chapter 5

The next morning I practically fly out of bed.
"Today's the day !! I'm finally going to meet the one the only Alexander Hamilton !!" I stand on my bed and proclaim to Lafayette.
"Mon amie, please, tais-toi"
I roll my eyes and leap off the bed.
"This is going to be the best day of my entire life" I waltz into the bathroom take a quick shower and fix my hair.
"Should I wear my hair up or down today?" I ask Lafayette while furiously drying my hair with a towel.
"Down." He responds then goes back to his computer.
I go back into the bathroom and brush my teeth and change into my favorite skinny jeans and a sweater. Gotta impress Alexander, even though there's a low low chance Alexander will even remember my name. He's so famous and I'm just John.
I grab my bag and rush out the door. I have about 20 minutes to get to Washington's classroom and it's only a ten minute walk so I decide to go get some coffee.

I walk to the nearest Starbucks, order the usual s'mores frappuccino. I just like the whipped cream. I sit there for a few minutes, checking tumblr then I finally decided to make my way to class. I get to Washington's room a little bit early and he's sitting at his desk grading some papers. I remember I have to tell him about Peggy.
"Yo Mr. Washington."
"Hello Mr. Laurens"
"Peggy isn't gonna be able to make it to class today, she um in the hospital."
"What happened is she alright?"
"Yea it's just her girlfriend um what was her name um Naomi Rodriguez  I believe is her name anyways, Peggy came late a few nights ago and she was all beaten up and bloody and she tried to say it was nothing but then she passed out and Angelica and Eliza both took her to the hospital and they said she had a broken leg and they had to keep her so Angie and Eliza we both at her side all night. Yea we thought it was best to tell you because Naomi is in your class."
"Oh my god that's terrible I am going to have a serious discussion with miss Naomi."
"Thank you so much"
"Well I hope she's alright."
"yea me too"
I turn around and find my seat. I could barely keep still during that class. I have less then two hours until I get to meet my idol. When class end I bolt out of my seat and out of the class room. I got on the next bus closest to Flourish books. When I arrived it was already getting close to three and there already was a line forming. I instantly get in the line and check my bag to make sure I have mine and Peggy's books. I take out my phone and listen to some music while I wait. As soon as it hits three o'clock the line starts to move. I can't believe it. Alexander Hamilton. I'm going to meet Alexander Hamilton, my idol, all my dreams, all his stories, all of him is just sitting in a chair inside of this very building, I am about to meet the man who wrote his way to fame. I cannot believe this is actually happening. Before I can even tell what's going on I realize I am four people away from him so I get out the books and prepare what I'm going to say to him. The next people go by so fast and finally it's my turn. I walk around the curtain and there he is, oh my god he's even more beautiful in person. His long hair, his skin, his scruff. I didn't notice how long I was taking and I was just standing there in awe until he says something.
"Hello?" oh my god even his voice is gorgeous. I'm so scared I can't even look him in the eye.
"H-i"
"You seem scared? It's okay I'm not that scary." and at that I look up, straight into his eyes and he looks into mine and suddenly, what, what is this, what is happening, suddenly it's just bright, suddenly just everything is colorful oh my god. I can see his tan skin, I can see his dark brown eyes, his sweater is a light blue, I see everything more beautiful about him. I'm at a loss for words. I look at him and his eyes grow in size. We both stop in our track. I can tell we both just had the experience. I don't even know what to do now. Is this true. This has to be a mistake. Alexander Hamilton? My soul mate? Is this real?
"Um boys" the security guard finally snapped us both out of our trance.
"Oh I'm sorry." I start fiddling with the books and lying them down in front of alex.
"No no it's perfectly okay."
He starts to sign my book he's writing so fast yet so elegantly.
"Uh what's your name?" I wasn't paying attention I was getting lost in his every movement. Until the guard cleared his throat. Alex laughed.
"John! John my name is John Laurens."
"Well John Laurens it has been my deepest pleasure to meet you." We meet eyes once again and he hands me back my book and winks at me.
"It's been a pleasure" he says as I am pushed away by the guard still in awe of what happened.
I look down at my book a number? There's a number and a note

Dearest, Laurens
with a coma after dearest oh my gosh.
If you just had the same experience that I just had then that means something, you are my soul mate John Laurens and I demand to know more about my soul mate. This is a sad song, as I do not know  when I will see you again, but please for both of our sakes call that number at exactly 12:00am tonight and I swear on my life I will answer that call.
with so much love
Alexander Hamilton.

Oh my god. Alexander Hamilton. Me. Because of his book my dull world lighted up and now because of him my world is the brightest place you could ever imagine. I walk out of the book shop passing books of every color. This is amazing. I cannot believe what had just happened.
Oh shit. Peggy.
I forgot to get her book signed. I hope they let me back in. I hop in the back of the line again and wait and finally it's my turn to cross behind that now green curtain again. I see alex and his face lights up.
"Oh it's you again" a huge smile creeps across his face.
"Yes I'm so sorry but my friend she really loves your work and she's in the hospital right now and she really wanted to come and see was the one who told me about this an-" Alex stops me and laughs
"It's okay, anything to see you again." I feel my face start to heat up.
"You're so cute." slips out of my mouth. "Oh shit I didn't mean to say that out loud im sorry."
The guard let us take as long as we wanted because I was the last person.
"Oh no it's perfectly fine, and you my Laurens are a mighty fine man yourself."
Did he just call me his Laurens
I suddenly feel my face start to heat up even more
"Your blush is so cute, what is your friends name."
"Oh um Peggy. Her name is Peggy"
"That's such a lovely name."
I giggle a little bit "yea it is"
"Well it was so nice to see you again."
"Yea and the same to you"
At that I walk around that green curtain for the last time, trying to process everything that had just happened.

-an
i know I'm terrible I'm sorry i just like to write like I seriously love to write.
1.) my teacher pulled me aside today and told me she was thinking about giving me the writers award and I almost started crying because I've never told anyone how much I love to write and I just I've never got any acknowledgement but I was fine with that but this just felt amazing to have people actually like the shit I write. sorry I like writing sorry I ranted sorry sorry sorry
b) most of this chapter was based on my experience meeting Dan and Phil (which they are amazing btw)
anyways thanks for reading
