Laurens, I Like You A Lot

Are You Aaron?

Alexander's P.O.V

I'm glad John and his friends took me under his wing so quickly and so openly. They're really great as a whole, I can't wait to learn more about them individually. I've never really had a group of friends before, well, I never had friends before either.

John and I walk back to the door room and he's telling me a crazy story about something from his childhood and I can't help but laugh along.

John has to be the nicest of the group so far. He's funny, sweet, kind and kind of cute. Okay, not kind of. He's really attractive, it almost takes my breath away.

"And then she dumped the noodles on my head and that's how I condition my hair." I laugh, loving how he tells stories. John stops walking for a second, sticking his arm out to stop me.

"That's Aaron Burr. He was supposed to come, but I can see why he didn't." I look to where John is subtly pointing to a guy who I'm presuming is Aaron Burr who is sucking a girls face off.

"That's pretty...hetero." I say. John laughs loudly, causing Aaron and his girlfriend to turn their attention to us. Aaron sighs, but then he starts to laugh.

"John Laurens. Sorry I couldn't hang out today. I was..a little busy." Aaron says.

"Are you Aaron?" I say. Aaron notices me and nods his head.

"I am indeed. Who are you?"

"Alexander Hamilton. Nice to be at your service." Aaron laughs and shakes my hand.

"It's nice to meet you too."

John's P.O.V

Alexander and I get back to our room and right away, he gets his laptop from his bag and opens it, sitting on his bed. I hear him typing away and I raise my eyebrow.

"Alexander, school doesn't start for another two weeks. What could you possibly be working on right now?"

"Some...things." He says. I sigh, slumping on my bed.

"Are you gonna talk to me or you gonna keep working?" He types longer and then looks up at me.

"No." He looks back down and resumes typing, and even though I'm a little annoyed, I smile a little. I like how committed and dedicated he is to his work.

"Okay. Guess I'm gonna have to go to the Schuylers sisters party on my own." I see his eyebrow raise but he still types away.

"Oh yeah? Sounds like fun."

"You should come."

"I have work to do." I sit up from my bed. I walk over to his bed and I slowly close his laptop, so he can see me.

"You're coming." I say. Alex sighs and then nods.

"Sure. Is there a certain theme?"

"They're having a barbecue. And by that, they're catering burgers from someplace and we're probably gonna watch a movie."

"So is it really a party or a little get together?" Alex says. I open my mouth to say something but I come up with nothing.

"Relax. I'm still coming." My lips spread into a smile and Alex also starts to smile, clearly thinking of something.

"What?" I say. He shakes his head, standing up and going to the bathroom.

"What?" I yell after him. No response.

"Alex!"

"It's nothing!" His head pops out from the bathroom. "Just thinking about your cute smile."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We arrive at the sister's dorm and everyone is already there. There are also some people who I don't really talk to, like James Madison, Maria Reynolds, Thomas Paine, Charles Lee and Samuel Seabury. I think some of them take classes with the sisters, so it makes sense. Everyone is either grubbing on some food or talking to someone else. When Eliza notices us, she smiles and pulls us both in, closing the door.

"They're here!" Everyone claps and Alex goes off to talk to Peggy. I go to follow him but Eliza holds me back.

"So did you make out or something?" She whispers. I widen my eyes and I feel my cheeks starting to redden.

"What Eliza?! Why do you ask?"

"Oh come on! I know you, John. I know when you have a crush, and you have one on Alexander." She says, dragging out the last syllable of his name.

"Shut up. I literally just met him, Eliza."

"Uh huh. Anyways. We already have bets going on, so." She walks away happily before I can say anything else.

I sigh as I go up to Laf and Herc who are complaining about something. They notice me arrive and they stop their conversation to direct their attention to me.

"Mon amie! My friend! You joined us." Laf says.

"Yeah, took y'all long enough." Herc says. I roll my eyes and slap his shoulders.

"What'd I miss?"

"Nothing much. Just some nice burgers and-"

"SPIN THE BOTTLE!"

"Well, you don't want to miss that."
