LAMS COLLEGE BOOK

Chapter 1

ALEXANDERS POV

I walked on campus. I looked at the green trees. The front office was next to where I was standing. I decided to walk in and find what classes I had, and where I would be staying. I looked around and saw two people sitting and being lectured about the wrongs of fighting. They must have gotten into a fight. 

I walked to the front desk and saw a young woman wearing a red dress. She had dark brown and curly hair.

"Hello. You must be new." She said. She sounded like she wanted me to flirt with her.. "Whats your name, sir?"

"Alexander Hamilton." I said, not very happily. "My name is Alexander Hamilton."

She smiled. "Ah, yes. Eliza Schuyler will be your tour guide." She got up. "Let me go get her!" She got up and went into another room.

She looked a little too young to work at the school. Maybe she was working in the office on the weekends. She had to be a student!

She entered the room with another girl. She had a light blue, but shiny shirt. She wore a white pair of jeans and had black boots on. She had long brown hair, and a beautiful smile. I caught myself staring at her and quickly looked at the other girl.

"This is Elizabeth Schuyler!" The girl in the red dress said. "Shes your tour guide!"

"Hello, Alexander!" Eliza said. "I've been waiting for the day I get to show someone around! Follow me!"

She began to walk off, and the girl in the red dress sat across the room and looked at some papers.

"That girl in the red dress." Someone with a french accent said. He was one of the people who got into a fight.. "She is Maria Reynolds." He said, pointing to her. "Stay away from her. She tries to flirt with everyone, but has a boyfriend."

I looked over an saw the kid who said that. "Thanks." I said, and walked off following Eliza.

"So I see Laf has told you about Maria?" Eliza said, walking alongside me.

"Laf?" I asked.

"Ah yes. You dont know anyone here." She said. "Marquis de Lafayette. Hes from France. He speaks English, but is still learning. He is a kind person."

"If hes so kind" I began. "why is he telling me to stay away from Maria. I dont care if she tries to flirt."

"Because she cheats on her boyfriend with other guys." Eliza said. "Laf was a witness. She tried to manipulate him into loving her."

"Damn, she seems bad!" I said.

She led me to a building, which I assumed was the dorms. It was just a brick building. Nothing very special. We walked inside of it and I noticed the light orange colour the walls were. She led me to the stairs and began to walk up them. We walked, and walked, and walked until we reached the last floor of dorms. The 5th floor. But to my luck, my dorm was all the way at the end of the hall. So much walking..

We reached my dorm. Eliza told me to not forget the number.

"510." She said. "Dont forget it."

She opened the door and I saw five loft beds. How can a dorm have so many beds?! I looked at the one in the middle, and saw a guy with poofy dark brown hair in a ponytail, and a girl with long and wavy dark brown hair. The girl had a grey jacket that said 'Las Vegas' on it. She msut be from Vegas. She wore black jeans and had yellow socks on. The guy had a dark green shirt, and beige pants. He had black socks and a turtle in his hand. I looked at the desk and saw a kid with a bandana on his head. He had a black shirt, and blue pants.

I looked down at my clothes. Just a navy blue shirt with some jeans and grey sneakers.

But if there are five beds, who has the fourth one?

"Alexander is here!" Eliza said. Everyone turned their heads to me.

The kid with the turtle in his hands blushed a small tiny bit, and turned over to the girl. He whispered something in her ear, and she giggled. The kid at the desk got up and walked over to me.

"I'm Hercules Mulligan!" He said. "Welcome to the dorm!"

I said hello to him and looked back over at the guy and the girl. They were climbing down the short ladder to greet me. Loft beds are cool!

The guy greeted me first. "Yo!" He said. "I'm John Laurens!" Of course, I said hello to him and turned to the girl.

"Salut! Mes noms Isabella Harris!" She said, trying to confuse me with French.

"Je parle français." I said. She giggled and rolled her eyes.

She turned to John and motioned for him to come over, as she ran to her desk.

"Man, you must seem like a major couple right now to him!" Hercules said, pointing to me.

"Chienne!" She said to him. "I'm dating Laf!" I never heard her speak in English, so I didn't know she has a French accent!

The door opened and Laf entered. "Jefferson got suspended!" He said, not even seeing me.

"Oh, hey!" He said, knowing I already knew who he was, and he already knew who I was. He walked to his bed, which was next to Isabellas, and sat at his desk.

"These are your roomates!" Eliza said. "I'll see you tomorrow to talk about your classes!" She walked out and shut the door.

This should be a good year!
