"Can you stop hitting on me?" I asked putting down my cup of coffee

"What do you mean?" Derek said with a confused look on his face

"You know." I said walking away

"Omg why the fuck is this man so hottttttt!!!!" Devon said

"He's okay I guess." I told him, "I mean he is Leo's father."

"That man is a father?!" Devon asked, "why is he more attractive now?"

I laughed

"Let's do the play for him. It'll be better practice." I said

"Ok. Get your dad." Devon said as he went to go stare at Philip

After about 30 minutes everything was ready.

"How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore. And a scotsman dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the Caribbean By providence impoverished in squalor grow up to be a hero and a scholar."

"The ten dollar founding father without a father for a lot farther by workin' a lot harder by being a self starter by 14. They placed him on charge of a tradin' charter."

"And everyday while slaves were be slaughtered and carted away across the waves he struggled and kept his guard up inside he longin' for somethin' to be apart of the brother was ready to beg steal borrow or barter."

"And a hurricane came and deviation rained our man saw his future drip drippin' down the drain. Put a pencil to his temple connected it to his brain, wrote his first refrain the testament to his pain."

"Now the word got around they said 'This kid is insane man!' Took up a collection just to send him to the main land get your education don't forget from where you came and the worlds gonna know your name, what's your name man!"

"Alexander Hamilton. My name is Alexander Hamilton. And there's a million things I haven't done. But just you wait. Just you wait."

I walked up to Derek

"When He was 10 his father split full of it debt ridden two years see Alex and his mother bed ridden half dead. Sittin' in their own sick the scent thick."

"And Alex got better but his mother went quick."

"Moved in with his cousin, his cousin committed suicide, left him nothin' but ruined pride, somethin' new inside a voice saying 'Alex you gotta fend for yourself! He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf."

"There woulda been nothin' left to do for someone less astute he would've been dead a destitute without a cent of restitution started workin' clerkin' for his late mother's landlord tradin' sugar cane and all the things he can't afford scanning for every book he could get his hands on planning for the future see him now as he stands on the bow of a ship headed for a new land. In New York you can be a new man!"

"In New York you can be a new man"
"Just you wait!"

"In New York you can be a new man"
"Just you wait!"

"In New York you can be a new man. In New York! New York!"
"Just you wait!"

"Alexander Hamilton. We are waiting in the wings for you. You never learned you to take your time! Oh, Alexander Hamilton when American sings for you! Will they know what you overcame. Will they know you rewrote the game! The world will never be the same oh the ship is in the harbor now see if you can spot him. Another Immigrant comin' up from the bottom. His enemies destroyed his rep, America forgot him."

"We fought with him."

"Me? I loved h- I died for him."

Everyone looked at Devon weird I mouthed the words "turn down the gay for now."

"Me? I trusted him"

"Me? I loved him."

"And me? I'm the damn fool who shot him."

"There's a million things I haven't done. But just you wait. What's your name man? Alexander Hamilton!"
