John's POV

I had Alexander with me at the moment, we share almost all our classes except for Marine Biology, which I took, and Debate, which he took. Herc and that Lafayette guy shared all their classes so, Herc volunteered to show him around. I swear, I think the guy's crushing on a certain French man. I chuckled at the thought, making Alexander look at me. "What's so funny?" He asked, eyes holding total confusion.

"Nothing, just thinking of a certain someone having a crush and that someone tries everything to flirt, but actually fails to do so and chickens out." I replied, chuckling even more. He giggled slightly and kept walking with me, adjusting his hood.

"Let me guess... Herc?" He asked, smirking. I laughed and nodded. "Well, lucky for him, Laf is gay."  

"Wait really?" I asked, surprised. He nodded and looked back up front.

"He's been gay for as long as I can remember."

"Then what about you?" God damn it John, idiot! No one asks that all of a sudden!

"Bisexual." He answered blankly, not even looking at me. "I've been bisexual since I was 10... You?" 

"I'm extremely gay." I answered proudly. "Came out when I was, what? 5? Jeez, I really don't remember anymore."

"How'd the parents react?" He asked, then his eyes widen all of a sudden and took a step back, trying to hide himself more in the hood. "I'm sorry, I-I-I d-didn't mean t-to push something personal." He stuttered out.

"What?" I asked him. "What are you talking about?"

"As soon as I asked, your face fell and... and... I'm so sorry." He apologized once more, I didn't even notice that my expression changed. 

"Hey, no it's okay." I reassured him, giving off a warm smile to let him know I'm fine. "And to answer your question, my dad kicked me out for two reasons, one of them being gay."

"And the other?"

"Not wanting to carry his legacy in hunting vampires, ugh." His face showed terror and his whole body started shaking. "Whoa, are you okay?!" 

He turned around and started to take in air, trying to calm himself down. I walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder and slightly bent over to look at him. He looked over, still panting. He forced a smile and nodded at me. "I'm fine, really. I just got a little startled." He said.

Thomas came strutting in, pushing passed us in a rude manner. "Watch it!" I yelled at him, pulling Alex up from the ground.

"Oh sorry, last time I checked this school has a no fags allowed rule." He sneered at me, ugh.

"It seems to have an open door policy for assholes though." I shot back, rolling my eyes. I smiled when I heard Hamilton chuckle behind me, then coughing to make it seem he didn't laugh. "Come on Alex, Mrs. Washington might kill us if we're late." I grabbed Alex's wrist and started to pull him away.

We arrived at class just in time, sitting beside each other as Mrs. Washington came in.

Time Skip

 Alexander apparently got an emergency text from Laf, telling me to go on ahead to next class without him. I saw Herc in the classroom, sitting with his feet on the desk. "So, what does Hamilton want?" He asked, almost instantly when I sat down beside him. 

"What?" I asked, confused.

"Laf said that he had an emergency text from Alex, so maybe I thought he told you."

"That's weird, Alex said he had an emergency text from Laf."

"Oh shit." He said, putting his feet back on the ground before grabbing my wrist and sprinting out. 

"Herc, what the hell?! Do you even know where they are?!" I shouted at him. He didn't answer and just pulled me all the way to the race track behind the school. I couldn't believe what I just saw.

Alexander's POV

I ran all the way to the back of the school, Laf told me that he saw something there and, apparently, is an emergency. When I got there, he was running towards me. "Laf! What's the emergency?" I asked him when we met up, panting. He quickly shot me a confused look.

"Vwat? I zhouth you vwere going to zell me zomezhing, emergency you zaid." He replied. That's when we heard footsteps around us. Both me and Laf looked and saw Charles Lee, Thomas Jefferson, James Reynolds and the bitch of them all, George King. (No James M. cuz he is cinnamon roll)

"How gullible are these two immigrants?" Jefferson said aloud,  with mockery in his tone. "And to think that all students in Columbia University are bright and clever."

Laf clenched his fist, growling silently. I tried to stay calm and just hide inside my hood. "We know your little secret..." Said Charles Lee. My eyes went wide when I caught the smell of the most familiar poisonous shit I could ever come across. Me and Laf exchanged look of horror as we stepped back at the same time. "You are going down bloodsuckers." He added and threw the garlic right at us. Me and Laf ran away at opposite directions, trying our best to avoid every piece of garlic that Lee threw. Jefferson took hold of my arms and held behind my back, as Reynolds inched closer with a handful of garlic shreds. He shoved it in face s it burned like hell. 

"Alex!" I heard Laf yell, before being replaced by a loud thud. I tried to ignore the burning sense on my cheek and look over to where Laf was. He sat on the floor as Lee repeatedly whipped him with a rope. I struggled to break free from Jefferson's grasp, but he was just too strong. Laf laid there, seeming to look dead, but I could still see his chest rise and fall. George King came up to me and pulled off my hood.

I screamed in pain and collapsed on the floor. Lee, Jefferson, George and Reynolds took their leave as Laf limped towards me. He managed to cover me up as the sun almost disintegrated me. "Alexander..." He breathed out, holding me close to him, covering up my body. "Alexander are you okay?" He asked me, which I responded with a nod.

"You?" I asked, looking up at hi and he nodded. We both heard footsteps running towards us. 

"Shit..." I heard John's familiar voice. We looked back and saw our friends, running towards us and kneeling down. "What the fuck happened?!" He exclaimed, eyes darting everywhere. Laf pulled me close and backed away from them. "Guys?" 

Laf gave them a death glare as his eyes started to turn red. I tugged on his shirt to alarm him of what he was doing. He looked at me and held on my head like a mother, stroking my hair. He looked back at John and Herc at front. "Pardon, be vwe do not vwant anymore zorture." He soffed. John and Herc gave a confused look and inched closer, to where Laf hisses at them.

"No way.." John breath out. I closed my eyes shut. 

"Laf..." I whispered, catching his attention. "It hurts... I wanna go home..." I whispered, voice disappearing from time to time. 

"So... you two are?..." Herc asked, pointing at us. Laf shot a glare, but nodded. "Then let's get both of you out of here!" He added. Laf's expression softened, as he was picked up by Herc and I was carried by John, both by bridal style. I winced in pain when the hood fell off. 

John quickly caught it and placed it back over my head. "Don't worry, I got you." He softly said as he carried me back to our dorm. I looked over to Laf and Herc. Laf was staring into Herc's eyes, like they were the only people in the world. I looked up at John and saw him having this serious face. I felt him cradle me closer to his chest, his face scrunched up and his brows started to look sad, his eyes produced tears as well. I reached up and wiped a stray tear away with my thumb. He looked down at me with a confused face, I gave him a warm smile as a reply. "I trust you..." I whispered, as his eyes went wide.
