This is set during American in Paris, like I said before. I bet you never
thought that episode was really important. I mean, it doesn't have a single
S/J moment, right? But see, that's where I come in. Sarah isn't in this
chapter, just like James wasn't in the last one, and from this point on,
like in the show, they're not going to be together as much.
And, I actually DO know Spanish. But I've been studying it since Kindergarten, and I still don't even know about half of it. Pretty sad, isn't it? Just shows how much the foreign language program sucks here. I DO know how to conjugate verbs though! Anyways, here's Chapter Twelve...
Well, Sarah beat me out of the city. So, when Alexander Hamilton came here, I was inclined to go with him. And it's not like Moses or Henri could give me the advice I desperately needed.
I mean, Sarah's in Boston, and I'm on my way to New Jersey. We've set up camp for the night.
I blow on my hands. I'm freezing and it's not like the fire's helping.
"Hey, Mr. Hamilton? I have a problem and I was wondering if you could help," I ask, teeth chattering.
My friend looks up and grins.
"Please, James, call me Alex. Anyways, what do you need help with?" He replies excitedly.
I look to the flames for guidance.
"Well, there's this friend of mine. His name is... Uh, Jim! And, so Jim has this problem with this friend of his... A friend who's named... Uh, Sadie! Anyways, so Sadie is uh... A Tory! And he doesn't know what he should do about that!" I whisper incoherently.
Alex looks confused. And who wouldn't be with that description?
"What's his problem exactly, James? I didn't quite catch that," Alex asks, subtly making fun of me.
I really don't care. Which is why I'm laughing my head off.
"Well, uh... Jimmy is Sar-I mean Sadie's best friend. And he has... I mean, he uh... She... Let's just say that he has uh... More than, um, friendly, uh, feelings for her," I stutter.
Alex starts laughing at my incoherency. I'm so nervous I am too.
"Anyways, uh... What's her name again? Oh, yeah, uh, Sadie! Anyways, Sadie is... She... Okay, see, there's this other guy, who's off in England because he owns slaves, and I uh, realize that that makes absolutely no sense, but um, she hates people who own slaves. Well, she doesn't hate them, it, uh, just, um, annoys her! And this British guy, who is, coincidentally, also named James-uh, I mean Jim, uh... Has emotions! Uh, towards her! Which is bad for m-I mean, uh, my friend," I stammered.
We were both laughing this time. Even I knew I sounded pathetic. And, worse yet, I didn't even understand anything I was saying.
I was being as obvious as the nose on my face.
Fortunately for me, Alex didn't know Sarah.
"And, uh, Sar-I mean, uh, um... Hang on a second, I know this one! Uh, Sadie! And she... Uh. Sorry, lost my train of thought there for a moment. And so, uh, Sad- I mean Sar-No, wait I mean Sadie! Anyways, she... I mean, uh... The feelings that that annoying British guy has, uh, for her, um, she... Uh, kind of, um, well... She sort of returns them with the uh, annoying British guy. And so I-I mean, Jim, doesn't really know what to do about this," I faltered.
Alex smirked, amused. I winced.
"Well, why doesn't Jim just tell Sadie about his feelings towards her?" Alex asked, grinning.
I looked down at the ground.
"Well, for one thing, Sadie's been in Boston for a while. And she, uh, like I um, uh, mentioned... She, uh, l-l-l-l-l-loves, uh, this British guy. And I-I mean, Jim, uh, kind of feels, um, guilty because, uh, he sort of uh, found out that, uh, this guy, uh... Y'know, owned the uh, slaves. And she was, uh, crying really bad. Or, I mean, so he tells me," I hesitated.
Alex nodded.
"Ah. That makes sense."
He appeared thoughtful, but then grinned at me.
"Is that friend you, Jim?" Alex joked.
I blushed and shook my head no frantically. He looked me in the eye.
But he saw through my lies.
"Good things come to those who wait. If you wait long enough, I'm sure you'll get what you want," My friend smiled.
I sure hope he was right.

Review and I'll give you the next chapter...Which happens to be REALLY good, and full of the S/J...But that's beyond the point. I've given you like three chapters in two days! You owe me...lol. Anyways, thanks! And we're pretty much through with the suitors, but expect the unexpected. ;)
