Eliza

I grab a bagel as I head out.

"Bye, Angelica!" I say as shut the door. A little bit too loud. I look through the window to see Angelica rubbing her eyes. I'm the early riser of the family.

I pull out my phone as I gulp down the last of my breakfast.

"Hi, Kitty. I'm really sorry about what happened. Happy belated birthday." I pause.

"I love you, Kitty, I would never do anything to hurt you." I say. I sigh as I check my Instagram. I've never had a way with my words, and neither has Kitty. They say we're being assigned classrooms where we can warms up, in groups of two or three.

I pick up my pace as tears line my eyes. The bus is almost here, so I walk a little faster. Soon, I'm sprinting down the sidewalk.

I arrive at the bus-stop just as the bus comes. As I climb on board, I look around for familiar faces. A wisp of red hair meets my eye, and I realize it's Alexander. I feel my face heating up.

"Hey, Eliza!" He says, waving. He pats on the seat next to him. I smile weakly.

"Uh, hi." I walk over to Alexander and sit down.

"Never thought you'd be the type to ride the bus, Miss Schuyler," He says, grinning. I just roll my eyes.

"T-there's a lot you don't know about me, Mr. Hamilton," I stammer, pulling out my sketchbook. I flip open to a new page, passing weeks of memories. Each drawing is its own little story about what was happening right then. A cup of coffee - Angelica's idea, so I would stop bothering about what to draw when she was oh-so-tired in the morning. A happy little witch, Pegs' idea, when she was eagerly trying to get me to show Maria my skills. Lastly, my designs for a friendship bracelet for Kitty and I.

"Woah, that's really good." Alexander says as he grabs my sketchbook.

"Um, I guess," I try to grab back my sketches. He just keeps on going through it - irritatingly.

"Can I have it back now?" I say. Alexander just scoffs and hands it back.

"Speaking of which, where are you going?" I point at the present I see poking out of his backpack.

It's all sparkly and green, with a nice little golden label to go with it.

"Going to a birthday party." Alexander says, trying to push it back in.

"Oh."

Maria

I hop off the bus. I got up extra early so I could get early - I mean, what else would I get up for?

Well, Cat and I have had really long talks, that last until the sun rises. So much for a good sleep schedule.

"Oh, hi Maria." Elizabeth says. She's talking with Polly, that girl who was with Alex before she arrived.

I can't get her out of my head.

"Hey," I smile weakly. Elizabeth seems worried.

"Have you seen Kitty?" She asks. I'm a little caught off guard - should I tell her?

"No, I haven't seen her. Wer - Aren't you best friends or something?" I scoff. Elizabeth studies me carefully, as if I was a specimen.

"So, what role are you trying for?" Polly pipes up.

"Catherine of Aragon," Elizabeth says.

"Oh, Anne Boleyn, obviously."

Alexander

I knock on the door. I had received an invitation from her a few weeks ago, and maybe we can clear this whole mess up. I hear the sound of locks as a pair of sparkling green eyes peer at me through a crack in the door.

"Oh, hi Alex." She says, and her usually loud awkward voice is soft and reassuring.

"Hi Kitty."
