Gotta love long car rides. The best time to write. Blasting musicals and typing.
Angelica paced the outside of Eliza's dressing room door. They were getting new dresses for the Winter's Ball, Angelica going with Aaron Burr, Peggy thinking about two guys, one being Laurens, and Eliza. Going on a blind date.
"Hurry up slowpoke!" Peggy shouted to Eliza who was still finding the right dress. She couldn't decide on a mermaid tail lavender one or a slim blue one. "Blue is so your color!"
Eliza stepped out, wearing the blue gown. "Happy?"
"Yes Eliza!" Angelica sighed, relieved that they could finally go home.
When the Schuyler sisters finally got home, it was almost exactly 24 hours until the Winter's Ball. Angelica texted Aaron, asking him:
Angel_In_Disguise: Where r u m meting me tmrrw?
SMFDemoRepub: I can pick u up. I'm taking John Eliza's mystery date. ;)
Angel_In_Disguise: You know who it is?! O-O Do tell!
SMFDemoRepub: Not a chance sweety!
Angel_In_Disguise: A. Don't call me that. B. why not?!
SMFDemoRepub: John's rules.
Angelica sighed and took the stairs up to her apartment two at a time. The small group of friends were seniors in College, the Winter's Ball was the party thrown by the Washington's. George was a year older than the group but knew Lafayette and Thomas from high school, they were in SGA together.
Nonetheless, Angelica couldn't help but feel nervous about the party. A new kid would be there, and she had to make a good impression.
(The Next Day)
Eliza walked back from her classes. She was just in the theater, meaning she had to walk three blocks home.
When she was home, Eliza slid into her dress and applied a little bit of sparkly grey eyeshadow, and a little pink lipgloss. She only was taken out of her trance of musicals when Aaron's car honked. His mini van wasn't the most elegant ride but it was like an immigrant, it gets the job done.
"Eliza, hey! This is Alexander, he's a new student to Columbia University. He's your blind date!" John took a moment to stop talking to his new friend to speak to Eliza.
The girl took a seat next to her date and examined him. He was a light skinned Puerto Rican Dominican long hair mature and a body like woah... That's not the only reason he was attractive though! "Elizabeth Schuyler, it's a pleasure to meet you." she smiled.
"Alexander Hamilton, and there's a million things I haven't done but just you wait." he winked. He and Eliza seemed out of place in the car filled with sparkling dresses and pressed suits and ties.
Alexander had on a suit sure, but it was slightly wrinkled and had coffee stains splashed on the collar. At least there's no lipstick! she thought gratefully.
When they pulled up to the Washington Manor, Burr asked Eliza to park his car. Without thinking about it, Eliza asked Alexander to stay. And to her surprise, he said yes.
