THIRD PERSON POV;

Charles was sitting at a lunch table with Aaron, Theodosia, Samuel and K. George. (Aaron and Theodosia sitting on one side. Charles, Samuel and K. George on the other.) Charles was just picking at his food, not liking the choose of food he was stuck with. 

Charles just puts his plastic fork down and messes with his hair, making sure it stays swooped to the side. When Aaron looks over at Charles.

"Are you okay, Lee?" Aaron asks softly, Theodosia sitting next to him. "Yeah," Theodosia chirps in. "You seem upset and slightly anxious."

Charles scoffs. "You guys are reading too into my usual mannerisms, plus what is there to be upset or anxious about?" Aaron sighs at the response. "With everything you get upset at it's hard to pinpoint what you'd be upset about."

Charles rolls his eyes. "Okay, now your just being dramatic, I'm not always upset." Samuel pipes up, "Um...you kind of are, Lee." Charles groans. "Jesus, are you all pitted against me?"

"Perchance." K. George states, in his stupid fancy British accent, with a smug smirk on his face. Charles snarls at George, God he hates that man. "Remind me why he's here again?" Charles groans out. 

"Um... because he's my friend..." Samuel mumbles, looking down at his hands. "Yeah? Well, you need to pick better friends, Seabury, because your 'friend' here sucks." Theo snorts, covering her mouth. Samuel's frown deepens.

"Now, now let's not—" Aaron starts but gets cut off by K. George slightly shouting insults Charles' way. Aaron just sighs, sits back and watches the two fight verbally with poor Samuel in between them. Theo grabs onto Burr's arm.

"Why must the always be this way?" Theo questions, Burr sighs before responding. "I don't know, 'Dosia, but I wish they'd be more mature and quit this stuff soon." Theo nods and not too long after she does that— RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! Andddd there's the bell.

It shocks Lee so bad he jumps in his seat, bumping his knees SUPER hard off the sharp edge of the cafeteria table he winces, resting his head against the table. "My day can NOT get any worse." Charles whines out.

Charles feels blood leaking from his knee, but he pays no mind to it...It's probably ruining his school uniform. Samuel looks down and says, "Um...Lee? You uh...hit your knee so hard your... bleeding through your trousers..."

Charles grunts. "I can feel it, Seabury." Charles stands up, grabs his tray and walks over to a trashcan. All his friends soon follow suit. Just, everyone else went to their classes while Charles visits the nurse's office with Samuel. Samuel didn't want to leave him on his own, due to his care for others.

Lee limps into the nurse's office with Samuel by his side and the nurse looks over. "Hello, how can i—oh boy, what did you do to make your knee bleed like that?" The nurse asks Charles. "I hit my knee off one of the corners of the cafeteria tables." 

The nurse stands up. "Take a seat on the bed for me." Samuel assists Charles, helping him get on the bed. The nurse rolls up Charles pant leg, the puncture being pretty deep for a table. "Samuel, will you grab me gloves, disinfectant spray and some paper towels?" 

The nurse asks, Samuel nods rushing to get the stuff the nurse required. Samuel hands the stuff out to her once he'd gotten back to her side. "Thank you, sweetheart." The nurse says in a motherly tone as she grabs the stuff she requested. 

The nurse puts on the gloves, folds the paper towel and sprays the disinfectant spray on it. "Now, Charles honey, this might sting." The nurse says softly. Charles just stares down at her and nods in acknowledgement. The nurse puts the paper towel over the open wound.

Charles only makes a face as it gets cleaned. Once the nurse got down with cleaning she turned to Samuel. "Could you grab my bandages?" Samuel nods, reaches over and grabs them. Handing it to the nurse. The nurse dresses Charles wounds. Charles gets a new pair of pants.

For the rest of the day, Lee is limping around. He got out of PE and he's now walking home. He has Samuel and K. George by his side. Samuel had his hand in Charles making sure he stays upright. They are all silent through the whole walk until they reach Charles house. 

"Bye Lee, I hope your knee feels better soon." Samuel says, patting Charles on the back. Charles nods. "Yeah, I hope so too." Charles waves and opens his door, walks in and closes the door behind him. 

Charles leans against the door, sighing before calling out; "Sidney, I'm home!" Charles walks further into the house, but sees his sister passed out on the couch. Charles just sighs and walks up the stairs and into his room. He slumps his bag down to the floor. 

His glum face immediately perks up when he sees his two Black Russian Terriers. Charles smiles and walks over to the dog bed they were both on and gets on his knees. And he pets his precious dogs, he scratches behind their ears.

Charles looks around, spotting the almost empty food and water bowls. Charles stands up and walks other to his closet, he opens it and grabs the dog food from it. Charles brings it over to the food and water bowls.

Charles grabs a red solo cup and pours a full cup of food into the food bowl. Charles walks out of his room and walks into his and Sidney's shared bathroom. He fills up the cup with water and walks back into his room, he puts the water into the water bowl. 

He drops the cup into the food bag, he picks it up and brings it back into his closet. Charles shuts the door and turns to the pads in the corner of his room. His dogs were outdoor and indoor trained, which was good for when he has to be in school and couldn't walk them. 

He cleans up the pads and places new ones down. And then Charles sits on his bed with his backpack and opens it. He pulls out his textbook and his homework. He does his homework and does his homework until he hears his sister call out. 

"Charles, dinners ready!!" Charles closes his textbook and stands up, walking over to his door. Charles turns around and looks over to his dogs and says, "Kommen." And the dogs immediately run to his side. 

Charles opens the door, and the dogs run out, running down the stairs. Charles walks out, shuts his door and follows his dogs down. Charles walks into the kitchen and is greeted by the sight of his older sister setting the table and his dogs eating and drinking out of the food and water bowls that are in the kitchen. 

Charles helps Sidney set up the table and sits down in front of the plate Sidney made for him. And, unlike the school food, it actually looked good. Charles picks up his fork and begins to dig in.

Sidney looks up at Charles. "How was school today?" Charles swallows the food in his mouth. "It was...fine. I popped my knee into the corner of a cafeteria table." Charles responds, putting another bite into his mouth.

"Oh, was it bad?" Sidney asks. "It was kinda deep, bleed a lot. I'm fine now." Charles mumbles. "How uh...how was work?" Charles asks. "Long, grueling." Sidney responds. "Yeah, I could tell. You were passed out when I got here."

Charles and Sidney finish up their dinner, clean up and say their goodbyes when they part ways Sidney goes to her room and Charles takes his two dogs for a walk. He walks them around the yard, let them do their business and then takes them back inside.

Charles walks up his stairs, dogs by his sides and opens his room door, watching as he dogs rush in. Before walking in himself and shuts the door. He puts his stuff back in his book bag and sets it down on the floor next to his bed.

Charles shuts off his light, pulls down the covers and crawls into bed. He says goodnight to his dogs before drifting off to sleep.

THIRD PERSON POV;

James woke up to his alarm, he groaned and turned over. He shuts his alarm off and sits up, James feels a scratchy feeling in his throat. He puts his bawled up fist to his mouth, squeezes his eyes shut and coughs pretty violently.  James winces and leans back, the ache in his throat pulsing. He clears his throat, regretting it as mucus fills his mouth. James slings his legs over his bed, throwing his bedsheets off himself. James bends over his trashcan, spitting into it.

James walks over to his closet and gets ready, putting on his school uniform. He visits the bathroom and looks at his disheveled look in the mirror, he splashes water on his face. He dries it and looks back up in the mirror. It helps a little bit; his cheeks aren't as flushed.  James uses the restroom and then walks out, grabbing his back before opening his bedroom door. He walks downstairs and visits the kitchen. He sees his parents, his dad's sitting at the kitchen table and his mother is making breakfast, it smells pretty good.

"Oh, hello James!" His mother chirps. "Hey." James replies, sitting down at the table. "Your food smells good." James compliments. "Why thank you dear!". His mother says a BIG smile on her face as he turns back to cooking. James waits for his food, and he gives thanks to his mother when she places it in front of him.  He eats the bacon and pancakes with syrup (courtesy of his mom.) He makes small talk with his parents and once he's done, he rinses his plate and says his goodbyes as he leaves the house to go to head to school. He decided on walking to school for a while because the bus has begun to be too much over the years.

He's walking normally, until a car pulls up beside him. The car door window rolls down and it's Thomas. "Yoo, hop in." James walks over to the passenger side of his car, opening his door and getting in. James buckles himself in as Thomas lights a cigarette. James rolls down his window, not wanting to go into a coughing fit. They ride to school in silence, other than Thomas' rock music playing in the back. They get out of the car and Thomas puts his cigarette out with the bottom of his shoe. "So, how was today so far?" Thomas asks, wrapping his arms around James' shoulders. "Pretty good. Uh...you?"

"Could be better but fuck it we ball." Thomas says, before opening the school doors. "Yeah, I mean you were smoking. You usually only do it when your stressed and you never really do it around me, especially not in the car." James replies. Thomas shrugs as them make it to the cafeteria. They end up behind Alex, Laurens, Lafayette and Hercules. Thomas snorts and starts to taunt them; James just tunes out the back-and-forth fighting. Once it's their turn they get their trays and walks to their table as they do, they get dirty looks from the table with Charles, Samuel, Aaron, Theo and K. George. Thomas shoots dirty looks back to them.

They sit down at their respective table and eat. Thomas basically scarfs down his food and James barley eats anything because, he ate at home. Soon the bell goes off and they get up, they dump their trays and head to their classes. At the end of school, James packs up and meets Thomas by his car. He's smoking another cigarette, but he's making sure he gets it done before they get into the car. "Wanna come over to my place?" Thomas asks James. "Yeah sure." James pulls out his phone.

"I need to text my parents and tell them first." Thomas out out his cigarette and pats the hood of his car. "You can do that on the ride to my house, c'mon." Thomas hops into the passenger seat, buckling in. James follows, immediately texting his mother these heading over to Thomas'.

 

Momma 💗

 

James; Hey, imma stay at Jefferson tonight.

Momma 💗; Okay! Stay safe 😘

James; Will do.

James plays on his phone and looks up when the car comes to a stop, they made it to Thomas' house. James unbuckles himself and gets out, Thomas is a little delayed but he also gets out. They walk inside and the difference from the inside and outside is passout worthy. It was sunny with cold winds outside but inside it was HOT. Thomas audibly groans and turns the thermostat to the coldest setting before he starts walking upstairs, gesturing for James to follow him. Which James complies with, walking upstairs behind Thomas.

Once they reach Thomas' room and he opens the door, he hops into the bed. James walks in and shuts the door. "Yō, James, could you open a window?" James just nods, opening a window and he puts Thomas' fan in it. He's run this rodeo before. "Ah, you know just what I want. Thank you, James." Thomas hums, leaning back and smiling. "Yeah, you're welcome." James says, climbing onto the bed next to Jefferson and hoists his backpack up as well. "So, we gonna study?" James asks.

Thomas rolls his eyes and scoffs. "No? We're hanging out, not working on a school project." Thomas replies, putting his hands behind his head. "Oh. Then what are we gonna do?" James asks, in a slightly softer tone. "Watch movies, play video games, y'know the usual." And that's exactly what they do. They play games like Mario 3d world, COD and PJSK (co-op with just them) in which James ANNIHILATES Thomas at and at some point, they end up playing Minecraft and DDLC (which traumatizes them [real]).

They watch Marvel and DC movies. Comedy movies and lastly horror movies. They're in the middle of the horror movie Tarot, they're huddled up real close underneath a blanket. They eat snacks and drink sugary drinks as they watch and absorb the information the movie is throwing at them. James rests his head against Thomas' shoulder, Thomas returns the gesture by slugging his arm over James' shoulders. James pulls out his phone and checks the time, 10;30. It's past when he usually goes to bed, so it makes sense on why he felt so tired.

"Aaaaalllright Jamesy boy, I think it's time to sleep." Thomas says, pausing the movie. "You like having sounds in the background to sleep, right?" James nods. Thomas goes onto YouTube and searches up sleeping noises. Thomas puts all the snacks in his bedside table drawer. Thomas puts they're drinks on the top of the bedside table and turns to James, who was already laid down. Thomas snickers and lays down, pulling James into his arms. "Wow, your really sleepy." Thomas laughs as James grumbles something inaudible at him.

"Goodnight, Mads." That's the last thing James heard before passing out, Thomas laid in bed awake for around roughly an hour before also succumbing to his need to sleep.

THIRD PERSON POV;

Hercules is walking on the sidewalk trying to make it to school and that's when Lafayette pops out from behind a corner and screams; "Hou!" Hercules doesn't even flinch and just continues walking, now with Lafayette by his side.
"Ay, your no fun." Lafayette whines with his thick French accent.

"What, you can't scare me so now I'm no fun?" Hercules teases and that makes Lafayette whine louder. He looks over across the street, following the sound of voices and on the other side of the street was...Charles, Samuel and K. George walking together. K. George seems to be taunting Charles, and Charles not taking it very well.

It gets so bad Samuel has to step in between them while they walk. Charles is on the outside; Samuel's in the middle and K. George is on the furthest side. Speaking of walking, Lee is limping, and Hercules remembers yesterday. Lee got out of PE from bashing his knee off the cafeteria table.

He slightly feels bad for him; it just sucks to get that hard of an edge of a table hit into your knee hard enough to bleed just to get with your friends the next day and be teased the whole time? You gotta feel bad for the guy in some stand points. Hercules is in such a trance he doesn't hear Lafayette tell him to "Watch out!" Hercules bumps into someone, he would've fallen over if Lafayette didn't catch him.

Hercules looks up to see who he bumped into and... "Oh Alex, Laurens sorry. I wasn't looking." "Ah, it's okay dude." John replies and Alex just nods along. "Yeah, it's all good." And now that the whole group is together, they start walking to school together. "Hey, did you know that there's going to be new kids joining us?" Alex asks, "Oh damn, really?" John questions. "Yeah, they're apparently that Schyler guys daughters and there's three of them." Alex replies. "Damn, when are they transferring?" Lafayette asks. "Tomorrow, from what I thought I heard. Alex states. And then the walk to school was relatively quiet, other than a couple jokes here and there.

They eventually reach the school and walk in; they head to their lockers (that are conveniently next to each other) and they put their bags into it. They pull out their stuff for their first classes, which was textbooks and binders. "So, what do you think they'll be like?" John asks, walking Alexander's side. "Who?" Lafayette questions. "Uhh...the girls that'll be joining tomorrow?"

John replies dumbfounded that Lafayette forgot already. "Ohh yeaaahhh...Well, if they're anything like Philip not too good but not bad." Lafayette responds. They all depart as they reach their classrooms, Hercules goes into English. Lafayette is stuck with Math, John and Alexander have science. Hercules walks into the open classroom door and gets into his assigned seat, which was next to Maria.

Hercules just sat and waited for the teacher to arrive; he was looking down at a sketchbook. He makes a rough sketch of Lafayette, and he jumps when the door shuts, he immediately shuts his sketchbook book and puts it back in his desk. The teacher started to do rollcall to see how many students showed up.

"Maria?" The teacher calls out. "Here." She responds, in her caramel sweet voice. "Theodosia?" The teacher calls out. "Present!" Theo chirps out. "Hercules?" The teacher calls out and it shocks Hercules out of his trance. "I-uh...Here." Hercules replies. Some people in the class laugh at his mess up, but the teacher shoots them a look and they quiet down. "Charles ?" The teacher calls out. "here.." Charles mumbles out, in a quieter voice than normal. K. George must've really said something that put him down in the dumps... God, he's supposed to hate this guy but his life sucks so bad sometimes it's hard to hate him...Hercules hates that he can't hate the poor man. Soon enough the rolecall is over and the lesson starts.

Hercules picks up his textbook and sketch book and makes his way to his next class. Hercules gets so caught up in his mind and drawing of Lafayette, it's lunch time before he knows it. Hercules walks out of his math class and heads towards his locker, Lafayette swoops in by his side. They chit-chat as they make their way to their lockers, to find Alex and Laurens waiting for them.

"Yo, did anyone else notice Lee acting weird?" Hercules asks. "Uhh no? And why should we even care, we hate him, and he hates us." John says, rolling his eyes. "Yes, we hate him but that doesn't mean Hercules can't show concern. What did you notice, Herc?" Lafayette asks. "He was just... really quiet? He didn't talk during class at all unless he was called in and even when he was, he didn't talk loud like usual." "Huh, that is kinda weird...Sometimes it seems like he'll never shut up." Alex says, John snorts. "That's hypocritical for you to say." Alex glares daggers at John who puts his hands up in defense. "Kidding, kidding. But yeah that is weird, him not talking in class? That's weird. And honestly? The only weird thing I noticed was that he was limping." John states. "Yo, you guys think Lee and Seabury got it on last night and that's why he's limping?"

Lafayette asks in a joking tone. Hercules bumps Lafayette with his shoulder. "He's not limping because of that, dumb fuck. I saw Lee go the nurse's office with Seabury with a bloody knee, he did something to it." Hercules retorts, not appreciative of Lafayette's suggestive comment. Lafayette shrugs and shuts his locker. "Alrighty boys, we outta get to the cafeteria." Everyone else agrees and walks to the cafeteria and get in line.

And as if on cue, Thomas and James pop up behind them. "Well well, if it isn't the fag squad." Thomas teases, with James just standing idlily by his side. "Thomas, shut up for once, would you?" John asks, with a snarl. "Hah, that's funny for you to say with Mr. Hamilton over there." After more insults they just ignore Thomas.

They get their food and they pass the table Charles sits at so Hercules looks over and... Charles looks miserable. But Hercules doesn't get enough time to look him over, as he and his group get to their table and sit down. They talk and eat and soon enough, the bell rings and they get up and dump their trays. They go over to their lockers and pull the stuff they need for their next classes and part ways.

Hercules ends up finishing his drawing of Lafayette in the last few classes so they go by relatively quick. Get gets up and goes to his locker and Lafayette, John and Alex are all waiting on him. He gets his bag out of his locker and puts all of his stuff in it. "You guys wanna come to my house tonight?" John asks, slinging his bag into his shoulder. "Yeah I'm down." Hercules says, Lafayette just nods. "Sure, but I'll have to my homework there." Alex responds.

"Jeez Alexander, why do you write like your running out of time?" John teases. Alex nudges John, giving him and icy glare. "Well unlike some of you, I like keeping my grades up." "Yeah, yeah whatever you say hamilam." Lafayette teases and after everyone gets their stuff get walk out of the school, they head in the direction of Johns house. They talk about what they're going to do and they settle on a karaoke night.

Once they got to John's house, took their shoes off and put their stuff down. John jogs over to his speaker and connects his phone to it. "Alright boys, karaoke night is a go." And that's what they did for hours, sing karaoke passing around the two microphones that John owned to whoever wanted to sing. They eventually stopped singing and settled down to watch some movies. Alex and John are huddled up underneath a blanket together and Lafayette and Hercules are just sitting side by side.

By the end of the movie, it's only Lafayette and Hercules awake and their okay with that because that just means more hanging out for them. They talk and put on another movie in which they keep putting movies on afterwards, they stay up until twelve and figure its probably time for them to go to sleep. Hercules and Lafayette stand up and look over at John and Alex.

John is sleeping on top of Alex, his head on his chest. Hercules and Lafayette laugh about it before making a bed on the floor, Hercules was the little spoon, and Lafayette was the big spoon (since he's taller.) and they eventually fall asleep.

THIRD PERSON POV;

Peggy gets awoken by her dad Phillip Schyler saying, "Hey, it's time to get up and get ready for school." Phillip pats Peggy's shoulder and walks out of her room, presumably to get her siblings up. Peggy sits up and pushes her bedsheets off herself, standing up and walking over to her closet. She opens the doors and pulls out her school shirt and tie. She opens her drawer and grabs out the rest of her clothes and then grabs her shoes, heading into the bathroom to change.

Peggy walks out of his bathroom, dressed in her pristine uniform and grabs her already packed bag. She walks out of her room and goes downstairs, she walks into the kitchen. She gets greeted by both of her sisters up and sitting at the table eating. Peggy approaches and sits down. "Hey gals." Peggy greats picking up her fork. "Hey Peggy." Eliza and Angelica reply in unison. Peggy eats her breakfast and finishing a little after her sister's do. They follow their dad out to his car.

"Get in kiddos." Phillip says, buckling him in and Angelica gets into the passenger seat. Eliza gets into the right door seat as Peggy gets into the left door seat, Peggy pulls out her phone. She scrolls through tiktok without sound on and just tunes everything that's going around her out, not in a mean way but just cause that's what she always does, until Eliza addresses her; "Peggy, we're here." Peggy looks up and she's right, there the school is. "Oh, thanks sorry." Peggy unbuckles her seatbelt.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize?" Eliza says with a chuckle, her seatbelt already off. Peggy tucks her phone into her bag and opens her car door and steps out, flatting out her skirt before slinging the bag over her shoulder. She shuts her door and follows her dad and two sisters into the school. They go to the front desk to get registered (they came a little early just in case it took too long) and then waited for classes to start by getting the stuff they needed and putting their bags into their lockers. 

Once they get confirmation that they have started they get up and start heading to their classes, they start out going the same way but then they depart as Eliza and Angelica have science but Peggy has English. Peggy walks up to the closed door and knocks on it, the teacher comes and opens the door and goes; "Oh, hello. I forgot you were transferring, please come in!" Peggy walks in and stands by the teachers desk, attention from everyone on her. The teacher walks beside her.

"Everyone, this is one of our three new students." The teacher starts before turning to Peggy, "Please, introduce yourself." Peggy looks at everything and takes a deep breath. "Hello everybody um...my name is Peggy Schyler. Out of my sister I am the middle one..." The teacher nods, "Thank you Peggy, that was wonderful. Now please go take your seat next to Charles over there." The teacher says pointing at Charles, Peggy follows the teachers finger and...sees a rather emo looking boy.

He looks quite sad too...Peggy just hoped he wasn't weird. Peggy walks over to her desk and sits down next to the guy, he doesn't even look at her. She waves at him and he looks over, slowly waving back. Peggy turns her head to look at the teacher in the front of the class and the class starts. Soon it's over and she's sees Charles get up, grabbing his books and binders for the class. Peggy follows suit, wanting to catch him in the hallway. Charles walks out of the classroom, Peggy trailing behind him and they walk to their lockers that are next to each other.

"Hey, what class do you have next?" Peggy asks and Charles looks a little confused, like he didn't expect her to talk to him after the class. "Oh um, history.." Charles mumbles out. "Ah cool, I have Spanish." Charles nods as he starts walking to the history class room, Peggy follows as the Spanish room is further down the school than the history class. "Can we hang out at lunch?" Peggy asks Charles. "Uh...sure but I sit with four others at lunch if...that's okay?" Charles says and Peggy nods. "That's totally cool, see you then!!" She chirps as they part ways.

Eliza and Angelica walk into science class and introduce themselves. "Hi my names Angelica." Angelica says, presenting herself pretty well. "Hi...I'm Eliza." Eliza mumbles seemingly really shy. They get told to sit next to Alexander (who has John seated on the other side of him where their going to sit) and Eliza almost dies at the sight of Alex, she sees him and falls deeply inlove as she takes her seat next to him. Angelica sits down next to Eliza shooting her a knowing glance, giving her a smirk.

Eliza flushes, not knowing what reaction to have. She just looks down at her hands as the lesson starts and unfortunately they have to do a science project but they get to pick partners. Angelica walks over to Alex's desk and slightly leans on it, "Hey." Angelica says, grabbing Alex's attention. "Oh, hello." "You wanna partner up with my sister?" Angelica asks Alex, gesturing over to Eliza and she looks over with red cheeks. Her eyes are wide as she gets examined by Alex.

"Yeah, sure!" Alex smiles, the dude (John) sitting next to Alex looks a little disappointed when Alex agrees but doesn't say anything. Alex moves into Angelica's seat to get closer to Eliza so they can partner up, Angelica takes Alex's seat to partner up with the dude (John) that was sitting next to Alex. The project was on chemicals or something, Eliza wasn't paying attention, too focused on Alex. They put one liquid in a cup with another liquid and it explodes.

They laugh and clean up, soon enough the class is over. They grab their stuff and make their way out of the class. Alex and the guy Angelica (John) say their goodbyes and make their way to their lockers that had other guys standing by them to grab their stuff to get to their next class. "Oh my God, he's so cute." Eliza exhales deeply. Angelica nods giving Eliza a big smile. "I knew you thought so, that's why I asked if you two could partner up. I knew you'd be too scared to do it."

Angelica says, patting Eliza on the head. "Hey, I would've done it! Eventually..." Eliza mumbles, putting her stuff up and grabbing the stuff for her next class. Unfortunately Angelica did have the same class as Angelica, and they were in the other side of the school so they had to say their farewells early. Eliza head to English and walks into the class. She introduces herself and sits down to a 'James Reynolds'. She takes notes in her binder and the class starts.

Soon enough it's lunch time and Peggy meets Charles in the hallway halfway to the cafeteria. "Hey!" Peggy chirps, Charles looks over and he looked slightly baffled. He must've forgot I asked him if we could hang out at lunch... "Oh hi. Sorry, forgot we were hanging out..." Lee mumbles, looking down at his arms. "Ah, its okay man! Now, let's go get lunch and meet those friends of yours?" Charles nods, walking to the lunch line and looks over at a table. Peggy follows her gaze and there's four people sitting at a table.

One of them was a beautiful black woman with braided hair and around her arm was a handsome black man with a shaved head. On the other side there was a pretty slightly ginger brown haired man and next to him was a... mediocre white haired man, Peggy assumes these are his friends. Peggy and Charles grab trays, which consisted of stew, a roll and carton of milk...cool. Anyways, just as she has suspected they headed to the table with the black girl and boy and the ginger-brown haired boy and white haired boy.

Charles and Peggy stand by the side of the table and everyone at the table as their eyes on them. "Woah, Lee, finally get a girl?" The white haired man teases and Charles immediately scowls. The ginger brown haired guy, looks disappointed when the dude says it? "If you must know, she's just a new friend George. But anyways, she's going to start sitting with us." Charles says, setting down his tray and sliding into his spot next to Samuel. "Umm...where should I sit?" Peggy asks, Charles gestures for Samuel and George to move down which Samuel immediately obeys.

George whines but does the same as Samuel and Lee moves his tray as he moves down as well, Charles pats the open seat beside him. Peggy sits down and smiles. "Hello everyone, my name is Peggy. I'm glad you guys have allowed me to sit with you guys!" Theo nods with a smile. "Yeah no, it's so okay! I'm glad there's another girl in this group, it was beginning to be a TOTAL sausage fest." Theo chirps and looks over at Aaron before saying; "No offense, babe."

Aaron looks over at Theo with a grin. "None taken." Before pecking her nose, Theo giggles. "Oh stop it Aaron, you cheesy romantic you!!" George audibly groans, "Yeah Aaron, please stop." "Aww, Aaron, George doesn't like it!!! So you should keep doing it." Charles encourages with a smirk, Peggy giggles. "Y'know, I think I'm going to like this friend group." "You better, your lucky we even let you sit here." George grumbles and Charles shoots him a VERY dirty look.

"George, so help me god, if you don't be nice or shut up I will slap you into outer space." George just rolls his eyes and grumbles something underneath his breath, Charles looks over at Peggy with a sorry look on his face. "Peggy, I'm sorry about him. He has a permanent stick up his ass for no reason, we're all delighted to have you here." Charles gives her a smile and Peggy smiles back. "It's all good, Charlie. And I'm very delighted to be allowed here!" Charles slightly stiffens at the nickname but keeps the friendly smile on his face.

"Are...you okay?" Peggy asks and Charles just nods before George blurts out; "That's her deadname." "GEORGE, YOU ASSHOLE, SHUT UP!!" Charles barks, standing up. "Too far man." Burr mutters, looking down at the table and Theo rubs his arm. "Yeah, your friends with three trans people why are you being transphobic?" Peggy just sits there confused and concerned. "I—I always try to back you up, George but I can't with this one..." Peggy grabs Charles' hand and gestures for him to sit down.

"I'm sorry." Peggy mumbles, Charles looks down at her and his gaze softens. "Peggy— your all good, you didn't know. George is the problem." Charles says settling down by her and gives her a hug, Peggy nods and hugs him back. They pull away Charles is smiling. "As long as you don't say it anymore or intentionally we'll have no problems, Peggy."

Eliza and Angelica walk to the cafeteria and grab trays, Eliza looks around and sees Alex's head at a table. "Ooh, ooh there he is! C'mon Angelica, let's go sit over there!!" Eliza chirps, grabbing Angelica's arm and pulls her over to the table. Eliza sees Alex, the guy (John) from earlier and two other guys (Lafayette and Hercules) are there too. "Hi Alex...!!" Eliza says smiling and Alex looks up. "Oh Eliza, Angelica hi!" Alex's grin widens before Lafayette whistles. "Yoo, who are these chick Alex?" Hercules asks.

"This is Eliza and Angelica, the girls I said we're going to join us the other day." Alex says, looking at his friends. "Ohh, yeah I remember that!" Lafayette says and Eliza I slightly taken aback by his THICK French accent. "Sit down, let's chat before we have to go back to classes." John says, shoveling a bite of food into his mouth. Eliza and Angelica sit on the other side of the table that the boys aren't on. Angelica starts eating but slowly as Eliza kept a conversation going.

"So, what do you guys planned for this weekend?" Eliza asks and Alex replies. "Gonna get together play games." Hercules butts in with "Drink, smoke weed." John cheers and Lafayette laughs. "If you guys want to join us, you can." Lafayette says, offering a smile. Angelica shrugs, not to keen on parties. "If Eliza goes I'll go, I don't care too much for parties." Eliza smiles, "Well, if dad agrees we'll be there!" Eliza says before realizing, "Wait, we're going to need your phone numbers."

Hercules whistles again, "Wow that quick huh, are we just that Irresistible?" He jokes and Lafayette pokes his elbows into his side. "Yeah, totally understandable. Here give me your phone." Lafayette holds out their hand to Eliza and she hands over her phone. Lafayette types all their phone numbers into her phone and makes a group chat before handing it back. "There, now you can give us an update or even just text us on whims." He says with a smile.

"Thank you!" Eliza chirps, putting her phone up. "No problem." Lafayette replies, taking a drink out of his milk. They conversate until the bell rings Eliza, John, Lafayette and Hercules are the first ones in the, newly formed, group out of the cafeteria meanwhile Angelica and Alex kinda stay back for a moment. "Alex?" Angelica asks as he dumps his tray. Alex looks up, "Yeah?" "My sister really likes you, don't mess this up." Angelica mutters before walking off, leaving Alex astounded and his cheeks flushed red.

Suddenly someone bumps into him from behind, he turns around and it's a girl with a yellow bow in her hair. "Oh sorry, I was rushing to find my dad I'm sorry for running into you!!" The girl sputters out apologies. "Wait your dad works here, what does he do?" Alex asks her. "He's the new principal." She's says, straightening herself up. "Oh shit wait, your the third Schyler sister!" Alex says, holding out his hand and offering a smile. "I'm Alexander, I've already met your sisters!"

Peggy shakes his hand. "Cool! Sorry but I really put a be going so I can catch my dad before the bell rings, it was nice to meet you!!" Peggy says before running off. Alex just watches her leave before walking into the hallway and going to his locker to grab his stuff for his next class. He grabs his textbooks and binders before heading off to math.

Peggy walks into her father's office and walks up to him, she looks up at him and says. "Dad, can I go to a friend's house since today is Friday?" "Who's this 'friend'?" Phillip asks, crossing his arms. "His name is Charles Lee—" Phillip cuts Peggy off, "If it's a boy no, I'm not letting you run around with boys." Phillip says looking at her sternly. "But he's cool I swear!" "How so?" Philip asks, raising an eyebrow. "He's trans." Philip looks a little dumbfounded but sighs and drops his arms and his stern eyes.

"Peggy I really don't like you hanging around boys, trans or not. Him being biologically female doesn't change anything." Philip says and Peggy frowns. "I'll be safe dad I promise! He's a real trustworthy guy." "Peggy please—" Philip starts before looking down at Peggy and sees her giving him the puppy dog eyes. "I—...fine." Phillip mumbles and Peggy's face lights up. "Thank you dad, your the best!!" "Yeah yeah, now get to class before your late." Phillip says with a chuckle and ruffles Peggy's hair.

Peggy nods and smiles real wide before heading to the door. "Bye dad, thank you again!" Phillip just nods with a smile on his face. Peggy leave the office feeling satisfied and shuts the door behind herself. She pumps his fist into the air and skips over to her locker and opens it, grabbing her stuff. Before heading to her Science class. Peggy exits her last class and exits into the hallway and opens her locker and grabs her back, stuffing her stuff in it. When she hears someone lean on a locker next to her.

Peggy looks over and sees Charles, she smiles. "Hi Charl!" Charles give a small wave, "I have a drivers permit so we don't need to ride the bus." Charles mutters, Peggy looks up at him. "I have a drivers—" "I asked if you wanted to hang out with me so I'll drive. It'll be fine, I drive my parents car all the time." Peggy just nods, "Just a little nervous since you only have a permit and you can only drive with an adult with that."

Charles shrugs. "It'll be fine. I won't drive too slow or too fast, I'll try as hard as I can to try and not be suspicious." Peggy nods, Charles motions for Peggy to follow him as he walks to the front of the school nearing the doors. Charles opens one of the doors and says, "Ladies first." And Peggy giggles walking out with a hand in her chest and says. "Wow, you gentleman." They share a laugh as they make their way to Charles' parents car. Charles opens the passenger side door for Peggy too and she climbs in.

Charles shuts the door and walks around the car, getting in the driver's seat. Charles puts grabs his keys from his bag before throwing it into the back, putting the key into the ignition. He and Peggy put their seatbelts on and Peggy put her bag down at her feet. Charles adjusts his rearview mirror and puts the car into reverse, he pulls out of the parking spot. He turns the car into drive and fully pulls out of the school parking lot, Peggy gets a notification from her phone.

Peggy unzips her bag and pulls her phone out, it's her being added to a group chat. She clicks on the notification and unlocks her phone, Charles hears typing and thinks nothing of it that's until he hears a camera shuttle noise. Charles slightly turns his head to Peggy for a second before turning his head back to the road. "Sorry, my sister wanted to know who I was with." Charles hums and pulls into a store parking lot, putting the car in park. He sits there until Peggy gets off the phone.

Charlds pulls off his seat belt and gets out of his side of the car, he shuts the door. He walks over and opens Peggy's door, she hops out. "What are we doing here?" Peggy asks, looking up at the Walmart sign. "We're getting bleach, hair dye and an ear piercing kit." Charles says, closing Peggy's door. They walk to the door and walks through the automatic doors of the Walmart, they walk right past the carts as they only need three things. "Yo, do you wanna dye your hair too?"

Charles asks Peggy. "I was going to ask if you wanted to dye and pierce but you already have your ears pierced." Charles explains. "Oh sure, I think that'd be cool!!" Peggy chirps, smiling. "Cool, I think imma get blue what color do you want?" "Oh um...maybe yellow?" Peggy stummers out, smiling. "Your a yellow fanatic huh?" Charles asks Peggy with a chuckle as they walk into the hair dye section. "Wow, convenient that they have ear piercing kit here too." Charles says, picking a pack up.

Eliza meets up with Angelica at their lockers, not noticing their missing sister at first. They conversate as they grab their stuff and meet up with their father at the entrance. "You girls ready to go?" Philip asks, pulling his car keys out of his pocket. "Yeah!" Eliza says with a smile as they walk out to Phillips car. They all get in their spots in the car and get out onto the the road and Eliza and Angelica gets text from the group chat and that's when Angelica notices Peggy is not in the car.

Eliza asks. "Dad, can me and Angelica hangout with people this weekend?" And Phillip responds with a sigh before saying "Sure, I guess." Angelica realizes that Peggy isn't here and adds her into the chat, they talk before than end up getting home. Angelica get out of the car with Phillip and Eliza before heading inside, Phillip shuts the door and says. "Are you guys going over there tonight or tomorrow? I just need to know so I can make dinner sooner if I need too." 

"Umm... Hang on let me asks." Eliza says, tapping her screen and waiting for a response. "They said tonight would be best." "Okay, can I get a time?" Phillip asks. Eliza types more. "6:30." Phillip nods and heads to the kitchen to start cooking. Angelica goes upstairs to pack and she packs her notebook, laptop, extra clothes and a toothbrush with tooth paste. She props her bag up by her bed and sits down her bed and grabs her homework and gets started on it.

By the time Phillip calls her down for dinner she's done with homework, she puts it in her drawer before standing up and going downstairs. She puts it in her drawer before standing up and going downstairs. She walks into the kitchen and sits down at the dining table and Phillip sets a plate down in front of her. She digs in very slowly and she looks at Peggy's empty seat, slightly off put. She finishes her plate and pushes it away, she looks over at the oven's clock and it was 6:10. She speaks up and says, "We should probably get going."

Phillip nods and stands up and walks over to the sink to clean the dishes while the girls went upstairs to grab their bags. By the time they came back down Phillip was standing at the door, keys in hand. "When you girls get there you better be respectful and civilized." Eliza and Angelica nods. "We will dad." Angelica says, before they head out of the house and get in the car. As they drive to the address the boys sent Eliza sends a text saying that were on the way over.

Phillip makes a turn and pulls up in a driveway, he puts the car in park. He says goodbye to his girls as they step out of the car, he watches as they walk up to the door and knock. A man with his black hair up into a ponytail greets them a let's them in, shutting the door behind them all. Phillip puts his car into reverse and pulls out of the driveway before driving back home.

Peggy and Charles get back into the car. Blue and yellow hair dye, two boxes of bleach and a piercing kit. Charles puts the bag into the floor board in the back and Charles buckles himself in. "Ready to go to my house and get this shit started?" Charles asks, smiling at Peggy. "Yeah, let's go!" Peggy exclaims before giggling. "This is going to be SO amazing! Though, can we stop at my house? I wanna get my nails polish." "Yeah of course...I mean we could've bought nail polish from here."

Charles says, putting the keys into the ignition. "Yeah...but I didn't want to make you buy nail polish I already have and I didn't pack my nail polish cause you took me here from school." Peggy says, fidgeting with her hands. "True, anyways let's get going." Charles puts the car in reverse and pulls out of the Walmart parking lot. After a while they pull into the Schyler's driveway behind Phillips car, Charles puts the car in park and pulls his seat belt off. They get out of the car and walk into the house.

Peggy walks into the kitchen and Phillip is cooking. "Hey dad, we came to get my nails polish." Peggy says, making herself known and Phillip looks over. "Ah, this is the kid?" Peggy just nods and turns to Charles. "Stay down here while I go grab them." Peggy says, not giving Charles time to reply before running upstairs and going into her room. Charles and Philip stand in awkward silence before Phillip says, "Don't let anything happen to her." As he gives Charles a stern look and Charles erratically nods.

"I uh...yeah, I planned on it!" Charles stammers out and Phillip chuckles as Peggy runs down the stairs a bunch of nail polish in her arms. "Okay let's go!" She says rushing towards the door, dropping some on the way. Charles walks after her and grabs the nail polish she dropped, they go outside. They get into the car and start their drive to Charles' house. Once the get there they rush inside and run up to Charles' room, Charles shuts the door and grabs gloves.

Charles dumps the Walmart bag into the floor and Peggy puts the nail polish down on the ground. Charles and Peggy sit down, Charles opens one of the bleach boxes. Charles puts the stuff into the bottle and shakes it up. "You or me first?" Charles asks, Peggy shrugs. "Maybe me, so I can learn what to do." Charles nods and puts down the bleach bottle and puts on gloves. "You should take your shirt off so we don't get bleach or dye on it...If you feel comfortable with that of course."

They eventually bleach and dye each other's hair, they successfully pierce Charles and then move onto nails. Charles paints Peggy's blue and Peggy paints Charles' yellow, they listen to music SUPER loud on Charles' TV. They jam out while hanging out, they dance and sing duets before they end up collapsing on the bed, panting. "God this is fun, we need to do this more often." Charles says with and smile and Peggy nods in agreement. Charles checks his phone and looks at the time and it says 8:50 pm.

"We should probably get ready for bed it's almost nine." Charles says, sitting up. "You can take my bathroom, I'll change in here." Charles states and stands up. Peggy nods and stands as well before walking over to the bathroom with her bag and walks in. Charles walks over to his closet and grabs out a Sum 41 shirt, taking off his normal shirt. He slips the Sum 41 shirt on and takes his pants off. He throws his pants and shirt into his laundry bin was he passed it while walking up to his dresser.

Charles grabs out a pair of shorts out, he puts them on before taking his shoes off and walks over to the bathroom door. He knocks. "You done? Asking so I can brush my teeth." Peggy opens the door and lets Charles in. They brush their teeth side by side, they use mouthwash and floss before heading out of the bathroom. "You wanna share the bed with me or make a makeshift bed on the floor? Either is fine with me." Peggy works the options in her head before saying;

"I think I wanna share the bed, if that's alright?" Peggy says, looking up at Charles. "Yeah that's cool." Charles crawls into bed and lifts up the covers, inviting Peggy under. She gladly sides under the covers and takes her hair tie out of her hair, putting it on Charles' night stand. Charles and Peggy slightly huddle up together before Charles reaches up under his shirt and pulls his binder off and sets it down into the floor before turning on his side facing Peggy and closes his eyes. They both end up falling asleep............

Chapter Text

third person pov;


burr woke up by sliding off the side of his bed— great! he gets gets off the floor with an audible groan, he rubs his head and walks to his closet. he grabs out his clothes and walks to his bathroom, he closes the door behind him. he quickly gets changed before brushing his teeth and swishing mouthwash around in his mouth before untimely spitting it out into his sink. he walks over of the bathroom and grabs his bag that has already been packed and neatly placed at the side of his bed.


he walks out of his room and goes though the living room, he stops and turns his head to look at his kitchen, debating on weither he should make something to eat or not...in the end he decides against it because the had already woken up later than intended, he'd just eat at school! easy solution. he walks out of his room and starts his journey to school, not too long after he started walking down the sidewalk theodosia came bouncing up to his side. she hangs off of him while holding his hand, burr looks down at his beloved girlfriend and moves some of her hair behind her ear.


"how are you doing today, 'doshia?" he asks with a smile on his face, theodoshia returns the smile when she sees the big on on burr's face. "it's been great! i woke up early and touched up my makeup really nice with the extra time! don't you think it looks better than usual?" she asks, batting her eyes at burr jokingly and burr pays her head in return; "i think you look just as beautiful as you always do my love." burr hums out, giving her a peck on the cheek.


theodoshia giggles and tightens her arms on his arm. "Awee stop!! you're too nice to me." she says with a bright beautiful smile and burr rests his head against hers. "ew, stop being lovey dovey you freaks!" charles says in jokingly disgusted tone before jogging up to burr's left side. burr rolls his eyes at charles' banter with the smile still on face and lifts his head off of theodoshia's. he looks over at charles and his eyes immediately go to his leg and burr stutters out; "oh uh— how's your leg doing, feel any better?" charles nods and looks down at his own leg. "it's healing fine, and it didn't hurt today."


Burr nods along with what Charles says, his smile growing knowing his friend is doing good. "That's good, I'm glad! I hope it heals right up for you." Charles looks at Burr and smiles before looking off to the side. "thanks." Charles perks up when they come across Samuel's house, they all stop and wait for him to walk out of his house as they do, they all talk among themselves, soon enough the door opens and out comes Samuel...and K. George?? I guess George spent the night, odd but Burr doesn't question it. He notices that Charles almost immediately shrinks into himself when K.George steps out of the house with Samuel.


k. george snickers when he sees charles, probably thinking of all the ways he can make charles miserable today...perfect, he loved it when his friends actively hated each other and did stuff to piss the other off! He hated it. He wished they'd stop because after years of being stuck with them fighting it got super old super fast...but he wouldn't tell them that, it'd make him feel bad. guess he'd just have to be stuck with being as miserable as k. george made charles (which was a lot.) Burr sighs as soon as Samuel and K. George approached, George went straight to Charles.


he started poking at charles and saying random mean shit, charles groans and turns away from him, not wanting to start fighting this early in the morning as he had just gotten up and his day was going good so he just settled for going behind burr and theodoshia as samuel and k. george took his spot beside them. Burr felt bad for him as George always pushed Charles around and pushed his buttons so frequently almost with no breaks...but he couldn't focus on that at the moment, he had to focus on getting to school, he made a mental note to check up on Charles later.


they finally made it to school, it takes them at least ten to fifteen minutes to arrive on foot depending on how slow they walked. Charles always stayed at least a good five feet behind them due to k. george, which he hated because it looked like they were leaving him out..they kind of were but it was all because of george! he didn't want to leave him out, he'd never want to leave any of them out!!...well, maybe george— but who wouldn't? (Samuel, but that isn't the point.) They push through the school door and go to their lockers, taking out the stuff they need for their first classes – fortunately he had the first class of this period with Charles so he can ask him if he’s okay on the walk to the class!


They all split up, leaving Charles with Burr, they walk side-by-side in the hallway and Burr turns his head to look at Charles. “Hey.” Burr starts, causing Charles to look up and turn his head in Burr's direction. “Are you okay? I saw how George was picking on you and how you were behind us while walking here.” Burr asks, giving Charles a comforting smile which causes the other male to sigh. “He’s just annoying Burr, I'm fine. You don’t have to worry about me, okay?” Burr makes a face when Charles says that, making Charles look away. “Charles. You’re my friend, I'm going to worry about you. Especially when I know you were pushed around by someone you don’t like.”


Burr says with certainty and sincerity, Charles' face goes red with this sentence as he’s embarrassed he has to have this talk with his best friend. “I know that but genuinely, I’m fine. It didn’t bother me that bad, just annoying.” Charles mumbles, trying to get the flush off his face. “If you say so man.” Burr says, still concerned but is willing to push it off if he doesn’t want to press the issue if Charles doesn’t want to talk about it. They arrive at the class and walk inside, sitting down in their seats. They wait for the class to start.

Soon enough the school day goes by in a flash and Burr is putting his stuff in his locker before pulling his backpack out. He slings it over his shoulder and walks up to Theodishia, wrapping his arm around her shoulders while waiting for the others. Once they approached they all walked out of the school, getting onto the sidewalk so they could walk home. The walk was silent except for the talking Samuel and K.George were doing. George’s house came up first, thankfully making him depart. So Charles moved up beside Samuel and started to talk to him. Soon Samuel's house came up and — Both Charles and Samuel went in.


Burr and Theodoshia exchange a knowing glance before waving and continuing on their way. Theo’s house came up next and sadly the couple had to split, they shared a short kiss. “Bye baby, see you tomorrow!” Theodoshia chirps with a wave as she walks up her porch. “Yeah, see you ‘Doshia!!” Burr says back with a smile and wave before turning and going further on the sidewalk. After ten minutes of slow walking to watch things pass by, Burr arrived at his house. He unlocks it and walks inside, closing the door behind him. Burr walks up to his room and sets his bag by his bed before walking to his closet.


Burr changes from his school uniform into a black sweatshirt, grey jeans and socks. He walks back downstairs and gets ingredients to cook dinner for himself. He decides on making a noodle bowl, he grabs his noodles, ground beef, wontons, green onions, red pork and a pot. He puts water in the bit and sets it aside to boil, he opens the ground beef, puts it on a plate and pops it into the microwave. He grabs a pan and puts it on the stove, before cutting the green onion. He sets it aside before getting the meat and puts it in the hot pan, grabbing a spatula. He starts cooking the ground beef, breaking it down into smaller pieces.


He cooks everything he needs to exactly as he’s supposed to, soon he grabs a bowl and puts all the cooked food into it, mixing it all around before setting all the dirty dishes into the sink and sitting down at the dinner table, a fork on the table he put in the middle of cooking but forgot about, he picks it up and starts to eat. He hums as he does, he really outdid himself this time. Eventually he is done and he puts the dishes in the sink and begins to do them, he washes them, dries them and puts them away before walking back upstairs and sits down on his bed.


He pulls out his phone and checks his notifications, he notices that Theo texted him so he texted her back…and he does that until he has to go to bed, he texts her goodnight and shuts his phone off, setting it on his bedside table. He reaches over and shuts off his lights, plopping back down into bed and covering up, slowly but surely falling asleep.

if i ever come back to the fandom you can expect this project to be picked back up but with better planning. this is not saying i will never come back but this also isn't guaranteeing that i will come back. i might in the future but as of now i am putting this story on hold.


im sorry if this disappoints you but there is nothing i can do about this.


hopefully ill be back in the fandom so i can continue writting this for you guys but i don't know if that will happen, i hope you understand.
