John's POV

   I hopped down the stairs and sighed, grabbing my keys. I headed out to my car and drove to the Schuyler's house, picking up my best friend. Peggy jumped in the passenger seat and squealed. "Maria asked me out last night and Angelica said I can tryout for the cheer leading team!" I chuckled and grinned. 
   "Congrats, Pegs." I started driving and got into the line at Starbucks. When it was our turn to order I ordered my iced coffee and Peggy practically climbed over me to order her caramel machiatto. We got our drinks and headed off to school. Peggy bounced into the school and I trudged after her. We sat down on our bench and Laf and Herc joined us. 

Alexander's POV

   I pulled my hood over my head as I entered the school and huffed. I'm deaf. It's like muting the tv without captions. It sucks. I wasn't born deaf. When I was nine my father threw my head into a wall so hard it knocked out my hearing. I can talk and read lips so it's not awful. I sighed as people bumped into me and jostled me. Not many people at school know I'm deaf so they push me around and ignore me. I pulled my hoodie lower as I passed the Prep Table. That's apparently what everyone calls the table where the most popular seniors sit. I'm a senior but I'm sixteen. When I came to the country they had me take a test to see what grade I'd be placed in and I tested high enough to not even have to go to high school but most colleges prefer a high school diploma. So I took more tests to get the necessary credits to be placed in twelfth grade. I headed to class early and plopped down in my seat. First period is history and the teacher lets me come in early so I don't get picked on. "Good morning." I mumbled, putting my head in my arms. A hand was placed on my shoulder and I looked up. 
   "Everything alright?" George asked, I shook my head and huffed. "Want to talk about it?" I shook my head again and he crouched in front of me. "Is it about rent?" I bit my lip and George smiled. "If you need help-"
   "No." I mumbled, he smiled and stood up. 
   "You can come to me if you do." I let my head fall again and huffed. Soon kids started filtering in and John Laurens slid into his seat next to me. He's the most popular kid in school, quarterback. I honestly don't see the hype. He is pretty attractive but I still don't see it. All the girls basically throw themselves at him. I sighed and pulled out my notebook. History is my favorite class because I like the subject and George is the only teacher who actually makes sure I can see him when he teaches. My other teachers turn around in the middle of talking and I miss important parts of the lecture. John smiled at me and I rolled my eyes. I sighed and George tapped my desk, signalling he was starting the lesson. I perked up and watched his lips as he spoken, for the test on Friday. John leaned over and I leaned away frowning at him. 
   "Are you going to the game Friday?" I ignored him and went back to taking notes. When class was over I hurried into the hall and someone grabbed my shoulder. I spun around to find John standing in front of me. 
   "What?" I spat.
   "Are you going to the game?" 
   "No. What does it even matter to you?" I spat.
   "It was just a question. Geez. We're playing Princeton High. The team's trying to get the whole school to go." 
   "Tragic. I'm not going." I turned to leave and he grabbed my arm. 
   "Please?" I rolled my eyes and yanked my arm away, flicking him off as I left. 

John's POV

   I sighed as Alexander flicked me off and stalked off. Peggy bounced up next to me and grinned. "He likes you."
   "What!" I nearly yelled, my face went 'O_o' and I stared at her. "He does not! He literally fucking hates my guts." 
   "He was staring your lips." 
   "My lips?" I blushed a bit and Peggy smirked. "Can you get him to go to the game?" 
   "I'll try but you know how he is." Peggy is kind of friends with him. She's mutually friends with his best, and only, friend, Katherine Livingston. "If I can get Kitty to go, I'm sure she'll get him to go." I nodded and smiled.
   "Thanks, Pegs."
