"I'm very confuzzled," John stated.

Lafayette laffed. "I see what you did there. Confused plus puzzled is-" He stopped talking as he noticed his friends staring at him. "Assuming all of you already know that then," he muttered.

James nodded. "Yep."

"Nothing's happening," John continued. "I expected Dad to just, I don't know. Kill me."

"We don't know if it's even your father or a friend of his who hacked Eliza's account," Theo said.

Lafayette hummed. "Good point."

"Did she change the password? Eliza, I meant," John asked Peggy.

"Duh. She ain't gonna let this hacker see anymore stuff," she answered.

"Good, so now we wait for his moment to strike."

"Do you really think it's him? Have a little hope."

"I don't think. I know."

Theodosia and Peggy gave each other concerned glances for their friend.

"Guys? I, uh, there's something I've been wanting to tell you..." Alex said earning the attention of all his friends.

"Did you and John finally get together? If so, I'm telling Pegs," Maria chuckled and took out her phone.

"Well, yes, we did, but that's really not the point."

The whole room suddenly became so loud. Squealing and shouts could have been heard in every direction.

Aaron spoke up, "Thank that we are in your dorm and not in a public area."

"Yes, I do.." Alexander mumbled. Once the noise quietened, he said, "I said that it wasn't what I wanted to talk about."

"Then what is it?" Eliza questioned.

"I, uh, so... there's someone messaging me-"

"I'm sorry, what?" Angelica suddenly stood up from her seat and started pacing around the room. "Do you know how many strangers out there?! Ha! And I thought you 'didn't like social interaction'," she said air-quoting. "This guy could fricking what? Kill you? Of course he can-"

"Shush, Angie, you're scaring the poor guy," Eliza frowned standing up as well and patting Alexander's head, much to his dislike.

"I'm not his — whatever his or her or their pronoun is, but most likely 'he' — friend," Alexander grumbled. "Don't wanna anyway."

"Did you block him?!" Angelica suddenly exclaimed.

"Of course, I did."

She sighed. "Thank god." She sat back down letting her mom-mode slip off into the distance and become her normal calm self.

"Please continue, Alex. I need the tea," requested Jefferson.

"Oh, do you? Bitter tea, perhaps?" Alex grinned.

"Ooh la la, mischief, I like," he smirked. "Spill."

"Y'all won't like it," he mumbled. "Someone's stalking me."

Everyone had to cover their ears tightly as they heard the muffled, yet loud scream from Angelica.
