(Alex's POV)

I woke up to a knock on the door. My eyes slowly opened. I still felt really tired and didn't feel like getting up. I also felt really comfortable. Too comfortable... But at that moment I didn't really give two shits. I closed my eyes again and snuggled closer to the warmth.

Another knock made me groan in annoyance. That's when my eyes shot open and I finally realized that I was way to comfortable. I felt arms around me and knew that those arms belonged to no other than Thomas Jefferson.

Thomas's eyes fluttered open as well, just to find me starring at him, wide eyed. Our faces were really close to each other. I couldn't help but look at his lips. We started leaning in. The outside was calm but the inside was freaking out. Our lips were about to touch when another knock interrupted us. I quickly got up and walked over to the door.

"Hello?" I basically asked once I opened the door. I looked to see who it was and found John standing there. He looked worried or impatient. I couldn't tell which. But I was confused on why he was here.

"Alex! There you are! We've all been wondering where you are! Did you forget?" He asked. At first I just looked at him confused. Then my eyes went wide and I face palmed myself. I was supposed to meet John and his friends at the park!

"No! I didn't forget! Im just uh, running a little late! That's all! Um, you come in I guess and I'll just go quickly get finished getting ready!" I said quickly. Letting him inside. I ran to my room, grabbing my clothes, just some casual clothing. I got what I needed then ran to the bathroom.

(John's POV)

I could tell that Alexander was not ready at all and totally forgot about meeting my friends. But that's okay. It was kind of funny watching him run around.

After he ran into the bathroom. I was kind of left to just stand there awkwardly. I looked around there dorm. It was mostly the same as all the other dorms. Nothing too exciting. But once my eyes trailed over to the living room area, I saw another pair of narrow eyes looking back at me.

Thomas Jefferson was on the couch, glaring at me. I didn't exactly understand why. Maybe Alex told him about me supposedly "beating" him. Which I never did. But he doesn't know that. (420 watcha smokin')

"Um... hi..?" I said awkwardly to him. He just glared at me. He got up from the couch. At first it looked like he was coming towards me but then he walked past me and towards the kitchen. I couldn't help but shake a little bit. He reminded me of my dad. The way he would glare at me and walk toward me and.... abuse me. But it's weird. Thomas never used to act like that. Usually we would mind our own businesses and stay out of each other's way. But now whenever he sees me he glares at me. It's ever since I started hanging out with Alex.

Alex did explain that they used to be childhood friends. But why would he get defensive of Alexander? It doesn't make sense. Besides, they aren't even friends anymore. Unless something happened in two days.

(Thomas' POV)

I glared at John the whole time. Were they going on a date or something? What was MY Alexander doing with John again?! If this is a date there's no way I'm going to let them go! Nuh uh! No way! It's not fair! Why won't Alexander go on a date with me?! I can already see everything that could happen if they go on a date! It's not pretty... I WILL NOT ALLOW MY ALEXANDER TO GO ON A DATE WITH JOHN LAURENS! ALEXANDER IS MINE AND ONLY MINE! John is officially a threat. And he needs to be eliminated.

Alex came out of the bathroom wearing casual clothes. So now he's trying to hide that he's going on a date by wearing casual clothing?! He's good... But not good enough!

"Hey Alex! Watcha doing?! Where ya goin'?! Can I come with you?!" I asked, bouncing up to him.

Alex looked at John. "Can he come?" He asked.

John looked at me. With a look of a mixture of hesitance, fear, nervousness, and a little bit of disgust. I glared at him and fear overtook his vision before he replaced it with a fake happy smile. "Why not?" He said, indicating that I could come. I was already dressed because of author magic.

(Alex's POV)

"Let's go then!" I said with a smile.

I walked over to the door and opened it, then motioned for Thomas and John to go. They both walked forward at the same time. Then stopped when they realized they both started walking at the same time. I couldn't help but notice that Thomas glared at John.

Thomas walked through the door. Then John. I walked out after them. Closing the door behind me and locking it since nobody else would be there to watch the dorm. You can never be too careful with the cruel people in this world.

We all started walking out of the building. Once we got out of the building John started leading the way, leaving me and Thomas to walk behind him. I had noticed that Thomas was acting weird. So I decided to question him about it.

"What's up with you?" I asked, my voice in a whisper so that John doesn't hear.

"What do you mean?" Thomas asks, not looking in my direction and looking straight (pfffft) forward.

"Well, you're kind of burning holes in the back of John's head right now for one." I replied, crossing my arms. Thomas finally looks at me.

"I-I wasn't! I was just.. spacing out!" He defended.

"Mhm. And I'm sure you were spacing our as well while glaring at John like you're going to murder him, back at the dorm, right?" I said, raising my eye brows (what the Hell are you doing? I'm doing my eye brows. That's a big ass mirror. I have big ass eye brows.)

Thomas just looked away and growled.

"Why are you acting like that?" I asked, glaring at him with frustration, confusion and a hint of worry, though I wasn't quite sure why I was worried. I guess this just wasn't like Thomas. Maybe he's jealous that I have a different friend because it's always just been me and him, before I left that is.

"Acting like what? I'm not acting like anything." Thomas stated. His arms now crossed as well.

"Yes you are! You're being an asshole especially towards John!" I exclaim.

"Why do you care?! Do you like him?! Is he your new boyfriend?! Because if he is, please, tell me and I'll back off!" Thomas yelled, glaring at me angrily. I could tell he didn't realize what he had said yet and I knew that John probably heard at least half of our conversation since we did a bad job at quietly yelling at each other.

I just stared at him in shock. I didn't like John and John didn't like me. I already knew he was into someone else and so was I. But what did he mean by 'he'll back off'?

"What do you mean?" I asked. I know just looked at him confused some of my anger draining out of me.

"Just answer my questions!" He yelled. We had stopped walking now and John was standing awkwardly in the background.

"I care because he's my FRIEND. No I don't like him. And no he is not my boyfriend. There, happy? Now answer my question." I replied.

Thomas's anger seemed to also drain out of him.

"I-I uh..." he looked around and noticed John staring at us awkwardly. As soon as Thomas's eyes went over to John, John looked away. But Thomas's eyes didn't have anger in them when looking at John. In fact he looked a little sorry and still a little shocked. He turned to me again. "C-Can we continue this conversation.. later..?" He asked looking down.

I sighed in annoyance. "Fine." I said anyway. "C'mon John, let's go." I said and began walking with him again. I sighed when Thomas wasn't following. Most likely thinking that he couldn't come anymore. I turned around. "You coming you 6'2 Virginian?" I asked jokingly. He chuckled then started following again.

(Time skip because I'm a lazy author)

When we got to the park I saw a large group of people. They were the only people there so I assumed that they were Johns friends. I was surprised.

"Hey guys! This is Alexander! The person I already told you guys about!" John said.

I didn't recognize any of the faces. Until a familiar face finally emerges from the croud.

"Alex!" She yelled then practically jumped on me.

"Uh, hi Peggy!" I laughed as she got off me.

"I see you two have already met." John said. "Anyways this is-"

"HERCULES MULLIGAN!!" A large darker skinned man with a booming voice yelled. He had a beanie on his head. He wore nice clothes as well. But not as nice as half of Jefferson's clothes. Hercules walked up to me and shook my hand, smiling. Then walked back beside another man that looked a lot like Thomas. The resemblance was kind of scary.

"Okay. And this is-" John started but was once again cut off.

"Bonjour, mon ami. Je m'appelle Lafayette." The man that looks like Thomas said.
(Translation: Hello, my friend. My name is Lafayette.)

"Laf. English. Alex can't understa-" John gets cut off by me.

"salut, je m'appelle Alexandre Hamilton. Cependant, vous le saviez déjà parce que John vous a dit!"
(Hi, my name is Alexander Hamilton. But you already knew that because John told you!)

Everyone seemed shocked that I knew French but I just shrugged. "I know English, French, Spanish, and Dutch." I said casually.

"Anyways. I'm Angelica Schuyler. These are my sister's. Eliza and Peggy. You already know Peggy though it seems!" A girl in a pink shirt says to me. Angelica had long dark brown curly hair. Eliza had long black straight hair. Eliza was wearing blue and Angelica was wearing pink. Peggy was wearing yellow.

"And last but definitely not least. Sally Hemmings and Maria Reynolds!" John introduced. Looking happy to have introduced at least someone.

(I know this isn't what Sally actually looked like but this is how I've always pictured her. Leave me alone.)

Sally had medium length blond hair that curled at the tips. The tips of her hair were also dyed a light pink. She had pale skin and very light blue eyes. Some hair was in front of one of her eyes, due to her overgrown bangs. She looked pretty shy.

Maria had long dark brown hair as well. She looked a bit like Peggy. Except for the fact that she had some makeup on and she had a short red dress on. On the outside she would have probably looked like some slut to most people. But I knew that she wasn't. I didn't know why or how I knew. I just knew she wasn't. It didn't fit her, her mannerisms were different from other sluts. Maria also had a some hair in front of one of her eyes. But I feel like she's hiding something behind it. I shake the feeling away.

Sally waves a bit when John introduces her. But Maria seems to be off in la la land. Peggy snaps her fingers in front of Maria's face and Maria snaps back into reality.

"You were spacing out again Maria!" Peggy exclaimed.

"S-Sorry..." Maria stuttered.

"Peggy, leave her alone." Eliza said, glaring at her younger sister.

Peggy backs off and Maria just looks down.

I start questioning things in my head. But then I realized that Thomas was still here. I turn around to make sure that he's still here. He was still here but he was standing a little farther away. I excuse myself and walk over to him.

"What are you doing over here?" I ask.

"Well, uh, I don't think your new friends like or will like me." Thomas replied.

"Why not?" I question.

"They don't exactly like the friend group that I'm in.. the SMFDR and the RevolutionarySet don't exactly get along that well. We're kind of enemies." Thomas replied.

"The SMF-what?"

"Southern Motherfucking Democratic Republicans." Thomas said, embarrassed.

"Okay then. Well, anyway. I don't think that they'll judge you on what group of friends you hang out with! I'm sure once they get to know you, they'll love you! Platonically. Because if not that would be awkward, especially for me." I rambled. Then realized what I said. "Because you are- er- were my best friend."

Thomas just nodded.

I would call that a good save.

More or less.

I got lazy and just wanted to publish something. In about two chapters, the moment you've all been waiting for will arrive! You probably noticed that the cover is a gun (*cough*foreshadowing*cough*) but I said I was making a cover. Well, I did. But I didn't like it much and it kind of gave away too much of the plot! So me and This_weird_kid decided to make it a gun instead! Besides, it looks WAY better!
