"Are you excited Lizabeth?" Catherine looked back at her daughter. "Yeah. I guess." She said sadly. "Aw. Cheer up! Be glad that you already have two friends this year!" Her mother had sensed her sad tone. "Only one since Theo and I aren't that close anymore." Eliza sighed. Ever since Theodosia had met Aaron Burr, they had become really close. Almost too close. He had taken Eliza's best friend from her. And she hated him for that. "What about Alex and John, sweetheart?" Her mother asked. Eliza cringed at the sound of his name. "Mom, for the last time. Me and John aren't friends. We hate each other." "Well, maybe it'll change this year." Her mother replied. "Yeah! I mean new school, new you!" Angelica, Eliza's older sister, had taken her earbuds out to join in the conversation. "Easy for you to say you have more than one friend." She told her. "Eliza, school isn't about how many friends you have, it's about learning, and having fun while learning. If you only have one friend, that's fine. Who cares if you only have one friend." Angelica looked at me with kind eyes. "Honey, listen to your sister, remember she did this last year with no friends, and look at her now!"Her mother looked at her in the rear-view mirror. Eliza sighed and closed her eyes.

A few minutes later, the Schuyler sisters' mother had dropped them off at school and waved goodbye before they headed off into school. "You'll do great. I promise." Eliza's mother kissed her on the cheek. "Love you.." Eliza said as she walked off. Angelica had already found some of her friends from last year. Eliza just looked around hoping that she wouldn't see him. She's hated him ever since 3rd grade. He had done something terrible to her. Something that still haunts her to today. And even if her did show up, she would have to avoid him. Eliza was thinking about the third grade when all of the sudden she felt someone grab her from behind. She threw her hands back so that they hit the person in the face. The person let go and fell to the ground with a thud. She was about to walk away when she heard a very familiar voice say a muffled 'ow'". She turned around and saw her best friend Alexander Hamilton on the ground holding his nose. "What's your problem?" He said very nasally, rubbing his nose. "Huh? Oh sorry Alex! I didn't realize that it was you!" She said helping him up. The out of nowhere she punched him in the stomach and pushed him back down. "Wait? Why am I sorry? You're the one who grabbed me from behind!" Alex laughed. "Heh. Probably should've given you a heads up about that. Heh. Sorry." Alex said getting up and dusting his clothes off. "You should be sorry!" She said jokingly pushing him. "C'mon! Or we'll be late for homeroom!" Alex said pulling my arm.

When Eliza and Alex walked inside they stood at the entrance for a moment to take everything in. They were now 6th graders. They were now in Junior High. And they just couldn't wait for their first class. They were both very excited since they had almost every class but two, together. When they had taken everything in, Alex grabbed her arm and dragged her to some lockers. He pointed at locker 134 and said, "This is your locker. Too bad we're not locker buddies." "Where's your locker?" Eliza asked and Alex pointed down the  hall. "Aw. That sucks." "Yeah. But I'm glad that it's at least on this side of the school." Alex said. Eliza nodded in agreement and turned around so that she could try to open her locker. Alex had also gone down the hall to open his locker. Eliza became frustrated after a few tries of putting in the right combination and was close to give up when a guy came up behind her and said, "Here let me try, seems like you're having trouble." Eliza froze and turned around to see to one person she was trying to avoid.
