(Unedited and a quick filler chapter)

..

When Thomas finally got home from his little shopping spree in Times Square, he was surprised to be tackled by his friend, James.

"Thomas, you've got to see this video-" he said impatiently, untangling the bags from his friend's hands and leading him to the couch.

"What video?" Thomas questioned in utter confusion, raising an eyebrow at his friend's random behavior. James pulled him down to the couch, tapping quickly on his phone and with a wide smile. "There's this kid trending on YouTube right now, you've got to see him." James pulled up the video and nearly shoved his phone in Thomas' face.

The video played and the focus adjusted on a foreign looking boy dressed in some nice fitted jeans and a long sleeve sweater vest. Thomas shot James an annoyed glare but the other motioned him to watch. His eyes shifted back to the screen where he saw the boy skate around the rink, performing spins and jumps. He wasn't even skating to music, and Thomas watched as he occasionally flicked hair out of his face when skating and admired the calm movements he did. His seemingly black hair flew behind him as he skated around once more before skitting to a stop and posing before the cameraman laughed and the video was ended.

"So..? What do you think?"

"I think he's pretty basic."

"Basic?!" James gawked, looking at his friend in pure bewilderment. He snatched his phone away to rewind it but Thomas groaned.

"He's just like any other skater, Jem. They all skate because of some wack backstory and hope to win the championship to go to Disney world and cure world hunger." Thomas leaned over to dig in his shopping bags to find his new skates.

"But," James attempted to gather his attention again. "Didn't you say you'd want to coach someone? I mean, what was the point of dropping out of the championship? It can't be because of George Fredrick, right?"

The curly headed virginian gagged and rolled his eyes, "Like I'd ever drop out because of that peice of british bullshit-"

"Wait, didn't the boy in the video look similar to the boy whom Fredrick publicly shamed in 2015's competition?" James pulled up the video on his phone again and rewatched it. Thomas leaned over to get a closer look before nodding.

"That's him, alright," Thomas was surprised to say the least and starting rethinking James' idea about coaching him.

"I heard he's an orphan, got adopted by the Washington family years ago. Apparently he's from some long lost island in the carribean. Sounds like a dark and mysterious type person with a sad backstory."

"Hm, I know a Washington. Is one of them by the name of George?"

The smaller of the two nodded and showed a picture of the small family. For some reason, James could pull up all their information in a few seconds. Maybe those hacking classes he took with Angelica are starting to pay off.

"Contact them. I'd like to meet this boy."

...

"So I told him to suck an elephant tit."

"Alexander-!"

"What? He shouldn't have half assed me with my Pepsi. He decided to act like I didn't see him fill the cup up with ice, do you not understand that with more ice, that's less soda, and mORE water!"

"Alex, shut up!" George sighed, pressing his fingers to his temples to calm his raging head ache.

The immigrant shut his lips but that didn't stop the unbreakable glare that started to form between him and his adoptive dad.

"Now, the reason why I called you in here is because I just got an email from that Jefferson skater guy and he'd like to meet you." George huffed as he attempted to calm his headache.

"W-what?" Alexander gasped, immediately biting down his upcoming insult and replacing it with shock.

"Ugh, why are you so loud?" Washington surely felt like banging his head on the table and ending it all. Someday, he thought, shaking his head to clear from the dark thoughts.

"You said Jefferson would like to meet me?!"

George slammed his forehead down on the table, startling Alexander who looked at him concerned. "George?"

He didn't move.

But he wasn't dead.

Yet.
