"Are these songs just telling plain old lies?? Cause that's everything I know about love!"

Peggy Schuyler, a Kings college student. John Laurens, He's also a Kings college student.

They've been good friends for a while, being introduced to each other through Eliza Schuyler, and Alexander Hamilton. And they instantly clicked.

Over their friendship, Peggy had caught feelings for John, and John had eventually caught feelings for the girl who he had been friends with for the past 2 years. He thought that she was amazing, her smile, her little collections, all of the things she shows him. everything about her was amazing. He loved it all, and he couldn't get enough of it. But.. He just didn't know how to tell her. He had asked for advice from his best friend Alexander. He had thought it helped, but he didn't really know. What if Peggy didn't like him back? No.. This can't be. She has to like him back. Seriously, but. What if people got in the way of this? Like Angelica, Peggy's older sister. No, she couldn't but, she was overprotective.. So maybe that could happen too. Who knows, maybe things could go well.

Currently, the freckled-face boy were on his bed in his shared dorm room. Listening to some music Peggy had recommended him. "What Love Will Do to You" By this artist named Laufey, Peggy had been obsessed with her music lately. It made her feel calm and cozy.

He loved all of the music his crush recommended to him. He loved it so much, honestly.. It also made him feel calm and cozy. He even made a whole playlist called, "Music Peggy recommends to me" With 2 yellow hearts. One on the front and another on the end. The playlist cover being a photo of him and Peggy. He listened to that playlist on a daily. Just thinking about the girl he had a crush on. Holy shit, his heart skipped a beat every time they would chat. The ways she used little emoji's, her excitement showing through text messages. Even through calls, she sounded happy to talk to him.

But, John didn't know so much about love. He hadn't been in any relationships. He wanted to give stuff time. And when he met Peggy, he had loved her in a friend way, but.. Over 2 years, that's slowly changed to romantically. He didn't wanna let her go, he can't. He thought she were so enchanting, in every way.

John had listened to so many love songs, he had always thought they were lying, but the more and more he had gotten close to Peggy, and the more he would listen to these love songs.. Maybe they aren't? Maybe Peggy IS his soulmate.

Peggy Schuyler, the bubbly, happy, beautiful, girl John had a crush on.

Peggy couldn't get enough of John, his smile, freckles. Everything, she loved about him. She were just cautious. What if Angelica didn't approve of this? She hoped she would. The only people who knew about this crush, were Eliza, Lafayette, Alexander, and Hercules. She were so scared to tell John, though her sister said..

"Peggy, I think it's pretty obvious to John.. I think you should just tell him."

She knew she had to tell him, one day or another. She just didn't know how, through a date? At the café? She didn't know. Every time she would think of John, her stomach would fill with butterflies, she would start blushing, and her face would feel all warm, and she would read over their text messages. She loved him, for sure. She would have dreams of them together, everything. But.. There was one problem.

She didn't know much about love, either.

Oh dear, she had been in love with many other guys before she had met John, never asked them out, and lost feelings for them afterwards. She was too scared to. She didn't know how to ask out a guy, could she just say, "I like you." In an instant? Or did she have to write out a whole paragraph like she had seen plenty of times before. Did she have to ask him out on a date? She didn't know what she had to do. She was ready.. Yeah! She just didn't know what to do. She needed help, badly.

What could go wrong if she asked for help from Eliza and Angelica?

What could go wrong if John asked for help from his friends, Burr, Hamilton, Mulligan, and Lafayette? Nothing, Right?
