Okay, I swear I'll make this chapter longer.

Another note: This story is modern, just in case if you were wondering.

Enjoy!

"Well, c'mon, Alex!" Mulligan yelled, yanking his arm to sit down next to him in the booth, with John sitting next to Lafayette. "Sit down and order some damn cheese curds! Oh, and John? You're paying, by the way."

"Wait, what?!"

"Oui oui, mon ami, that was zee deal we made yesterday!" Lafayette said with a laugh, making John angry and causing him to punch Lafayette in the arm. "Um, OW!" he declared in pain, grabbing his arm.

"Oh, grow a pair." Mulligan stated, but his attention was then drawn to something else, or someone else; The Schuyler sisters. "Guys, guys, look! Near the kitchen doors! It's them! Wait…Angelica's coming towards us…!"

The three of them were the most popular girls in school, also the girls who have turned down so many boys. Angelica even turned down both Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. Same with Eliza and Peggy, but Angelica was always the main 'target,' you could say. She was always the center of attention out of the three. Eliza was a little too shy, and Peggy just didn't want to get into any drama.

"Hey, boys." she said, with all the guys staring at her. Well, everyone except Alexander and John. They both stared at each other, shrugging and drinking their waters. "Let me first say that I'm not here to flirt or hook up, but which one of you is Alex?"

Choking on his water, shocked that she would want to talk to him, Alexander slowly raised his hand, nervous of what she would do to him. "Yes?" he asked.

"My, uh- My sister, Eliza, wants to talk to you." Her face started to turn red, while Alexander turned towards John, and spotted that his face was turning red as well. John looked the other way, not wanting to show that he was somewhat…jealous.

"I'd be happy to." Alexander answered, looking at Angelica and following her towards Eliza. John, on the other hand, stared at the two for a little bit, then hit his head on the table and groaned.

"Oooooh, looks like someone's in lovvvvve!" Mulligan said, causing John to lift his head up and give him the death glare. "Hey man, I'm just sayin' that you gotta make a move before he gets taken. I mean, it's obvious he's into you. He's been into you for a while now. Trust me, I have my sources. But still, you should make a move, right, Lafayette?"

"JUST MAKE A MOVE!" Lafayette yelled, making the whole restaurant stare at their table. "My bad…" he confessed, hiding his head.

"Dude. You've had too many Pepsi's."

"You never know…" he whispered, as he sipped his fourth glass of Pepsi.

Mulligan sighed at Lafayette's actions, but decided to go back to the topic of John's love life. "Look. You don't have to confess right away, I guess, but still. Do it soon, okay?"

"Whatever you say." John mumbled, resting his chin on his palm, continuing to stare at Alexander with the three sisters in pure jealousy. Eliza really looked like she was madly in love with him, but so did Angelica. At least that's what John thought. But he knew that his dreams would never become a reality. He'd never be with Alexander. Not romantically.

Dreams of John Laurens kept on occurring in Alexander's mind last night. He could barely keep his eyes open the next day. He had already made the mistake of asking out Eliza Schuyler. The girl was nice and all, but Alexander liked someone else. Alexander shook the thought out of his head and started to focus on the present, which was the White House Tour; the field trip he always wanted to go on. The only downside was that John wasn't in the same tour group as he was, so they barely saw each other. They could only talk during lunch, which was in the White House. But little did they know that trouble was heading their way.

"Alexander, my man," Jefferson said, hitting Alexander on the shoulder from behind. Alex turned around, spotting him and Burr, both smirking at him for an unknown reason. "So I heard from the grapevine that you hooked up with one of the Schuyler sisters, am I right?" He pointed towards the three sisters, who were sitting at another table at the other side of the building. "I have to say, I'm very impressed. Hey… How'd you like to ditch these losers and sit with us? You'd fit in just fine if you're dating one of the sisters."

Alexander began to choke up a little bit. He didn't know what to pick, due to the amount of pressure that was placed upon him, but John decided to step in to help. "Back off, guys. Let him be." A smile slowly began to form on Alex's face.

Another cliff hanger. Whoops. XD DM me suggestions for the next chapter! I'd love to hear ideas from you guys. :)
