Prom's tonight. I'm taking Theo with me, of course. It's been like, a week or 2 since I've been hanging around Thomas and James. They've really taught me so many things. How to be chill, popular, cool and shit. I feel like a different person. Which isn't a bad thing.
I haven't talked to my old group of friends lately. Why would I? I got what I've ever wanted. Popularity. All thanks to Thomas and James. Mostly Thomas though. Thomas made me realize how lame my old friends are. How much of losers they are..
I'm currently walking down the hall with Thomas. Everyone looking at us. I never knew how much I love attention.
"Hey, your girl is over there." Thomas pointed at Theo. I watch her as she open her locker and put her stuff away. She's so beautiful. I walk up to her. I rest my hand on the side of the lockers.
"Hey Theo." I grin.
"Oh. Hi Aaron.." She say quietly.
"Ahem." Thomas walks up behind me.
"Hello Thomas." she groans.
"So, uh what time am I picking you up tonight?" I gaze into her eyes.
"Um, 6-7 is ok I guess." She said.
"Great. I can't wait." I looked her down and up. Thomas starts snickering. He pats my back and we walk away.

It was lunch. I was outside sitting at a bench with the gang. Well, minus Burr.
"I can't believe Burr. He is so un-loyal. He ditched us for popular-guy Jefferson. Jefferson completed brainwashed him. It's like I don't even know him anymore!" Peggy ranted.
"I know. Now he's one of the popular people." Lafayette added.
"But I guess that's what he wanted? We were just his backup until he got to the top." Herc sighed.
"You know what guys? He isn't worth our time. His karma will come sooner or later. Trust me." I say. Trying to make everyone feel better.
"I agree!" Eliza announced. Sigh, I almost forgot she was here. She was holding my arm, snuggling up against me. Her head leaned on my shoulder. I was uncomfortable. Not only because how she's laying on me but because this didn't feel right. I don't feel the spark that she feels with me. I-I feel-
"Alex, I just wanna remind you that you have to pick me up around 7ish and don't forget to wear a blue tie." Eliza said.
"Why do we have to match? I find it stupid. Can we just do our own thing. Like you wear your blue dress and I'll just wear a normal black tie?"
"No! Come on Alex. It'd be so cute." She batted her eyelashes. I groan.
"I need to go to the bathroom." I immediately get up and go in the school.
As I walk I slide my phone out of my pocket and call John.
Ring... Ring... Ring..
"John please. Pick up, pick up, pick-"
"Hey it's John,"
"John! I-"
"I'm either busy or ignoring you. Call-"
I hang up. I get to the boys washroom and go into a stall. I slam the stall door and slump on the toilet lid. I cry. I'm stressed, I'm sad, I'm angry. I don't know how to feel exactly. Or to react. Maybe I should feel scared. Scared that I might loose John. Or angered because he won't tell me what I did exactly. Sad that he won't talk to me. Stressed because I don't know what to do.
I sat there a little. Probably for about 5 minutes. I then get up and leave the washroom. I walk through the halls, I see Mr. Washington's room and stop. I see paper. Lined paper. I get an idea.

Dear John,
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever I did. I'm sorry. I can't figure out why you're upset. I guess I'm very clueless. Please talk to me. Even write a letter to me. You can't just leave me like this. You have to talk to me. I don't want to loose you. You're very important to me. I have never met anyone like you in my whole entire life. I'm not exaggerating. You're amazing. You're extremely fun, smart, funny, talented, and more. All I ever wish is to see you. Look at you in your eyes. Talk you.
But if you never wanna talk to me ever again. I understand I guess. I'll miss you. Very much.
Alexander Hamilton

I finished my letter. I scan over it.
...This is stupid. I crumpled it up and threw it away. How would a letter make anything better? Tsk. Asking the same question over and over again isn't gonna help, Alex! This is-
"Alexander?" I dart my head to where the voice was coming from. It's Mr. Washington.
"My apologies sir, I was just about to leave-"
"No, no. It's fine. I don't mind. Were you looking for me?" He asked.
"Well, uh.. actually yes." Mr. Washington arched an eyebrow.
"Okay, let's say a good friend of yours is upset with you. But they won't tell you what happened. Well, except that he heard you get into a relationship over the phone. What would you do? Do you have an idea on why they're upset?" I ask.
"Well, seems to me they had already told me." He answered.
"How?" I ask.
"Well he's upset that I got into a relationship. He's heartbroken. I would make it up to him."
"But why would he be heartbroken??"
"Think about." It was silent for a few seconds.
"Now, I need to get some work." He softly grinned.
"Oh, yes. Of course. Um thank you. Oh yeah, don't think that this is real because I totally made that up from the back of my head." I informed quickly.
"Of course. Totally made up." Washington sat down on his chair.
"Exactly." I stood there a little. I kicked the floor lightly.
"Okay bye." I then exit out the room. I heard Washington chuckle a little. I smile.

I was getting ready with Herc. Laf wasn't with us because he was with the girls. He wants to surprise Herc likes it's their wedding or some shit. Even though Laf isn't gonna wear a dress, he's wearing a suit like us, but whatever.
I was wearing a blue tie. A light blue tie. Light blue isn't my colour. I could do dark blue though.
"You ready to pick up our dates?" Herc pats me on the back.
"Mhm."
"You don't sound excited." I shook my head.
"No, I am. I'm totally hyped." I try to sound more enthusiastic.
"Good. Now, let's get to the schuylers." I nod then follow him downstairs to his driveway.

ding-dong
The door opened. Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler come out and start attacking me. Not literally but you know,
"Oh my god Alexander! You're so handsome! Philip, oh my goodness go get Eliza! I can't wait till you see her she looks absolutely gorgeous I can't wait to see your reaction! You know what! I'll just get her myself, Philip hold my camera!!" She bolts upstairs to grab Eliza.
Mr. Schuyler slowly walks up to me.
"If you hurt her, I hurt you. Got it?" I sweat.
"Y-Yes sir."
"Alexander!!" I look up.
Eliza slowly and gracefully walked down the stairs. She had a beautiful blue dress. I'll admit, she looked absolutely stunning but it didn't make my heart skip a beat. It didn't give me goose bumps. It didn't make my jaw drop.
She walks up to me. Looking down, then up.
"AW YOU GUYS ARE THE CUTEST. LET ME TAKE SOME PICS FOR THE FAMILY SCRAP BOOK!" She starts flashing a bunch of pictures of us. My mouth was getting tired of smiling.
"Honey, give them some space. Plus, you left a young man at the door and have you forgot that there are 4 other people upstairs right now??" She sighed.
"I apologize Alexander. I'm just so excited."
"It's fine." I grin a little.
Mrs. Schuyler goes upstairs to get everyone else. They all come down. Angelica has a pink dress on. Of course. And Peggy has a Yellow dress. Of course. There was Laf in his nice suit with a pink bow tie and this one girl with a red dress.
"Alex!!" Peggy speed walked to me.
"This is Maria. My girlfriend." Ah, makes sense.
"Hello." She greeted. She was very beautiful.
(an: just bc he said she's beautiful doesn't mean he's attracted to her!!)
I turn my head to Laf and Herc. Herc was amazed by Laf. He looked in love. Though Laf was wearing a suit, Herc still hyped him up and was still shocked. I love them. They're literally perfect.
I then turn my head to Angelica. It doesn't seem like she has a date. I walk up to her.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Hello.." She responded.
"Where's your date?" I looked around.
"Don't have one. My sisters convinced me to go though. So, here I am." She grinned.
It was silent between us until she broke it.
"Listen, about that kiss.." She went on.
"It's fine, it's cool. I know why it happened. You like me." I say. She was shocked a little.
"N-No!" I arched an eyebrow.
"Yes.." She covers her face with her hands.
"Angelica it's fine! I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way. That's okay though! Doesn't mean we have to stop talking." I say.
"Can we just pretend it never happened?" She asked.
"Of course." I smile. She smiles back.
I leaned in and hugged her. I don't think she expected but she eventually hugged me back. We pulled apart and she was smiling.
"Thank you Alex." She says. I nod.
I did it. I fixed something. I made things right. I'm proud of myself. One less problem off my plate.
"Alex!! We gotta go now come on." Eliza walks over me and tangles her finger into my mine. Sigh, this is gonna be a long night.

We're in the school gym. The dance looks pretty much exactly like the valentines dance except no hearts and cupids. There were flowers, crazy lights, a food table, a banner, etc.
I glanced over and I see most of the gang dancing to a song. Eliza grabs my arm and pulls me into the dance circle our friends created. Everyone was really into it but I wasn't. I wasn't as hyped as they were. I want to secretly sneak out and sit at the bleachers. I have too many things on my mind to dance right now.
I exit my way through the crowd of people and flop down on the bleachers.
John is heartbroken because I'm in the relationship with Eliza. Why? I don't think he could- would he, possibly..
"Ha, sitting on the bleachers by yourself. Sad." I look up.
"What do you want?" I asked Burr.
"Because seems to me you came over hear to do the exact same thing but decided to make fun of me for doing it." I said before he could say anything.
"Nah. I came because I saw you here and decided to see what's up." He explained.
Tsk.
"Burr just fuck off. I'm not in the mood to deal with you Jefferson minions." He snickered.
"Um excuse me but I am my own person. Me and Jefferson are just good friends-"
"Blah, blah, blah. Can you just fuck off now?" He throws his hands up.
"Easy there. I'm going, I'm going." Then he turns around and walks away. Finally.
A slow song came on.
"Oh god," I start climbing up the bleachers, going to the top where hopefully Eliza won't see me.
"Alex!" But sadly she caught me as I was doing it. I follow her to the dance floor and I put my hands on her waist, and she puts her hands behind my neck. We start swinging back and forth.
This song isn't as intense, so it's easier to think.
I like John. He's funny, smart, talented, amazing, cool, and so much more. I want to be with him all the time. Talk to him everyday. Just to see him smile, because when he's happy, I'm happy.
He's just the light of my day. When a day is just so shitty, he makes it so much better. No matter how shitty the day was. I can't go another day without talking to him. He's like water, I can't live without it.
I froze.
I know. I know! I know why John is mad! And I know why this feels so wrong.
I know what to do. I know exactly what to do.
