I think I have a problem.

I then remember Hamilton. He acts innocent at the Washintons house. But when I'm not with Laf or Aaron he is bullying me.

I sit down next to Aaron. He is texting someone on his phone. I read over his shoulder as the great friend I am. It's Lafayette.

Laf: so what do you think?

Aaron: I dunno, but she seems into you

Laf: really? I really hope she likes me?

Aaron: you should ask her out!

Laf: but if she rejects me our friendship might be ruind!

"Peggy!" Aaron jumps. "What are you doing?"

"Who does Laffy Taffy like?" I ask, wiggling my eyebrows.

"Unimportant." he says. And goes back to texting, unaware I can still see.

Aaron:It Laf?

Laf: yeah?

Aaron: Peggy read our conversation over my shoulder.

Laf: non non non what does she think? How much did she read? Did she read my love confession speach translated into English? Ahhh!

Aaron: it's fine. As far as I know she doesn't know who it is.

That means-no. I stand up and walk to the front of the bus. I sit with the nerds, Samuel and Hercules Mulligans.

Lafayette has a crush on a girl. Not me, but who would like me? I don't know why I'm sad, I guess it's because I thought he was hot. But that doesn't matter, soon he will have a girlfriend.

I don't talk to Lafayette or Aaron all day. I don't talk to anyone all day. Not a single person.
