I'm Supposed To Hate You (Philip Hamilton x OC, Modern au)

Operation

Third person POV

Ella woke up the next day more confused on her feelings than ever. She WILLINGLY kissed Philip Hamilton's cheek. And his confession was shockingly sweet to her. Hell, he climbed up her wall just to see her. Yet, Ella still had no idea what she was feeling.

Meanwhile a certain 17 year old boy was going through a similar, yet different dilemma. Philip couldn't believe he had confessed to Ella and she didn't kill him for it. And he sucked up the courage to kiss her cheek, then SHE did it. The entire time was like a dream to him and he never wanted to wake up. That was until his sister burst into his room.

"Pip, mom sent me to make sure you were up," Angelica said, coming into his room, hair still a mess and in pjs. She saw he was up but he didn't seem to have heard her. She snapped her fingers in his face to see if it would get him to look at her. Philip continued to think about the night before instead of acknowledging his sister. Angie noticed a slight blush on her brother's face while he was thinking about whatever-it-was-he-was-thinking-about. "What, are you in Ella land?" She smirked.

The only word Philip heard was 'Ella' and he immediately snapped out of it. "Ella?"

"So you were thinking about Ella?" Angie smugly asked.

"No." Philip threw a pillow at his sister. "Now get out of my room"

Angelica started to walk back to her room. "Alright but be out in like 5 minutes or else mom's gonna be mad."

Philip threw on a white hoodie with black print that looked like a t shirt on it and a pair of jeans. He didn't bother to brush through his hair and just walked out of his room. "Hey Ma" he said as he got downstairs.

"Welcome to the real world sleeping beauty" Eliza joked to her son. Angie couldn't help but laugh.

"Gee Thanks," Philip muttered. He grabbed a protein bar and walked to the front door where he put his converse on and grabbed his backpack. "Bye Ma, bye Angie"

Ella finished at her locker and saw Philip standing at his. She walked over and stood behind the door to his locker, leaning on the one next to his. Philip closed his locker and smiled at the sight of Ella. "Hey," Ella said softly.

Philip's heart bounced at the sound of her soft voice. "Hi," he replied quietly.

Ella's dark eyes flickered up and down Philip's body, although completely unnoticed by him. "Your hairs a mess," she told him, going up on her toes to ruffle it.

Philip laughed lowly as Ella's hand left his hair, him missing the feeling immediately. "I didn't have time to brush it"

"Are you just constantly running late?" A teasing smirk came onto her face with a playful glint to her eyes.

Philip couldn't help but smirk back. "Not always, but I gotta let the short kids think they can be fast sometimes"

The smirk and glint never left Ella's face, they may have even gotten stronger. Philip hadn't noticed that she had subtlety been walking backwards the whole time. "Eat my dust Hamilton." She said in a low voice before turning around and running. Philip stood there shocked and right as she start running the bell rang, signaling the start of first block.

"Wha- Hey! Wait! ELLA!!"

"There's definitely something between them," John told Theodosia.

"Oh definitely. Like more than before," Theo agreed. John nodded.

"Don't interfere," Marie commented. "They'll come to it on their own and it'll be better for them"

Theo looked at her and pouted. "But I'm her best friendddd," She complained. "Interfering is literally my job!"

Marie just pat the top of her head. "I know"

"Well I walked past them on my way to class and it just seemed like they were talking," Georges told them. "That was until Ella started running and Philip started yelling and chasing after her."

"Were they like smirking at each other?" A new voice asked. The group turned their heads to see William Mulligan standing behind them.

"Yeah"

Will bit the inside of his lip and smiled slightly. "They were probably flirting without either of them realizing it"

"When did you even get here?" Theo asked.

"I heard you guys talking about Philip and Ella and I had come join. The two of them are adorable and Philip is absolutely smitten with her." He told them.

"Aw poor Philip," Theo muttered. "Ella doesn't know what she's doing or feeling."

"She totally likes him she just won't admit it for a while," Georges said. "I've known Ele since she was born and if she's ignoring her feelings like than it means she has feelings she doesn't want to experience, aka love."

"Georges is right. And if anyone would know it would be him. Georges and Ele were closer than peanut butter and jelly when we were kids. You would've thought THEY were the twins." Marie told them.

"And what Marie said was right. We need to not interfere. Ella needs to come to this on her own."

The kids all looked at each other and simultaneously nodded. Operation get Ella and Philip together without interfering was a go.
