Capter 4: A Business Meeting

Y/N's POV

   Knock knock.

   I rolled my sad self out of my comfortable bed to see who the hell was knocking on my door at 7:30. Whoever that was needed to sleep.

   I dragged my body to the front door, tiredness sitting on my shoulders. A sigh escaped my lips as I creaked open the door to reveal a very giddy Hamilton.

   "Alex?" I asked, blinking a few times. "What are you doing here at this ungodly hour?"

   Alexander's excited expression melted into an annoyed one. "Y/N, it's 11:30."

   Whoops. Guess I was too tired to read my grandfather clock properly.

   "Sorry," I said.

Alex rolled his eyes. "Anyways," he continued, the giddiness coming back, "I'm having a business meeting with someone at 1:00. I was wondering if you would like to side my case to them."

I smiled. "I would love to!"

Hamilton smiled again. "Great! Be at my house at 12:30." (We exchanged addresses at the coffee shop; we didn't live far away from each other at all.)

I gave him a thumbs-up. "Got it."

He left and I closed the door. 'Time to get ready,' I thought to myself.

I wanted to look at least semi-presentable, so I threw on a f/c dress that went down to my shins and put my hair up in a ponytail, slipping into f/c flats. I also brushed my teeth.

When I was done brushing my teeth, I went to the mirror in my room to see how I looked.

Not bad.

I smoothed out the wrinkles in my dress as I continued to stare at myself.

I stole a glance at my grandfather clock.

12:15.

"Jesus, how long does it take me to get ready?" I said to myself. That's when I began to walk to Alex's humble abode.

***

I knocked on Alexander's door, wondering who he and I were going against.

The one and only opened the door, a big grin on his face. "Hey, Y/N! Come in, come in! Our opponent is already here!"

Curiosity biting at my flesh, I stepped inside.

To be honest, I was horrified at who I would be going against:

Thomas.

He was sitting on Hamilton's couch, staring at me. His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly open.

After about fifteen seconds of Thomas silently staring at me, I put my hands up. "I swear, I did not know you were the one I was going against," I told Thomas.

He nodded slowly.

My head whipped around to Alex. "Alexander Hamilton, can I talk to you for a moment? In private?" I said through gritted teeth.

Alexander gulped, but nodded nevertheless.

I grabbed that boy by his coat and dragged him into the hallway where Thomas wouldn't here us.

"Why didn't you tell me I was going against Thomas?" I hissed at Hamilton.

"I didn't think that you would care!"

"Of course I would care! I don't want Thomas to see me siding with you instead of him! I want to impress this guy, not make him hate me!"

  Alex sighed. "Fine. You can side with whoever you want. Just promise me that you will inwardly agree with me."
