Hello and welcome to chapter 2 of Mistakes Made. Please excuse grammatical errors, proofreading is not my forte. Read till the end for more authors' notes.

Angelica sighed before putting her head in her hands. She really messed up. Not for one but for three reasons. One she was late to arguably one of the biggest events in New York City. Two she had ruined her thousand-dollar dress that was bought for this specific event. And three the last but worst mistake was giving the city of New York another reason to criticize she and her family. Angelica screamed into her hands forgetting she was in a taxi with an odd smelling driver and a very good looking stranger.

"I don't think I've run that fast since high school."

Angelica looked up from her hands to see the reporter sporting the same smile he had just a couple of moments ago when saving her from being trampled by the reporters of New York. Angelica laughed at the stupid but helpful remark.

"Thanks for that by the way."

"No problem. Consider it my thank you for accepting my apology."

Angelica nodded.

"I'm Angelica."

The man next to her raised an amused eyebrow.

"I know who you are, god I think everyone in this city knows who you are. If that crowd didn't prove it I don't know what the hell will."

Angelica blushed at her own stupidity. Of course, everyone knew who she was. This stranger knew who she was. The whole damn city Knew who she was. The guy must've noticed her embarrassment because he took out his hand for her to shake.

"I'm Alexander."

Angelica smiled before returning the gesture.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Alexander."

"The pleasure is all mine."

Angelica turned to rest her head on the cab window before she felt her new friend Alexander tap her on the shoulder.

"From many years of sleeping on school bus windows, I know it's uncomfortable."

He looked down at his shoulder signaling that she was welcome to lay her head down. Angelica smiled before accepting the invitation.

"Thanks."

Alexander smiled before resting his head on his free arm making sure Angelica was in the most comfort you could be in the back of a New York City cab and Angelica just enjoyed the 30 minute drive before feeling the wrath of her mother and the guests at the party.

What was the best way to describe Margarita Schuyler? Attractive, self centered, rich, spoiled, amongst many other similar traits but one of her most underappreciated talents would have to be how observant she was. Many people including her family thought that she was so focused on herself that she never payed attention to anyone else or their problems but that's where they were wrong. And unsurprisingly Margarita used that to her advantage and the annual senate dinner was no different. She noticed how Abigale Adams looked disgusted with her husband John and his horrible manners. It was true the man looked like an animal when he was eating. The youngest Schuyler sister also caught sight of her Father conversing with President Washington and her mother checking her watch to see what time her oldest and unfashionably late daughter would arrive but when Angelica did finally show up Margarita saw the longing feeling of love in her oldest sisters eyes.
