Sinners and Saints: A modern HAMILTON AU

chapter 1

Alex POV:

"Room 1776, down the hall to the left." the lady at the desk handed my key and waved me away.

"Thanks." I muttered but she no longer acknowledged me. Sighing, I snatched my bag and walked down the student cluttered hallway, trying to find my new room. Weaving in and out of gaps of students, one in particular shoved against me and kept walking. He was tall, had big poofy afro like hair, dark skin and dressed in magenta all over. I recognized him from last year. The school's number one homophobe, Thomas Jefferson. In other terms, Thomas Jeffershit. "Watch it!" he smirked.

I stood up and flipped him off. "You just crashed into me, if anything you should watch it."

Jefferson spun around and laughed. "Well, if it isn't the world's smallest nuisance, Hamilbitch!"

Growing up on the Caribbean, I knew how to fight and was quite good at it. Before I could swing a punch, a strong hand grabbed my arm. "Hey, he's not worth it!"

"He deserves it! Let me go!" I cried.

"Trust me, he's not worth your time."

I glanced at my preventer recognizing it was my boyfriend John Laurens. His curly hair was pulled back into a ponytail and was wearing a forest green sweatshirt with dark jeans.

"That's right Hamilshit, listen to your petty boyfriend." Thomas sneered.

"THE ONLY THING I'LL BE LISTENING TO IS YOUR PATHETIC WAILING WHILE I RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!" I shouted.

The hall was silent with tension.

Thomas looked shocked for a minute then melted into a sinister grin. "I'd like to see you try."

At this point, I was really gonna attack him no matter who said no. I tried lunging at him but John held me back. "HERC! LAF! HE'S GONNA BLOW!"

My two other friends had come from behind and grabbed my shoulders. "Alex, is he really worth your time?" Hercules hissed in my ear. I slumped in defeat.

"Good lil lion." Lafayette's french accent seemed to soothe me as he patted my head teasingly.

I glanced at where Jefferson was standing but he seemed to weasel away. 

"I had him! Why did you do that?" I groaned.

"Because you're supposed to be unpacking, not fighting." Herc waved his hand dismissively. "Besides, we're all dorm mates. So get your ass in there!"

John gently pushed me into the dorm while Herc and Laf tumbled on the couch, diving for the remote.

"MINE! I'm french!" Lafayette yelled while belting out laughter. Herc slapped him playfully. 

"And I'm Hercules Mulligan! Give me it!"

The two tousled for the remote while John rolled his eyes and pressed a button on the side of the television, turning it on.

 "Aw come on John! It was getting interesting!" Lag moaned.

 I laughed at his childish moaning and pecked John's cheek. "How did I end up with someone as smart as you?"

"Guess I'm lucky." John flashed a charming smile, nuzzling my nose. Herc mock gagged and Laf blew a raspberry. "Get a room!"

Then we kissed in front of them. best day ever

John's POV:

"Finished! FINALLY!" I was sprawled out on my bed with satisfaction. Alex was sitting in the bed across from mine, scrolling through his phone. "Oh boy! Want a medal?"
