(POV) Eliza:
As me and my sisters rock the hallways, everyone's head turns in our direction. I smile my School-famous smile and they all smile. My name is Eliza and I am a considered 'popular' girl. Me and my sisters are the head turners, the ones with hair on point wearing a new outfit, always something new and edgy. Angelica brought thigh-high socks into the school and I rock the knee-highs. I wear blue; which is my favourite colour! My sister rocks shades of pink and Peggy - our younger sister - wears quirky yellow! I'm the 'nice' one. The one who smiles at people, who tries to include everyone; or that's what I'm known for! Angelica is the 'sassy, I'm about to bitch-slap you' one and Peggy is the 'sweet lil' one. That's us - The Schuyler Sisters.
It was this morning, while hanging out with Madison over a spice latte that I found out. We had found ourselves in Starbucks again, ordering our usual: Two spice lattes and however many cookies we can afford with the change.
Me and Madison are good friends. It's a friendship no one would expect - but it's there.
As we sit down I note he compliments my new shoes which makes me smile. I like Madison. He's quirky, and funny and he doesn't attract too much attention to us. 'Just two college kids sitting in the corner'. I like it.
"Did you hear?" He suddenly asks, looking at me curiously.
"Hear what?" I reply.
"Umm, well... did you know Hamilton?"
"Alexander?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah, why...?" I ask, my curiosity getting the better of me.
"I figured you hadn't found out, considering how bubbly you're being right now."
That's another thing about Madison - he compliments me a lot but it's so sincere and nice that it isn't at all weird.
"Madison." I take a breath. "Just tell me."
He takes a deep breath.
"Four days ago, Hamilton was shot to death in an alleyway beside where he lived. They don't know who did it yet."
I stare at him.
It can't be. I thought he was ill. Not Alex. Not my first ever crush. I do the only thing I can think to do; I run away.
I left poor Madison too pay for our food and drinks and I dashed before throwing up in a public toilet a couple of blocks away before staggering home and going straight to bed - too cry.
