New Little Immigrant Boy
Hamilton's POV
Mr Washington ushers me into my classroom. The other fifth graders' heads turn. There's a poofy haired boy sitting next to another boy. I look at their name tags.

The poof head boy's name was Thomas Jefferson. The other boy's name was James Madison.

"Hi! I'm Alexander Hamilton." I introduce myself.

Thomas looks at me weird. "The immigrant boy?"

"Yeah."

"Immigrant boy! Poor little immigrant boy!" Thomas points at me and yells. More than half of the room laughed and joined.

Eliza POV

My sisters and I were tardy to school. Angelica goes to her sixth grade classroom and Peggy to fourth grade. When I get to my class, there's a really cute new boy. And Jefferson is making fun of him.

"Hey! Stop it Thomas!" I yell.

A hush falls over the room. "What are you doing, girl?" Thomas says.

"Well your being sexist and racist!" I shoot back. My dad told me that is someone thinks your less than them because you're a girl, they're sexist and if they do that same thing but with race, they're racist.

Well, dad told that to Angelica, but I overheard it.
