Chapter 1

Hi! I'm Peggy Schuyler. And I'm f*cking forgotten by most!!

"PEGGY!! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THAT LANGUAGE?"

SORRY ELIZA!

Anyway this is my story...

PEGGY POV

"PEGGY WAKE UPPPPPP!" I woke up to Eliza shaking me.

"Come on guys we have to get to the King's College to get schedules and dorms!" I heard Angie yell from downstairs. Ugh why does she always have to be early.

I rolled out of bed and went to find clothes. "I hate mornings," I mumbled under my breath. I put on black leggings and a yellow sweater with black ankle boots (Is that what they're called? I don't really fashion) (Peggy's outfit ⬇️⬇️ Sorry if that looks weird I had to make it myself)

I quickly tied half of my hair up and ran downstairs to my sisters. We packed everything last night so all we had to do was put it in Angie's car. Eliza would come for her car later and I was leaving my car here.

"Are you going to help?" Angie yelled from her car where she was pitting boxes and suitcases.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" I picked up some boxes and walked to her car. All that was left was my stuff and I didn't pack too much so I got it all in one trip. Well it was kinda hard and two trips would've been easier but I don't care.

"Ok, let's go" Eliza said getting in the passenger seat of the car.

———————————————————————————

We got our schedules and dorm numbers. We were all in different dorms and I had no classes with them, Eliza had some classes with Angie, but I didn't. I went to Angie's car to get my stuff and did the same thing as before, over packed my arms because I didn't want to make two trips. My dorm was on the third floor so I got on the elevator. When I got on the third floor and ran into something and my stuff went everywhere. I started picking my stuff up when I saw what I ran into.

A boy, a handsome one on that note. He has beautiful greenish brown eyes and curly brown hair slicked back into a beautiful low ponytail. He has freckles plastered all over his face, there has to be more than there are stars in the sky and if I could sit there and count them I would. I realized that I'm staring.

"I'm sorry!" I quickly yell.

"It's ok, you couldn't see, it was more my fault" He laughed. "John Laurens." He held his hand out. While still on the floor I took his hand and shook it.

"Peggy Schuyler" I smiled.

"I can help you take your stuff to your dorm if you want" John offered.

"That would be a huge help, my sisters left me to go to their dorms." I also kinda told them I didn't need help but he didn't need to know that.

We picked my stuff up and brought it to my dorm. John helped me unpack and set up, my roommate wasn't there yet.

"I'm heading to see my best friend, he's at his girlfriend's dorm, do you wanna come?" John asked once we finished.

"I was actually about to go to my sister's dorm but we can walk together! What floor is her dorm on?"

"The fourth" John looked into my eyes, giving me a good look at his.

"That's where my sister's dorm is!" I jumped up off my bed where we were sitting. "Let's go!" I grabbed John's arm without thinking and practically ran out of the room.

"Ok this is her dorm" I said stopping in front of Eliza's dorm.

"Oh that's where my friend said his girlfriend's dorm is" John and I giggled slightly.

"Maybe they're roommates?" I suggested.

"Well let's find out!" He excitedly opened the dorm and slightly pulled me in.

"Eliza?" I looked to see her talking to a boy with straight brown hair into a ponytail.

"Oh hey Pegs!" Eliza waved me over. "You remember Alex right?"

"Alex?" John said making me whip my head around.

"John! This is my girlfriend Eliza!" Alex gestured to Eliza and she waved.

"Your best friend is dating my sister?!" I asked John.

"Hey I didn't know this until now either!" John threw his hands up.

I giggled. "Umm is there something going on here?" Alex asked looking at the two of us laughing.

"Peggy who's this? Well other than Alex's friend" Eliza was super confused.

"Well we bumped into each other in the hall!" John and I said at the exact same time causing us to erupt into laughter.

"Hey guys!" Angie said as she walked in although I didn't really care, me and John were still laughing hysterically.

We had stopped laughing and I heard Alex whisper to Eliza "I knew you had an older sister but I didn't know you had a younger one."

He was still talking but everything was drowned out. Forgotten. Again. "I-I'll be right back" I rushed out of the room on the verge of tears. I ran to the end of the hall and curled up into a ball. I started crying, mostly out of frustration. Am I really just a forgotten Schuyler? Angie's smart, pretty, sophisticated. Eliza's kind, beautiful, trusting. What am I? And Peggy? I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt someone sit next to me.

"Well that made it so obvious that something definitely WASNT wrong." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up to see John's freckled face. I giggled at his comment.

"What's wrong Peggy?" John's words were soft and caring.

"Nothing" I sighed a bit when I said that.

John just look at me with the Yeah sure, how about no face. I let out another small giggle at his face.

"I don't know I guess I thought I was used to being forgotten but it hurts just as bad as it did years ago." saying that hurt me inside.

John just hugs me. It was an amazing hug, I felt as if someone besides my sisters really cared. Like for once, I wasn't just 'and Peggy'.

John whispered into my ear, "Don't ever feel like you're less than someone, you're more than everyone."

"Thanks" I smiled and hugged him again.

"Do you wanna know what Alex said after that?" I nodded. "He said 'She stands out though. I can't believe I didn't know about her.'"

"H-he really said that?!" I was shocked, no one had ever said anything like that about me.

"Yep. He's right too" John's smile was so comforting and kind.

"Let's go back" I said standing up and offering John my hand.

WHILE IM THINKING ABOUT IT, AGES!!! Ok I'm going to stop yelling. Angie, Laf, Jefferson, and Burr are third years. Everyone else but Peggy and Maria are Second years. And Peggy and Maria and first years. Ok thanks for reading this trash and have a good day!
