[Start Of Act 2]

*Five Months Later*

I walked into school, and made my way towards Peggy. "Hey PegLeg!" I said, waving.

"Hey Johnny!" I rolled my eyes at my nickname. "Where's Laf and Herc?"

I shrugged. "They said that they were going to be late."

"Oh, alright! Angelica is with Eliza and Alex right now."

"Oh." I answered, and just as she said that I saw them all walking towards us, along with Thomas Jefferson and his gang.

After awhile, Alex and I started to drift. He changed after he started to date Eliza. He started hanging out with the popular people, even Thomas who he hated. He was with Eliza 24/7. They have been together for a year.

I had grown closer to Angelica and Peggy. Angelica and I bonded over liking Alex, and Peggy and I bonded over being gay as fuck.

Angelica and I talked almost 24/7. I immediately trusted her, so much that she was the only one who I told about my father's abuse. I have the feeling that Laf and Herc both suspect it, but I haven't confirmed anything. Ever since I told her, she has become super protective of me. She growled at anybody who gets too close to me. She's kind of like a guardian angel.

So, yeah, we're close.

Alex and I, on the other hand, aren't really anymore.

We barely talk, sure, we smile at each other in the halls and wave, maybe even give some "hellos", but never a real conversation.

But that still didn't stop the butterflies in my stomach when I see him.

And I missed him.

As much as I wanted to hate him for changing, I just couldn't.

"John!" Angelica exclaimed, running towards me. I laughed.

"Angie! It's so nice to see you again!" I said, hugging her.

We had all just gotten back from summer break, and the Schyler sisters had all gone a vacation to the Bahamas, or something. I mostly stayed the night and Herc's house, to avoid my dad. Sometimes, if my dad was drinking too much, I'd bring my siblings along.

"Hey John." I heard a voice say. I looked behind Angelica and both Alex and Eliza were their.

I put on a fake smile. "Hey Alex, Eliza. Good to see you guys."

"You too!" Eliza's peppy voice answered. She wore a scrunchie on her wrist, and wore a blue hollister shirt and black leggings. Her brown hair was up in space buns. She carried a starbucks coffee in one hand, and held onto Alex's arm with the other.

Basic bitch-

No, John. Just because she's dating Alex doesn't mean you can be a asshole. She's a good person. She's nice.

I made eye contact with Alex for a second, before quickly looking away.

"I'm going to head to class..." I said, making an excuse to leave.

"Class doesn't start for fifteen minutes." Eliza said, raising a eyebrow at me.

Well damn, you didn't need to expose me like that-

"Yeah, well, I'm going to meet up with Laf and Herc."

They nodded. I turned around and started to make my way towards the front of the school. I heard Alex yell "Tell them I said hi!"

I rolled my eyes. Yeah sure, I'm totally going to do that.

As I made my way to the front of the school I finally saw Laf's car, pulling up. I made my way towards it.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey man!" Herc said, high fiving me. "I can't believe summer is over already."

"I know, right?"

"We better hurry to class, mon ami, or else we might be late."

I nodded, and we all made our way inside the school.

Laf has history first period, and Herc and I have English. Right before we were about to separate, I saw Laf and Herc both lean in and kiss each other.

Part of me was thinking 'oh my god their so cute' and the other half was thinking 'if only you had somebody to that that with'.

I mentally scolded myself. Stop being jealous!

I forced a smile and yelled "PDA!" jokingly.

They both pulled apart and glared at me, before going to classes.

Despite being happy for my two friends, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
