In New York (A Lams Fic)

Chapter 2: The Room Where It Happens

(This is really long and honestly kind of boring so I'm sorry)
Alex PV:
I wasn't able to get my dorm room number before the actual classes had started because I arrived late. Instead, the principal, Mr. Lee let me keep my bags in his office until I was done with school and ready to get to my room. I knocked on the door to his office.
"Come in, Alexander." He said as I slowly twisted the knob. I walked in, picked up my bags, and then he told me my room number. 1776.
"And you are going to rooming wi-"
He started to speak but I quickly stopped him. "No, sir. I'd like for it to be a surprise."
I then started walking towards my new room.

Time Skip (still Alex's PV)
  I knocked on the door and was surprised but happy to see John Laurens open it.
"Alexander!" He saw me and a huge smile spread across his face. Does he like me? Do I like him? Shit, I don't even know.
"John, hey! Is this your dorm?"
"Uh- yeah. Why?"
"Mr. Lee sent me here. This is my dorm too. Oh my god, we're actually roommates!" I smiled when I finally realized that I'll get to spend everyday with him. I do like him, don't I?
"Wait- you're not shitting me right now, are you? That's so cool!" I could hear his New York accent very clearly when he said that. "Come in! Come in! I have some other friends over"
I walked in to see Lafayette, Hercules, and 3 girls. The first girl I noticed was dressed in a pale pink sweater, acid wash jeans, and a pair of ugg boots. Her hair was black as night and very curly. She had it in a half up-half down hairdo. The second was a pale girl wearing a light green t-shirt dress and white converse. She had a long necklace with a feather charm. Lastly there was a girl with beautiful brown, curly hair. She was wearing a white blouse and a yellow skirt paired with black flats. She also had a bright red lipstick on.
"Alexander, congratulations!" The girl wearing the pink sweater started, "getting into this school is great! And John has already said a lot about you." She smiled and looked over at John. Holy shit! I think he likes me! He quickly shot her a look though so maybe he doesn't.
The girl in the green dress started talking, "Yeah John was all like 'oh Alexander was sooooo cute with his slicked back hair and dreamy eyes!'"
"Eliza!" John said her name loudly' "Stop!"
  The girls laughed on the couch and Lafayette, who was sitting next to Hercules on the floor, laid his head on his boyfriend's lap. Hercules began to play with Lafayette's hair, and I looked back at John who seemed embarrassed. I walked over to him.
"John, it's okay," I said quietly.
  I knelt down in front of the chair he was sitting in, and I grabbed his hand in mine. His hands were so much bigger than mine. I stood back up after starring into his deep, dark eyes for a few seconds and grabbed my bags.
"Where should I put my stuff?" I asked
  John got up and showed me to the bed. "There's not really much room here, but at least there's two beds." He smiled at me.
  The two beds were twins and one was on the left side of the room while the other was on the right. There was a long, light brown couch below a window and a red chair on the opposite side of the room to the beds. Closer to the door was a small kitchen area with a table, sink, and microwave. Across from the kitchen was a half bathroom. The actual showers were downstairs. I sat down on my bed and then the girls began to introduce themselves.
"My name's Angelica," said the girl in the sweater, "I'm a junior"
"Eliza" said the girl in the dress, "sophomore"
"And Peggy" the girl in the yellow skirt said her name proudly, "I'm a freshman."
Everyone in the room besides myself simultaneously said "The Schuyler Sisters" and I was really amazed with their coordination.
"Hi, I'm Alexander," I started, "but I guess you guys already knew that..."
  The sisters decided they should head back to their room and get some work done. Then Hercules and Lafayette wanted to play Xbox back at their room, so it was just me and John Laurens, alone in our room. I was lying on my bed facing him and he was sitting on his bed, playing on his phone. I was just starring at him doing nothing. Why? Well, I guess I do like him. I ended up just falling asleep after a while; I hadn't slept in nearly a week.

John PV:
  As I was scrolling through Instagram, I noticed Alex in the corner of my eye. He was looking at me. GOD! He's so cute. I know he likes me. I know I like him. I know because once he fell asleep I turned on my side and just looked at him. I just watched him breathe. I just watched him dream until I fell asleep too. This is the room where I found out I'm in love with Alexander.
