In A New Life [Lams]

Getting to Know Your Characters

lmao this is more for me, because I was like ". . . who teaches what again?" I reread the story, and I HAD THREE SCIENCE TEACHERS FOR ALEX LIKE ???? NO???? SO, this is just to keep me in check, also help you get to see where everything is headed, without spoilers (also because I haven't planned it) so, let's begin (ALSO, IF THIS GOES AGAINST WHAT YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY READ, THIS IS NOW THE CORRECTNESS SO LET'S PRETEND MY MISTAKES DON'T EXIST; THANKS.  ALSO SOME OF THIS IS WITH NOW, SUCH AS HERC AND LAF'S RELATIONSHIP, BUT I FONT WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY, SO YEAH)

Teachers

Mr. Reynolds - Alex's homeroom/Health/PE

Mrs. Reynolds - English 

Ms. Manning - Science

Mr. Washington - History/Principal 

Mr. Seabury - Math

(More teachers to come, maybe)

Students (stating their grade, sexuality, friends, enemies *loose term, really means who they don't get along with*, relationship/crush, and some specifics if I never get into it in the story (which for most of it *cough*EACKER*cough*, I do not)) -- everyone who hates Eliza is because of Chapter 6, y'all know that the Rev. Set hates Burr, but you don't know why; it's a future chapter (also for everyone else who hates him) -- pretty much if it's not Eliza, everyone is hated for a reason and it will be later revealed in later chapters

Alexander Hamilton - freshman; friends: Angelica, Thomas, Margarita, George (Washington), Hercules, Gilbert, James, Eacker; enemies: Aaron, Eliza ; sexuality: bisexual; relationship: John Laurens

John Laurens - freshman; friends: Angelica, Thomas, George, Hercules, Gilbert; enemies: Aaron, Eliza, Eacker, Margarita, James; sexuality: GAY; relationship: Alexander Hamilton

Hercules Mulligan - sophomore; friends: Angelica, Margarita, Thomas, George, Eliza, Alex, John, James; enemies: Eacker, Aaron; sexuality: ??; relationship: platonic flirtationship with Gilbert

Guilbert du Motier Marquis de Lafayette - sophomore; friends: Margarita, George, James, Eliza, Alex, John; enemies: Angelica, Thomas, Eacker, Aaron; sexuality: pansexual; relationship: platonic flirtationship with Hercules Mulligan

Aaron Burr - junior; friends: James, Eliza; enemies: Angelica, Margarita, George, Thomas, Hercules, Gilbert, Eacker, Alex, John; sexuality: queer, undetermined; relationship: hA!  As if!  (kind of has a crush on Eliza, tries to impress her a lot)

Elizabeth Schuyler - sophomore; friends: Hercules, Gilbert, James, Aaron, (half) Angelica, (half) Peggy; enemies: Thomas, George, Eacker, Alex, John, (half) Angelica, (half) Margarita; sexuality: straight; relationship, crush on Alex/jealous of John, oblivious to Burr

Angelica Schuyler - junior; friends: Alex, John, James, George, Thomas (half) Eliza, Margarita, Hercules; enemies: (half) Eliza, Aaron, Gilbert; sexuality: bisexual; relationship: mini crush on Mrs. Reynolds; * she does not personally know Eacker*

Margarita "Peggy" Schuyler - freshman; friends: (half) Eliza, Angelica, Gilbert, Hercules, Thomas, Alex, George; enemies: (half) Eliza, Aaron, John, James; sexuality: lesbian; relationship: major crush on Ms. Manning (tried to get with her before, but Ms. Manning didn't catch on; doesn't really have any regards for the rules); *she does not personally know Eacker either*

Thomas Jefferson - freshman; friends: Alex, Hercules, Gilbert, Margarita, Angelica, James, George, John; enemies: Eliza, Aaron, Eacker; sexuality: heteroromantic, asexual; relationship: crush on Angelica

George Eacker - sophomore; friends: Alex (because he protected him from Aaron); enemies: George (he's a troublemaker in George's mind, will never really change; made him do a lot of paperwork), Eliza (on the first day of the previous year, she argued with him on the bus and dude can hold grudges, especially since she said "do you even look in the mirror? Or is to too shattered for you?"), John (future chapter), Hercules (future chapter), Gilbert ( future chapter), Thomas (didn't trust him and he fought Thomas when Thomas was in middle school), James (insulted him; Thomas fought for James because James was too hurt -- not a tame insult), Aaron (ran against each other for class president and they were at each others necks for long and it just never died), Angelica (doesn't trust him because her best friend at the time was dating him and he tried to get with her and she denied him hard core), Margarita (also tried to date her ???? like?? boi?? no???); sexuality: tells himself he's straight, is actually kind of really gay, just doesn't want to admit it to himself; relationship: developed a crush on Alex (however, unlike Eliza, he's not going to do anything about it)

James Madison - freshman; friends: Alex, Hercules, Gilbert, Aaron, Eliza, Angelica, Thomas, George; enemies: John, Margarita, Eacker; sexuality: straight; relationship: mini crush (not mini, fairly obvious) on Margarita.

OKAY

SO 

I decided that there will be about 24~ish chapters; however many it takes to get to the very very beginning of the next year.  Then it will end and it will be a cliffhanger and I will have a sequel.  

And what I have yet to decide (you guys can vote) is if after/between "I-can't-think-of-what-to-write" the chapters, I should have portfolio's for the characters to get to know them on a deeper level and their pasts, or if I should have a Q&A and you guys ask the characters questions and I just pull from there and make that the portfolio; or if you guys have better/other ideas, you should comment them!

What do you think?

(Chapter 8 will be uploaded by Friday; latest is Friday)
