I am so nervous right now I don't think I know how to breathe at the moment...my palms are sweaty, my hands are shaky, and I feel like I could burst into tears. I look over at John who looks like he is feeling the same thing as well "how you feelin buddy?" I asked with a crooked grin "terrible Lex...I never thought this day would come where I'd have to say goodbye to my fr-family..." he mumbled while wringing his hands together. I felt a lump form in my throat as tears welled up in my eyes "me too John...me too" I mumbled sadly "I'mma miss you Lex" he whispered while slowly wrapping his arms around me "me too John" I chocked out as a tear slipped down my cheek, I heard a chocked sob leave John's body as he hugged me tighter. Sadly it was only me and John who were together out of our group, we are currently separated by genders and academic standards it's too complicated to explain. I let out another sigh as I thought about the beginning...it was complete utter and bullshit but in the end...it turned out better than expected...I finally got the family I've always wanted and not just the Washingtons. I listened to the principle's crummy speech about how he never expected this day to come which we all know he has been having wet dreams about this day coming. He then proceeded to call names from the list of student, I looked upon the stage watching many faces zoom by but I was looking for my people to be called and proceed to walk upon the stage...then it finally happens... "Angelica Schuyler" the principal said into the mic. The crowd immediately bursts into cheers and claps as she walked up the stage looking as beautiful as ever in her cap and gown, I screamed so loud I could literally feel my vocal cords snap but that didn't stop me from cheering for her. As soon as she came Eliza was called next "Elizabeth Schuyler" she walked the stage with so much confidence I couldn't help but scream: "you go girl!" She obviously looked my way and laughed as she accepted her diploma. Then Peggy was next "Margarita Schuyler" Peggy walked out with a scowl but quickly changed her expression and showed her pearly whites and said her thank you. I felt like I could cry when I my girls walk the stage, after a while it was time for the boys and boy was I nervous.

After the sisters walked the stage I couldn't stop smiling, I overlooked the crowd multiple times trying to find my Lex but I couldn't maybe I'll see him while I'm on the stage. I waited patiently as they called names until a familiar names was called "James Madison" James gave me a huge smile before he turned and walked along the stage, I heard the familiar cheering of the crowd and a very proud John go: "that's my boyfriend!" Which caused the students to laugh and James to blush. Wherever he is Alex is most likely with him "Hercules Mulligan" Herc hive fives me as he walked out. As soon as he was seen by the crowd he let out a loud bellowing: "BRAHH!" Which caused the crowd to laugh and cheer, I shook my head as I chuckled. I then felt a hand on my shoulder "monsieur? How are toi feeling?" Laf asked "if I'm being honest sick to my stomach" I grumbled when the familiar feeling came back "ah? Butterflies in votre tummy?" Laf asked with a head tilt "oui monsieur" I said with a soft smile which he gladly returned "Marquis de Lafayette" Laf turned to me with a bright smile then he gave me a big hug "au revoir monsieur" he mumbled before walking along the stage...and then there was one...I let out a shaky sigh as I knew I was next "Thomas Jefferson" I shook whatever nerves I had and walked out. The crowd began to cheer as I smiled and gave a timid but shy wave, as I accepted my diploma from the principle I heard a familiar voice in the crowd: "you go Thomas!!" I quickly looked and spotted Alex you looked as beautiful as ever, he blew multiple kisses which I gladly returned as I walked off the stage.

Alexander
It was now me and John's turn to walk the stage, I felt nervous but also excited...I've waited for this day ever since I was a child and now it's finally happening "you ready Alexander?" John asked which caused me to cock an eyebrow "Alexander? You haven't called me that since day one" I said with a wide smile "yea it's not gonna last long" he said with a fake grimace which caused me to shove him lightly "John Laurens" "in the place to be" he whispered to me as he turned to walk away. He then walked out and yelled to the crowd: "what time is it?!" Herc and Laf quickly answered him back "SHOWTIME!" I burst into a fit of giggles as John beamed at his friends, he quickly grabbed his diploma and blew a kiss to James who blew one back. Now it's my turn... "Alexander Hamilton" I felt like time had stopped as I exhaled my breath and proceed to walk out and along the stage. The crowd began to cheer especially the sisters and the rev squad "that's my baby boy!" Herc yelled as he picked Peggy up who cheered also "you go Alex!" Angie boosted as Eliza cheered and clapped. I sent them a well deserved wave along with Martha and George who managed to sit in the front. Martha was already in tears and George looked proud...like a real dad should...I accepted my diploma and walked off the stage and sat in my reserved seat between Thomas and John.

After Alexander walked the stage, the principle took to the mic and began to give us our congratulations and well deserved applause "alright now may I please have all graduates stand?" The principle asked and we all complied and stood up in wonderful sync "wonderful. Now proceed to move those tassels for me" he asked with a wide grin. I moved my tassels along with the rest, I looked to everybody who had beaming grins on the face. Alex looked to me and lightly nudged my shoulder which caused me to chuckle "now...throw those caps off and celebrate!!" He yelled as we all tossed our caps up. Confetti then fell from the ceiling which surprised all of us to let out shocked gasps "whoooo!! We did it guys!" Peggy yelled "I'm proud of us!" James beamed. I looked down at Alex who looked up at me and gave a soft smile. I slowly leaned down and gave him a gently kiss which he gladly accepted, the crowd grew louder as they clapped for us. When I pulled away Alex was already looking at me with a soft look in his eyes "I love you Thomas" he hummed as he placed his forehead against mine "I love you too Lex" I whispered back with a peck to his nose.

No one (narrator or basically me)
After the graduation the group headed to a small diner for the last time. There were laughs, excessive talking, jokes, and tears...lots and lots of tears. It was in fact true that the sisters left right after the graduation to head upstate, Laf and Herc would be leaving in two days so they still had time in New York, James and Thomas planned to stay for an extra week but they eventually had to leave also, and that leaves Alex and John who are able to get into their own trouble. Even though the group isn't here to thank you, they wish you the best of wishes and they are truly glad that you chose this story. Au revoir Mademoiselles and Monsieurs
