Eliza's POV

We get to the ball and I notice everyone staring at us as we enter. I wish people didnt hang around because we were Schuylers I wish they talked to us for us! Peggy and Angalica go look for a guy to dance with and I do to.

I look at my brother backing away from his friends huh weird. Then he comes. "Hi" "hello"

what's my name agian? Eliza huh weird how love dose that. Wait what?

"You know. You strike me as a women who has never been satisfied in her life." "I'm sure I dont know what you mean do you forget yourself?" "you're like me, I'm never satisfied" "is that right?" "I have never been satisfied" name name name what is it?

"My name is Elizabeth Schuyler" "Alexander Hamilton" Gosh such a amazing name "weres you're family from?"

He didnt answer for a moment " unimportant theres A million things I havent done but just you wait."

So so. So this is what it feels like to Mach with someone on your level what the hell is the catch.

The feeling of freedom the seeing the light! Its Ben Franklin with the key and the kite. You see it right?

The conversation lasted 2 minutes Maybe 3 minutes everything we said in total agree with it.

It's a dream and it's a bit of a dance. A bit of a posture a bit of stance. He's a bit of a flirt but ima give him a chance.

I asked about his family did you see his answer. His hands started fidgeting he looked askance. Hes penniless hes flying by the seat of his pants.

Handsome boy those he know it. Peach fuzz and he cant even grow it. I wanna take him far away from this place.

Then I turn to see my twin brothers face and he is ...helpless....and I know he is....helpless...and his eyes are just...helpless.

And I relize three fundamental truths at the exact same time.

"Were are you taking me?" "I'm about to change your life!" "Then by all means lead the way"

Number 1: I'm a girl in a world in wich my only job is to marry rich my father has 1 son but I'm still the one who has to social climb for one. So I'm the oldest of us both and the wittiest and the gossip in New York city is insidious and Alexander is penniless. HA. That doesn't mean I want him any less.

"John Schuyler Laurens its a pleasure to meet you!" "Schuyler?" "My twin brother!"

Number 2:he's after me cuz I'm a Schuyler sister that elevates his status I'd have to be naive to set that aside Maybe that is why I introduce him to John now that's his love nice going Eliza he was right you will never be satisfied.

"Well..John if it takes a fancy ball for us to meet it will have been worth it"

he kissed his hand

"I'll leave you to it!" god John you ARE LUCKY I LOVE YOU!

Number 3: I know my brother like I know my own mind you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind if I tell him that I love Alex he'd be silently rescind Alex would be mine he would say I'm fine he'd be liying.

I love John to much to make him go through more pain.
