I stand at the front of  the school as my mom drives off. HAVE A NICE DAY. She yells at me as she drives off. I look at my wrist to check the time 6:57 but my new school doesn't start till 8:00, I hear a click and see a bald man and a small boy get out of a car. The bald man looks at me confused while the boy hides behind his legs. I'm mr.washington. The bald man says. And you are. He says. Oh I'm Alexander Hamilton and there's a million things I haven't done but just you wait. I say proudly and the best part is I wasn't lying.

The little boy behind mr.washington stepped from behind him. bonjour à Lafayette mais tu peux m'appeler laf. He says shyly. I don't know much English. he says. c'est bon, je parle couramment le français aussi. I say and see him perk up instantly.

We walk into the dark classroom. Toys are scattered about and there are burnt out places everywhere and it smells like peppermint and smoke. I look outside and see a playground and field and in the near the Playground are benches. I see mr.washington and laf clean so I do the same. When we're almost done I pull  laf aside and then I ask what is the deal with the class. I mean it's not everyday you go into a burnt out class room with so much playdough and crayons on the wall you'd think that a unicorn threw up in it.

He sighs and sits me down on the play mat. Well for starters Mon ami-YO I'M JOHN LAURENS. I hear a voice yell rudely interrupting laf. But instead of punching him laf hugs the boy  that rudely interrupted him. Then another boy comes and also starts yelling I'M HERCULES MULLIGAN. I looked at the three boys one of them had light brown hair and a soft vanilla latte complexion  with freckles. While the other one has a dark chocolate complexion with short curly hair. And the third one  laf was just in the middle and had dark brown hair pulled into a puffball on the back of his head. Without thinking I blurted out AND I'M ALEXANDER HAMILTON AND I'M NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT. They all looked at for a moment then I started to get nervous then John finally spoke and said let's get this guy in front of a crowd. My eyes lit up as they all welcomed me into their group and when I went home that day I was Happy because I had already made my first friends.
