Alex's POV

(Short time skip to a few days later from previous chapter)

I was sitting in my room currently on my laptop. I had been skipping business class but I was still going to all my other classes. I wondered how long I could keep this up for. It would really start affecting my grade but I really didn't want to face him again. 

Lost in thought, I snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed that I got an email.

Thomas' POV

(Time skip to the next day)

I walked into my buisseness class with Mr. Hamilton. Alex hasn't been going to this class, at first I thought it was because of me but now I'm not sure. I'm in all of his other classes so why would he just avoid one class because I'm in it. It doesn't make sense, none of this makes sense!

I was so busy thinking about Alex that I didn't even realise that class was over.

"Mr. Jefferson?" Mr. Hamilton questioned, "class is over." He informed.

"Oh, uh, yeah, right, sorry.. heh. I'll be going now." I stuttered awkwardly.

I got up, grabbing my stuff I then started walking out, but before I got out the door Mr. Hamilton stopped me.

"Wait.. Thomas.. you know my son right? Alexander Hamilton, you share a dorm with him."

Before I could respond he continued.

"Its been years since I last saw him and he won't talk to me. I was hoping you could talk to him."

"Uh.. I-I'd love to.. b-but Alexander and I aren't really on good t-terms right now.. I don't think he would listen to me." I stuttered again.

I could feel his sharp eyes glare at me slightly. The look seemed to pierce through my skin. And though it was only for a quick moment he had this glare, it sent shivers down my spine and it felt as though his glare lasted forever. He narrowed his eyes and put a strong firm hand on my shoulder, almost in a threatening way.

"I completely understand but could you at least try? I would be ever so grateful." Mr. Hamilton replied.

And just like that his glare was gone and as soon as his hand left my shoulder and traces down my arm then left my body alone completely, it seemed as though my body regained it's heat and I could move and breathe again.

"I'll try, sir.." I stated, nervously, as Mr. Hamilton and I locked eyes and I could see his smirk form from the bottom of my vision once we did. I quickly looked down and started walking away assuming that was all. And since he did not say anything more as I walked away, I assumed that I was right. As I walked to my next class, my mind wandered, as it usually did.

I don't know if I trust Alex around that guy...
I know he's Alex's dad and all, but why would Alex be avoiding him if Alex didn't have a reason to?
And it must be a pretty damn good reason too if Alex is willing to skip class because of it!
I mean, have you seen that kid?! All he does is work!
I wonder if he even sleeps or eats or drinks..
The only thing I've ever seen him drink is coffee!
Oh my God! If Alex is sleep deprived and starved and dies, I'll never forgive myself!
When I get back to the dorm I need to sort things out with Alex and take care of my lil bby boi!
Wtf did I just say in my mind..?

After a few more classes it was lunch time. I got my food and sat down with my friends.

"So, what's up with you and Maria? I mean come on, be honest, that didn't actually happen, right?" King asked James Reynolds.

"Hey! Look who's here Thomas! Just at the right time!" Reynolds exclaimed, "we were all starting to worry! Anyway, what's new with you?" Reynolds asked, to try to change the subject from him to me.

"Nothing much. Hey, have you guys noticed anything weird or strange about that Mr. Hamilton guy in our Business class?" I asked.

"What kind of strange?" Charles Lee asked.

"I mean, he has the same last name as Alexander and that other teacher. That's kind of weird I guess. Do you think they're all related or something?" James Madison suggested.

"Mmm.. I'm not sure about the other teacher but I already know that Alex and Mr. Hamilton are related."

"Oooo, nickname bases now~?" John Jay teased.

My face started turning a little red but I forced it away and glared at him.

John Adams then whispered something in John Jays ear, Adams laughed a bit and Jay laughed a bit as well while nodding.

"You guys do realize I can see you, right?" I stated, raising an eyebrow.

Adams just rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, speaking of Alexander Hamilton, how is it sharing a dorm with him? Must be exhausting." King asked.

"It's actually-" I started, but Madison cut me off.

"Wait, what?! You share a dorm with him?!" He yelled.

Everyone in the cafeteria stopped eating and looked at us. This stayed like that for a little until Madison yelled at them.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?!" He yelled, glaring at all of them, and they went back to eating.

I stared at him in shock, as did everyone else at the table. James is never like this.. he's usually sweet and inoccent. I don't think I've ever heard him yell in all the years that I've known him. Why the sudden change? And just at the mention of Alex living with me.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" He yelled, now quieter.

"I didn't see any point, we're just roommates. It's not my fault he was chosen as my dorm partner. I don't see why you're getting so upset about this." I stated, crossing my arms and raising an eyebrow at him.

"Hey, uh, don't know if you guys realize this, probably not because you were too busy arguing, but people are kind of trying to eat here! So if you don't mind.. go away." King said to us.

Madison, who was already standing up from the first time he yelled, pushed his chair more back hastily. Storming over to me, grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the cafeteria, outside.

Alex's POV

"Wait what?! You share a dorm with him?!" I hear someone yell. They sound familiar. I look over to where the sound was coming from and see James Madison yelling at Jefferson.

What's he getting mad at Jefferson about?
Wait, are they talking about me..?

I continue staring at them as well as the rest of the cafeteria as it got extremely quiet.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL LOOKING AT?!" Madison yelled and everyone went back to talking and eating.

Except me, I continued watching. I see George King talk to them, seemingly sassily, then Madison grabbed Jefferson's hand and started walking away. I looked at Madison and Jefferson's hands and jealousy filly my body and my blood boils. I felt a mixture of anger, jealousy, anxiety and sadness fill me. Though I wasn't sure why, I knew that I was about to cry (Hey that rhymed!). But I wanted to know what they were talking about.

"Excuse me for a second." I told everyone at my table, Laurens, Lafayette, Mulligan, Angelica, Eliza, Maria, Sally and Peggy, without looking at them, I got up and started walking towards where they went.

"Wait, where are you going?" I heard Eliza ask from behind me, but I ignored her. Everyone agreed with the question by saying "yeah".

"Alex?" John questioned when I didn't answer. But I was already halfway across the cafeteria by then.

I followed where Madison and Jefferson had dissapeared to and when I got outside and saw them I hid. I didn't have to cry anymore, which I was grateful for. I listened to their conversation without them knowing. I know it's wrong but I really needed to know.. well probably not, but at the time it felt like I did.

Third person POV

"Why are you getting so upset?! It's not like I did anything!" Jefferson stated.

"Well why didn't you tell me you were roommates with Hamilton?! I thought we were friends!" Madison yelled, hurt.

"Umm, I didn't think it was that important of information! Sorry!" Jefferson yelled back, sarcastically.

"Well, it would explain why you never stop talking about him and that you're soooo in love with him!" Madison yelled, angrily.

"What the actual fuck are you talking about?! I do not love that... that.. Hamilfag! I don't give one shit about him!" Jefferson yelled back.

Though it was a lie, only Thomas knew that. Alexander did not, therefore was very hurt by this. Though he did not know why. Alex started tearing up but refused to cry (I did it again) and continued listening.

Madison didn't say anything, so Jefferson didn't say anything.

"Why would you think that I love Hamilfag?" Thomas asked, not yelling anymore.

The nickname stung Alex like a knife to his neck.

"I don't know... It's just that, that's all you talk about anymore, Hamilton this, Alexander that. We don't spend as much time together anymore and I love you and really really like you and yeah." James slipped in the last bit as a confession to Thomas.

A few tears fell down Alex's face as he froze. Staring at Jefferson, waiting for an answer.

Jefferson was shocked by this. How could he have not realized this sooner? He doesn't love James, he loves Alex. But then it hit him. Alex doesn't love him. James does. What's the point of going for someone that you have no chance with?

"James.. I.. I love you too." Thomas replied.

Madison's face lit up and he jumped up and hugged Thomas, and they shared a few second kiss.

Alex's POV

I couldn't help it. Just when I was starting to figure out my feelings for Thomas and except them. This happens. I don't care anymore, I dont care about anything. I started full on crying I got up and ran. I heard Thomas call my name from behind but I didn't care. Neither does he.

It's not like he's coming for me...
He doesn't care...
Nobody does...
Just leave me alone...
Why do I even bother trying...?
I... just.......... wan..t........t..o.....be......a....lone.............

As my thoughts began to trail off my brain began to shut down. I suddenly felt very weak.

And suddenly I collapsed...

Hehe, ima leave you all on a cliffhanger! Sorry I haven't been posting a lot recently! But here you go! A decently long chapter! I'll try harder, I know I said that last chapter but... hehe. I'll try. You have no idea how many of those quotes at the top I have. I could make a whole book on each and every one of them and tell you all how they are relatable to me.
