I can't stop wondering what's in that box. I roll over in bed and look at Alexander. He has fallen asleep sitting up. He snores softly, the computer light lighting up his face. He's so adorable. I looked up at the ceiling. It would be wrong to go into his box but...his key is right there! I decided to get up and turn off his computer. I took a few steps quietly and came to stand over him. I began to close his laptop when he jumped up and grabbed my wrist. "AH" I stumbled back, the only thing keeping me up was Alex's grip. We looked at each other with surprise. "U-uh, sorry..." He let go of my arm and looked down. I shrugged. "It's fine, I was just trying to close your computer so that you could sleep better" I nervously rubbed the back of my neck and looked back to Alex. He was getting up and stretching. I tilted my head in confusion and checked my phone. "It's 4:00, what are you doing?" He looked at me in surprise. "I have to continue" He walked and turned the light on. "I hope you don't mind if I'm getting up now, I'm gonna go get coffee." I sighed. I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep anyway. "Hey Alex, you wouldn't mind if I-" I looked up at Alexander, who had circles under his eyes that were almost black. "Oh my god..." He looked at me and then changed his expression. "That's everyone's reaction when they see my eyes. I mean, a little bit of extra awake time won't hurt anyone." He pulled out a tube that looked like some type of concealer, and began applying it underneath his eyes. I gulped. "W-when was the last time you slept?" He turned around. "Unimportant, get some clothes on." I didn't risk pushing him on whatever sleep deprivation was happening to him. I grabbed myself a tank top and thin jacket. "Aren't you gonna burn up in that thing?" I pointed at Alexander's hoodie. He became pale and looked away. "I-I'm just a cold person..." I shrugged it off and opened the door. It was still pitch dark outside when we exited the house. I breathed in the surprisingly warm air. It was very humid outside, it was probably going to rain later. I looked up at the sky, the stars were slowly fading. I caught up to Alex and fell into step with him. He gave me a small smile before watching the ground in front of himself. "Do you like stars?" I asked him. He looked over to me. "Yeah, they're pretty cool" He smiled at me again. I felt my face grow red. "It's crazy to think that there are so many, it's beautiful" That word caught his attention a bit. "I remember when I first found out that they are all dead" He fixed his posture. "I know, I never even thought about how long that it would take for light to travel to Earth!" I was way to happy about the fact that I had started a conversation with the one and only Alexander Hamilton.

"I am going to the art gallery, would you like to tag along?" Alex and I had spent hours talking and walking around town. Alexander smiled sweetly but shook his head. "I think that I'm going to head home, I need to finish a few things" He looked up and studied the sky. I grinned at him. "Well I'll see you later then" I sighed before making myself turn around. I looked at the cloudy sky. It was supposed to rain later, hopefully Alexander made it home safely. I walked into the art gallery and began looking around.

(Yoyoyo. So I know this one isn't as long as the last one, but I am so exited for the next part! Hamilham is about to get spooked. Anyway, love you all!)
