broadway kid || an original hamilton cast fan fiction

Chapter 11

Gracie's POV

Weeks went by since Lin "kidnapped" me, and finally, it was Christmas Eve. I wonder what today would hold?

I was fast asleep in my bed. I have never experienced a real Christmas since....ever. Who knows what today is going to be?

"Merry Christmas Eve, Gracie"  I slid my glasses on my face. I glanced at the clock and back at them.

"Merry Christmas Eve." You can imagine I was utterly groggy, to the extent that I looked like a 9-year-old woken up in the middle of the night. I was pulled out of bed onto the couch.  Where we watched cheesy Hallmark movies.

We ate lunch inside the apartment. If you are in New York City on Christmas Break, You have to go out. That's exactly what we did, from visiting the Giant Christmas tree to walking in Central Park to Eating dinner at Ellen's Stardust. Again.

As much as Jasmine and Anthony had heard every musical theatre song at the restaurant, They knew that I just adored that place.

When they were getting the check, I sat there sipping on my Sprite. The waiter-singer recognised them.

"You are the couple from Hamilton. Jasmine and Anthony?" A couple of people just started to stare.

It was making me uncomfortable to watch this. I just avoided people staring while Jasmine and Anthony just looked down for a while.

Being noticed is cool sometimes but it was happening more often to where we can't live a normal life.

"Can we get the check, man?" Anthony looked up at the waiter.

"Yeah, man, big fan of you." He shook his hand and handed him the check.

"I'm going to excuse myself to the restroom." I excused myself and washed my hands in the restroom.

I heard some chit-chat from two girls in the stalls.

"Did you hear that Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones are here?" One girl said.

"Bars on bars on bars," The other girl said. I just smiled at the two girls making conversation.

They exited the stalls and saw my  Hamilton backpack.

"You're a Hamilton fan?" She blabbered to me and went on and on about the "famous Hamilton couple," they had taken a picture with earlier.

"I'm not a fan, I'm in Hamilton." I corrected. Not that I wasn't a fan of the show but I was a cast member.

"You are the new prodigy kid, can we take a picture with you" I was hesitant knowing my rules but I technically wasn't at the stagedoor so did it count?

I thought to myself: If Lin or Tommy finds out I'm dead.

"That's a cute picture. I like it, Can you send it to my iPod?" Considering that I never had a phone, it was the closest thing I had.

We exchanged contacts. Then they fangirled over meeting me, then eventually left.  That was kinda cool.

"We should hang out sometime." I said, "I mean I don't have a lot of friends my age because of being in the show."

The two girls were just so excited about being "friends with a Broadway star", and giggled all over the place.

"I forgot I'm Claire and this is Emily. Twins, you obviously know that" I glanced back up at them, They looked exactly alike. Dumb Gracie, you should have known that.

I waved goodbye, "Merry Christmas."

Anthony and Jazzy had waited outside the restaurant. We soon went home and snuggled up in blankets and watched Christmas movies.
