The air was thick in New York. I'm still not used to it yet. My name is Alexander Hamilton. My friends call me Alex. If I had any friends. I am from the Caribbean so I don't really know anyone here. I'm in college and I'm getting a new roommate today. Apparently his name is John Laurens. I'm so nervous to meet him. You see I'm bisexual... so this is gonna be hard for me. But time to meet him. I got to my dorm and opened the door slowly. I see him making out with a girl and I see a person come out of the room next door. It's my crazy ex. I run in the room and shut the door quick. John gets up fast and he looks at me. "Who are-?" I looked at him. "I'm your new roommate. I'm gonna go unpack don't stop what you're doing for my presence here." I ran up to my room fast and heard a knock at the door. I heard people talking and John walking up the stairs. "Hey Alexander. Someone's here to see you. He says it's urgent." I was panicking. I didn't want to see him. "O-okay thanks John." Apparently he could here the panic. "Hey are you alright?" "Y-yeah I'm fine." I ran down the steps not wanting to talk about the situation. I shut the door and looked at my ex. "What do you want Aaron?" He stepped closer and I moved away from the door that way John couldn't hear us. "I want you my sweet Hamilton." He kissed my forehead slowly and softly. The one thing he used to obey me with is now the thing I fear the most. I pushed him away tears threatening my eyes. But I'm Alexander Hamilton I don't shed a few tears over my ex. "You almost killed me! You shot me multiple times!" I walked back in the dorm and shut it. I ran up to my room. The girl was gone. She must've slipped out the back. I layed down on my bed crying. Why'd he have to be here? Why now? John came up the stairs and I covered myself with the covers. "Hey do you wanna meet some... are you okay?" "Y-yeah I'm o-okay." But I wasn't okay. I was broken. John sat on my bed and uncovered the covers. "Dude you're crying. What's wrong?" I looked at him. "Aaron Burr is my ex. He tried to shoot me because I broke up with him. So seeing him today was kinda scary." John looked at me in sympathy. "Oh I'm so sorry Alex." He stroked my hair. "Don't you have a girlfriend?" "Who? Angelica? Oh no! I'm gay and I needed her help to know if I was gay." My heart fluttered. I smiled and kissed him softly. He kissed me back slowly and softly. "I was gonna ask if you wanted to meet some of my friends. My friend Peggy is throwing a party tonight." "Oh yeah... totally." 

 I stood up as did he and we left. When we got there everyone was staring at me. John looked down at me and nodded holding my hand. "Hey everyone this is my new dormmate. His name is Alexander Hamilton. We can call him Alex." I smiled and waved. I noticed the girl Angelica and she walked up to me and smiled. She was wearing dark clothes with spikes and chains. "Sup, I'm Angelica." I smiled softly and nodded. "Hey I'm Alex." Peggy looked at me and clapped her hands. "Okay time to play truth or dare." We all sat in a circle. The bottle landed on me and Peggy smiled. "Okay Alex, truth or dare?" I bit my lip and smiled. "Truth." "What's your story of getting here?" I looked at everyone as they looked at me curious. "I don't wanna bore you with the details." "Oh come on mon ami. It'll be fun." "Okay. I was born in the Caribbean. My mom was called a whore, my dad was called a bastard for leaving my mom, James and me. He left when I was ten years old. My mom got sick after my brother died in a hurricane and died when I was twelve. I moved out of the Caribbean at 18 and lived with my cousin who committed suicide until I dated Aaron Burr. Last year we broke up and he tried to shoot me. So now I'm 19 but my mind is older. And now I'm here in front of you guys telling you my story." Everyone stared at me. John hugged me tight. "Alex I'm so sorry." He kissed my cheek softly. I looked at him. He smiled and we kissed. We didn't care who was watching. He kissed me softly and slowly as I kissed back. Lafayette and Hercules cleared their throat. I pulled away from John. "Sorry guys." Lafayette looked at us. "So mon ami. Are you two dating?" "Uhh... none of us asked the other one." John stood up and smiled helping me up. He was a couple inches taller than me so I looked up at him. "Alexander Hamilton. Will you be my boyfriend?" I smiled and kissed him. "It would be my honor John Laurens." I looked at him and smiled. He kissed my forehead. Everyone started clapping and cheering. A couple of hours passed and I got to know everyone and I was talking to John, Hercules and Lafayette as I yawned. "It's getting late." John said. "We should really head home." I nodded slowly falling asleep standing up. "We'll text you guys tomorrow. Party at our dorm. 9:30pm." It was just a few blocks away so we said goodbye to everyone and walked home. John picked me up and carried me the rest of the way home. I must've fell asleep in his arms. I woke up in a really baggy sweatshirt with a turtle on the front. I walked down the stairs and saw John cooking breakfast. He was wearing shorts and no shirt. I walked up to the island and sat down on a chair. "How did I get in your sweatshirt?" He jumped slightly spilling coffee on himself and cursing under his breath. I hopped over the island and grabbed the mugs setting them on the counter and grabbed a wet towel dabbing the burn. I looked down at the burn as I could feel his eyes on my head. He grabbed my hand and I flinched. What was he gonna do? He pulled me close. Not caring about the burn and made me look up at him. "Stop focusing on the burn, I'm fine Alex. You are in my sweatshirt because I put you in it last night. You were half asleep so you don't remember." He kissed my forehead softly and I smiled softly. "We better get ready for the party." John looked at me confused. "John you forgot? You invited everyone over last night." He looked surprised and then shocked. "Oh shit you're right! We gotta clean up!" He kissed my cheek and ran up the stairs. I laughed and heard my phone go off.

Favoritefightingfrenchman: Hey guys. Can Herc and I come over early? We need some help with our relationship.

HercMulligan: thanks for telling them babe.

Nonstopwriter: Sure guys. I'd be glad to help. So is John.

Turtlelover: Don't put my name in this. Just kidding. I'm happy to help.

Favoritefightingfrenchman: Cool. See you soon

Nonstopwriter: See ya.

 I ran up the stairs and changed into a black shirt and black shorts. Herc and Laf only lived right under us so it wouldn't take them long to get here. I picked up as much as I could and kind of made the place look like a therapy session. What? I had to have some fun with this. I heard a knock at the door and smiled. "John get down here!" I heard another knock and ran to the door as John ran down the steps. I opened the door and Herc and Laf were yelling and I pulled them in the room. "Guys we have neighbors!" I noticed I was now yelling and shook my head. "Okay guys sit on the couch." They sat and I sat next to John. "What's going on guys?" Hercules looked at me. "He keeps wanting to get an apartment instead of living in the dorm. But I like the dorm." "And he won't cooperate when I said I want to move." I looked at John as Hercules and Lafayette started yelling at each other again. He shrugged his shoulders. "Okay shut up! Both of you!" They stopped yelling and looked at John. I looked at John and smiled. "Now Herc, why don't you wanna move?" "I like it here. I get to see you guys everyday and we're only two blocks away from the girls. I don't wanna move where I'm so close to my friends." I looked at John. John looked at me. Then we looked at Herc and piled on him. "Herc's afraid to leave his friends!" He pushed us off and we laughed. I smiled at Herc. "Herc we'll see you everyday in class. And we'll throw awesome parties in your apartment. Think about it dude." He nodded and kissed Lafayette's cheek. "I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to yell at you." He smiled slightly. "It's okay mon ami." They kissed each other softly. We all stood up. "Now your session has timed out. Get out of our dorm so we can clean." I pointed to the door and they laughed waving bye and walking towards the door. "We handled that pretty well don't you think?" Next thing I knew John's soft lips were on mine. I smiled during the kiss and layed down on the couch. His lips trailed down my jawline and to my neck. I moaned softly. I heard my phone go off and looked at it. John layed his head in the crook of my neck. "Yes? Oh! Oh my god! Okay! I'll be right there!" John shot up like a rocket. "What's wrong babe?" "My dad is still alive!"
