Bad Things Happen

Revenge Part 2. Thomas's Turn.

A/N: forgive me for the awfully cheesy chapter title. And don't kill me please. This is kinda gonna be like that one scene in back to the future. Warning: angst, fighting, pain, not described but implied sexual harassment.

Alexander and Jefferson had been going back to back all week with childish, petty pranks. None of which were good enough to do as they called 'end the battle'.

"I need something bigger." Alexander said, talking to Eliza. "Something that will blow him out of the water."

"And how would one do that?" She asked.

"I know this sounds crazy. But would you ask him out on a date?"

"Ha! I see where you're going with this. I'll ask him out and show him up." Eliza laughed. "But do you think he'd buy it?"

"He's desperate."

Lunch.

"Hey Thomas, I'm really sorry that Laurens kid shoved you the other day." Eliza began with a small grin on her face. "And I felt kinda bad when Alexander hit you with that water balloon."

"Your point?" Jefferson asked confused.

"I wanted to know if..." Eliza paused. "dinner would cheer you up?" She smiled.

"Of course, how about that five star restaurant across the street?"

Eliza started to feel bad. The least she could do was tell him to meet her at a less fancy restaurant.

"How about that diner on 44 St.?"

"Consider it done." He smiled as she walked away.

Eliza gave no time or date. That just proved how desperate Jefferson truly was. She met Alexander by her locker.

"Phase one, is complete."

He gave her a smirk before the bell rang, then they both ran off to their next classes.

After Chemistry.

"So my darling, what time should I pick you up?" Jefferson made his way over to talk to Eliza.

"Oh no. I have a thing before, so I'll have to meet you there at say... 6:45?" She said, giving the first time she could think of.

"I'll see you there my love." Jefferson responded before leaving.

Laurens walked up to Eliza after noticing their conversation. He gave her a puzzled look before asking. "What?"

This was the first time Laurens had talked to Eliza, she was a little shocked.

"Huh? Oh! Alexander asked me to help him get back at Jefferson, so I asked him out on a fake date." She laughed.

Little did they know that James Madison had been eavesdropping as they spoke.

"Well Jefferson." James walked over to homeroom. "Heard you got a date."

"As a matter of fact, I happen to be taking Eliza out this evening." Thomas replied smugly.

"Maybe you want to see this?" He pulled up a voice recording on his phone.

What?

Huh? Oh! Alexander asked me to help get back at Jefferson. So I asked him out on a fake date.

Jefferson immediately recognized the voices as Eliza Schuyler and John Laurens, even though he only heard Laurens talk once.

"Ahh!" He screamed. He looked as if he could kill. "Where are they now?"
