A Hamilton Christmas Story; LAMS! (Modern Version)

Chapter 2

December 21st, 1:15.

"So, Alexander. What college have you gone to?" John asked, everyone suddenly going quiet, smiles spreading across their cheeks. 
"Uh, King's College." 
"No way! I went there too! How come we weren't able to see each other?" John laughed, everyone else giggling. Alexander smiled, he'd give a small chuckle.

They sat in the corner of the restaurant, probably because of all the noise they'd make later. There wasn't that many people, maybe eleven or twelve. There was already a bit of noise, the people in the kitchen rushed over at pots that were boiling on the stove, or dropping plates cause they bumped into something or someone.
'Never seen a restaurant as sloppy as this one.'  he'd giggle to himself. The waitress finally came over, notepad in hand as well a blue pen. Her hair was slicked back into a tight ponytail, her hair black as a crow's feather. She had little makeup done on her eyelids, and lips. 
"Hi, I'm Abbie, I'll be your waitress for today. Are we ready to start off with drinks?" 
Everyone nodded 'yes'.
"Alright, you sir?" she'd lean a bit towards John, her eyes focused on him. 
"I'll just have a beer."
"John.." Peggy sounded, her eyes burning with a slight of anger.
"Fine.." He'd chuckle. "I'll take a water instead." he'd look up at the girl for a moment before concentrating on his menu again.

"Alright! And you?" The waitress then glanced at Eliza, who still searched the menu.
"Eh, I'll have.." she'd slam her finger down into the menu. "A strawberry smoothie, please." Eliza looked up, a smile on her face like she made the right decision. 
"Sir?" Abbie asked, her eyes now on Alexander since he sat next to Eliza. 
"I'll have, a water." the waitress nodded. She moved along to both Hercules and Lafayette, they ordered the same thing. Coke. 
"Okay, I'll be back with your orders'." she left.
"So, John. Are you and Martha still a thing?" Lafayette asked, his hands making a gesture.
John shrugged, his hands rubbing his arms like he had goosebumps. 
"I don't even know anymore." he'd answer, his eyes drooping.
"What do you mean?" It was now Hercules.
"Just, she said she wanted a break from our relationship. You know how that usually goes." John sighed. "I haven't heard from her over two months. I'm pretty sure it's done." He'd shrug once more.
"I don't care anyway."
Everyone stared at him with sympathetic eyes, until the waitress came, with a plate that was occupied of their drinks. Abbie placed down the drinks one by one, giving it to a certain person.
"Are you all ready to order your food?" She'd ask, her left arm holding up the massive plate.
"Actually, we were just here to have a good time with a couple of drinks, is that fine?" Angelica asked, her fingers sliding into her purse. 
"Of course, here's the bill if you would like to pay now." Abbie placed it on the edge of the table, turning away and hurrying off to a different table.

Angelica blinked, placing the money back into her purse she had dragged out.
"Angelica." Alexander added to all the talk around the table. "How are you and Alan Kermit?" he'd snicker, seeing the young girl's face turn to a dark red. 
"Who's Alan Kermit?" John asked, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Alexander blinked for a moment, staring at John. 'This guy's smile, it's amazing. Wait! What am I thinking?'  he thought, not even catching the answer to his question. Everyone started laughing, Angelica digging her hands in her face. He'd laugh along, confused.

The door opened, everyone piling out. They walked down the frosty steps that were covered in salt. 
"Hey! Babe!" Hercules shrieked, making Lafayette turn around sharply with a worried look on his face. Hercules held a snowball, firmly in his hand. 
"Don't you dare Hercules! If you hit me, I'll hit you back!" 
The man shrugged, smirking. 
"Suits me." he'd throw it, the snowball whizzing past the group and hitting Lafayette's stomach. Lafayette growled, literally, the man is scary sometimes. Alexander watched, amusement filling his eyes. Lafayette crouched down, shoveling snow into his right hand. He'd perk up, his left hand adjusting the snow into a ball. His left foot took a step forwards, his right hand throwing the snowball into the air and towards Hercules. Hercules ducked, snickering as he looked back at Lafayette. 
He was about to take another snow ball into his hand, but John inturrupted. 
"Hey! Hey! Hey! If you're gonna continue to do this, go into the field over there, we can't do this on a parking lot."
"You're joining?" Eliza glanced at him, looking unamused.
"Come on, it's gonna be fun. It's not like we have any plans." He'd rush off into the field, Hercules and Lafayette close behind.

Alexander shrugged teling himself it wouldn't harm him to have fun. He'd slowly follow the others, walking into the deep snow. He heard snow being crunched behind him, he'd turn, seeing Peggy and Angelica waddling in to join the fun. Alexander felt the need to laugh, but he was interrupted by a snow ball being launched towards him. It shot over him, it skinning the very tip of his hat. 
"Ack!" Screamed Angelica. He'd look behind him once more, laughing at the sight he saw. The snow ball hit her smack dab in the face. 
"Oh it's on John!" she'd grab the snow next to her, her jean tips covered in snow. Angelica whipped past him like lightning and threw one right to John. He was about to join in, when all of a sudden a smack sounded, his back was hit. He'd slowly turn around, seeing Eliza giggle. 

Alexander blinked, where had Peggy gone? He felt another snow ball hit him in the back once more, he'd turn around quickly. Seeing the girls basically ambushed him. 
"Teaming!" he'd yap. Hearing the normal giggles. John must've heard, as a snowball splattered onto Peggy's back. The girl squawked, falling to the ground from the impact. 
Alexander turned around to meet Eliza, she was crouched as she grappled snow in her fingers. 
Alexander did the same, standing up tall and ready to hit her. She'd throw first, missing by an inch. Eliza chuckled before backing away slowly. He'd mock her chuckle before throwing the snow ball, it hitting her right in the knee.
