JOHNS POV

Summer camp. Something I was definitely not looking forward to. I looked over to my dad in the drivers seat. He's great. He supports all of us, no matter what.

He changes the music channel and some random pop song blasts through the speakers.

Soon enough we were pulling into a large forest with small signs decorating the road. I caught a small glimpse of one; it read 'Camp Yorktown'. Hmm. Weird name. Anyway, the road was pretty flat and you couldn't see anything other than trees.

Suddenly, out of no where, a horse ran out from the bushes and over the wall. My dad has to swerve the car and we both flew forward almost hitting my face on the dashboard. Just as the horse galloped into the woods three boys came sprinting up and over the wall following the horse.

'Well. That was... interesting.' I heard my dad chuckle. I've been waiting to get away for a while now, maybe take the elevated train to Washington heights or something, I always hear the music coming from that place. It always seems to be alive with the sound of music and smell of coffee. But when we saw the advertisement for summer camp my family thought it'd be good for me.

We pulled into a car park, the camp looked pretty big from here. I saw a boy, probably about my age, he looked deep in thought as I approached him.

"Erm, excuse me, do you know where check in is?" I spoke, as I tried to muster up as much courage as I could.

"Just over there, kid". He said back, acting as if he had anything better to do than talk to me. "I'm John Laurens, and you are?" I said as I stretched my hand out for him to shake. "Aaron Burr." He spat like I was trash. Okay, mental note: don't bother Aaron Burr.

I walked over to the building that Aaron Burr had directed me to. The building was one story, and quite large. I stepped inside, pulling my suitcase around behind me. I approached a desk with a middle age woman sat behind it. 'Martha Washington' her name tag read.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh hello dear! What's your name?" She asked with a soft gentle smile placed on her face. She was sweet. Hopefully all of the staff are like this.

"John Laurens"

"Hmm let me see. Oh! John Laurens, cabin 17. Your roommates are the best, you'll love them."

I sure hope I do. The worst thing would be to get stuck with horrible roommates. At this point I realised I'd been staring into space for a while, and quickly snapped myself back into reality.

"Thank you Mrs Washington"

"Oh please dear, call me Martha."

"Okay, thank you Martha!" I said giving her the biggest smile I could muster.

I walked back out of the reception area and looked all around me. No cabins. Actually nothing at all really. I scan the area around me for someone to ask, only to set eyes on Aaron Burr again. Surely I can't approach him again right? Well, it's the best I've got so I guess I have to.

"Sorry to bother you again Aaro-"

"Cabins are that way." He pointed up a hill whilst staring at his phone screen, not even bothering to look up.

"Oh. Okay then."

With that I set off up the hill, my head still buzzing with questions and worries about my new roommates.

Before I knew it I was standing in front of a cabin with the number 17 carved into the door. Do I knock? Or do I just go in? Wait, I have a key. I press my head against the door to try and hear if my roommates had already arrived. I hear a loud bang and muffled conversation, so yeah they've already arrived. I decide to knock because it would just be weird if I walked in on some weird shit from people I don't know. After a few seconds of shuffling and talking from inside the cabin, a boy, again about my age, opened the door. He was a only slightly shorter than me (but not by much). He had straight brown hair and deep, gorgeous brown eyes. Perfection. He looked as if he was sculpted by the gods.

"Hello?" He said, slowly waving his hand in front of my eyes.

"Oh god, yeah, sorry. I'm John Laurens. Your roommate."

He turned around to face the cabin and screamed "HEY GUYS STOP MAKING OUT WE HAVE A ROOMMATE!".

Two large men came running towards the door, one stood at least a foot above me, he had large poofy hair and was actually quite intimidating. The other. He was huge. I mean, he was the same height as the poofy dude but man... HIS MUSCLES.

"Alexander Hamilton" the first guy said as he stuck out his hand for me to shake.

I quickly shook his hand, and they all stepped aside for me to enter. My suitcase suddenly felt a lot heavier than it originally was. I turned my head to find Alexander sat on my suitcase.

"FORWARD MY GOOD SIR!"

Weird to say but he was so cute. Like his face, his hair, his personality, everything. I started dragging my suitcase forward, along with the adorable boy sat on it. The other two guys just brushed it off, acting like it happens all of the time.

"Oh! John! These two are Hercules Mulligan and Lafayette!" He gestured to the two guys who were now sitting on the bottom bunk of one of the beds.

"Yo." Hercules said.

"Bonjour!" Lafayette waved.

They all seem cool. Hercules and Lafayette are really close from what I can tell. Maybe they're dating. I sure hope so. I mean that way I wouldn't be the only gay one!

I turn around and look back at Alexander. He falls back off the suitcase and rolls around on the floor laughing. I don't understand what's so funny but I don't really care because his laugh is ADORABLE.

"You okay there Alex?" I ask, chuckling slightly to myself at the mess of a boy I'm standing over.

"Don't worry about him, his sense of humour is dead". Hercules states.

"I- I JUST FELL OFF THE SUITCASE. AND I'M TEACHING KIDS TO RIDE HORSES WHEN I CAN'T EVEN SIT ON A SUITCASE" Alex spat out in between laughing and gasping for breath. He even had tears rolling down his cheeks at this point.

After another minute or two of Alex laughing on the floor he stood up and was still occasionally laughing in between words. "Oh yeah! This is your bunk, mine is above- so if you need anything just throw something at one of them or just shout me".

"Oh. And if you need to fart, please don't direct it towards me but please do it towards those two idiots."

Seems these three are already pretty close. I like them. They seem to take a joke and have a pretty good group dynamic. Maybe I could join them? Wait now it sounds like they're a cult.

"OHMYGODJOHNYOUNEEDTOMEETTHESCHUYLERSANDMARIATHEYREGONNALOVEYOU!" Alex said as if he held it in any longer he would've exploded.

"Slower, Alexander. I couldn't understand a word of that" I laughed.

"Okay. So we have a group and we're called the revolution. It consists of: me, Herc, Laf, the Schuylers and Maria. You really need to meet them. They're gonna love you so much!"

"Oh yeah sur-" By the time I could finish my sentence Alex has grabbed my hand and was pulling me out the door towards the other cabins.

Alex pulled his phone out and began looking through his contacts, to press one called Peggy (from what I could see).

"Hey Pegs! I'm just outside the Barricade if you guys are here yet". After another few moments of silence Alex punched the air and smiled like someone had just told him he'd won the lottery. He's so cute. Like just imagine being able to call him mine. UGH JOHN STOP TOO FAST.

Alex pulled me back inside the cabin and screamed to Laf and Herc "THE REVOLUTION IS COMING". The two boys both looked up at the same time and smiled at each other. "Hey Alex? I was just wondering like who are these people and why do you guys want them to meet me?" I asked, genuinely confused as to why he wanted me to meet these people if I was just their roommate. "BECAUSE YOU'RE PART OF THE REVOLUTION JOHN!" Oh wow. He sure claimed me fast. Not that I'm complaining or anything, I am so happy that I get to be associated with Alex and the others, I just always thought that it would be harder to make friends at camp.

Suddenly someone kicked the door and it flew open with a huge bang, no one seemed to flinch at all- once again acting as if it were normal.

"Well if it isn't the king of Camp Yorktown." A tall girl in a pink off the shoulder top said. She wore black ripped jeans, her hair in a bun and very minimal makeup. She seemed very confident. I admire that. How some people can just project themselves without second guessing it. "Angelica!" Alex shook her hand.

"Alex!" Another girl exclaimed as she threw herself onto Alex and embraced him tightly. "Eliza!" He said back. She had dark hair, light skin and wore a blue crop top with light blue jeans. For some reason she made me feel a little bit jealous. I don't have anything to be jealous of but still.

(OH MY DEAR JOHN, KEEP TELLING YOURSELF THAT)

"ALEX! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH! YOU NEED TO TAKE ME TO SEE USNAVI!" A shorter girl proclaimed, she wore a yellow long sleeve top with black ripped jeans. She seemed nice. Maybe I can be friends with her.

"Pegs I missed you too! I'll take you to see Usnavi later, he's still recovering from the fall we had a few weeks ago."

"OH MY GOD IS HE OKAY PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HE'S GONNA DIE! ALEX IF YOU KILLED HIM I'M GONNA STRANGLE YOU RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW." Peggy screamed.

"Woah! Pegs, calm down. Usnavi is fine and is here on camp. We'll go see him later, I promise." Alex assured her.

"Who's Usnavi?" I questioned. Wrong move John. Now all of the three girls were staring at me.

"Oh yeah. Guys, this is John Laurens. He's our new roommate and newest member of the revolution." Alex said whilst gesturing at me.

Peggy suddenly threw her self at me and hugged me tightly. "OH I LIKE YOU WE'RE MEANT TO BE." She shouted. Oh no. I'm gay as fuck. Oh no what am I going to do. THINK JOHN THINK.

"Erm, I mean I don't exactly swing that way if you get what I mean..." Oh great job John now you're just sounding sad and pathetic.

"OH. No not like that silly! I'm Peggy, as you have probably gathered, I like yellow, Usnavi, girls and anything happy really." Wow. That's a lot. So she's lesbian I'm assuming? Pan? Bi? Who cares- SHES COOL.

"You guys still haven't answered my question as to who Usnavi is. Is he another member of the revolution?"

"Well yeah, he is but like he can't talk. But he's a very important member."

(You'll understand later about Usnavi.)

"So he's a dude? Well can I meet him?"

"Erm you can probably meet him later on right Alex? We can go see him? Pleaseeeeee?" Peggy begged.

"Okay! Okay! We'll go see him later but you have to keep your cool and give him his space." Alex agreed.

"YES!" Peggy exclaimed.

"Hey where's Maria?" Angelica asked.

"UGH DO I HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN?!" Alex asked whilst leaning his head on my shoulder. OH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO I CAN ALREADY FEEL MYSELF HEATING UP WHAT DO I DO?!

"Hmm. Maybe she went into the forest? She's only been gone for a few minutes." Eliza stated.

"You know what if she's upset for the same reason as last year I'm gonna beat Reynolds' ass." Alex grunted. Man he mustn't like this Reynolds guy.

"I'll go grab Lucifer, I'll take him into the woods, we could use a good run anyways." Alex said, shutting the door.
