The carrige's familiar rocking came to a stop. "We have arrived sirs!" The muffled voice of the driver said to us from outside. Alexander stepped out and you followed. Thanking the driver you went inside. The house, well more of a mansion, awed you. It was majestic and class smothered every carving and painting.

High ceilings captivated you with an airy feeling. Columns were on the other side of the huge french doors you had just passed. Beautiful paintings of most likely the family were lined up down the halls. Everything seemed expensive and very enchanting. Keeping your clumsy self in check, you made sure to steer clear of everything.

"Amazing, isnt it?" Alexander whispered to you. Not able to form words you nodded. Finally pulling your eyes away from the impressive manor, you begin to notice the crowd of people around you. You began to tug at the cuffs of your suite, a nervouse habit you have developed over the years. "Are you alright?" Alex noticed your twitch. You attempted to smile. "Ha, just a little nervouse, that's all." Alex moved your hands away from your suite like a mother would with a child. "Stop that. People might notice and that's when you will be embaressed." Taking his advice you forced yourself to stop. Alex nodded politely to a couple who passed by. "Relax," he says, leaning back over to you, "there is nothing to be nervouse about."

Loud music fills your ears as you enter the ball-room. Women and men in bright clothing swirled all around, and a few people mingled on the outer edges of the dance floor. 'Oh good GOD. How many people are here?' You expertly repressed your growing anxiety and forced a delighted smile. "Alexander! I see you made it after all!" A man approched us, clapping Alex on the back rather hard. Alex laughed and nodded. "Yes. I am glad I did make it. This is a lovely party!" The man puffed out his chest like a prideful peacock, accepting the compliment. 'So this must be Mr.Schuyler' "Thank you, thank you." Mr. Schuyler looked at me and smiled. "Oh, pardon my manners. Nice to meet you, I am the owner of this house. Otherwise known as Mr.Schuyler, otherwise known as Phillip Schuyler."

You took his hand and gave a firm shake. "Pleasure to meet you sir. I am Y/N L/N." You released his hand and he continued to talk to Alex. Noticing you werent needed in the conversation, you excused yourself.

The food table caught your eye, and you swiftly wemt over to it. "Oh yes!" You muttered happily. Picking out some sort of good looking, foreign choclate you tried it. You quickly grabbed a plate.

"Good, arent they?" You jumped, turning to look at a girl next to you. She giggled. "Oh, I am so sorry. I didnt mean to startle you." You flushed. "No, its fine. I am Y/N L/N." You grabbed her hand and gave a small peck. She smiled widely. "I am Peggy Schuyler." She too grabbed a sweet and ate it happily. 'Hm. I never thought someone would be able to pull off the color yellow'.

"I know we have never met, so who are you here with?" You nodded your head towards Alex. "I came with Alexander Hamilton." Peggy raised a brow. "Alex? I didnt know he had many friends." You chuckled at her blunt comment. "Oh?" Peggy blushed. "Well, its just that he never really talks to anyone. Sure he will come around here sometimes, and he has his three other friends. But he usually doesnt try to meet anyone new. Unless its politically good for him."

Knowing that Alex has been so kind to you made you swell with pride. Peggy popped one more sweet into her mouth. "Well, I dont want to keep you from the party! Please, go and dance. No one here bites." She glanced over her shoulder. "Well, maybe Angelica might. Oh! You should come meet my sisters. They would love you!"

"Alright." You let Peggy lead you through the crowd of people. "Eliza! Angelica!" Peggy and yourself broke through the crowd. Two girls in a blue and pink dress turned. The girl in the blue dress spoke first. "Peggy, who is this?" The girls kind gaze made you feel warm inside. "Hello. I am Y/N L/N." You bowed to them both. "Nice to meet you. I am Eliza and this is my sister Angelica. And I see you have already met Peggy." You smiled at them both.

Angelica reminded you of Alexander. She seemed to be studying you, calculating every move you made. She finally spoke. "Hello, nice to meet you. I saw you walk in with Alexander, are you two political aquaintances?" You shook your head. "No. Alexander and I are just aqquaintences. I am not that political."

Angelica nodded. "Oh, Alexander is here?" Eliza looked around. 'Why is she so...eager?' The bright look in her eyes at the mention of Alex now bugged you. Confused you started to question why you were feeling this way. Angry at your emotions, you repressed any action that may come off as rude. "Um yes. He is here. Why, would you like me to fetch him for you?" Eliza's blush was not very subtle. "Oh no, it is fine. I will...see him later." Her eyes were still too bright. It was obviously she was infatuated with Alex, painfully obvious. You found that you couldnt stand to be in her presence any longer, so you excused yourself.

You took a brisk walk back to the food table. 'Ugh I was such a fool to come to a party. I knew this wouldnt be fun. Just awkward and lonely.' "So how are you enjoying yourself?" Alexander had his own plate and was munching on some sort of cheese. "Oh, it's all very fun!" you lied. Alexander didn't pick up on your lie "Good! I knew it would be a good idea taking you." You smiled and nodded. Eliza's words were nagging in the back of your mind. "Erm, Alex I believe there is a girl here that needs your attention." Alexander gave a playful eyebrow arch. "Oh? Well then by all means let me see this girl." Slightly regretting you had even spoken a word, you led Alex back over to the Schuyler sisters. You tapped on Peggy's shoulder. "Hello again, I have a friend with me this time." The rest of the sisters saw Alexander and suddenly became elated. "Alexander! Hello, I am so glad you could make it." Eliza smiled and offered her hand to Alexander. He gracefully kissed her hand and smiled. "I am glad I was able to come."

The girl's all surrounded us and began conversation. You sort of zoned out of it, thoughrouly uninterested. Alex and Eliza seemed to be hitting it off well. Peggy was happily chatting and Angelica was trying to bring up a political topic with Alex. Your gaze began to drift over to the dance floor. 'What would it be like to dance with Alex' The sudden odd question your brain made up made your face hot with embaressment and perplexment. However, you indugled in the idea. 'Would he lead, or would I? How odd would that be? Where would you place your hands?' You almost began to laugh. The idea was so odd, but you delighted in the thought of it all. "...what about you, Y/N?" Peggy turned to you. You snapped back to attention, realising they were all looking at you. You cleared your throat. "O-oh, um yes. I say that's alright." Peggy smiled. "Perfect! Alexander, you dance with Eliza and I will go with Y/N." 'Did she just say dance? ' Before you could backpeddle your way out of the situation, you were whisked unto the dancefloor.

Fear started to seize your throat. "I am not a skilled dancer, and I don't-" Peggy sighed and placed your hands. "Oh you will be fine!" You heard Alex laugh. "Come on Y/N, it is easy!" Alexander and Eliza were already dancing, spinning around eachother gleefully. Steeling yourself you began to move your feet. Peggy spun under your arm with a delighted cry. "Yes! Thats wonderful!" Gaining confidence you began to do bolder moves. You noticed Alexander looking at you, 'lets see what he thinks of this ' . You picked up Peggy and twirled her in the air, then danced around eachother once you had set her back down. Alexander geniunely smiled as if to say, 'ok, you are on '. You both began to try and out-do eachother, finding fun in the game. Sounds of clapping and laughter started to fill your ears. You suddnely realized that a crowd had gathered to watch the display you, Alex and the girls were putting on. "Seems like we have a crowd." You chuckled to Peggy. She giggled. "I suppose." Peggy turned her head and winked at her sister. Before you could question anything the girls both ran to eachother and began to dance, twirling you and Alex into eachother.

The crowd burst with laughter. Your face flushed and laughed. "Hello there." You went to pull away but Alex's gip tightened. He noticed your confusion. "Lets just give the crowd what they want." Your heart fluttered. You both began to dance. It was supposed to be silly, but you were finding this anything but that. Alex trained his eyes on you, only looking around at the crowd to laugh at this silly joke. This was a joke...right? The way he looked at you with sincerity and intensity...you had to look away. "Ha this is amusing isnt it?" You tried to lighten the mood between you two. Alexander geniuenly smiled "Yes. I suppose." You had seen him put on many faces and smiles for other people. But he only really smiled to you. The thought was terrifyingly wonerful to you. His hands felt sort of rough on you, but you didnt mind.

Then it was all over. Alexander stepped away and bowed, the crowd laughing and clapping. You bowed awkwardly, your head still a little dizzy. Your heart felt as if it we're about to burst with...you weren't sure. Adrenaline? "That was fun!" Eliza put a hand to her chest and gave a sigh of delight. I nodded. "Yes, very fun!" Everytime you tried to look at Alexander, he already seemed to be looking at you. Your cheeks were warm with embaressment. 'I have to get out of here.' "I am sorry friends but I do not feel so good." They all turned and frowned at me. "Oh i'm sorry Y/N. Are you going home?" You avoided Alexander's eyes and nodded. "Yes." "Oh come on, maybe loosen up your collar and you'll feel better. Stay!"

You looked at him and frowned. "I am sorry, but I really do not feel well. Till next time. Thank you for the party." You bowed and made for the exit. The farther away you got, the better you began to feel. You had just surpassed the large French doors when you heard your name. You turned to see Alexander running towards you. Your stomach dropped to your feet. Alexander smiled. "Did you think I would just let you go home all by yourself when you are sick?"

You didn't respond and only smiled jokingly. "I can manage." Alexander did not listen and started to walk with you. 'This man...' You both walked in comfterable yet uncomfterable silence. 'How does he mess with my emotions and head like this? Witchcraft?' You spotted the carrige you both took here and felt reliefe. "Ah there it is. I will just have him drive me home and then he can come back for you-." "No, I'm going to ride home with you." Alexander went to open the carriage door but you put your hand out and closed the door. "No you aren't. I am fine enough to ride home, really." Alexander opened the door. "I am going." You pushed past him and stood in the entrance. "No you are not.". You couldn't let him ride with you. He was making you confused.

Alexander stepped up face to face with you. "What will you do about it?" He was so close to you that his breath could hit your face. All of a sudden you couldn't focus. He was too close. It was like alcohol, a drug. Like a toxic something that when you got too close to it your brain would go haywire. You blinked rapidly and looked away. "I'm going home. Good night Alexander."

You shut the door and leaned up to tell the driver to leave quickly. He obeyed and you closed your eyes and leaned back. You didn't know what to think right then. What to say. The way he made you feel...it was very strong and something you didn't know. Something new. Something deadly and scary.

You turned to the window and started out, looking for an answer. Any answer to explain this. Thinking hard you gasped at a realization. You had wanted him to kiss you....
