4 ~ Laurens, I Like You a Lot

Okay, things might get start getting cuter from here, I think? (But beware, everything is going to go downhill) Yay. By the way, in case you didn't catch this from the other chapters, the italics can either mean texts or thoughts, depending on the situation.

John's P.O.V

I left my room to discover Alex sitting on his bed desperately writing in his notebook. I wonder what he's writing? It looks important. He heard me walking, then looked over, and quickly shut his notebook. As I walked out of the room, I saw him quickly stuff the notebook under his pillow. Maybe I should look at it when he leaves.... I mean, it's probably only homework, right...?

Time skip, 1 1/2 hours later (Because I'm lazy)

As Alex set out early for the meeting with my friends with his laptop, I walked over to his bed, and reached under his pillow, grabbing his notebook.

A.N. ~ HELP ME I'M LISTENING TO SPOTIFY AND STAY ALIVE REPRISE JUST CAME ON, THEN THE WORLD WAS WIDE ENOUGH CAME ON AFTER IT FINISHED...! I'm not okay.

I opened the notebook and flipped through it. All of the pages were class notes. His handwriting is so messy... I smiled at that thought, because our handwriting couldn't be any more different. I wrote in neat, evenly spaced out cursive, and he wrote in cramped, small letters.

John! Stop getting distracted! I told myself. I flipped through more of the pages, until I came to one that looked recent, and different from his class notes, kind of like a letter. Hm? What's this? I thought as I started reading it.

"Cold in my professions, warm in my friendships, I wish, my Dear Laurens, it might be in my power, by action rather than words, to convince you that I love you..." That's all I read before I slammed the notebook shut and stuffed it back under his pillow.

Oh, sh-t. Is this good or bad?

Alex's P.O.V

I walked towards the cafe with my laptop. I knew I would be early for the meeting thing, but I wanted to get some work done. I had already written 10 pages for a law project we had to do.

I sat down once I got there, and began to write...

Time skip because I have no ideas

I looked up when I heard the door to the cafe open.  I saw some girls and a guy laughing - and then the Lafayette kid and John walked in.  I knew they were here to meet me.

I stood up and walked over towards them as they were at the counter. "Um, hi."  I said. "I'm Alexander Hamilton, was I supposed to be meeting you...?"

They turned to face me.  Suddenly, one of the girls - wearing a yellow dress - squealed. "Yes!!!  Hi!!  I'm Peggy Schuyler."

"More like PegGAY." The guy I didn't know said.  He turned to me. "Hi, I'm Hercules Mulligan."

The two other girls who I assumed were Peggy's sisters looked at me after whispering something to each other.  Suddenly, the one wearing pink spoke up. 

"Hello!  I'm Angelica Schuyler, and this is my sister Eliza.  You've already been introduced to my other sister, Peggy." The girl wearing pink laughed, gesturing to Peggy.

John spoke up. "Hi.. you already know me, soo..." I nodded at him and smiled.  Then, Lafayette smirked at me, and glanced at John.  "I'm Lafayette, you've already met me."

"Nice to meet you all!" I said, smiling.  They all seemed very nice.  The Eliza girl -who was wearing blue- was looking at me weirdly.  It made me feel kind of uncomfortable, to be honest.

"Well, should we sit down??" Peggy said, breaking the silence.  We all agreed, and sat at a table.

Eliza's P.O.V

Alexander is cute.  I mean, not sexually.  He just seems so... I don't know how to explain it.

"Well, should we sit down??" Peggy asked us, filling the silence and interrupting my thoughts.  "Yeah... let's do that." I mumbled. Angelica looked at me. 

"You okay?" She mouthed.  I nodded, and smiled, then started thinking about what had happened four months ago.
FLASHBACK (rewind!!  Eliza's P.O.V)

I was sick of lying in bed at night, wondering why I was so different.  I mean, I wanted to be with a few people romantically, but never sexually.  I couldn't take it anymore.

I grabbed my phone from my bedside table.  Googling up "I don't feel sexual attraction", the only results that came up were from something called Asexuality.

I clicked on the first link.  It gave me a description of what "asexuality" is.  "Someone who doesn't experience sexual attraction. Often confused with autosexual (sexually attracted to oneself), asexual reproduction (when organisms can reproduce without sex), celibacy/abstinence (the choice not to have sex). Asexuals may or may not be romantically attracted to others, and may or may not have a sex drive (though not directed towards anyone or anything)" I read. 

I finally felt like I belonged, in a way.  "I'm asexual." I tried out, saying it out loud.  I figured out a new part of myself.  I finally fit in.

Alex's P.O.V,

We sat at a table, quietly staring at each other.  "So - uh - what are you majoring in, Alex?"
I told her it was law.

I think you can major in law??  Idk let me google it real quick.  Okay, I'm pretty. sure you can.

"So, what's your sexuality?" Mulligan asked me curiously.

"I'm straight."  John looked shocked, for some reason.  Hm.. I wonder why?

"Straight up bisexual!" I cheered along with the rest of my new friends, earning a few glares from other customers. "What about you guys?

"Laf, John, and I are gay, Herc is pan, Angelica is straight.  So is Eli-" Peggy started.

"I'm not.  I'm not straight." Eliza broke in. "Well, I guess I kinda am..."

We all stared at her.  "What do you mean?!" Angelica said, confused. 

"I'm asexual."  She stated.  I smiled at her.  "It's awesome that you told us!  Great job on figuring it out."

She looked at me, smiling back, and I realized she had the same look I gave John when he wasn't looking.

She looked helpless.

1,033 words!  This chapter probably sucks, but it took me three days to write so I'm not deleting it.  Ha.  Well, hope you liked it!  Any suggestions?
