The Date

Eliza's POV:

Eliza was in full panic mode

"Angie! Did we clean the living room? Do we have popcorn? How's my hair?" She fretted

"Eliza you need to calm down, it's just a date" Angelica said

"I know, that's why I'm scared!" Eliza sunk to the floor, a pile of nerves

"what if we don't know what to talk about?" Eliza whimpered "what if he doesn't like me the way I like him?"

"Eliza he agreed to the date, he likes you" Angelica said, sitting down next to her sister "And I promise, if he breaks your little cinnamon roll heart I will yell at him like there's no tomorrow"

Eliza smiled at Angelica. Then the doorbell rang. Eliza took a deep breath and opened the door

"Hi Alex!" Eliza said to Alex, the sight of his nervous smile melting all nerves "come in!"

They walked over to the couch

"What do you want to watch?" Alex asked 

"I'm not sure" Eliza said "I heard there's this musical that was turned into a movie that just came out, I think it was called like Miranda or something, about that treasury secretary founding father dude, we could watch that"

"That sounds fun!" Alex said "history's a fun class, and singing is fun! Let's do it"

~two and a half hours later~

Eliza and Alex had started snuggling on the couch for moral support

Eliza blinked away some tears "I was not expecting that to be so emotional"

"I know" Alex said

Then they noticed they were snuggling and quickly broke apart, blushing like crazy

Eliza fiddled with her soulmate necklace again, Alex noticed

"Your soulmate necklace?" Alex asked

Eliza nodded "I fidget with it sometimes, kind of a nervous habit"

"What's yours look like?" Alex asked "Mines half of a teal heart"

Eliza gasped, it was the same as hers, she quickly changed to topic "So um, that was a good movie"

"Uh y-yeah" Alex said "I should probably head home, but I had a wonderful time, maybe we could hang out again sometime?"

Eliza smiled "I'd like that"

"Lunch next weekend?" Alex asked

"Lunch next weekend"

After Alex had left, Eliza made some strange combination of a happy squeal and a laugh

"That was amazing!" Eliza said "Alex is amazing!"

She danced around the room, skipping and twirling

Angelica walked in and smiled at her sister "boy your helpless" she laughed

"I think I'm in love!" Eliza squealed

She then noticed what she had said "oh my god I'm in love!?"

"You heard about his soulmate necklace, same as yours~" Angelica teased

"Wait you heard that?" Eliza asked

"Peggy and I were watching" Angelica said

"I like romance! Plus that movie sounded good" Peggy said, appearing seemingly out of nowhere 

Eliza blushed "do you think-?"

"I think" Angelica smiled
