How to Ruin a Groupchat Without Really Trying

Summary:

A day in the life of the Hamilsquad, via iMessage. Because there's not enough texting/messaging fics out there already...

Notes:

This'll be a multichapter fic, taking place over the course of four periods, a lunch, and an assembly. Alex/John is established. I'm not sure where this is going tbh

Chapter 1: First Period

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Wifey Eliza:

Dearest Angelica:

A.Ham:

you realize he presets the answers
ten questions, always the same answer pattern
a d d c a b b a d c

Dearest Angelica:

Dearest Angelica:

A.Ham:

My Laurens <3:

Dearest Angelica:
I'M SO FUCKING DONE RN I CALL FOR BANISHMENT

Go The Distance:
dude i failed his last pop quiz

motion seconded, time for a vote

A.Ham:
OH COME ON

Baguette Fucker:
d’accord. its a yes from me
sharing is caring, alex

Wifey Eliza:
angie is glaring at me and also i probably did terribly
so i vote for banishment

My Laurens <3:

Baguette Fucker:

A.Ham:

My Laurens <3:

Go The Distance:

iMessage: My Laurens <3

My Laurens <3:
they’re trying to decide how long to ban you.
mulligan’s trying for a week
me and eliza are pitching before the end of the period

A.Ham:
all bets are off if i get back before lunch

My Laurens <3:
just a typical tuesday for you
when you get back in want to retaliate
by being disgustingly cute?

A.Ham:
how dare you
im already cute

My Laurens <3:
no complaints here

A.Ham:
:-)
got nothing on you though

My Laurens <3:
you’re insatiable

A.Ham:
looooove youuuuu <3

Notes:

Class Schedule:
Alex: (1) Study Hall, (2) Biology/Franklin, (3) APUSH/Washington, (4) Newspaper ECB/Franklin
John: (1) Anatomy/Beatty, (2) Drawing III/Trumbull, (3) APUSH/Washington, (4) Study Hall
Angelica*: (1) AP English/Frederick, (2) French IV/Auguste-Bourbon, (3) Study Hall, (4) AP Euro/Romanov
Eliza: (1) AP English/Frederick, (2) Finite/Cannon, (3) APUSH/Washington, (4) Newspaper ECB/Franklin
Mulligan*: (1) Prob & Stats/Cannon, (2) Fashion & Textiles IS, (3) APUSH/Washington, (4) Senior English/Frederick
Lafayette*: (1) Theatre/Voltaire, (2) Finite/Cannon, (3) APUSH/Washington, (4) Senior English/Frederick

ECB - Extra Curricular Block
IS - Independent Study

* = Everyone is a junior but Mulligan and Angelica, who are seniors. Angelica studied abroad in London her junior year (and met her bf Church), that's why she's taking AP English (a junior class). Laf is a French Exchange Student, who has technically already finished secondary but is taking classes as a senior.

You get a dedication if you can tell me who Beatty, Cannon, Romanov (hint: a "Great" woman), and Auguste-Bourbon are meant to be. Hint: they were all alive during 1750-1790

Chapter 2: Second Period

Summary:

In which Franklin is the amalgamation of all my HS science teachers.
