Running Into Hamilton

Again - part 26

"Don't listen to them. You are lovely and amazing. I love you." He says, still hugging me. "I know." I say into his chest. I love my family.

I crawl into my bed after changing into an extra large t shirt and a pair of sweatpants. I fall asleep thinking about my life. My family, my friends, my boyfriend, everything I have now. I lay in my bed for a while until I fall asleep.

I wake up at 6 and get ready for school. I throw on a distressed burgundy shirt, black shorts, sneakers and my watch. Groff wanted to pick me up from Anthony's today, so i grab my bag and key and run to meet him outside. I connect my phone to Groff's car with Bluetooth and play Hamilton. We both sing along and we do that would be enough together. Groff has such a fun time. You should have seen him doing Schuyler sisters.

"Hey, do you want to do another ham4ham? That would be cool, but only if you want to. I know you're kinda self-concious." He says to me. "That would actually be cool. I kinda want to do guns and ships. I'm pretty good at it, but none of you have heard me do it." I say and watch Groffs face light up. "Put it on, I want to hear it." He says, pointing at my phone.

I sing and rap the song perfectly, leaving Groff astounded. "Yup, you're doing that for the ham4ham." He says to me as I get out of the car. I run in and find my friends and we hang out. I'm laughing at a joke Riley said until I see someone i thought I wouldn't ever see again. Jake. He comes right up to our group and pushes Julia out of the way, so he's in the middle of us. "You all," he says, pointing around our circle, "got me in trouble. And you," he emphasises, pushing his finger to my chest. I see Riley step out to him, bit i shake my head at him "will be sorry." He says, stares at me for a moment. He grabs me by the waist and I try to push him away but don't succeed. He pulls me toward him, and i stiffen. I look at Riley, pleading him with my eyes to help.

"Get off. Get off! Seriously, we can get you im trouble again if you like, but thats just a suggestion." Riley says, pulling Jake off of me and pulling me behind him. Jake looks over Rileys shoulder. "You'll always need someone to protect you. Your weak." He says and walks off. Riley spins around and wraps me in a hug, then kisses my hairline. "You're alright now, it's ok." We walk to homeroom and I'm surrounded by friends for the rest of the day. I eat lunch, and I've stopped starving myself. Groff picks me up, and the minute i get in the car he begins talking. "Ok first, you're doing Wednesdays ham4ham. Second, you're going to be an understudy, for like, anyone. I mean you do know the show like the back of your hand." He says. "Yay!" I cheer. Groff looks at me questioningly, then speaks up.

"What happened at school? You look down. Remember, I'm the cool one, you can talk to me." He always says this, and it makes me laugh every time. "Nothing, I just have a lot of homework." Now, Groff is one of those people who can pry your deepest, darkest secrets out of you with pure humor. He speaks in his king George voice. "C'mon, tell me child. I want to know!" He says, making me laugh hysterically. "Umm... The kid that beat me up... came back again. But cara and Riley and Julia and sara were there. I'm fine." I say. "Ok, well do you want to go on as Lafayette today? Daveed said he wants you to get on the stage." Groff asks me. "Of course!" I say, then pull out the homework that i didn't do in resource.

I finish all of it my 3:30, and we leave for the theater at 4. I'm so ready, but so not ready. How am i going to do this?
