  "We need a third wheel to do our bidding," Thomas said out of nowhere. James just randomly looked over at him from his locker. "Should I even ask?" He didn't know if it was a good idea to ask.

    Thomas pulled out a yearbook. "We've always been known as the evil duo. We need, like, someone to do our bidding and tasks that we can't risk..." He informed James.

   "Who calls us the evil duo?" James asked, slamming his locker shut, starting to walk off. Thomas, of course, follows him. "Pretty much everyone," Thomas threw his hands out.

   "Hm, I guess I've been so busy helping you steal lunch money, I haven't noticed.." James responded, starting to understand. "However, it'll be really hard to find someone to do our bidding. Who is easy to manipulate? Who is a complete weirdo. Wouldn't it be cool if they were bald! Our hair is already fabulous, but it'd make our hair look even better if the squad had someone with no hair!" Thomas started to get excited.

    James chuckled. "I mean, there's that weirdo known as Aaron Burr over there. I heard he's a complete psycho path when you get on his nerves," James pointed to a boy handing out fliers with a smile.

   "That goodie goodie? Yeah, I don't know," Thomas crossed his arms, unsure if Aaron's the one.

    As Aaron walked into the west part of the school, Thomas pushed Aaron into the janitors closet. James then followed inside once the coast was clear.

   "Aaron! You are being initiated!" Thomas smiled, jumping up and down. Aaron just looked at him and James. "Why are we in the janitors closet?" He immediately asked.

   "How would you like to be part of the coolest group in school?" Thomas tried to act convincing. "Wait for it," Aaron randomly sang. "Wait, What?" James said aloud to Aaron. He then whispered,"What're we waiting for?" To Thomas. His boyfriend just shrugged.

    "My grandfather was a preacher," he said with a straight face. "Um," Thomas mumbled. "They died. I'm an orphan," Aaron randomly informed.

    "Did someone say oRpHaN!?" Alex slammed open the door with a huge grin. "This is our chapter, not yours!" Thomas shooed him away, shutting the door and locking it this time.

    "Um," James then mumbled. "They left no instructions," Aaron said directly after. "To What?—Having a good social life?" That comeback felt like a huge victory to Thomas as he felt a smirk come upon his mouth.

    "Talk less," he smiled. "Hypocrite," James whispered. "Let's go," James opened the door to let Thomas out. Thomas then locked the door with a smile. James grinned in response.

"He'll join us now," Thomas laughed,an oddly enough, Evil laugh and James kissed him. "You're so evil, Tommy!" James congratulated him, taking his hands. He started coughing and Thomas grew a concerned look.

    "Cough less. Die more," They both heard Aaron chant from the closet. James and Thomas just stared at the door. They heard banging against the door as Aaron yelled,"Death doesn't discriminate!"

    "I'm not sure how I feel about that," James said as Aaron was obviously having a panic attack in the closet chanting stuff about waiting for something. "What are you waiting for?" Thomas asked, expecting him not to hear. "There's a reason for everything! The reason I'm in here is so I can find the love of my life!" Aaron hollered. "New phone; who dis?" Thomas joked.

   That's when a girl walked passed. She had dark hair and very pale skin. Her hair was kind of wavy, and she was wearing a tannish dress. "Hey, you. You the love of this man in a closet's life?" Thomas grabbed her arm. "What's going on?" She asked, urgently as if he just assaulted her. "Omg, totally sexist. I'm totally just gonna, like, run or-" She freaked out in a valley girl voice. She then noticed the look on Thomas and James' faces.

   "I'm joking, guys." She smiled, trying to hold back the laughter. The two were still staring at her, confused. "I'm Theodosia Prevost. You're Thomas, and you're James? I was told to stay away from you two. Where's Aaron?" She introduced herself with a wave.

     James opened the door and out fell Aaron. He let out a scream as he fell onto his face. She giggled a bit. "Hey, Aaron. Eliza Jumel is also looking for you. We're setting up for the bake sale," her voice was sweet.

   Aaron's eyes lit up. She walked off with her papers. "Man, nice," Thomas laughed, impressed. "I'm going to be in the same room with my two crushes. Just me." His voice was so lovestruck that Thomas and James smiled.

   "Go for it, man. Love doesn't discriminate, I guess." James smiled at him. Aaron Burr started to run off, but then turned around with a small grin. He was sweating so badly, so his smile was sorta week. "I take it back. You guys are pretty cool. I'll join the group," He then ran off.

    Thomas and James smiled. "So, last period is History. We're learning about Lin Manuel Miranda, so let's just skip. I hate that guy." Thomas nudged James' elbow. "Oh, heck yeah. I'm so mad at my mother, I don't even care at this point." James planted a kiss on Thomas's lips as they slowly walked out the door, then ran.

    Hercules ran through the halls. He had to fill Marquis' place in the council for the day. He kept running 'till he got there. The principal had him go in his place and take notes.

     He sat himself down in a chair as Aaron Burr and two random girls sat down, too. "I have come in honor of the magnificent, Marquis." Hercules waved his hand as he sat down. "Where's the cute french kid?" Theodosia asked as Jumel nodded with a grin. "Well, you're obviously talking about Marquis. He's such a cutie," Hercules hugged his clipboard. "Where is he, anyway?" Jumel ignored what he just said. "That's confidential," Hercules pointed out.

     "Then why do you know?" Theodosia squinted her eyes. Hercules grinned at her. "He's my hot boyfriend. Jealous much?" He laughed, joking. Theodosia and Jumel squealed. "O.M.G! That's so cute! You mean to tell us that you're freaking gay? Do you wear makeup? Do you like pink? How do you like your men?" They started darting questions at him.

    "Enough!" Aaron Burr hollered. "We only have 30 minutes for this period, so let's get a move on. The bake sale is in 1 week and we don't have things ready! Maybe, if we would stop letting these stupid homo's run our council, we'd actually get things done. What's you're obsession with them anyway?" He threw out everything at once.

    Theodosia, Jumel, and Hercules just stared at him. Hercules felt a few tears form in his eyes. "Don't talk about my boyfriend like that. He is the most beautiful, sweet, sassy, and funny person on this Earth. He might as well be Beyoncé!" Hercules threw his clipboard at Aaron Burr and shoved him out of his chair.

   "Gay versus straight- Who will win?" Jumel said to her pencil as if it is a mic. Aaron Burr got up. He then pushed Hercules back, but he was too strong. Theodosia ran out of the room crying and that's when Aaron Burr just collapsed to the floor. "I'm a weirdo. Make me poor and call me Alex," He said shamefully to the ground.

    Hercules was about to walk over to help him when a teacher walked in. "Mulligan! Burr!" She screamed, clenching her fists. She pulled the two by their ears into the principals office.
