War of College | Hamilton Reckless Au

The party (part 1)

Alex's POV

It's the day of the party and excitement fills the air. We laze in Johns room preparing for the night. Herc gets his makeup done by Eliza while Peggy gets my nest combed through. While Laff helps me with my outfit. "OOWWWW" I scream, "Peggy stops that hurts!" I growl. "If u brushed your hair more we wouldn't have this problem!!" Peggy exclaims, tugging and sorting my hair piece by piece. Ripping and tearing through the knots. "I'm a busy man, I don't have time to brush it!" I put my hands on my hips. "At least be more gentle!" I continue to protest. She doesn't responds and continues. Laff plays with my outfit, smoothing and fitting it. "Alex, why are you sooo grumpy! You're the only one with a date, and we all seem to be way more excited then you are." He states in ostentatious sass. I force a laugh. "I guess I'm just nervous.." Peggy styles my hair in a neat ponytail. I attempt to change the subject. "So Laff has anyone asked u out yet?" I look over at Laff who has a saddened look displayed on his face, he covers that look with a eye roll and hand on hip. "A few, but you know dating isn't for me, I rather watch other peoples dreams come true." Laff states confidently. Herc watches, his face flooded with sadness that he tries desperately to hide as well. I glimpse at Eliza who is looking at the two worried. "What about you Herc..." I look over at Herc who is getting his hair done by Eliza. "Well... the guy I like certainly doesn't like me back... so no..." Herc signs and rest his chin on his hand. "Ah! Who do like?!" Laff asks in sudden oblivious excitement. "Just a guy!!" Herc yelps and turns away red. Laff eyes glisten with slight sadness, but he deceives us with a gentle smile, while he fixes my collar and begins to work on his own makeup. "This mystery guy is gonna realize what he's missing when he sees you." He plays. "Y-You think I look that good." Herc blushes immensely. "Of course!" Laff exclaims and blushes unknowingly. I laugh at the two oblivious love birds. "Ok well are we all ready to get going?" Eliza exclaims while she jumps to her feet with glee. "Heck yeah!" Everyone says enthusiastically.. we get in the car and begin driving. During the 30 minutes we were confined in that large van, my mind began to wander, and look back to how my life had been more absolute hell since that forsaken day I sacrificed my happiness to protect a frail man. Right when I was just beginning to enjoy myself.

But it's of no matter tonight.

Tonight,

I'm having fun.....

Alex's POV
At the party

We walk through the glass doors to be pleasantly greeted by scenic colorful spot-lights, framing the dance floor and lighting the bar along with the hundreds of college kids dancing to high beat music. The side windows are covered by a black paper, while the front stay bare. We meet John who is sitting next to a girl with black fluffy hair at the bar, "Hey guys!" He smiles and waves, I sit next to him. Herc runs over to the bar ecstatic while Burr sneaks off. Peggy already is off stirring trouble while Eliza tries to stop her. I sit next to John ordering a drink. "Sooo this party isn't as lame as I expected, did you set it up?" I look at the scenery and then at him. He blushes slightly, "heh yeah... but Angelica helped a lot so it wasn't all me.." he states humbly. "Who-" I began to say looking over John the girl looks up and we lock eyes. There a moment of silence as we stare.
I lean over to John "That's Angelica?" I whisper, "Yep." he whispers back.

"I should say hi~" I make my self more presentable as I began to walk to her. John orders a drink. "And I'll supervise." He looks at me smugly. "What??? When have I EVER needed supervision." I gasp dramatically. "Since you got a girlfriend, I don't want u flirting." I look at him offended. "I am not a scoundrel!" He raises a brow.
"Okay maybe a little bit..." he continues just staring at me.
"Okay maybe a lot!! But I still don't need supervision!" He laughs, his laugh makes me blush..
"So like, are you two done whispering?" I turn to Laff and Herc staring at us.
"Oh I kinda forgot you guys where here." I look over blushing leaning away from John.
"Yeah to listen in on your conversatio-" Laff smugly states but is interrupted by a elbow to the side. "Why....?" John sighs. While they argue I sneak away.
"Hey.." I walk over to her.
"Hi..." She looks up at me. We look at eachother. I see a tiny blush stream across her face. She looks taken aback but then shakes it off.
"You're Angelica right?" She nods purposefully.
"And you are?" She gains her confidence.
"Alexander Hamilton" I kiss her hand.
"What brings you over here?" She smiles flirtatiously. "I found that you looked stunning and wanted to let you know."
She blushes. "Oh Yeah? Well how many times do you pull that on woman." She asks interrogating me. I was stunned by the sudden change of tone. "Not often, I only use it on the pretty ones." She blushes further. "Playboy." She crosses her legs turns in the bar stool she's sitting in.
"So sassy...."
