chapter 1

*** gay slur

third person ~

school.

disgusting.

how did john laurens get stuck in this mess? the only three  things he'd rather be doing right now are eating food, sleeping, or talking to my friends. unfortunately, he's currently being harassed by a closeted gay that uses the word 'fag' like it's second nature. thomas jefferson.

"is your left hand so big because you're always on a certain site? that's kind of disgusting."

laurens rolls his eyes. yes, he watches porn, who hasn't?

yes, he watches a specific person each time.

is that creepy?

possibly.

"yeah, this morning actually. since i don't write with my left hand i might as well put it to work." john shrugs.

jefferson looks the smaller boy up and down in complete disdain for him.

"disgusting, fag."***

ah, the wonderful insults. the gay slurs that just oh so eloquently rolled off of his tongue were just delightful. jefferson saunters off into the busy halls, leaving john alone to get his books. john opens up his locker and grabs his textbooks, slamming it shut after getting himself situated. he turned around and saw his best friend, peggy schuyler running up to him.

"jacky!" the small girl wraps her arms around john's neck in a tight hug.

peggy was a small girl with a big personality. she was always rambling about something or someone. she had known john since elementary school. peggy had forced john into the friendship, but nonetheless, she grew on him.

"hey, pegs!" john beamed.

peggy gave him an exaggerated wave once she pulled away. he chuckled softly at her, about to respond to her nonsense. instead of doing so, they were interrupted.

"that's a detention, laurens." a teacher tutted, handing john a detention slip.

"the hell? for what!?"

"you slammed your locker." they replied like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

john sent peggy an incredulous look. she only giggled, covering her mouth were her hand. john looked back at the teacher who had a sly smile written across their face. they sped walked away, probably looking for more stupid reasons to write people up."

"i think the teachers just finds the stupidest reasons to put people in detention." peggy hums, popping her gum with her nail.

"is that really what you think?" john replies.

peggy hits john arm, frowning up at him while doing so. john being the very mature twenty-one year old he was, stuck his tongue out at her. the pair began walking towards their first period class. american history was the subject. their teacher greeted them when they walked in, mr. washington. washington was the best teacher you could ever have. he was lenient on late work, he didn't mark you tardy if you walked in late, and he was always willing to be a listening ear whenever any of the students needed it.

the class had finally started once the bell shrieked, signaling that everyone should be in class. everyone had their notebook and a writing utensil out, ready to take notes. it was a monday morning, so not everyone was lively and eager to learn.
