Hey guys. So before I begin this chapter, I just wanted to let you know of a few things. Firstly, the point of view will change but it will say when it does. Second, thoughts will be of the character of whom the point of view is highlighting. They will be in italics. Third, I tend to type long paragraphs, so my apologies. Let me know if you want them shortened or if they are fine. Thank you. -S

I walked up the street a few blocks like Burr said. Who does that guy think he is?! He was right, when I got to the corner, there was a huge sign for Colombia University. This is it, my new life begins. I walked underneath it and looked around the main entrance. This campus is HUGE!!! I glanced around and spotted the campus office. I opened the door to find a lady sitting behind a desk, typing away at a computer. "Excuse me ma'am, do you know how I can find my dorm assignment?" I asked politely. "Name?" "Alexander Hamilton." I keep my answer short and to the point like Burr said. "You have building C4 Left Wing Room 1776." she said shortly. She handed me a piece of paper with the instructions she gave me and my schedule for my classes and of course, my room key. I went back outside and tried to figure out where I needed to go. "Let's see, building C3 is right there so building C4 should be... AHA!" I said quietly to myself. I had found building C4 with no huge problems. Inside I saw an elevator and flights of stairs. Should I take the stairs or the elevator? I don't really know what floor to go on, so maybe I should take the stairs. I don't have that much luggage anyway. After careful debate, I decided to take the stairs. Lifting my small bag, I went up the first three flights of stairs. Checking the numbers of the rooms, I thought this was my floor. Let's see, Room 1773, 1774, 1775, oh here it is, 1776. I took out the key the lady had given me and opened the door. Inside I found tall, curly haired, freckled man sitting on one of the beds in the room. His side was already decorated. When I walked in, he turned to look at me. Only then did a get a good look at his face. He had eyes that were as blue as the sky. "Oh hi!" said the boy. "You must be my new roommate. My name is John Laurens." John put out his hand for me to shake. "Hi." Oh God, he is so cute... "My name is Alexander Hamilton. But please, call me Alex." I shook his hand. I think I'm fallen in love with someone who could never love me.

John's POV

It's my first day at Colombia University and I already met THE cutest guy I will probably ever see. Though, someone with his posture must be straight or everything I've seen and read will not make any sense. I act casual when I introduce myself, but really I'm internally screaming at myself not to do something stupid in front of him. "What did you come to Colombia for?" I asked him as he unpacked his one small bag. "I came for law school." "So you are planning to be a lawyer?" I asked. "Yep. What about you?" Alex's eyes shined with curiosity as he asked me what I was studying. "Well, I'm studying Marine Biology. I love Marine animals, especially turtles, in case you hadn't noticed." I indicated at all the Turtle things on my side of the room. Alex seems to be a man of many words, but he hasn't really said much. "Hey, have you met someone named Aaron Burr?" If he had, this would explain when he's answering so shortly. Otherwise, I just wasted my breath. "Yes, yes I have. He seemed, uh, different." That's Burr for ya. Scaring the new kid before classes even begin. "Burr can be intimidating, but you'll get used to him eventually." I encouraged. "If you say so," His bag was pitifully small. I do wonder what his past was like. Of course, if he wanted to talk about it, he would. Right? Alex took out his computer and sat with it on the bed. Then he began typing some sort of essay. How does he have homework when school hasn't begun yet? I shrugged, not really thinking much of it. I took out my phone and texted Laf and Herc.

Turtle_Boi: Hey guys!

Pants Maker: what up johnny boy

French_Baguette: you wanna come by and watch a movie?

Turtle_Boi: Sure. I was going to die out of boredom. Be there in a few.

I put away my phone again and grabbed my wallet and dorm key. "Alex, I'm going by a friend's dorm. You can come if you want."

"Sure. I'll come." Alex replied. He saved his Word document and shut his computer. He plugged it into the wall and grabbed his old phone. "Lead the way." He said kindly. I nodded and went out into the hall. They said their room was number 1777 so it should be... Turns out they were right next door. I knocked on the door and it was opened instantly by Herc.

"You brought the new kid!" Herc yelled.

"Yes, I wanted him to meet you two." I explained. Herc nodded and put out his hand to Alex.

"The name's Hercules Mulligan. " Herc introduced. Laf had come up behind him.

"And I am Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. But just call me Laf." Laf said. He pushed past Herc and pulled the two of us inside. "What movie would you guys like to see. Herc seems to have every Disney movie."

"NO!" objected Herc. "I am still missing a few classics." We ended up watching The Lion King. Alex was muttering about how it was so much like Hamlet. In the end, I think he enjoyed it.

"Thank you for bringing me. I have never watched a movie before." Alex told me after we left.

"Really? Well then I'm glad I brought you." I said as I unlocked the dorm door. Alex immediately went to his bed and fell asleep. I looked at the clock and it read '11:47'. No wonder he's tired. I changed into some sweatpants and decided to sleep without a shirt. "G'night Alex," I said before I fell into a comfortable sleep.

Finally finished the first chapter. It took me longer than I thought. Please comment any grammar or spelling errors so I know what to correct next time. Thanks for reading this and putting up with me. 😁 -S

Edit: Why did you write like this old me?!? NGHHHHHH!
