Laurens I like you a lot

Chapter 1

John POV

I take a deep breath as I step into Kings College. Today's my first day. I always used to be excited for college, I thought that it would be amazing, I wouldn't have to live with my dad, I wouldn't get bullied like I did in high school, but then I didn't get into Princeton, or NYU, or Yale, or any of the art schools I applied for, so of course that meant my only option was to accept the offer from Kings.

The same college most people who I went to high school with are going to. The same college my dad left a reputation at. Which means things will be no different. I'll be insulted, beat up, and I'll still have a reminder of my dad.

I go to the front office and collect everything I need. I look at my room number and find my way to my room, pulling my hat down so it was harder to see my eyes. I unlock the door to my dorm and see a man sitting at one of the desks. He had dark greasy hair that was just above his shoulders, he hadnabout 3 empty coffee cups on his desk and he was typing fast on his laptop with his eyes glued to the screen, because of that I couldn't get a good look at his face but he was wearing ripped jeans and an oversized hoodie.

"Um hey, I'm John laurens.. I'm your new roommate" I say awkwardly, he doesn't look at all familiar so that means I have a bit of time before someone talks to him snd he hates me or I fuck up and he hates me.

The boy looked up from his laptop and over to me, he was attractive there's no doubt about that, he has these adorable eyes, although its obvious how tired he is by the bags under his eyes. He gives me a small smile and stands up "I'm Alexander Hamilton, but everyone just calls me Alex" he says still smiling.

"It's good to meet you, uh where should I put my stuff?" I ask as I look around the room. It's a fairly large room, there's a couch and tv, a small kitchen area 2 nexts, a closet and 2 beds.

"Oh right, so this is your bed" Alex gestures to one of the beds "we only get one closet between the 2 of us but it's got 2 sides to it so you can have the other side. Uh your desks over there, the bathrooms over there and yeah that's Pretty much it" he explains.

I nod and put my stuff down and start unpacking, I open the closet door and see a bisexual pride flag on one side of it. I smile to myself and Finish unpacking my stuff, including multiple turtle plushies "Um, Alex? Are you by any chance  friends with Thomas Jefferson? I know he goes here.." I ask nervously.

Alex laughs and I just look at him confused "oh I know Jefferson alright, but we're far from friends, he the most arrogant, self-centred bitch I've ever met, everything he says is a lie to make him feel good about himself" I can't help but smile when he says this "why do you ask?" I shrug in response "okay.. oh I totally forgot, I have a couple friends coming over room, I'll tell them to be quiet, but they aren't usually"

"Oh that's okay I'll try to stay out of your-" I'm interrupted by someone, we more than one person barging into the room.

"Sup you lonely bitch" a familiar voice says. I look over at the people at the door, I see 2 guys, and 3 girls, In the middle of the 3 girls is- omg I knew it. She looks over at me "oh shit! John since when are you here?!"

"Omg Peggy?!" I smile and run over to hug her. She hugs me back. "I thought you weren't gonna go to college"

"I wasn't but then apparently you need a college degree to do anything in this dumbass country, but what about you? I thought you were going to some fancy art school or Princeton or something?" She replies.

"Nah I spent a year looking for somewhere else to go but this was the only place so I guess I'm here for a couple years" I explain. She nods and smiles.

"Uh wait you guys know each other?" Alex asks, clearly confused.

"Oh, me and John were friends in high school, Eliza and Angelica went to a different school though so they don't know him. But everyone this is John, John this is Laf, Herc, Eliza and Angie and I assume you met Alex" Peggy explains and points to everyone as she names them.

"Lol dude why is your fair so poofy? Don't you use product?" herc asks. I look down and sigh. The one time I don't spend like 2 hours on my hair someone notices.

"Uh his hair is better than yours. And I think it looks good like that" Peggy comments, I smile a little. She was pretty much the only nice person in high school and she knows how much I was bullied.

"Damn I didn't say it was a bad thing, chill" herc replies. "But hey John if you wanna come to a bar with us later you can"

"Uh I dunno I'll think about it" I say not really wanting to get drunk with a bunch of strangers.

"Please John? It'll be fun I swear" Alex begs me, I smile and nod causing him to smile. "Yay! We'll leave when I finish my essay" he walks back to his desk and everyone groans, I assume he works a lot.
