Green Eyes~LAMS

Chapter 5

After about 40 minutes, Eliza gets a call from her father, telling her to go home. so she does. i see her out the door and wave good bye. "i love you" she mouths. i smile back before closing the door. i sigh as i walk into the bedroom, seeing john on his bed, sleeping soundly. I frown before sighing again. I wish you just liked me back, then i wouldnt have to pretend. i sit down on my bed. classes start tommorow. welcome back lack of sleep. i set my alarm at 5:10 for tomorrow. as i lie down and start to fall asleep.

Laurens' POV

he's asleep. he thought i was too i guess. what was i thinking. This was bound to happen one day. i should really stop doing this. whatever, i'll get over him someday. i feel a tear roll down my cheek, i had no chance from the beggining and i knew it. why am i crying?

time skip to morning

I wake up to alexander's alarm, i see him squirm in bed. Well I can't just let him oversleep. I may be bitter for now but still... I get up silently and walk towards Alexander's bed. Shaking him on the shoulder, he let's out an annoyed mumble as he faces towards me. I can't help but smile slightly "you're damn alarm woke me up" I said. "mmh.. Whateverrr.. I'm up already leave me aloneee.." I roll my eyes "fine, I'll be in the kitchen, you can have the bathroom, be quick" I turn around and leave the room. Walking in the kitchen, I look for the pancake mix that I bought a few days ago and prepare some quick n' easy pancakes. Five minutes pass by and I'm working on the last pancake, when I see Alex walk out the room and dressed and ready to go. "that was fast" I say, surprised. He shrugs "its a habit" he walks towards the door. "hold up aren't you gonna eat breakfast?" he looks at me with confusion "what?" I ask. He looks at the food on the table. He signals towards himself. I raise an eyebrow "Breakfast, my friend. Is the most important meal of the day, and you take it in the morning". I say sarcastically to him. seriously? does this guy often go to school without breakfast? i can't even step out the door without atleast 2 pancakes. "have a bite, I made you some too" i said before taking a bite. he looks away, "I'll be fine, bye" I scoff "so? You're just gonna leave the food I made for you here for me to throw away?" he looks back at me. He sighs, then smiles. "fine, fine. I'll eat. Just because you cooked it" what was that supposed to mean? "good" I smile. He sits down beside me and starts eating. "so.. You and Eliza.. Are a thing now?" stupid. I shouldn't be asking. He looks down, searching for words. "I.. Guess?" I snicker "first time?" he glares at me playfully "yes but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm doing!" he takes a bite. "mm, this is good.." I grin, finishing up my own plate "anything made by yours truly, is and will be good" "tch" he replied "yeah yeah I get it youre great so what" I get up, with my plate I walk to the sink and start washing it. "anyway, about me and Eliza.. I'm really not sure about it.." I felt a spark of hope somewhere inside me, but it didn't last long. "because I think I love someone else.." I look at him. "you know.. Love is a pretty strong word.." he looks up at me, finishing up. "yeah.. You're right.."

Alex's pov

"I think I love someone else.." he pauses. "you know.. Love is a pretty strong word" he's right. I'm not even sure how I feel about Eliza or John anymore. Thanks to that kiss. I'm so confused about everything."yeah.. you're right.." I walk to the sink and put my plate in it. "I really must go now" i smile gently. "yeah, OK. See ya"

Time skip.

"Alex!" I see Eliza waving at me infront of my classroom. "hey" I say, waving back." what's she doing here? I thought she took acting.. I walk towards her. "what are you doing here?" "what? Is it a crime to say hi to your girlfriend?" Angelica buts into the conversation. "girlfriend huh?" I say, amused, but not really. "I-I..." Eliza stutters "I would like you to be.. My.. My..." I roll my eyes. "sure" I say cupping her cheek. She blushes furiously. "o-oh! W-well.." I hear Peggy squealing from a distance. And Angelica smile sadly. "well.. Off I go then.. See you two.." I see her eyes get glossy and shiny, I thought that was just me, because of always seeing certain shines in people's eyes. But then, I saw a tear roll down her cheek as she walked away. "wh-" "well. I guess I should be going too.. Bye.. Alexander" she smiles at me, before walking away..

"..what just happened?"

I walk into the classroom, head down. I'm only here to learn. "oof!" bad idea. "hey, dude. Watch where youre going." I look up at the tall figure in front of me. "sorry, man. Didn't see ya there.." I said, avoiding eye contact and walking away. "are you new here?" someone beside the guy I bumped into asked. That's when I began to hear the whispers of people around the classroom.

"he bumped into Thomas and never even batted an eye!"

"so rude!"

"he must be new.."

"he should do more than just say sorry!"

"are you ok Thomas?"

OK, what the hell. I guess I bumped into some celebrity or something. I look up at the guy. "guys cut him some slack, he's new, obviously" he says. I glare up at him. "come on Thomas, let's just go" says the guy beside him. The guy who's name is apperantly "Thomas" nods with a smile and walks away. I roll my eyes and walk over to my seat just as the professor walks in. "good morning, everyone. My name is professor Washington, the schools law coordinator. Pleasant to see new faces, would you mind introducing yourself?" he looks straight at me. "oh.. Yeah, sure.." I stand up. "good morning.. I guess.. My name is Alexander Hamilton. I'm 19 and I'm new here.. And.. That's it.." I sit back down and hear the whispers again. "thank you, Mr Hamilton. Hope to have a nice year with you." and with that, the class starts.

Time skip

So class is over, I walk out the classroom and I see Eliza, Angelica, Peggy, John, Herc, and Laf sitting around a nearby table. I walk towards them casually. "hey guys" they all look at me. "Hi mon Ami! We were just waiting for you!" I raise an eyebrow, taking a seat. "oh?" "yeah, we're all heading to the coffee shop down the road. Join us?" John replies. "ahh guys actually, I have some essays I need to work on.. Sorry" Eliza looks up at me "awhh.. Please??" I shake my head. "nope. No exceptions." John scoffs, he seems to like doing that. "fine, be like that, we won't mind going without you." he pouts. Jesus christ he's cute.. "..." I stay silent. "Come on Alex it's just a coffee break." Angelica says. "What's the essay about anyway?" I scratch my chin. "opinions on slavery. Why?" "I can help" she replies. Hm.. Alone time with Angelica.. Not interested.. "nah its fine. I'll manage." John facepalms. "I'll help you!" Eliza exclaims. Alone time with Eliza? Haven't I had enough of that? I shake my head "me?" Laf offers. Alone time with Laf. "Hell. No." I reply "jfc!!! Fineee I'll help" John says after. alone time with.. John.. Laurens.. ?

Eliza's POV.

We're driving to the 'place' and I can't help but wonder.. Why didn't Alex want Angelica to help him? Or did he just decline because he didn't want to bother her? And how about me? Did he not want to bother me either? No.. He looked like he was just tired of me talking when he shook his head. Laf? Why? He's a close friend of his right? Why was he so against him helping? Then there was John.. He agreed almost immediately.. Maybe it's because they were roommates? Or they're closer to each other somehow.. But, that's not true, their just friends, right? I mean, when I kissed him a few days ago, he kissed back. He loves me. I know he does. That's why he's coming... Right?.
