PEGGY POV

Alex and John were leading us to their friends' dorm. It was only me, Alex, John and my sisters because Maria had to go. Alex opened the door and led us inside.

"Hey Alex, hey John" said a big masculine guy with a bandanna wrapped around his head.

"Is that Alex's girlfriend and her sisters?" Another guys said with a heavy accent. He was tall and skinny and had curly, fluffy hair tied up into a ponytail.

"Yep. Girls this is Laf and Herc" John said pointing to the tall one then the masculine one.

We talked for a bit and it was nice, but I noticed they all seemed to know each other from somewhere.

"Umm do you guys know each other from somewhere?" I asked my sisters. I was meeting these boys for the first time, but they didn't seem like they were.

"Yeah, the ball a few weeks ago! Remember Pegs?" Angie looked at me like that was an amazing night. Well for her and Eliza it was. Me not so much.

~Flashback~

I watched as my sisters dazzled the room at the ball. My father made me attend although there was no reason for me to. I made my way to the snack bar, the only thing I was looking forward too.

I walked around for a bit and it was quite difficult because it was packed. I was wearing high heels because my father wouldn't let me wear flats.

Someone ran straight into me. I twisted my ankle and fell face first into someone's arms. I didn't see who it was because I ran right out of the room. I ran to the garden, my favorite place in the house. My foot hurt pretty bad but I ignored the pain.

'Nobody's even going to notice I'm gone' I thought to myself.

And soon enough, the party ended, not a soul noticing that I left.

~Flashback Ended~

I looked down at my foot. The party was only a two weeks ago so I was still wearing an ankle brace from it.

I sighed. "Oh you mean the ball where I was proven that nobody cares about me? The ball where I hurt myself and ran out, but nobody cared?! The ball that I DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WOULD HAPPEN?! Yeah that was a great night." I forced a fake smile and looked down before anyone could see the tears forming in my eyes.

"Peggy-" Eliza started but I cut her off.

"Don't." I got up and walked out of the room before anyone could see me crying.

I sat in the hall crying for a few minutes, then I heard someone come outside. I figured it was Angie, Lizzy, or John. "Go away" I turned away from the person.

"Nah, I don't wanna"

"A-Alex? Why are you here?"

"Peggy I understand-" I cut him off, apparently I'm doing that a lot today.

"You don't understand! You moved here a year ago and are known throughout the whole state! I've lived here my whole life and am part of one of the richest, most well known families in the country and no one knows me!!" I screamed through tears.

"Ok, maybe I don't understand that but I had a pretty hard life." Alex looked me in the eyes "I haven't told anyone this, not even John. But I feel like you'll understand. So you can't tell anyone ok"

"O-Ok" I was a bit confused but Imma go with it.

"I came from a small town in the Caribbean. My father left, my mother died. I moved in with my cousin and he committed suicide. A hurricane destroyed my town and separated me from my brother. I wrote about it and that's how I moved here and met my friends and Eliza." Alex looked sad but still smiled a bit when he said his friends and Eliza.

"Alex, I'm so sorry. I was being a bit over dramatic but what happened to you is just plain terrible!"

"First, don't apologize, it's ok. Second, you have every right to be upset, angry, and frustrated." Alex hugged me.

"Thanks, you're really good at this"

He laughed. "I try"

We had all been sitting and talking in the dorm again but this time I noticed that Laf kept looking at Angie. I sniff a ship.

Overall the day was good, well except getting stuck in an elevator, but that wasn't that bad.

ELIZA POV

After Alex had introduced us to his friends I went back to my room, it was a pretty long day so I just wanted to meet my roommate and go to bed.

I walked in to see a girl wearing a purple sundress.

"Hi!" The girl looked up from what she was doing.

"Hi! My name's Elizabeth Schuyler and I'm your roommate!"

"Theodosia Bartow, nice to meet you" she stuck her hand out and I took it.

"Nice to meet you, Theodosia"

"Please call me Theo" she smiled at me.

"I go by Eliza" I smiled back at her.

PEGGY POV (One Week Later [go ahead start the lyric chain] and btw they met Aaron and Theo is friends with all the girls, I'm lazy so yeah)

I walked to Angie's room because Maria was gone for some reason and I'm bored. Angie also doesn't have a dorm mate so I go over there a lot. I grabbed the key Angie gave me and walked in.

"Angie?" It sounded like she was in her bedroom but crying.

I went into her room and sat on her bed next to her. I was right, she was crying.

"O-Oh hey Pegs" Her voice was shaky.

"Angie what's wrong?"

"I'm fine" she fake smiled at me.

"Don't lie to me."

She sighed and started crying silent tears. "I love him." Her crys got heavier.

"Who?"

"A-Alexander, but I can't hurt Eliza like that."

"Hey, it's ok" I honestly have no idea what to do.

"I love Eliza more, so I can't let them find out. B-But that doesn't stop the feelings." Then I knew what would help Angie.

"FORGET ALEX!" I screamed, although I kinda didn't mean to.

"What?" Angie just stared at me.

"You're Angelica Schuyler for crying out loud!! You don't need no man!! And if you did, any guy would die to date you!!" I jumped off the bed and dorkily (is that a word?) smiled at my older sister.

"You're right Pegs!! I don't need anyone!!" Angie jumped off the bed too. "Thanks" she hugged me. 

Hey so this chapter was kind weird and yeah. Also I'm going ahead and saying this now, any French in this book was from Google Translate so feel free to correct me. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
