The next few days passed pretty quickly nothing really interesting happening between me and Jefferson and now here we are I'm waiting at the park with Thomas for everyone else to arrive, I haven't seen Herc in forever and to see them all together, it's going to be amazing, me and Thomas sit down on the bench my head resting on his shoulder, something we have grown used to me doing while watching tv or just chilling on the couch, we continue our conversation not realizing that the way we are sitting makes us look like a couple. Laf and Herc where the first ones to show up Herc instantly flipping out and accusing me and Thomas of being a couple and I continued to say no, we are not dating and Laf was laughing the entire time soon Laurens showed up with Madison. Madison and Thomas gave each other glares that could kill and I and John just tried to ignore it. By now we are just chilling till it's time to go to the movie then I hear a scream from in the distance 

"ALEXANDER!" I look over and I see Peggy running as fast as she can tackling me into a hug 

"Peggs seriously calm down"I heard a voice and I instantly felt dread, regret, and joy all at once I look up to see Eliza 

"hey Eliza" i smile she nods a small smile on her lips Peggy got off me to go hug Laf shes liked him for years but, Lafs really gay so it wouldn't work out she knows that but, the feelings haven't left before I left she would vent to me for late hours about it, seems she hasn't changed, don't know if that's nice or horrible I slowly get up 

"wheres Angie?" Eliza gave me a small smile "trying to get out of the car in one piece" she giggles softly 

"you know how she is"I smile nodding the awkward tension slowly melting as we chit chatted Thomas eventually coming up the conversation 

"so you're roomed with Thomas how's that going?" I chuckle 

" we have knives at each other's throats all the time" sarcasm lacing my lines like silk she gives me a confused look 

"you sound sarcastic, is it not like that?" I smile and nod 

"it's actually kinda nice, yeah we fight but he is genuinely a nice dude, kinda sexist but nice, hold on, "I smirk 

"Thomas! Hey, c'mere!" I smile as I see him run over a confused look only rivaling Eliza's I smirk moving to whisper in his ear 

"this is Eliza, my ex wanna mess with er?" he nods slightly 

"ok just, play along"I move away giving him a wink Thomas's face flushing bright red as I look at Eliza her face filled with confusion and, worry? I don't wanna know 

"Eliza, Thomas Thomas, Eliza" Thomas holds out his hand Eliza taking with a nice handshake when they pull away, I slip my hand into Thomas's my face dusting with a bright pink I can feel it. I look over his bright crimson 

"so are you two like an item?" her face kinda blushing 

"I mean not technically, "I say Thomas's face turning so red I don't think it can get any redder I smile and let go 

"c'mon guys Lafs waiting!" I yell running ahead looking back seeing Thomas having a look in his eye, one I can't pinpoint but Eliza, Eliza's eyes are filled with a swirl of I emotions I can tell by the way she stands and looks at me, jealousy, love, envy, and joy...that's how me and Eliza work. I can read her like a book but, she can't read a single thing on me. I make a c'mon motion with my hand and Thomas starts walking I smile and keep running till I get to the park entrance everyone waiting I smile as I see Thomas running up Eliza shortly behind. The walk to the movies being a weird one if I say so for myself me, Thomas, and Lafayette was having a french off. Seeing who could go longest without uttering a bit of French, I took French in high school and Laf taught me most I know. Thomas moved to France during middle school he came back with a French accent, Lafayette was born in France he moved to the country in the 7th-grade year. The fact of the matter is, Thomas and Laf are cousins Thomas's parents moved to America leaving the rest of the family. Thomas always kept close ties though and with some persuasion got Laf to move to America, teaching him English and Laf teaching him, French. Sounds like a shitty Disney channel original movie if you ask me but hey, that's life. Everyone else besides me the two Frenchies (one Virginian but ok) where playing guess the song so while us 3 where talking trying to avoid french 100% we would hear mulligan or Eliza yelling some Katy Perry bullshit. We walked up to the movies all getting a ticket, me not knowing i would end up leaving with everything different.
