Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
and it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad
and my heart, heart, heart is so jet-lagged

I had been moved in for a few days, I'd say about four. It had also been four days since I had last spoken to Jack. I'm sure he was doing fine, he was a very social guy, he was sure to meet new people. As for me? Well, I was currently sitting at lunch with two guys, both of which were quite cute but that's off topic. One was a drummer and the other a bassist and they were both pretty cool. I had met them on move in day and our friendship had started almost immediately.

"Lex, what are you thinking 'bout," Rian asked.

"Sorry, zoned out. What are we talking about," I asked.

"That Cassadee girl, she's got a voice right?"

"Yeah, she has an amazing voice. She's kind of pretty too."

I heard Zack snort from next to me, as if he were trying to hold in a laugh. I saw Rian reach across the table and smack him. I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Rian obviously liked the girl. For a girl she was really attractive. My type just seemed to be lanky, skunk haired guys. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of my boyfriend. I needed to call him later, I missed his voice more than words could describe.

"What's got you all smiley now," Rian noted.

"Just thinking about my boyfriend," I said.

"I'm in the same boat dude. Where'd your's go," Zack asked.

"Denton, Texas," I smiled.

"Ah, mines at Southern California."

I grinned knowingly at the bassist next to me. It had to be harder for him. The one hour time difference was killing me, I couldn't begin to imagine three. I looked back down to my food and continued to eat. I was now very curious as to how Jack was. I hoped he was doing okay because I couldn't begin to imagine what he could possibly be doing. If anything he was more than likely worrying about me.

"Wait, hold up, you're both gay," Rian asked.

"I am," I said.

"I'm pan," Zack said.

"However," I quickly picked up this topic, "you are the only single one out of us Rian. Get your shit together."

"Watch it Gaskarth," Rian threatened.

"Why, cause you know where I live?"

"Yeah roomy."

We all started laughing, causing a slight scene in the nearly silent cafe. Even though I had never wanted to go to college I couldn't help but think that this was where I truly belonged, no matter how far from my angel I was. I was happy here, way happier than I had been in high school. Maybe starting over was exactly what I had needed.

Notes

Here's Alex's perspective on the whole college thing. Also, ya gotta have Rian and Zack in this. So Rian and Alex are roommates and Zack lives just down the hall, just to clear this up a little.

So, I've been missing a class for the past two weeks because of reasons, to go to it and I explained everything to my professor (who is thought to be one of the biggest hardasses on campus) and she asked me if I had people to talk to and how she can help me with everything. Now I feel really bad about what everyone says about her because she's actually a very sweet lady.
