*Alexander's POV*(? Idk if I can call it that when it's 3rd person... ._.)

It was a cold day, just the way he liked it. Alexander Was glad to finally have a cold day during the summer, it always bothered him how warm it could get. He only arrived in New York around two days ago, but it felt like he was there for awhile, as if he lived here for a few years already. He wondered if he was allowed to just head to the college and enter his dorm room or not. Alex got up and headed for the apartment he was staying in for the bit of summer. 'If they do let me in, I might as well bring my stuff...'

Alex arrived at the college with his suitcase and backpack. He headed through the doors and went straight to the front desk. "Um.., hello? My name is Alexander Hamilton, I was wondering if I am allowed to move into my dorm early?" Alex asked the woman on the other end of the desk.

"Hm? Oh yes, of course. Do you already have a room number, or do I give you one?" She asked him.

"I don't have one as of now..." he answered.

"There is an open bed in room 1776(I'm cheap and I'm not sorry) on the east side of the building." She told him, as she handed him a card key.

"Alright, thank you." He said as he grabbed the card she gave him for the door. He started to head what he thought was East and looked around the place as he walked.

Luckily, Alex guessed right, and eventually found room 1776. He grabbed the card key from his pocket and put it in the door lock. The lock switched green and he opened the door. Inside he saw one bed was already made, covered in sheets and blankets. He examined the thing on the bed. It sort of looked like a chew toy, but in the shape of a turtle.

Before Alex could pick it up for a closer look, a curly haired man with freckles all over his face opened the door. His face started to blush when he noticed that Alex was in there.

The man ran for the toy and picked it up. He immediately put it behind his back. The two stood there awkwardly for awhile.

Alex finally spoke up, "Um, hi."

The man had an awkward smile. "Hi." He replied.

"So, uh, what's with the toy?" Alex asked.

The freckled man's face got even more red and he quickly threw the toy under the bed. "I don't know what you're talking about." He denied, crossing his arms and turning his head as he formed a frown.

"Uh, sure..." Alex said. "Well my name is Alexander Hamilton, and yours is?"

"My name is John Laurens." He replied. "So you are my roommate?" John asked. Hamilton nodded with a smile. "How about you put your stuff down and I can show you around the place?"

"Sure." Hamilton replied. He placed his stuff down on the other bed, just being a mattress at the time, and headed for the door. Laurens was already out of the room waiting for him. They then headed off on the "tour" for Alex.

"And the conclusion of this "tour" is the cafe." Laurens said to Alex. "And I am thirsty to I'm heading in, you coming too?" He asked.

"Sure." Alex replied, following Laurens through the door. Alex looked over at the cafe drink menu, looking for something to satisfy his thirst. He noticed that Laurens walked over to two other people, and he wondered who they were.

He saw Laurens approach him, along with the other two following close behind. One was pretty tall and big, like he could pick up Alexander as if he were a feather. The man's hair looked poofy and he had a bandana across his forehead. The other one was skinny, but tall as well, he had a beard and his hair put in a ponytail.

"Herc, Laf, this is Alexander Hamilton, my roommate." Laurens said looking at the two. He turned his head to Alex and said, "Alex, this is Hercules Mulligan," he pointed at the big guy. "And this is Marquis de Lafayette." Laurens leaned in for a whisper, "His name is much longer, but no one can remember it, but him."

"Bonjour monsieur Hamilton. You are new I assume?" Lafayette said. He had a strong French accent, as if he had just learned most of the English words. Alex gave a nod to the French man.

"Did ya see Laurens' turtle toy?" Herc quickly asked Alex with a smile. Laurens started to blush and gave an annoyed punch to Herc. The two men laughed as Laurens stood with annoyance, his face still red, and his arms crossed.

The sun had already started to set on the horizon. Alex was sitting on his bed staring down at his computer. Laurens wasn't around and Alex took the liberty of cooling the room off... with ice all over the place. 'Feels nice to finally cool off.' Alex thought to himself. 'Kind of sucks being the only one to have any powers, but today was fun.'

(I'm great with timing.) *John's POV*

"See ya guys later!" John said to his two best friends, Laf and Herc, as he walked away from the theatre doors. 'I wonder how Alex is doing in the room all by himself.' John thought.

Soon John arrived at the room door, he gave it a quick knock. He heard some noise on the other side of the door. 'Did he fall over something?' John thought.

(Heh, that was short lived, huh) *Alex's POV*

'Shit shit shit!!' Alex thought as he quickly started to try and get rid of the ice in the room. He fell over a small piece of ice as he was running around making the ice disappear.

He finally got rid of all the ice, hoping that none was skimmed over. He went to open the door for Laurens. "How come you didn't use your room key?" Alex asked as John stepped inside.

"Forgot it." John replied. "Besides, you were in here so why do I only have to rely on the key card? Unless...."

Alex looked annoyed. "Unless what?" He asked, his arms crossed.

"Unless you're trying to hide something." Laurens grinned.

'Fuck.' Alex thought. He quickly got an idea. "Now where was that turtle of yours?" Alex rolled his eyes around until they stopped at the bed. Laurens' face turned bright red and he ran in front of the bed.

"There is nothing here!" He stated.

"Sounds like you're trying to hide something." Alex grinned.

"NO IM NOT!" Laurens stated awkwardly, sweat starting to form on his face.

"What's so bad about having a toy turtle?" Alex asked.

"'Cuz people think you're a little kid." Laurens told him, still blushing.

"You sure are acting like one." Alex said quietly, but Laurens was able to still hear it. Laurens tackled him in, not an angry way, but he still looked mad.

"Take that back!" Laurens said.

"Nah, I think you're better as a kid. Makes you funnier." Alex grinned.

Laurens sighed. "Fine, I won't look into what you're secret is, but don't you tell everyone in the college about Shelly." Laurens immediately realized he had said the name of his small turtle toy. He face got even more red.

Alex gave a small laugh, "Shelly?"

"SHUT UP!" Laurens yelled. "Can we just PLEASE stop talking about this?"

"Okay, but you brought up the toy's name, not me." Alex said turning toward his closet. He grabbed his pajamas and headed toward the bathroom.

Around an hour had passed, Alex was still awake in bed and hadn't moved from his position. 'Man it's hard to sleep when it's this warm...' he thought. He turned to stare up at the ceiling. Alex heard a small squeak come from Laurens' side of the room. He looked over to see Laurens holding the turtle toy. 'It even has a squeaker.' Alex thought. 'Seems more like something a dog would have. Hmmm.....'

After what seemed like forever, Alex finally fell asleep, but before he did, he thought he heard another squeak.
