It's Jamilton but at the same time no it's not?

Gremlin POV

"Come on Alex, it'll be fun! Plus you might even be able to confess to Jefferson tonight!" Laf grinned at me while heat rushed to my cheeks.

"Shut up Laf and fine I'll go if it makes you happy," I groaned and got up, sliding my shoes on.

"Yay!" Laf cheered and opened the door for Alex to go through. "Ladies first," He joked, still grinning. I rolled my eyes and walked out, him closing the door behind us. 

Time skip~

I sighed and looked around at the sea of drunk teenagers. Laf walked over to me and handed me a cup, which I cautiously set down. "Mon petit lion go talk to him!" I shook my head.

"I'm way too nervous to do that Laf"

He crossed his arms, obviously thinking of what to do next. He then shrugged and walked off, though knowing him, that's probably part of his plan. I looked around and noticed John talking to Peggy and her laughing along, it was adorable.

Eliza was talking with Maria and I happened to look over just as they shared a kiss. I raised an eyebrow. They had been talking to each other for a while now, yes, but I didn't expect them to get to a relationship point. Especially with what happened between Maria and James (Reynolds obviously).

He wasn't the best of boyfriends and he had her go around and make other people cheat on their lovers so that the couple would break up. It was usually successful. Sadly for Maria though, she ended being called a whore, thot, and slut even though she when she tried to defend herself. She nearly transferred schools but thankfully Eliza had talked her out of it.

They then became close friends and the truth came out about what had really been happening. It still doesn't stop all the bullying she gets but at least it's gone down a good amount. James was instead expelled and was forced to move because of his family.

I found myself thinking about Thomas again. We used to hate each other but then we realized how petty it was and went down to more friendlier terms. Granted, we insult each other and make fun of each other, I don't mind it. It's actually quite fun to see what creative name he has for me each day.

I didn't realize how much I had grown to like Thomas. Honestly, I thought I was having anxiety problems again whenever I talked to him. Fidgeting with my hands, breath shortening, butterflies in my stomach. It seemed normal but it wasn't until Herc and Laf pointed out that I usually glanced in Thomas' direction just to get a look of him. Or how I blushed anytime he did anything remotely cute. They even said that I would go on tangents about him when I was drunk.

Why I was drunk? We don't talk about that. But they do say that a drink man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

I didn't realize Laf had pulled me along to the dance floor. I snapped out of my daze and glared at him. "Laf what the hell?"

He only chuckled. "Go be brave Alex, I believe in you," and with that, he walked away.

I took a deep breath and stumbled around to look for Thomas. It took forever but I finally spotted his abundance of curls in the crowd and I trekked my way over.

I thought of all the things I could say, of how I could confess to him. This took a lot of courage to do considering I nervous trying to ask to borrow a pencil.

When I finally settled on something, I made my final push through the crowd. My heart dropped.

There he was, happily talking with James (cinnamon roll Madison) while James smiled wide. James asked him something nervously and Thomas just smiled wider and nodded. James immediately beamed and pulled Thomas in for a kiss.

I frowned and felt tears rolling down my cheeks as I spun on my heel and walked away towards the exit. I was about 5 steps from the door when Laf jumped out in front of me, causing me to jump back.

"Mon petit lion, where are you going? Did something happen?" He wiped a few of the tears I had away.

"I was too late..." I mumbled and he frowned.

"Oh Alex, you wanna go home now? We can get some ice cream on the way."

I sniffled and nodded, watching as he opened the door and walked out. I followed behind him and we got in his car, driving off.

It was mainly silence until be asked, "Alex will you be okay?"

"Yeah, it's not like this is the first time this has happened," I frowned, thinking back to both John and Eliza.

"If you say so," He sighed and kept driving.
