Elenor Jefferson and Theodosia Burr walked down the hall to see a crowd of girls.

"Ugh, it's just Hamilton, let's go!" Ella said dragging her friend away.

"Can't I just look at him for once! He's super cute!" Theo begged but Ella kept walking, she was surprisingly strong.

"No. Besides the bell is going to ring soon" and as if on cue the bell rang. "Told ya!"

Theo got out of her friend's grip and started walking next to her. They sat in their next class, waiting for it to start.

"Ew, it's Jefferson" Philip snarled as he walked in the room.

"Go fuck yourself Hamilton" Ella snapped not looking up from the book she was reading.

"Nah, I'm good... Ellie" Philip knew exactly what would happen next.

Ella was furious. There was only two people on the planet aloud to call her that, Her dad and her sister.

"Wanna repeat that, Philly?" Ella was glad none of his fan girls were in there because she didn't wanna deal with them.

Philip stared down the Jefferson girl. Only his mother called him that.

"What's wrong Hamilton? Need your daddy to come pick you up?" Eleanor spat.

She felt something hit her face, and hard.

"WHAT THE HELL HAMILTON?" Ella screamed in the boys face.

"Don't talk about my father." Philip was trying not to laugh at the Jefferson's red face.

"I swear to fking god, I didn't even say anything bad about him!" The girl said holding her cheek.

"And I don't care." The young Hamilton glared at the young Jefferson... And then he was punched in jaw.

All Philip could think as he gripped his face was 'damn that girl hits hard'. He moved his hand and saw blood all over his hand.

"Ok, I didn't think I would hit you that hard-"
Ella was cut off by being punched in the eye so hard that her head flew back and hit a desk, causing her to pass out.

"Ellie?... Ele?.... ELLA? ELEANOR?!" Philip instantly regretted hitting her so hard. "Shit, shit, shit... Eleanor wake up!" He was shaking the girl's shoulders, he then noticed the blood all over her head.

＊•＊

Ella woke up in the nurse's office with a throbbing headache. 'What happened?' She thought.

She sat up and saw Theo sitting in a chair next to her. "Theo what happened?"

"Ella! Wait, do you not remember?" Theo looked at her friend worried.

"All I remember is..." she suddenly remembered more, "punching Hamilton in the jaw."

"Ella, he punched you in the eye, making your head hit the desk, and gave you a black eye and a concussion."

Ella was trying to wrap her head around all of this. 'Damn I guess he's stronger than he looks'

"Where is he?" Ella asked her friend.

"In detention, I think they're sending you there once you can actually function. You hit his jaw hard"

"Well he deserved it."

"Ella. You should apologize."

"WHAT? AT LEAST I DIDNT GIVE HIM A BLACK EYE AND A CONCUSSION!"

"True, but that doesn't make what you did right."

The nurse walked in and checked on Ella and told her she was supposed to head to detention for the rest of the day.

Ella walked towards the detention room mumbling things about Philip.

She stood in the doorway looking at the boy.

"Hamilton." Ella grumbled.

The boy stood up and ran towards her.

"Ellie I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"Don't call me that. Save your apologies and I was forced to say this next part. I'm sorry Philly."

"I forgive you somewhat and I'm really truly sorry."

"You better be." Ella scuffled to an empty desk far away from Philip.

Philip sighed and sat back down.

~~Time skip to when school gets out~~

Ella lightly smacked the back of Philip's head. "Wake up Stupid, School's over."

She and Philip walk out of the room at the same time. Girls quickly surrounded Philip shoving Ella to the floor.

"Ew, get out of my way freak."

"Don't come near our Pip."

"Whatever he did to you, you definitely deserved it"

"That'll show you not to mess with Philly"

"Don't call me that." Philip made his was through the crowd of girls and stood infront of Ella. He put his hand out to pull Ella up.

She quickly stood up herself and looked Philip in the eyes. "I don't need your help."

"Fine, I won't be nice then" Philip glared down at the girl, he was a good few inches taller than her.

Ella turned on her heel and called back "Philly have fun with your fan girls."

"He said not to call him that!"

"Pip, go get her!"

"Philip, tell her who's boss!"

Ella heard those and snickered. "IM BOSS BISH!" She called to Philip and his fans.

"Ugh, she's so annoying Pip."

"She sure is something" Philip sighed. "Something."

Ella and Theo were walking out of school together.

"Ugh my dad never stops working, it's so annoying. I mean don't get my wrong, I love him to death but he never has time for me and Mary." Ella said to her friend as they walked.

"Tell me about it." Theo sighed.

"Hey guys! What are you talking about?" John Maddison said walking up to the girls.

"Hey John, we're just talking about how our dads work a lot." Ella said to her friend, John and Ella have known each other since birth.

"Yeah... my dad's not as bad as yours Ella, but he's still bad about it." John added into the conversation.

"Do you guys wanna go to the library and study?" Theo asked.

"I definitely need to study and my dad's coughing makes it hard to focus. So yeah, I'm down" John shrugged.

"Ok but you better not start sneezing" Ella giggled

"Hey! It's not even allergy season!" John huffed.

The girls laughed. "I don't really need to study but I'll do it anyway!" Ella said with pride.

The other two groaned at Ella bragging again. She was the top of every class and was a year younger than everyone.

"So what'd you and Philip do in detention?" Theo snickered a bit because she knew how much Ella hated him but she kinda shipped them.

"Well stupid head fell asleep and I drew him dying in various ways." Ella pulled a bunch of paper with Philip dying as drawings.

"Should we be concerned?" John whispered in Theo's ear.

"I have no clue" Theo whispered back.

The three walked to the library and found a spot to sit and study. Theo and John were studying together and Ella was reading her favorite book series, Percy Jackson, and drawing Philip dying more.

After about 30 minutes Ella heard foot steps behind her but she ignored them and kept drawing.

"Is that me being mauled by tigers, Jefferson?"

Ella turned around to see none other than Philip Hamilton with his hand on her chair, looking over her shoulder.

"It's only one tiger, it makes you seem weaker." Ella scuffed.

"Well ok then..." Philip looked at the girl odd.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ella said.

"You're messed up." Philip said before walking away.

John and Theo walked up to Ella.

"Why can't you two just get along." John crossed his arms and looked at Ella.

"Because he's my rival!" Ella screamed.

"You sure have a cute rival" Theo laughed as Ella turned away trying not to blush.

"My rival, is not cute."
