:August 28th 2016:

I couldn't sleep that Saturday night. Whenever I tried to drift off to sleep, my thoughts would wonder back to John Laurens and the night we shared. I thought about the feeling of his arm around me and how good it felt. I thought about how he comforted me and how safe I felt. I thought about how we cuddled close and how warm it made me feel inside.

I felt like my heart was about to e x p l o d e.

And I didn't know why.

The more I thought about John, the mushier I felt inside.

My face felt so hot...

I must be coming up with a fever or something.

Or perhaps I'm blushing?

Gah, how am I blushing just because I'm thinking about John!?

Why do I feel so...helpless.

I'm so frustrated! Can I just punch a wall?

I've never felt this before. I could hear my heartbeat throbbing in my chest. My head was just full of non-stop thoughts.

All thoughts of John.

Could this...

Could this be crushing on him?

No way, I can't be crushing on John, I met him just a week ago!

But it feels like my entire body is telling me that I do have a crush on him.

But it's not like I found my soulmate or something.

Soulmate...

That word feels so weird to think about now.

Soulmate...

Could John Laurens...

Be my Soulmate?

I open my eyes. All black, still.

Oh...

Wait. It's night. That was stupid of me. Of course it's dark!

I'll see what the morning has in store for me.

||John Laurens||

I wake up to a thud coming from the room next door.

Worried as I was, I rushed out of my room and into Alexander's to only see him...collapsed?

"Alex!" I rush by his side and shake him awake, "Alexander, are you alright!?"

He sat up with a groan and rubbed his head. And as if he recalled a memory, he looked around the room with wonder in his eyes. His expression was

b l a n k.

"Alex?" I asked him, "Hellooo?" I waved my hand in front of his eyes to get his attention.

He looked back at me and hesitated to speak.

"I- uh, I-I'm fine. Totally, yeah! What are you talking about, Laurens? You silly...I'm-I'm fine!" He stuttered with his face completely red.

"Should I...should I call an ambulance?" I asked with concern for my friend.

"I'm...fine. Just leave me alone for a bit, ahahaha..." Alexander said as he stared into my eyes with wonder. What was going on with him?

"I-uh, okay?"

"Whoa...you look so-so pretty right now...your eyes look amazing, holy shit." Alexander said as he reached for my face. I swear, I could see stars in his eyes.

I backed away and headed for the door.

"Uh, try to get some more sleep then. Hope you feel better." I said as I closed the door behind me.

That was...weird.

***

Alexander had been acting weird all day. He stared continuously at random objects of different shades of color for hours straight.

Me, Herc, and Laf were considering calling an ambulance.

Maybe he just had something to drink? And a lot of it??

It was confusing.

Alexander had never been this...weirdly curious before.

There was a ring at the door.

Alexander raced over to it and flung the door open. Only to see a girl in a long summer dress standing at the door.

"Hey, Eliza! Wow, your blue dress looks amazing." Alex said, staring at the dress that apparently was blue.

How would Alexander know it was blue?

"Oh, thank you!" Eliza said with blush on her cheeks. She cleared her throat. "Anyway, Alexander, I want to ask you something..."

"What is it?" Alex asked.

"Um...would you, uh, like to join me for dinner? Like, at a restaurant or something?" Eliza asked as she twiddled with her fingers.

A negative strike of emotion hit me like a brick to the face.

For some reason I was against the idea that Alexander goes with Eliza to dinner.

But why?

||Alexander Hamilton||

HOOOoooooLLY SHIT

I. CAN. SEE. COLOR.

WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS!?

Ahem...

Let me just take a moment to relax. There is no big deal, it's just color.

But then it hit me like a big yellow school bus.

John Laurens showed me color.

John Laurens is my soulmate.

A flock of butterflies flew through my stomach.

What the heck do I tell him?

I can't just walk up to him and be like "Oh hey yeah you showed me color so I guess you're my soulmate so let's just get married and adopt a kid named-"

Yeah. Not happening.

I'll just wait until we have gotten to know each other more. Or maybe I'll let him discover that I'm his soulmate on his own.

Back to reality.

Eliza stood at the door and asked a sudden question.

"Um...would you, uh, join me for dinner? Like, at a restaurant or something?"

I tilted my head with confusion. "Like a date?"

She looked up at me with a face as red as a tomato, "Yes! I hope you don't mind, I just..." She searched for the right words to say but couldn't find them.

I thought about her question. I guess it would be nice to get to know Eliza.

"Sure, why not?" I said with a smile. A look of happiness was now what covered her face.

"Okay! Um, I'll give you a few minutes to get ready. I'll be at Starbucks!"

I closed the door and walked back into the familiar dorm. Laurens stood there and looked as if he had heard the whole conversation.

"John, you alright?" I asked. Wow. He looked even more stunning with color.

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Ahem, you got a date, I see?" He asked awkwardly. I smiled at him.

"I sure did! Now I have to get ready." I said as I rushed to my room with the door closed.

||John Laurens||

I sighed as Alex ran into his room to get ready for the date.

Lafayette approached me with a huge grin on his face, "Looks like somebody's jealous."

I spun my head around. "No, I'm not! Why would I be jealous?"

Lafayette put a hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry, mon ami, I get jealous whenever Herc is close with someone else too."

I blushed, "I don't know what you mean. I'm not jealous."

"It's written all over your face, mon ami. You don't want Alex to go on a date with Eliza because you want him all to yourself."

I crossed my arms, "Not true!"

"Pfft. If the shoe fits, wear it. Just embrace the fact that you like Alexandere!" Lafayette had the most sly look on his face.

Ugh. Shippers.

"But I don't. And it wouldn't matter if I did. That girl would make a better match for him." I said as I looked down at the floor.

"Stop that negative talk. This date thing isn't a big deal. The way Alexandre looks at Eliza is nothing compared to the way he looks at you. Aw, I bet the petit lion is in love with you."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there. How exactly can you tell that someone likes you just by the way they look at you?" I asked.

"I can tell because the way that Alexandre looks at you is the same way Hercules looks at me."

Whoa...

Where is the logic in all that?

But if it's true...

Holy crap.

Alexandre Hamilton likes me?

Think it's moving too fast? Haha, I have a little idea to fix that ;)

//Drama//

Holy onto yer butts because we are in for a bumpy ride soon.

Question of the day:

Your least favorite ship?

I'd say Phileaker

Ehhhhh

Why is it a ship? Seriously?

Can you tell me, maybe?

Bye...
