The Hamilteam Short Stories

Oreos

All groups of people need a cause to bond over. A thing to bring them all together. A rope to tie them together. Something to believe in. You get the idea. The Hamilteam believed in a lot of things, doing good, rapping Hamilton, protecting one another. But if there was one thing we all loved to enjoy together, it was Oreos.

Today, the Hamilteam was meeting at Noodles and Company for lunch, but Anjali was making a quick run before she joined her friends. Buying the surprise she needed, she then shoved it into her hoodie, hiding it from view. This, of course, seemed like a very suspicious action. She hunched over the rectangular shaped lump in her jacket, making it hard to be seen.

When she arrived at the restaurant, her friends were already seated.

"There she is!" Sophia yelled at pointed.

Anji smiled and took her seat, on the edge of the booth next to Elijah. "Hey guys."

"What are you hiding?" Elijah narrowed his eyes.

"Oh... well... I brought the stuff." She smirked.

Chloe's sly smile made an appearance on her face. "How much?"

"A whole pack full." Anjali chuckled and placed the box in the middle of the table.

All together they yelled; "OREOS!"

"Hell yeah! We haven't done this in ages. Thanks, Anji!" Harry beamed and opened the pack.

"No problem! Remember, we have that system so we all get an even amount of cookies." Anjali smiled.

Between Lucas, Mackenzie, Harry, Chloe, Mary, Sophia, Elijah and Anjali, they each split up the Oreos.

"There's one left over." Mary pointed out.

"My abs would like it." Kenzie giggled.

"Yes, but I would like your abs." I smirked.

"MOVING ON." Elijah yelled. "Anji brought the Oreos, she should get it."

"Aw, thanks sweetie!" I reached over for the bag.

"Not so fast! Lydia hasn't slept properly in days, I need a pick me up, hand me the Oreo." Mary ordered.

"Hey man, I'm not the one who told you to have kids." I picked up the cookie.

Sophia swiped it from my hands. "My nickname is Sugar. I should eat more sugar!"

Harry took it from her. "Now that's just a lame excuse."

"Hey! Like you have anything better."

"I've been possessed by an evil monster. I should get the cookie."

"Oh come on Harry, that's happened to pretty much all of us!" Anjali argued.

Harry shrugged.

"Guys, look at us. Turning into animals over one small cookie!" Chloe took it. "I say we settle this problem like adults. After all, we're all fifteen. It's time we act mature."

The gang nodded. "What do you think we should do, Chloe?" Kenzie asked.

Chloe stood up and showed them all the cookie. "I think we should..." then she ran out of the restaurant!

"NOT SO FAST!" Anjali yelled and followed suit. Everyone else followed her.

"NO MAGIC ALLOWED! FIRST ONE TO EAT THE COOKIE WINS!" Sophia yelled as they split ways.

Anji and Elijah ran around the outdoor mall, passing Starbucks, passing the gazebo, arriving at the bear statues that little kids often climbed on. Right now, a little boy was sitting on top of the tallest bear, sucking his thumb. Behind him, Chloe smirked, waving the Oreo back and forth.
