After class I walked with Alexander and his friends. They were indeed nice. Maybe too nice to be exact. I wish I never loved. We were on our way to lunch. Peggy was talking to me about things that occurred a couple weeks ago. Some guy named Charles lee dating a guy named Samuel seabury. Then a question popped in my head.

"Peggy?" I asked slowing down. Peggy hummed in response paying attention to her pink iPhone

"So, this place is a safe place right?" I asked giving her a soft nudge.

"Yes silly! I'm bisexual, Hercules is bi so is Lafayette!" She laughed a little and my heart skipped a beat. Why are these people so nice? It's almost crippling. I moved last time cause the people at that school didn't accept me being with a dude. His name was Francis. He was my first love. Hopefully my last. I hummed In response and we made our way to the cafeteria.

"Aye mon ami, gimme my phone!" Laf screeched at Thomas who was trying to take a selfie on it. Peggy and I walked pass them and met up with herc and Alexander.

As i got my food, I went to go sit by myself. Walking little fast, trying not to get too, starred at. The table was empty but the cafeteria was still loud. I kept feeling eyes burn on me once more. To be exact, I never wanted to sit by myself. Nor did I want all the attention of 'come sit with us john'. I'm not that kind of person. That's pathetic. I just honestly didn't know if I was aloud to sit with anyone. Everyone seemed so cool. And then there's me. I'm eh.

Before I could sit down I felt a tug on my shirt."You honestly think sitting alone will get you friends?" I looked back to see Alexander and Peggy."I mean Ye, sitting alone does get you frien- Ow Peggy! I'm just saying" Alexander grumbled. Peggy had punched his arm and they both dragged me to a table with a lot of people. They were all talking about a different subject and changing it every Three seconds. I just picked at my fake food with a fork and stared outside. The way the trees moved, and the grass swayed, was so aesthetically soothing. It felt nice and calm. When you finally learn to block people out and focus on one thing,, gets you places. Like the fact that I can feel someone tugging my sleeve and repeating 'john' over and over. I finally obliged and glanced over at Peggy.

"Hey!" She smiled. I groaned to myself and looked up at the other people. Some threw food at one another, or mixed there milk with there vegetables. I'd do that too, if I wasn't so, shy? I don't think I'm shy. I think I'm lacking the attention right now.

"Aye Angie, sit there." Lafayette said coming up with his tray, pointing beside Peggy, and sitting beside Alexander."Then Thomas and James can sit some where, who cares." Laf joked. I looked at everyone. They all were talking while doing everything. It's like they don't know how to shut there mouth. But what am I to say? I can't shut my mouth about things when I'm talking to myself.

I kept smashing my food together fiercely with my fork, when people started sitting down. This 'James' kid, came and sat beside me with Thomas on the other end of him.

Damn it's so crowded.

After everyone started to sit down I heard Hercules speak."ok everyone this is john~" he spoke clearly and I slowly slapped my hand on my forehead. These people are so social. Like, all I ever wanted was to come here and make a new friend, do my work and leave. Everyday. But nope, these people are so much different then the ones at my old school. Way to different. I have a way of reading people by there movement .

"Yep, were gonna be besties Just wait." I heard Peggy say with pride. I slightly giggled at that. Alexander looked deeply at me, he looked like he was amazed to see me smile or laugh for the first time. So I got the dignity I had and wanted to speak and actually make friends.

"I'm, very.. interested in.. this school" I mumbled and cleared the lump in my throat.

"Oh just wait until P.E Seventh hour." Angelica said."Ya But Eliza is gone so there's like, no one to be momma around here and telling us not to throw the ball at peoples faces" James said and Thomas half heartedly laughed."exactly" Thomas Put his hand on the table. They are definitely gay.

"Dude, shush, I'm poppy and so I'll take that job!" Lafayette murmured but literally everyone heard.

"Way to go." Alexander said and I felt my cheeks heat up at his sudden voice. He's like that really sarcastic, cool drama kid.

"Don't get me started on you Alexander." Lafayette snickered. I heard a couple ooo's.

"What Exactly?"

"Alexander Oh Lexi- plz more~" Lafayette jokingly moaned out making everyone laugh and Alexander's face was completely red. Almost like mine.

"Come On, not this again? That was one time! And we broke up last week" he scoffed.

"W-who?" I asked. Angelica laughed at that."He ràped my sister." She joked and I couldn't help but laugh hard. But knowing Alexander was straight interrupted me from laughing even harder. It sucked. This is like a sad love story. And besides, love at first sight doesn't exist right?

I stopped laughing when I saw everyone starring at me.
."your laugh is so adorable oh my gosh!" Peggy poked my nose and i blushed even harder.

"Stop making him red dudes, anyways. Alexander Hamilton over here fucked Eliza and we heard most of it." Burr finally spoke.

"Did not!" Alexander pouted.

Lunch was over with and I walked back talking with Thomas and James, also of course Peggy was following because she wants to fulfill this friendship of ours that we're creating.

Two more hours of school left.
