"I'm gonna go get the mail!" You yelled from the hall.
  "Okay. Bye sweetie." Your dad called from his office.
  You trotted down into my garage and opened it, revealing the quit neighborhood. You pulled out your bike from the side of the garage and put it in the driveway while you closed the garage door. With the mail bag and key in hand, you put it on your bike and lt it hang from your handlebar.
  You peddled down the street for a minute or two, admiring the yards and the houses they belonged to. You finally stopped and the mailboxes. You looked for your mailbox number on all of the little doors until you found it. You jammed your key in and tried turning it. It wouldn't budge.
  "Come on you stupid key, TURN!" you grubled irritated.
  "Could I be of some help?" you heard a masculine voice say. You looked up to see who had spoke, your eyes being greeted with a boy about your age with deep brown eyes, a poofy ponytail that had tight brown curls, and had hundreds maybe thousands of little freckles dotting his face.
  With your face dusted in pink with blush, you replied, "Yeah I guess I do."
  The boy chuckled while he made his way to the mailbox. He examined the little space then yanked the key out, put it back in, then turned.
  "Ta-da!" He said, slightly puting his hands in the air.
  "Thanks." you said, "What was wrong with it anyway?"
  "Well," he started, his head down, "the key was upside down." He brought his head up revealing a wide, radiant smile.
  You and the boy both laughed. "Oh my God, how stupid can I be!" You said still giggling with your hand on your forehead. "Whatever. Thank you so much."
  "No problem." He said.
  He started walking away when you yelled, "Wait!"
  He turned his head to you, giving attention.
  "What's your name?"
  "John, John Laurens." He smiled. "You?"
  "(Y/N) (Y/L/N)." You gave a little grin. "Bye.....John."
  "Bye...(Y/N)."

《•♡•time skip to the next day because i am lazy :P《•♡•》

You and your best friend, Hercules, were on your way to the cafeteria for lunch. (yes, Herc is your best friend. everything else i've read has either Alex or Laf as the bestfriend so i choose to be different).
  "Hey (Y/N)," he said nudging your arm, "I wanna introduce you to some friends of mine at lunch."
  "Sure Herc. I'm excited to meet them."
  You and Hercules reached the cafeteria doors and pushed them open. The tables were filled with students talking and making loud noise. Herc led you to a table with three other boys.
  "Guys, I want to introduce you to a friend of mine."
  A dark skinned boy looked up. He had his brown hair tied in a tight bun with a stubbley mustache and beard on his jaw. He spoke with a thick French accent.
  "Bien, bien, Hercules. Who's the girl?"
  Herc gestured toward you, "This is (Y/N)."
  The boys stood up and got into a line, starting with a pale skinned boy with his straight hair pulled into a bun.
  "Hi. My name is Alexander." He said shaking your hand, "I'm the student council treasurer." He flashed a quick smile and sat back down at the table.
  The next boy was the one who had spoke French.
  "Bonjour il manque." Hello there miss. He kneeled down and kissed the back of your hand. "Lafayette."
  You giggled. "Ah, Lafayette. Merveille de te recontrer." Wonderful to meet you.
  You took a French class in third period so you knew what he had said. Lafayette's eyes lit up with happiness and gave a big grin.
  The last boy had brown eyes and....
"John!"
  "Hey (Y/N)!"
  "You guys know eachother?" Alex aske looking up from his notebook.
  "Yeah. We met yesterday." You and John walked back to the table. John sat on your right while Laf was on your left.
  "Alors, vous parlez francaiş?" Laf asked. So, you speak french?
  "Yeah. My dad wanted me to take it."
"Wonderful." Lafayette said, smiling. "Well, I have to get to gym." He got up from the table. "Au revoir mes amis." Goodbye my friends. "Bye (Y/N)."
  "I have to go too. Nice meeting you (Y/N)." Alex said.
  "Se ya (Y/N)." Hercules said, patting your shoulder.
  "Bye, Herc." You said. "I need to leave, too."
  "Ok." John started to get up while you did. Suddenly, your hands accidentally brushed together and your eyes went up and met eachother.
  Both of your cheeks went red. You started to slowly step backwards toward the doors, waving your hand
"Bye."
