Sorry it's so short!

Alexander walked down the hall, arm in arm with Eliza. She was texting Angelica. He glanced at her phone. 'I'm just saying if you really love me, you would share him.' The last text read.

'Ha! 😂' Eliza texted back. Alex smiled. Eliza looked up at him and grinned.

Alex walked with her to class. They sat next to each other. It was English, Alex's favorite class. It usually involved writing. The only downside was that Jefferson, Burr, and Maria were in the same class. Maria didn't really bother him, Aaron was ok, but Jefferson? Ick. Therefore Aaron and Maria were annoying by connection.

"Ok, class," The teacher said. "This week's assignment is to write a 300+ word essay about any of the historical figures listed: Christopher Jackson, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Leslie Odom, Jr, or Daveed Diggs."

There were several groans. Alexander was actually kind of excited. He knew that everyone would choose Jackson and Diggs because they were presidents. But he was going to choose Miranda. He already knew some information about him; they were from the same place.

School was boring and he was glad to come home.

"Hello, boys," Alex's and John's foster mother, Martha said with a smile.

"Hey, Martha," John responded.

"You boys had better get to your homework."

"Yes, ma'am," Alex said.

Martha's kids, John and Patsy, ran around the boys's feet. Finally they broke away and the teens closed the door.
