Alexander POV

I walk in the corridors very angry. Charles and Aaron ???

"Yo Alex!" John says behind me. I turn around and smile at him.

"Hey, John. What's up?"

"If I'm fine ???!!! Alex, I should ask you, after what I saw yesterday ?? !! " He says, raising his voice and making a gesture with his hands.

"What happened yesterday?" I ask.

"I saw you and Aaron." I tensed.

"Does he hurt you? I saw you crying in his arms, " He says worried.

"It's nothing to worry about that," I say, patting him on the shoulder.

"You're sure?" I nod.

"Bye !!!" I say, walking quickly to my next class, to avoid his questions.

Aaron POV

I leave my class and go to my locker. I put my things.

"Hey Burr !!!" Cries Hercules with Lafayette and Laurens. I turn around and give them a smile without emotions.

"Hello. I have to go, I do not have time to..."Hercules firmly closed the door of my locker to look me in the eyes.

"What have I done yet? Or rather, what didn't I do? "I say sarcastically.

"Alex, what did you do to him?" He say, frowning.

"Sorry, I don't like to repeat, I already told to Jo ..."

"And we don't believe you," says Lafayette, interrupting me.

"You just have to ask Alexander, I'm sure you didn't, Laurens," I say in an annoyed voice.

"No, because I'm sure you're lying to us." I get into a laugh.

"What will it be for me to lie to you? And besides that I lie or tell the truth it always ends the same way. "I say looking at Hercules in particular.

"What do you mean by that?" Asks Lafayette. I look at Hercules before turning around and feel someone grab my hand. WHO TOUCHED ME ???!!! I always mutilate myself, so the pain is very strong.

I withdraw my arm very quickly, before giving a glare to the one who dared to touch me in this way. Lafayette.

"You didn't answer me," Says Lafayette.

"Why will I do it?" I say ironically. I walk away from them to hear cry of...Charles?

* Back on topic *

Alexander loves me ??? !!! I can not believe it. It's a nightmare. He's right, I hate him. He's the one who pushed me to maim and hurt me. Why!!??? He lies to me? It's a joke ?? His friends do not like me and me neither. I want to die !!!! Wait...That's why he blushed all the time when I was with him! That's why he asked me if I'm going out with someone? That's why he told me he doesnt like Laurens? WHY AM I SO UNCONSCIOUS ?? !!! But ..... I don't see the thing with Charles.

"you love me?" I ask. He nods. He squeezes my hand. If I stay with him his friends will leave me alone, right? I have to try.

"M...me t...too," I say, giving him a fake smile.

Suddenly, I feel his lips on mine, I didn't kiss back. My first love is Theodosia. And now, I have to pretend to love Alexander? I don't know if I can handle it. He walks away and looks at me. HE KISSED ME!!! THE ONE THAT I HATE KISSED ME !!

"Do you need some time?" I nod, smiling and pulling him in a hug. Since I did not kiss the hug could replace it. He squeezes me in his arms.

I move away to find answers to my questions.

"Alexander?" He smiles at me,

"Yes, Aaron."

"Since now, we're together...I don't really know what we are, but we should say everything to us, right?" He nods. The smile doesn't disappear from his face.

"I don't understand the thing with Charles." I say shyly, not wanting to annoy him. His smile gone. He looks away before answering me.

"I saw Lee hug you ... I was a little jealous," He says, muttering the last sentence.

"A LITTLE ???!!!" I repeat outraged. He's blushing. I sigh and nod, to tell him I understand.

"And why were you intimidating me?" He blushed more and more.

"I don't know if you can understand." I take her hand.

"It doesn't matter if I don't understand...I...I'll stay with y...you whatever you say." I don't think what I tell him.

"It was w...when I... I saw you with Theodosi ....I...I was jealous of her, I didn't want you to stay together, for you to notice me I intimidated you...I know it's stupid and I'm just an idiot, but I wanted..." I cut him up and give him a hug. He trembles and has tears in his eyes.

"Shhh...you're not an idiot, you thought of doing well, that's all and...no...now, I...I'm with you." He's right, he's an idiot. I do not understand him.

"Thank you," He says.

I move away from our embrace to wipe his tear. I smiled at him. Always a small compliment to start.

"You're so beautiful, Alex, I... I'm lucky t...to... have you." He blushes and hides his face and puts it in my chest. I am going to throw up.

"I love you, Aaron," He says shyly.

"M...me too," I say hesitantly.

"But what about Laurens in all this? Do you know he loves you? " He looks at me and gives me a kiss on the cheek that makes me blush.

"I told him I don't feel anything for him." He says, smiling and hugging me.
After a moment I move away from Alexander.

"You have to sleep Alex," I say. He sulks, but gets up from the couch.

"Good night Aaron," He says, going to his room.

"Good night," I says, closing the door of my room. I throw myself on my bed. I write in my diary everything that happened and I insist that I'm not sure of loving him, that there are many words that I didn't think, after what he did to me and that I do it mostly so as not to have to be intimidated and to suffer in silence.

After finishing writing I fall asleep.
