see what text message he had received again. It was a message from Victoria. Victoria: Hii Victoria: I’m done with my part of the project. You? Victoria: if you’re also done, let’s meet tomorrow at my place to finalize it? Alex could have cried. If only he had finished just five minutes later he wouldn’t have had t

"I'm Alex Croft, no, my name is Alex Croft, no, Hello standing in front of you is Alex- arrrrrgghhhhhhh." Alex slammed his heaf on the table, groaning in pain as he felt the pain. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration, recalling how he had been in the library ever since his classes for the day were over, trying to get himself ready for his presentation. His presentation was going to be happening the following day and though he seemed confident when he spoke to Victoria about it, deep down he knew he was nervous. Very nervous. It wasn't going to be his first time presenting in the presence of an audience but it was going to be his first time in over six years. He had spent the majority of his high school life as a literal shadow and as a result, never had to present in front of the class making his last memory of such presentations presenting his little self grown plant back in the sixth grade. This, however, was different and he was sure simply a toothless smile and light
BLUE Chapter Twenty-One
Alex shut his eyes even tighter, recognizing the voice and familiar touch. “It’s getting late, Blue. Wake up.” On realizing his gentle taps weren’t getting Alex to get up, Seb moved his hand from his back to his hair. He leaned forward to confirm Alex still sleeping and on doing that, smiled to himself. “Blue,” he muttered, running his hand through Alex’s hair. It was the first time he touched his hair and it oddly felt good. So good he couldn’t bring himself to stop so easily. Alex, already awake, could feel his insides twist and turn with Seb continuously running his hands through his hair, caressing it and having its tips dance around his fingers. He had two options. To either pretend for longer and risk Seb toying with his hair for even longer or to just get up and have Seb stop caressing his hair.Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and immediately met Seb’s gaze. “You’re finally up,” Seb said, watching Alex slowly raise his head from the desk. “Just for how long

“Oh you look good!” Alex let out a nervous chuckle as he walked towards his empty seat on the dining. It was a normal morning with his aunt and cousin already seated while he joined. “What?” even his words sounded nervous as he dropped his backpack next to him. “Oh, do i?” “Mhm mhm,” his aunt reconfirmed her words. “Are you headed somewhere after college today?” “Eh? No, I’m not.” His eyes fell to his lap as he replied her. He was putting on white trousers he had never worn ever since he got them paired with a striped hoodie like shirt. He had bright white sneakers, matching his trousers and complimenting his outfit. “Just college.” “Oh really?” his aunt stylishly checked him out. “Too bad then. You look all perfectly dressed up for a date.” “NO IT’S NOT A DATE!” “Okay cousin,” it was Lucas’ turn to speak and he did that with laughter accompanying his words. “We believe you aren’t going on a date after school. You don’t have to get all worked up.” “I-” before he co

SEBASTIAN KEATES: Hope you haven’t forgotten.. SEBASTIAN KEATES: The volunteering event is tomorrow. Alex read the messages received from Seb the previous day one more time then dropped his charger into his already packed backpack. Giving his room a final look around to confirm he wasn’t forgetting anything, he grabbed his bag and walked out of it. He was fully ready for his two day trip. It was a weekend and his aunt had been nice enough to offer to drive him all the way to the take off location. An offer he had simply rejected as he didn’t want to bother her or be a hassle. Her room was few rooms away from his so he headed in that direction before heading downstairs. His cousin was out for a party and hadn’t gotten back since the previous night, leaving the house to just him and his aunt. “Aunt Carol?” he let out, placing a gentle knock on her door. “Are you up?” “Yes, yes,” he heard her say. “Come in.” Nodding, he stepped into her room looking around immediately he got i

SEBASTIAN KEATES: How’s it going working on the sidelines? SEBASTIAN KEATES: It isn’t really busy here…the doctors are doing the majority of the work SEBASTAIN KEATES: So how’s it there? Busy? Or not really? Alex looked around him as he sat idly. It wasn’t always like that though as for the first few hours, they were busy with everything related to organizing the event. It was a hassle , they couldn’t deny but few hours later, they finally felt relieved. Alex: It’s okay here Alex: was busy initially but it’s way better now SEBASTIAN KEATES: You sure? Alex: trust me if it was still as hectic, I wouldn’t be replying your texts. SEBASTIAN KEATES: Haha okay now I believe you Alex: Good. SEBASTIAN KEATES: Generally speaking… SEBASTIAN KEATES: Are you enjoying the whole event? SEBASTIAN KEATES: Okay maybe enjoying isn’t the most appropriate term SEBASTIAN KEATES: But does it meet up to the standard of what you wanted? Alex laughed at the text. The whole motive of going for su

“Hey.” “Hey.” They both simultaneously broke into smiles and turned in the direction of the announcer who had already gotten there and was ready to announce whatever she had to say. Alex shoved his hands into his pocket, stylishly watching Seb as he folded his. He looked tired. Exhausted, even. His t-shirt looked rumpled compared to how it looked earlier and his hair looked dishevelled, lacking its natural style. “Was it stressful working over there?” “No, it was okay,” like he heard his thoughts, Seb replied then ran his hands through his hair like he was trying to make it look smooth. “It felt weird not seeing you around for almost a whole day.” “Don’t be dramatic,” Alex faked a scowl. “Nothing should be weird about that.” “It did though,” Seb said, giving Alex a quick glance. “Um, earlier. Who was that guy you were talking to?” “Oh, you mean George?” “Is that his name?” “Yeah,” Alex turned to notice Seb had folded his arms again and was looking away from him. His eyebrows

It took Alex only a few seconds to realize he wasn't sleeping on the floor anymore.He turned and instead of feeling the hard cold floor against his body, he felt a soft and warm duvet wrapped around him.Immediately, his eyes shut open and he got up from the bed, confirming he was truly no longer on the floor.What the hell had happened the previous night?Was it not all a dream?"You're up," Seb's voice pulled him out of his momentary trance. "Good morning."He looked up at him as he strode across the room. He was fully clothed in dark jeans and a sweatshirt. His hair looked freshly washed and in total, he looked like he had gotten up ages ago and was ready to go."How did I get here?" Alex asked him, pulling the sheets away from him. "On the bed, I mean. I clearly remember falling asleep on the floor so how?""You don't remember?" There was a confusing look in Seb's eyes as he asked. "Well, it got really cold yesterday so I helped you up. To the bed.""Oh," Alex had more questions
