Alex stepped out of the plane, steadying himself on the black concrete. He slung his small backpack onto his shoulder and walked with the crowd towards the main airport.

Alex waited with his blue rolling suit case for his ride. A guide from the college was supposed to come pick him up, a sophomore, they had said. He smiled sadly, thinking about how happy his mother would've been to know that he was finally in the big city; New York City! He shifted his weight anxiously, scanning the area for his guide.

"Oh god...what if they forgot about me? What if they forgot to send a guide and I'm trapped in this airport forever??" Alex hysterically mumbled under his breath. Not only did he barely have any money in the first place,  he also didn't have the correct currency. He would be totally screwed if he was stuck here-

"Hi! Are you...Alexander Hamilton?" Alex turned to see a young man. He had light brown, unbelievably curly hair. Tiny freckles were sprayed all across his facial features and his lips were a light pinkish color. Alexander nervously smiled.

"Uh, yeah! You can call me Alex." The boy smiled and nodded, looking at a clipboard.

"Cool! My name is John Laurens, I'm your guide from Princeton University!"  Alex nodded and followed John out of the airport. "Heh...We'll have to hail a cab, I don't have a car..." John sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. John walked towards the edge of the curb and whistled loudly, waving his arms. Alex took a step back, clearly confused. Moments later, a yellow taxi cab pulled up beside John.

"John, that was amazing!" Alex said, his eyes shimmering. He skipped happily over to John and slid into the cab.

"Where are you two boys headed?" asked the driver, who's name was Stan according to his registration papers, which were proudly displayed on his dashboard.

"Princeton college, please!" Alex stated proudly. He felt tears creep into his eyes, thinking about his mother, and how far he had actually come, and how he was really in New York. It all felt like a dream.

"Alex? Are you alright?" John asked, clearly concerned. Alex nodded and wiped away his tears. He smiled at John.

"This is going to be a great year."
