Running Into Hamilton

Surprise!- part 16

We were watching the little mermaid when she fell asleep on my shoulder. Anthony came out and I lightly gestured to Maddie, sure not to wake her up. He just whispered "stay. Its ok, I trust you." And walked to his bedroom. With that I turned the tv off and read until i fell asleep.

I wake up at about 3 am in the living room, laying on Rileys shoulder. I shed my blankets, revealing me in soft shorts and a baggy sweatshirt. I walk to the kitchen, my fuzzy socks muffling my footsteps. I grab a cup and drink some water and make my way back to the couch. Riley is slightly awake, groggy and stretching. He looks at me and pats the seat next to him.

I sit and cuddle back into the blankets. I turn on the little lamp and reach for a book. I open it and start reading, knowing that neither of us will be capable of going back to sleep. He leans over and kisses my forehead, then whispers to me. "You can read minds, can't you?" He jokes, and we read for a while. "Wait, I didn't finish my French homework. Do you wanna do it with me?" I ask, pulling both of us out of our books. "Oh, yeah. I actually brought mine, too." He says, pulling it out of his bag.

I go to my room and pull it off my bed. It's really easy, since it's only français 1. We just have to write the English translation of 15 sentences. I breeze through the first page and look at Riley. He's only on number 4. I say the sentences out loud to him, and that helps him get about half. For the rest, I help him break it up into separate words. We both finish and it's 4:30. We both pull our books back out and read, but eventually fall back asleep by 5.

When i wake up again, it's 9 am and Jazz and Anthony are sitting together on the loveseat next to the couch. I yawn and stretch, then look at Riley. He gives me a tired smile and offers me a cup of orange juice. I nod in thanks and drink a bit. The four of us hang out for a while and watch cartoons, and Riley leaves a while later.

Still in my shorts and such, I go to the theater with Anthony and Jazzy. I go to my room and practice French. I write out a sentence, then read it. Then read from the French book. I have to whisper, which is annoying, but there's a give and take to living in a theater. You have an entire theater at your disposal, but you have to whisper during shows.

I listen to the music and sing along, spread out on my giant, 6.5 foot bean bag. I hang with the cast, hair big and untamed (comparable to Anthony and Daveed) and my comfy clothes on. I go back to my room when what i assume is their second call comes. Everyone kinda just left around the same time. I get a text from Daveed.

Big bro dAveed: where'd ya go
Me: to my room... All of you went to call i thought
Big bro dAveed: nah, come to the kitchen.
Me: alrighty

I go down the stairs and swing into the kitchen. I smell something baking, as well as some real food. Considering its 1:30 and i haven't eaten yet, my mouth waters. The whole cast is standing in a group, aside from Javier, he's pulling food off the stove and with the growing plates of ready food. He then pulls 3 trays of. Cookies out of the oven, and Thayne and i both dart our eyes to them.

"Suprise!" They all shout. Why are they doing this? "What's all this? Or in daveeds words, whaaaaa?" I say, laughing and getting a crack out of the cast. "It's a surprise party! We were going to do it when we were going to tell you we adopted you, but since we told you at the restaurant a few months ago, here is a random sunrise party for no reason!" I laugh harder than before, doubling over and running out of air.

Javier opens the counter full of delicious food, the entire cast, including me, ravenous. We take nearly all the food immediately and thayne and I take a handful of fresh cookies each. We all talk and eat ans have fun for a few hours. After that me and the girls go to my room. More like they followed me to my room, but, we were all up there.

"Spill, ant sent us a picture of you and Riley. What happened?" Pip says, the girls excited, sitting on my bed. "Well, wait Jazz, you were there." I say, confused why she doesn't know what happened. "I just knew he came and why, and heard the movie. Other than that, I'm as uninformed as them." She explains. I tell them about the ninth grader that hit me, then the entire night story. They "aww"ed and such, and when I was done there was a fast jumble of "oh i like him" he must love you" "that's adorable" from all three of them.

They leave me at about 9, so i hang out for a while, then fall asleep on my bean bag, Broadway playlist belting through my room.
