~Alex~
After a few hours of talking and..."good natured humor"...it was around 6:30. And from that all good things must come to an end.
"Do I have to go to the party?" I ask.
"For the last time yes! You need to be more social!" Angelica says.
"But being social is gross" I say while looking away.
"Come on Alex! Even you know you're not an introvert. Just meet some people and have some fun!" Eliza says.
"Fun is overrated. But I'll go." I sigh in defeat. If theres anything ive learned it's to not get in an argument. No matter what, they'll win and they're always right.
I end up changing clothes before we leave. I put on a pair of jeans, a white short sleeve shirt and a button up red, plaid shirt over top. I also put on a tie because, you cant go wrong wearing a tie. Im looking pretty dapper if I do say so myself.
Believe it or not, the party wasnt that far. Only a few rooms down. The host was some friend of Jefferson, I think their name was James Madison.
The room was about the size of the schuylers' dorm.
And it. Was. Crowded.
Well, maybe not conert-typed crowded, but it was still packed. Maybe 15 people there. At most 20. And a good portion of them had red solo cups.
It didnt look like anyone was drunk though so thats good.
I sat down on the couch and tried to make myself comfortable.
I listened in on a few conversations. One guy was talking about something sports related. A group of people were chatting about how rude their teacher was for giving them an F. I looked to the side and it looked like some guy was attempting to flirt with shitty pick up lines. Then there was the group who were having a conversation on their phones.
With all the technology, what has society come to?
I look around to find the schuylers but they're already lost in the crowd. I mentally curse myself for not staying with one of them.
Geez, I've only been here 10 minutes and im already finding a million little details that are wrong with the party.
I dont even realize some girl is snapping their fingers in my face.
"Hey handsome" they say.
Oh god, what the hell are they doing?!
"How are you doing?"
"Uhh d-decent I guess" I stutter. Please just go away. Please just go away. Please just go the heck away.
"I know something that can help"
She pulls my tie and pulls me towards her for a kiss. Dang it! Why won't she go away?!
I swat her hand like its a spider and quickly stand up.
"Uhh hehe sorry miss, not interested" I say. My voice was significantly higher when i said it.
I was a nervous wreck.
I grab a cup of beer from the counter and take a sip. I can already feel my common sense and logical thinking being washed away.
I take another sip and begin wandering around the room. A few people tug at my shirt as I pass them. Geez, didnt they learn about a personal bubble in kindergarten?
Besides, im not really interested in any of them.
I swear I heard john or the other two somewhere in the crowd.
I settle with hiding in the bathroom as my best option until the party is over.
I look around to make sure none of the sisters are watching me. I then book it to the bathroom and quickly lock the door behind me.
I sigh in relief and turn around slowly.
I want to vomit
"What are you doing here Hamilton?!" Jefferson yells.
"What are you doing here?! Isnt this your friend's party?!" I shout.
"Well yeah but why the heck are you in here?!"
"You know what I'll just leave" I say as I turn around. I reach for the knob when I hear shuffling.
"Wait!"
"What do you want-" I start. Jefferson flipped me around so quickly I almost fell. He bent over and kissed me.
Holy crap what is he doing?!
Why am I not moving?!
Why aren't we stoping?!
Why...does this feel good?
Im kissing my enemy...and im not stopping. I melt into the kiss. I can feel my face turning red. Am I enjoying this? I think I am
I feel his arms snake around my waist. Then theres the sudden interruption of someone banging on the door. Crap, I forgot we were at a party.
"Uhh j-just a minute!" I say. Jefferson moves his hands away and I unlock the door.
I let go of the breath I didnt even know I was holding. I look back at Jefferson.
"...see you at the dorm I guess" I say and open the door. I watch as he leaves the bathroom and disappears in the crowd.
I look to my side and see peggy smirking. Then i realize I'm still blushing.
"So what were you two doing in there~" she asks.
I feel like my face is on fire. "Shut up, pegs".
