"I swear Herc, I'm not dating Alex," I promised.

"Right.. So you were casually hanging out at 2 AM on a Friday?"

I nodded.

The dim light of the sun through the window made this feel like an interrogation. I wasn't too fond of it, especially since I had something to hide.

Everything I've said so far seemed plausible in a friendship with Alex. If I wasn't myself, I'd think we were just two good friends, except for the making out, cuddling, and sex parts, but that was concealed to the public.

"Let's play a little game," he said menacingly.

"Sounds oddly sexual, but fine."

"Blue or green?"

"Green."

"Birth-date?"

"October 28, 1994."

The game seemed strange. Who knows what he was trying to get out of it. As long as I cooperated, everything would be alright.

"Sexuality?"

"Gay."

"Boyfriend's name?"

"Alex."

I clamped my hand over my mouth as soon as I processed what I had said.

But of course my boyfriend- the king of horrible timings, thought that moment would be the perfect time to barge into my dorm.

"Hey babe, Burr's girlfriend is getting a little uncomfortable with all the sex toys we keep in my dorm. Do you think you could take some to keep in here?"

He glanced up and screeched.

"The fuck?" Herc exclaimed.

"Alex what the fucking hell? How do you casually walk into a dorm a say that?"
