Chapter 1: Roommates
Alexander's POV
I never thought I'd be standing here, right in front of Kings College. Everything looks so perfect, even better than what I had imagined. I suppose I should go get my schedule and everything. There's no use in standing in front anymore, besides, people are starting to stare. I start walking towards the front desk, and notice that everyone here is probably rich, scholarship, or lucky to be here. I'm here by scholarship, and I'm so happy about it, too! I just realized, I'm standing in the hallway, just staring like a complete idiot. I awkwardly make my way over to the front desk, hoping that I wouldn't be much of a surprise. "May I help you?" She asked. I could tell off the bat that she was going to be a polite person throughout college, if she didn't get cut, which would be a shame. "Yes, I'm looking for my schedule and everything?" She did some typing on her computer. "May I have a name?" She asked. "Alexander Hamilton." I replied. She continued to type onto her computer. She pulled out a few papers from her drawers, and handed them to me. "Here you go, sir! Have a wonderful day!" She said, looking back at her computer. "Thanks, you too." I replied while looking at the papers she had given me. Room 1738...I thought. I made my way to my room, reviewing over my schedule. I had finally gotten there after about 5 minutes. I pulled out the key that had been in the mix of papers and put it in the lock. It won't open...maybe I'm turning it the wrong way? Turns out I was. I turned it the other way, and the door opened without ease. I looked around, observing everything that could be looked at. "Oh, you must be my roommate!" A man said from behind me. Startled, I turned around and smiled awkwardly at him. "Sorry if I scared you! I'm John Laurens." He apologized. I immediately picked up on his features. Curly, long hair. Light freckles dotted everywhere. Light brown eyes that reflected in the light, and a smile that could light up a whole room. I could feel my cheeks heat up slightly, but brushed it off as just being awkward. "I'm Alexander Hamilton." I said, sticking out my hand for him to shake. We ended up setting up a schedule on everything. I didn't mind what we had set up, and everything seemed fine.
Laurens' POV
I think this guy seems cool. Definitely a little nervous, but pretty cool. "Say, do you wanna come meet my friends?" I asked him, he seemed lonely, like he hadn't interacted with an actual human being before. "Sure!" He said eagerly. On the way there we ended up giving eachother our phone numbers. I added him to the group chat.

3pintsofsamadams: I'll tell you at Schuyler's dorm
Me and Alex'a phone continued to buzz, and we ended up laughing the whole way there. When we got to Schuyler's dorm, everyone was there. "Meet Alexander!" I said to everyone. It was a mix of "hi"'s and "omg"'s. "You start off Herc, and we'll go counter clockwise. "I'm Hercules Mulligan." "I'm Laffayete, mon ami." "I'm Angelica." "I'm Eliza." "anD IM PEGGY!!!"
He seemed pretty okay with everyone. I think he was a little struck with Peggy's loud and charismatic voice, but he seemed pretty happy, to be honest. We decided that we'd all get coffee at a local cafe tomorrow, and we said our goodbyes and headed back to our dorm. "Hey, you seem a bit nervous, you okay?" I asked. "Oh, yeah, it's just been awhile since I've had actual friends." He replied. "Oh...do you wanna talk about it?" He seemed a little down at the thought of it. He shook his head.
Once we got back to our dorm, he started unpacking. He went to the bedroom to probably set up something. Seeing as I've already unpacked, I lied on the couch and flicked on the television. "Blah blah blah blah blah food, blah blah blah blah light switch, blah blah blah-" Was all I heard, I flicked through the channels and found something I was pleased with. I ended up falling asleep.
Alex's POV
I finished unpacking and found John asleep on the couch. I smiled to myself, feeling very happy inside. The way he looked was so cute. God he's so c- stop it, Alex. You just me him, you don't have a crush on him. I looked at my phone clock and realized it was about 8 at night. I figured I would browse tumblr and maybe write a little bit. I did that til about midnight or so and decided to sleep.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! I hope you all like it so far. Keep in mind, I will hardly update this, but I do enjoy writing it!! So uh...yeah, bye!
