MODERN HAMILTON: An American Musical

CHAPTER 1

HERCULES POV

I walked into the dorm and slumped onto the couch.

"There's going to be a new kid at school today." I said, looking at John.

"Really?" John replied, grabbing a beer from the fridge.

"Yeah," I said. "He's an immigrant."

Lafayette came running into the room.

"An immigrant you say?" Lafayette asked.

I nodded and reached for the remote.

"FINALLY! SOMEONE LIKE ME!" Lafayette screamed, spinning in the middle of the hallway.

John rolled his eyes and approached Laf.

"Chill." He said, patting him on the back then coming over to the couch.

I turned on the TV and there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Lafayette squealed, opening the door.

A confused, small boy stood at the doorway.

JOHNS POV

I looked at the door to see a confused, small, hot as fu- Okay I need to control myself.

"Is this room B-24?" The boy asked.

"Oui, mon ami!" Lafayette replied, jumping up and down.

The boy frowned and I got up from the couch.

"Don't mind him," I said, almost blushing. "I'm John, but you can call me Laurens."

"Hello Laurens," The boy replied. "I'm Alexander... but you can call me Alex." He stated, then winked at me.

Holy. Shit. My cheeks turned a slight shade of pink. Hercules approached Alex.

"Names Hercules," Hercules said. "You're sharing a bunk with Laf, sorry kid."

Laf shook his hands in disagreement.

"You'll love sharing a bunk with me! I don't snore!" Laf gushed.

Alex pursed his lips together and threw his stuff on his bunk. He proceeded to open his bag and start to read a book. Hercules, Laf and I stared at him with puzzled looks on our faces.

"How about we go to the bar?" I said, breaking the silence.

"Okay!" Herc replied, basically zooming out the door and Laf followed.

"B-but we're not 21?" Alex said, looking up from his book.

"We're 21 when we go to the bar," I said, winking at him.

Alex looked back at his book, seemingly not interested. I rolled my eyes.

"C'mon, bookworm," I laughed. "We're going to the bar."

Alex rolled his eyes and got up.

"Fine," He mumbled. "I guess."

~at the bar~

HERCULES POV

Alex, Laf, John and I entered the bar. The girls approached us.

"Hey guys!" Angelica said, eyeing Alex.

"Hey." Eliza added, also eyeing Alex.

Peggy waved.

"Didn't expect to see you guys at the bar!" John said, laughing.
