An unreadable look crossed Angelica's face. She knew very well who John was, but like hell she was going to admit that. "Um, n-" she cut herself off, a twisted smile forming on her face. "Oh, John! I haven't seen you in years! I hardly recognized you!" She exclaimed enthusiastically. It was all fake. From her smile, to the sparkle in her eyes. "You've changed!" She said. Peggy looked utterly confused. She had overheard her sister mumbling things of hate toward the freckled boy to Eliza one night, saying how she wished she'd never been his friend. Leaving behind her best friend really did tear Angelica apart, but she held in her emotions.

John's face lit up at his best friend's enthusiasm. "I'm so glad you remember me!" He cheered, getting schooled glances from the other students in the halls. A few girls gawked, wishing to be in that position. Angelica's smile was more fake than a barbie's waist. "Hey, come with me so we can catch up before class!" She exclaimed, leaving her sisters confused. Well, Peggy looked dumbfounded. Eliza was sort of suspicious, but recognized her sister's devilish grin. "Come on, Peggy," she whispered to her sister, grabbing her arm lightly. Peggy just shrugged and walked away with her older sister.

Lafayette and Hercules stood dumbfounded. No one had ever managed to become Angelica's friend so quickly. Or so they thought.

Angelica led John down the hall, him receiving stares, and even some winks. He ignored them, happy to be reunited with his best friend.

Angelica stopped at an empty classroom. "Perfect." She mumbled, smirking behind John's back. John just followed her in. Angelica quickly turned around. "Alright, John. Cut the shit. Why are you here!?" She shouted, causing John to flinch and give her a confused look. "What- What do you mean?" He asked, feeling a bit tense. Angelica inhaled sharply. "You think that's just because I was your 'best friend' all those years ago means that you can just bounce in here like a bunny and RUIN my reputation with your loser germs?!" She screamed, her eyes filled with rage, yet sadness.

John's eyes widened. "I-I thought-" "Yeah! You thought, but you didn't know." Angelica scoffed. "Angie.." John whispered on the verge of tears. "My name is Angelica. Not 'Angie'." She responded coldly. "Now, get out of my sight, you skank!" She hissed, shoving John. She glared at him and smirked evilly, then walked out of the room.

John blinked, trying to process the actions that just took place. Angelica seemed to hate him, but why?

John felt something he thought he'd never feel. He felt enraged. He clinched his fists, clenching his jaw. If Angelica was going to be a salty bitch, two could play at that game. Or maybe six.

His pain filled tears quickly vanished, but his broken heart remained the same.

John quickly made his way back out in the hall to try and find his new friends. He didn't need Angelica anymore. There were two others that could replace her easily.

Lafayette looked over Hercules shoulder as they conversized about their classes. "Hey, there John.." he mumbled. Hercules looked back at the cold looking boy with a quizzical expression. "Uhh...?" "She lied." John said, his fists clenched. "Oh.. I'm so sorry, mon ami.." Lafayette sympathized. "No, no. It's quite alright. I have two other friends that equal way more than she ever could." He said, giving a smile toward the two boys. Hercules and Lafayette smiled at him. A new friend was always nice.

"What're your plans for this afternoon?" Hercules asked as the trio walked down the hall to their first period, Math. "I don't really have anything to do, honestly." He grinned sheepishly, shrugging. "Parfait! We must take you shopping!" Lafayette squealed, hugging onto Hercules' arm. John chuckled. "I'm up for it," he replied, shoving his hands into his pockets.

"Then it's settled!" Lafayette exclaimed as they reached their classroom. "Me and Herc will pick you up at six, oui?" Lafayette smiled. "Laf, it's 'Herc and I'" Herc corrected softly. Lafayette chuckled sheepishly. "Oui.."

"Sounds good to me!" John giggled.

As the three filed inside the class, they took a seat in the back row. Well, except for Lafayette, who sat in one of the middle rows of the class.

Soon, Angelica walked in holding hands with a boy a bit shorter than herself. The boy had beautiful brown eyes, and straight brown hair that was pulled into a ponytail. John had to blink twice to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Then, he realized he had not a chance with the beautiful boy, whom was sharing a kiss with Angelica. John sighed to himself. He was most likely straight as a board.

John grimaced at the sight of Angelica, who tried depending the kiss. John's eyes twitched. Angelica was really starting to push his buttons.

"Schuyler! Hamilton! You can resume snogging after school!" The math teacher boomed. John jumped slightly in his seat, snapping his attention toward the teacher. He had grey hair, and a scowl on his face. "Snogging?" Angelica asked, scoffing. "Snogging. To kiss someone. Maybe if you'd keep your grades up, and stayed in advanced classes, you would know that." The teacher said coldly, receiving hushed snickers from some students. "Whatever." Angelica mumbled, then turned back to the 'Hamilton' kid. "See you later Lexi Wexy!" She cooed, winking and sashaying out of the room, the sheer pink fabric of her extremely skimpy shirt flowing behind her as if she were an angel. Yeah, an angel with red horns.

John growled under his breath at the hateful girl, returning his gaze to the teacher, whom was presumedly discussing the math lesson. John quickly got out his notebook, and adjusted his glasses. He then wrote down the problems from on the board that was assumed by John to be as straight as whoever the 'Hamilton' kid was.

John wrote furiously, his pencil breaking a few times. Was he working on math? Well, about 30% of what he was doing was math. The other 70% you may ask? Drawing turtles, and other fantacies that played in John's head.

Hercules looked over to John's writing. He wanted to see what John was up to. Hercules tapped John on the shoulder, causing him to jump slightly. Hercules chuckled quietly. "Did you need something?" John asked, unamused. "Just wondering what you're doing is all.. Woah! Did you draw that?" John tilted his head, then looked toward his notebook. "Oh, you mean this?" He asked, gesturing to his turtle drawing. Hercules nodded, smiling softly. "Yeah, I did.." John mumbled, blushing of embarrassment. Hercules smiled. "It's wonderful, dude!" He whisper yelled, patting his friend on the back. John smiled. "Thank you!" He responded.
