The next day at 3:00 pm, Alexander entered a classroom filled with students talking to each other, then he spotted Thomas talking to Andre. Alexander just glared at the two of them until Aaron passed by him.

He quickly followed Aaron to his seat and thanked him for joining. "I didn't have a choice, what do you expect?" Aaron coldly said. Soon, Sir George Washington, the club administrator, came in and the classroom became silent. Sir Washington smiled "Hello, and welcome to the Debate Club. My name is Sir Washington, and I am the administrator of this club. Today, we'll do introductions and the election of the club officers." he continued, "Alright, Adams, you start, tell us a bit of yourself"

Alexander didn't care what happened next, he started writing his introduction on a piece of pad paper. Andre noticed what Alexander was doing and did the same. Soon, it was Alexander's turn to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Alexander Hamilton, I am 12 years old and this is my first year in the Debate Club. I came from the Caribbean and moved here. My father left, my mother and I got sick but luckily we recovered."

He heard some people snicker from behind, so he turned around and saw that it was Thomas and Andre holding up two pieces of paper; Thomas held a paper saying Immigrant, and Andre held one saying Sick. Alexander glared at them and sat down. Aaron was also looking at them, but Alex saw him smile a bit. Does Aaron think of them well-?  he wondered to himself.

Soon, it was election time, the auditor, P.R.O, treasurer and secretary spots were already elected, it was now time for the vice president spot. Thomas nominated himself, and Alex nominated for himself, too. He could tell that Thomas was glaring at him once he did. 

In total, there are 15 club members, and every spot has only two nominees, and with Thomas's reputation and Alexander's charming personality, it's probably going to be near to a tie.

"Alright, who votes for Hamilton to be vice president?" Sir Washington said loudly. 6 hands rose up and Alex looked over to see if Aaron was raising his hand. Alex just sat there in shock to see that Aaron was just sitting there, fazed. Sir Washington finished counting the hands and told them to put it down.

"Alright, those who votes for Jefferson, raise your hand." Sir Washington said. "You didn't vote for me!" Alexander whispered angrily. Aaron just gave him a look saying I don't care, then he rose his hand for Thomas. Thomas. Sir Washington finished up counting and concluded "Jefferson is the vice-president for this year." Alexander just gave Aaron a look that says I'm going to murder you once we get home.

After electing the president, Sir Washington dismissed club and the students got up to leave. Thomas, Andre, and someone went up to Alexander and Aaron "Hey, Aaron right? Thanks for the vote, it really helped" Thomas said reaching out his hand.

Aaron shook Thomas's hand and smiled "No problem, I feel like you are a good vice president, good thing you're not a manipulative person" then Aaron looked over at Alex, showing that he was referring to him, but while Aaron was turned around, Andre and the unknown person just laughed while Thomas just tried to quiet them down. "Well, Aaron, we gotta go, nice talking to you" Thomas said and left with the two following him.

Alexander just glared at Aaron and quickly left. Aaron knew that he was in big trouble with Alex once he gets there.
