《Falling Back》6

Advertisement

After the first week of classes, I was tired as fuck. The classes I had to go to, oh man. Walking all around the god damn campus. The projects the professors gave us. And of course, trying to socialize, I cannot.

Who new college will be so hard mind the sarcasm

Jacob and I were in his room chilling and just watching netflix. I plopped myself on Jacob's bean bag and complained "Kill me now"

He grabbed a bag of potato chips in the pantry and sat down on his bed "You wanna jump off the building with me?" He asked

I laughed "Sure why not"

He laughed back "Oh yeah, I don't know if you know this but there's a party tonight." He said while eating chips "You want some?"

"No thanks," I declined "tonight? I'm too tired to do shit, I just want to sleep."

"Come on, you said that college was the perfect time to do new things...this is it!"

"Parties are all the same." I shrugged

"This time it'll probably be different. Plus there will be a lot of hot dudes there, unless you're not interested." He smirked

"Whatever do you mean?"

"You got to stop watching Lucifer man, you're excuse of a British accent is horrible."

I scoffed "Excuse m-"

"Anyways" he interrupted "maybe you're actually catching feelings for Jules. You know," he munched on the chips "falling back in love."

"HELL NO! It's only been a week! AND I never loved him! I only liked him

How can you fall in love with someone you never had?! Or actually got to know personally?"

Jacob chuckled

"You know what? Fine I'm coming to that party."

"That's the spirit! the party is actually thrown for us freshmans, but cool people will go there as well. So to have a social life you actually needed to come."

"You could have just lead with that!"

"Yeah I know, I just wanted to see something...and you have to invite Jules as well."

"What? Why?"

"I promised you that I would figure out if he likes guys right?"

"And you'll know if I invite him to the party?"

"Exactly"

------

"Hey so um do you want to go that party later with me?" I said, sounding aloof

"Oh yeah the freshmen party, I also went to that on my first year." He smiled "But parties aren't my thing."

"Oh wow really? How can a guy that's not here almost every night not like parties. I mean I assumed you were always drinking or doing crazy shit." I rambled

"Well first of all I'm an introvert, and second of all I study every night with my friends."

"Holy crap you're actually a great student?!"

He scoffed "What makes you think I wasn't?"

Well over the times I saw you, you were very lazy as hell, I wanted to say

"Never mind that," I laughed nervously "but can you please come with me to the party?"

"Why do you want me to?"

"Um so that um...well since you're older than us, you can prevent us from making batshit decisions!"

"That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard! But if you want me to go that bad, fine. I guess it's been a while since I went out."

"Yes!"

"But if I don't like it I'm gonna leave with or without you"

"Cool yeah sure whatever" I mumbled

-----

Jules and I arrived at a huge house that I didn't know who belonged to. When we went inside it was your usual party. There was loud music, colorful lights, people dancing, people getting freaky, and of course booze.

"Yeah no" I heard Jules say

He was about to leave when I grabbed his shirt "Nah you can't, I was lying about needing someone to prevent us from making bad decisions.

"Ohhh so you were lying? I never would've guessed." He said sarcastically

"Sarcasm isn't a good look on you kid."

He laughed "Kid?"

"I," I said not answering his question "I helped you from getting burnt out. You needed to get out of that dorm room and just chill."

He nodded

"Now let me introduce to you my friends."

I looked around the house for Jacob and Evie while dragging Jules. It was very fun. A little while later I found Jacob chugging some beer.

He burped "Hey hey hey Taylor!"

"Hey hey hey Jacob" I mimicked him "Are you drunk already?"

"What of course not! I'm not a light weight."

While we were talking Evie walked towards us. "Sup Taylor, who's this cute guy with you?"

After introducing them to each other, I had a few drinks, danced around and just do whatever you typically do at a party. Jules actually found a friend of his and hung around with them.

After having my fun, I grabbed Jacob and asked him about the thing with Jules.

"What thing with Jules?" Evie asked

"Um nothing" I answered

"Well you see here, Taylor likes him." Jacob told her "Noooooow we waaaant to know if he's gaaaaaaay." He slurred

"Why don't you just ask him?"

"Annddd why would weeee do that?!" Jacob slurred again

"No one asks directly." I said

"Well I will" she answered

Her eyes roamed around the room to find where he was. "Agh there he is! Sitting on the coach...with his phone...looking bored."

"Wait no Evie you can't just ask him!"

Well too late, she walked to the couch and sat next to him. Jacob and I followed suit. Well he barely followed, I mean he passed out on the coach.

So much for not being a lightweight.

"So Jules," she started

"No Evie" I said

She rolled her eyes

"Um yes?" He furrowed his eyebrows

"Are you gay?"

Well that was fucking blunt

"W-what?" He stammered, he looked at me and had a face that says "Is she for real?"

To which I responded by giving him a look "Well are you?"

"Of course not!" He shouted

Evie quirked an eyebrow

"I mean not that it would be a bad thing. I'm actually bi." He confessed
