James Pov
Should I call him? I dunno. Maybe he doesn't actually like me. Maybe it was just to work on our debate thing.  
         In the past week Alexander has stopped smoking completely. I didn't ask him about it....until I saw him hanging out with girls, and John Laurens and his crew. I didn't have to ask. Doesn't John Laurens' group go drinking every night? Jeez I don't want to deal with a drunk Alexander. He's bad enough as it is. Well it's better that then having an asthma attack.
         I picked up my phone and called Thomas. I've never heard myself talk to fast but I said "Thomas I was wondering if maybe you want to go out sometime."
He seemed to understand and said "Yea, Of course. Can I come to your dorm after classes tomorrow?"
"Yup. Yes. Totally." I said. I heard him chuckle and say "See ya then."
         WOOP! WOOOP! I walked into the living room screaming "WOOOOOOPPP. WOOP." On repeat. Then I heard Alexander hiss
"SHUT UP." 
That's when I realized Elizabeth Schuyler was here. "Oop. Erm...sorry." I muttered. "You're fine." She said. 
       Then she continued talking to Alexander while he wrote something down. I went to the kitchen and started making nachos. Why? Because I can, that's why. I went back into the living room and heard Eliza say
"Lexi? Are you listening?" "Mhm...yup." He muttered, not looking up from his work. I burst out laughing. "Lexi?! She calls you Lexi?! And you actually RESPOND TO IT?!"
      Normally I wouldn't do this, but I'm in a good mood. Alexander was blushing like mad and so was Eliza. My laughter died down.
"Lexi..I gotta use that." I muttered. Alexander sighed and turned to Eliza "Continue." He said, looking back at his work. I walked to the kitchen. Picked up my nachos and a soda and started back to my room. I heard Eliza say "Will you go out with me?" And Alexander said "Absol-" But was cut off be me yelling "CONGRATS!" He looked at me with fire in his eyes and said through gritted teeth
"Will. You. Please. Stop." I simply nodded and went into my room. Again, not usually like this, just happy. I have a date with Thomas Jefferson.
