Alexander's POV

Alexander slipped into his new classroom, trying to look confident, not too confident. He didn't want to look arrogant. Alexander found a seat near the back of the classroom. While waiting for class to start he looked around at the other people in his classroom.

The girl sitting next to him on the left was quite beautiful. She had long, brown, curly hair and was wearing a white shirt and a blue skirt.

A second girl, who was sitting next to her, whispered something Alexander couldn't hear.

The first girl leaned over to Alexander. "Hey," she said. "You're new here, right?"

"Yeah," Alexander replied. He knew he talked to much sometimes and he didn't want to make a bad first impression. "I'm Alexander."

"Angelica," the girl said. "Angelica Schuyler. Nice to meet you." She extended her hand. Alexander took it and they shook.

"I'm Eliza Schuyler," the girl who was talking to Angelica before.

"Hi," Alexander said to the beautiful black haired girl.

"My sister," explained Angelica.

Alexander turned around in his seat as a loud group of three guys walked into the classroom. The boy in the middle caught Alexander's attention. He had freckles on his nose and arms, as though splattered there and he had light brown curly hair, he was laughing. One of the others boys was taller and had brown skin and short hair the same colour. The third had brown skin and long curly brown hair.

"Who are they?" Alexander asked.

"Them?" Angelica said. "That's Lafayette, John and Hercules."

Alexander watched the three boys closely, not sure why he was watching them.

"Aaron Burr," Lafayette said, walking up to a boy Alexander hadn't noticed before. He seemed quiet.

The boy looked up at Lafayette and sighed. "Hello, Lafayette."

Lafayette flopped down into the seat next to Aaron Burr.

A teacher walked into the classroom.

"Hello, class," he said. "Most of you know me, but because we have a new student I'll introduce myself. I'm Mr. Schuyler."

He must be related to Eliza and Angelica Alexander thought.

"Aaron," Mr. Schuyler said, "would you show Alexander around the school?"

"Sure," Aaron said, quietly, getting up from his desk.

Alexander got up as well.

Aaron and Alexander walked out of the room.

"Aaron Burr, huh?" Alexander asked, after they'd left the room.

"Yeah," Aaron said.

"So, where are you from?" Alexander asked.

"Here."

"New York. Nice. I like it here."

Aaron nodded. "There's the bathrooms," he pointed. "That's the history classroom. Look, do you want to go back?"

"Why?" Alexander asked.

"I don't know," Aaron said. "Someone else could show you around."

"Who?" Alexander asked.

"Maybe Eliza or Angelica."

"Sure. That sounds cool."

John's POV

John looked up as Aaron and the new kid walked back into the classroom. Was his name Alexander?

"Aaron. That was a short tour," Mr Schuyler commented.

"I just showed Alexander the things that he needed to know," Aaron replied. So his name was Alexander.

After first class was over Alexander walked up to John.

"Hey," Alexander said. "You're John, right? Eliza and Angelica told me about you."

"Yeah," John said. "John Laurens. And you're Alexander?"

"Yeah. Hey," Alexander said. "I've got biology next, Aaron didn't show me where it is."

"Burr, huh," John said. "He's not really talkative."

"He basically shoved me off. Can you show me where it is?"

"Sure," John said. "I've got biology, too."

"Thanks."

A/N I know this is not great. At all. But they will get better. I swear to god.
