Hamilton One Shots (Mostly MarLiza)

Chapter 5

Prompt: Maria is a kindergarten teacher and has a crush on Eliza who brings her child Marie everyday. When Maria's daughter Susan has a play date with Marie things get heated.

*Eliza's POV*

I woke up at 6:00 and rolled out of bed. I groaned and trudged to my closet. I picked out white jeans, a blue shirt, and a grey cardigan. I put on grey flats and brushed out my hair and put it into a bun. I did light make up and brushed my teeth. It was 6:15 which means Marie still had 10 minutes of sleep left. I walked quietly down the stairs and went to the kitchen.

I grabbed Marie's Power Puff Girls backpack and checked her conduct sheet. I quickly signed it and checked her homework. I organized her folders and closed her backpack. I checked the time. Marie has 7 minutes. I grabbed her Power Puff Girls lunch kit, and packed her lunch. A PB&J sandwich, a Capri Sun, baby carrots, a Cutie, and a bag of Lays.

I put her lunch kit next to her backpack and walked up the stairs. I opened Marie's door and woke her up.

"Good morning, sweetie. Time for school." I say. She nods and trudges to her closet. She picks out a white shirt, a blue skirt, and grey leggings. She puts on her white and blue sneakers and grabs her hair brush. I brush out her hair and she skips down the stairs.

She grabs her backpack and lunch kit. I open the door and she skips to the car. She opens the door, climbs in, and gets into her booster seat. I buckle her in and we drive to school.

"Can I talk to Auntie Angie?" She asked. I nod and dial Angelica's phone number.

"Yeah, hey Angelica. Yeah, Marie wants to talk to you. Yeah, here she is." I say. I pass the phone back and Marie takes it. She has a conversation with Angelica and passes the phone back up. I grab the phone and put it back in my purse.

"Mommy, I have a crush." Marie said. I clutched the wheel tight.

"Who might it be?" I said.

"Uh, Susan Reynolds. Ms. Reynolds' daughter." She mumbled.

"Well, that's just fine." I respond. We get to school and she crawls out of the back.

"Bye! See you later!" I yell. She waves and skips into the school.

*Maria's POV*

I was grading papers while Susan was playing with Barbie dolls. I tried to put on something that would catch Ms. Schuyler's eye. I have a crush on her. I have on a black skirt, a white shirt, and a red cardigan. Marie skipped in and set her backpack and lunch kit down.

"Here's my homework Ms. Reynolds!" She chirps. She hands me her homework and she immediately sits down next to Susan.

"Hey Marie! Wanna play Barbie?" 

"Sure!"

"Marie is your mommy here?" I asked.

"She's signing me in at the front." She answered.

"I'll be right back." I said. I got up and walked to the main office where I saw her. 

"Good morning Ms. Reynolds." She says noticing me.

"Good morning. Uh, can I tell you something?" I asked.

"Sure!" She says.

"Funny thing, Susan has a crush on Marie." I say rubbing my skirt anxiously.

"What a coincidence! Marie has a crush on Susan." She says.

"Well, how about a play date between the two on the weekend?" I ask.
