Helpless (LAMS)

Chapter 1: Alexander Hamilton

Alex's POV

The city is right in front of me as I get off the boat. It looks huge and almost intimidating. Being an orphan from the Caribbean, I'm definitely not used to tall buildings and I mean TALL buildings.

I walk towards the college that I was accepted into with a scholarship. I was carrying my laptop in my armpit and rolling a suitcase to my destination. I didn't have much to carry since I came to America with not that much money. Actually, let me rethink that. I came to America with about 10 dollars.

I see the college in the distant as I read the words "Lin Manuel Miranda University." I love Lin he's an inspiration to me.

Wait is that, I thought as I get a closer look. "Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir?" I almost squealed as I said that.
"That depends, who's asking?" He  said looking surprised.
"Oh sure, sir! I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at-" I said, but then he covered my mouth
"Try talking less and smiling more." He professionally said as he removed his hand from my mouth. I was confused and said, "What?"
"Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for."
"You can't be serious."
"You wanna get ahead?"
"Yes!" I said immediately
"Fools who run their mouth, wind up expelled."
"Oh," I gulped as that was all I could say. (Well that's surprising)
"I'll see you around, Hamilton." He glanced at me as he walked away.
What just happened? I thought to myself. I walked over to the woman at the front desk. She looked sweet. "Hi, I'm Alexander Hamilton. I'm here for my dorm room number?" I said confidently.
"Oh hello, sweetheart. Your number is 1776."
"Thanks!" I turned on my heel and searched for my dorm. I hope my roommate is nice.

John's POV

My friends and I watch a movie as we wait for my roommate. Peggy wasn't necessarily looking at the TV, but at the door. She just stared and stared.

We didn't care that we couldn't see the color of the movie. No one in our friend group had found their soulmate yet, or at least confessed. Herc and Laf had to be together, they liked each other, but Laf had a girlfriend, Adrienne.

I jumped as someone knocked on the door. I jumped up, but Peggy made it there before I could. "Oh. hi! I'm Peggy!" She exclaimed. She blocked the view of my roommate. "Uhh, hi. Is this dorm, 1776?" He said quietly and almost mumbled. "Yep!" She exclaimed. I pushed her out of the way to see an adorable roommate.

His hair was in a tight pony tail with only two strands of hair on each side of his head. He had dark hair that looked soft and eyes, oh his eyes were a great shade of gray that I could get lost in for hours. He had bags under his eyes, which made him look like he hadn't slept in a week, but I didn't mind. He looked about 5 foot 7 inches. His lips looked soft and kissable.

I didn't realize I was staring until Peggy elbowed my arm. I felt heat rise up to my face. I was blushing and smiling. "Come in." Peggy said almost annoyed. I just stood there and didn't say anything. My feelings were messed up.

Alex's POV

I look at the girl for a second. She had curly long hair that was put up in a pony tail. She was a little taller than me, but she was cute. She was pushed out of the way by a cute guy, I get a closer look.

Oh my god, look at him! Look at him! He is the most gorgeous person I have ever seen!

His hair was curly and it looked so fluffy. He was taller than me by a few inches. His freckles were all over the place, I just wanted to count them all. His eyes were light and deep, they were beautiful even without color.

He was staring at me, while I was staring at him. The silence soon ended when the girl, Peggy elbowed his arm. "Come in." She said sounding a little bit annoyed. I walked in and stared at everybody. We stayed in complete silence until Peggy spoke up. "Everybody this is Alexander Hamilton, John's new roommate."
"Hi!" Everyone said in unison
Before I could say something, Peggy spoke again.
"Alexander, that's Lafayette and Hercules." She pointed to two men, one that had black curly hair in a ponytail and dark skin, and the other had a bandana over his short hair and had a little bit darker skin tone then the other man.
"That's Eliza and Angelica. They are my sisters." The two girls were pretty. One had straight dark hair and light skin, and the other had dark curly hair and dark skin. They didn't look related.
"And of course there's John, your roommate."
"Hello." I said a little bit more confidently.
"Bonjour Alexandre! Je m'appelle lafayette. Je vois que vous avez un goût envers Laurens." He wiggled his eyebrows at me. I blushed so hard.
"Oh salut. Je ne l'aime pas. Je parle le français couramment comme vous pouvez le voir." I responded, and he smiled brightly.
"Finally! Someone who speaks French!" He exclaimed.
"Okay enough French, let's go to the bar!" John finally spoke up.

I had never been to a bar or drank alcohol. I am underage, so I couldn't if I wanted to go.
"I can't go, I'm 19." I denied quickly.
"Don't worry we have our ways." Hercules smirked.
"Besides, you could meet your soulmate." Eliza squeaked.
"Fine. I'll go, but I won't drink." I mumbled loud enough to hear.
"Yay!" They exclaimed in unison.

They're probably right, I could meet my soulmate. I snapped out of my thoughts, but I soon thought about John. If I wanted to be with someone I would want to be with John. No Alexander. Stop! He's straight! I mentally slapped as we walked to the bar. This night will be eventful.

John's POV

Alexander agreed to go to the bar. I was happy to get to know him, but I did feel bad about pushing him into this. He is just so cute! I totally like him. No John, he's straight stop it! Or is he? Yes he is! Stop! 

I can't believe I was having a full argument in my head. God, I'm really stupid, who would like me?
