The next morning I wake up in Alexander's arms. We didn't... did we?

I try to get out of bed but Alex holds me tighter. "We need to get ready for school."

"I don't care," he says.

"Martha will make us get up soon for school and you need to go to your own room so we don't get in trouble."

He groans and gets up and puts on some clothes. He walks by the bed and I pull him by his shirt so he falls on top of me.

"About last night, did we really.. ya know."

"I'm sorry," he says and looks away.

I put a hand to his face. "It's okay. I'm kinda glad it was you and not fucking Charles Lee."

He kisses me quickly. "I'm gonna go get ready. I love you."

"I love you too."

He leaves my room and I get up and get dressed. I decide not to wear makeup today just to please Alex.

I brush my hair and leave it down then grab my backpack go downstairs. I meet Alex at the bottom of the stairs.

He takes my hand and we drive to school.

At school, everyone stares at us like we're Gods. Alex walks with me to my locker. I put my backpack in it and put the lock back on and face Alex.
"I had fun last night," I say with a wink.

He blushes and looks down. I smile. He holds my hand tightly.

"You're so overprotective," I laugh.

"I just don't want any other guys looking at you."

I hug him and the bell rings. "I'll see you at lunch," I say kissing him and walking to my first class.

At lunch, the whole squad sits together excluding Eliza. She's with her new boyfriend John André. I lean against Alexander and he wraps and arm around me.

He kisses my cheek.

Peggy slams her hand on the table. "Jesus fucking hell could you not be anymore cuter?"

I look down and blush. "Peggy, you always come up with ship names. What's ours?"

She thinks about it for a minute. "Jamilton? No. Lams? Yes Lams!"

I look up at Alex. "Lams it is, I guess," he says and kisses me.

"PDA!" Angelica says. We laugh.

I look up and see Eliza and André looking at me and Alex and whispering. I quickly look away.

The bell rings for us to go to our next class.

At the end of the day, I wait for Alexander. Instead of Alex, I see none other than Elizabeth Schuyler herself.

"Hey John," she says.

"Um hi Eliza."

"Look, I just wanted to say something about Alexander. He might cheat on you. He cheated on me, so if he does just be prepared." Alex makes his way to us. "Good talk love!" she says and walks away.

Alex grabs my hand and we start to leave the school. "What was that about?"

"Oh um nothing."

"Okay."

We finally get back home. I run upstairs to my room and lock the door. I find an exacto knife. I extend the blade and make a few cuts on my arm then hide it again. Alex can't find out I do this. If he did, he would kill me. I make the blood stop then pull my sleeve down and go back downstairs and sit with Alex on the couch.

I keep thinking about what Eliza said. What if he does cheat on me?

"You okay baby?" Alex asks. "You seem tense."

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine." He kisses my cheek.

"You're so beautiful," he says and puts his hand on my thigh.

"I am not," I argue.

"It's not just your looks, your personality is beautiful too."

I roll my eyes. "Whatever."

"I love you."

"I love you too," I say and kiss him roughly. He kisses back and lays down on the couch with me on top of him. I kiss his neck and leave marks on his neck and collarbone. Right when he tries to take off his shirt, the front door opens and Mr. and Mrs. Washington walk in.

"We're home kids," says Mr. Washington. I quickly get off of Alex pull his shirt around his neck to hide the hickies.

I go up to my room with Alex behind me. He kisses me and I pull away. "Later."

"You're mean," he says with a pouty face.

I pat his head and smirk. "I know."
