No Turtle Can Compare // John Laurens x Reader

Chapter 1

(Y/N)'s POV

    "Who are you?" The female-sounding person asked. I looked up and saw the lady that was dressed in yellow from earlier today. She seemed on edge.
    "Oh, I'm your roommate. My name is (Y/N) Hamilton. What's your name, if you don't mind me asking?" The woman's shoulders dropped, signaling that she was starting to relax.
    "My name is Margarita Schuyler, but you can call me Peggy!" The lady, Peggy, started. "I'm sorry I acted nervously, I just expected to be rooming with one of my sisters. I guess they got rooms with each other." I smiled at her to try and get her to relax. I was hoping to make a friend. Maybe she could be my friend!
    "What are your sister's names?" I asked, hoping she wouldn't think I was weird for asking. She smiled, walked over to the bed across from mine, sat down, and faced me.
    "Well, the oldest sister is Angelica Schuyler. Our father has no sons so she's the one who has to social climb the works. She the oldest and the wittiest and she thinks she's the prettiest," Peggy said. I laughed as she continued.
    "Next there's Elizabeth Schuyler. She has never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. When she meets the right guy, wait and see how helpless she'll look," Peggy laughed. I laughed with her. She was now completely relaxed and comfortable.
    "And then, there's me. The youngest. There are perks to being the youngest. I'm treated like the little baby of the family so our father loves to pamper me. The negative is that I never get any recognition! It's always Angelica! Eliza! And Peggy. It's always 'and Peggy'!" I completely understand where she's coming from. I have fuzzy memories of when I used to be with my old family. My older sister was smart and always got praised while I had to sit in her shadow. Constantly being compared to her kinda sucked.
    "Well, enough about me! What about you? Do you have any siblings?" I thought for a second. Should I tell her what happened with my family or just mention Alex?
    "I do have a brother. His name is Alexander Hamilton. There's a million things he hasn't done, but just you wait! He tells people not to be shocked if future history books mention him. He's non-stop with his writing. He's slowly going insane, I can tell, but he won't go completely crazy for a while." Peggy giggled at my comments about Alex. She excused herself to go put on pajamas. I may have just made a friend!! I was super excited but calmed down when she walked back over to her bed.
    "Do you have a phone?" She asked me. I thought for a second then checked the pocket of my old clothing. Inside lay a simple iPhone. I smiled then brought it over to her. She pressed some buttons then put her number into my phone. Next, She put my number into her phone. Her phone made a noise when she was finished. She checked her messages and looked at the screen, confused. I looked over her shoulder to see what was on the screen.

Eliza's name has been changed to Helpless

~~~
    "Do you know who that is?" Peggy asked me. I remember on the boat that Alex had told me that his only shot in this world was in America. "I'm not throwing away my shot!" He would say.
    "I believe that's my brother," I said. She went into the list of people in the group chat.
    "Do you want me to add you into the chat?" She asked.
    "Who else is in the chat?" I asked. She started to go down the list.
    "'Work!' is my sister Angelica; 'Helpless' is my sister Eliza, I guess; 'AndPeggy' is me;" Peggy started. "'Sewin'AndSpyin' is my friend Hercules Mulligan. He's a tailor's apprentice. He's really sweet to his friends but can be really fake to some people. We usually send him to spy on people we hate and 'gather important intel';" I giggled at that. I remembered the tailor I saw in the office. Maybe that's him... "'LargeBaguette' is my other friend Marquis de Lafayette! He's French and he's really nice. He can rap really well too;" That might be the French guy I saw in the office as well! Does Peggy know the guy with the freckles...? "And finally, 'Freckles' is a good friend of mine named John Laurens! He's full of life and happiness. He is an awesome person. You'll like him, I know it." Peggy finished. I already love him...
    "I can't wait to meet them!" I exclaimed.
    "So you want me to add you to the chat or nah?" Peggy asked.
    "Yeah, definitely!" I said. She smiled and typed in a nickname for me.

    I laughed at the nickname she gave me. We both yawned and decided to call it a night. I was exhausted and needed sleep. We said goodnight and drifted off to sleep.
