Golden Boy: A Lams High School AU (UPDATES EVERY TUESDAY)

Chapter Two my guy

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short, I'll have a longer one out very soon! Hope you like it!!

Hamilton's POV

"What's your problem?" I asked Jefferson who was busy cleaning up the Mac and cheese off the floor. Everyone had left the classroom.

"I don't see why you're complaining so much," Jefferson grumbled. "You're practically bathing in my world famous Mac and cheese!" He wiped them last bit of Mac and cheese off the floor and exited gracefully. Why was this dude so incredibly pompous?

I strolled down the hall to go outside and get some fresh air during my free period. I wasn't sure I was going to like it at this school with the whole Mac and cheese incident, but then I saw him.

Lauren's POV

"Hi Alex!" I grinned at my (hopefully) new friend. He waved and walked over to sit by me under the oak tree.

"Do you come here often?" he asked.

"Yeah," I replied. "I mean, it's quiet, so it's better than anything else I could do." He blinked in disbelief.

"What about Lafayette and Hercules? Don't you like hanging out with them?"

"Of course," I said fondly. "But sometimes being alone is better than being with other people." Wait. Crap. Why did I just open up to this guy that I just met this morning. Oh no. He probably thinks I'm so weird, I barely know him.

"I get it." He said simply. I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

Then he looked up at me. I tried to avoid eye contact, but it was unbearable. His eyes were a deep chocolate brown color. I glanced at his lips. So close to mine. He leaned in, and—

"What's up, John?" Eliza interrupted. My face went beet red. Oh no. What would my dad say if he knew what had almost happened? I tried not to think about it.

"The usual." I said casually. I noticed her glancing at Alex. "Oh, this is Alexander Hamilton." Alex held out his hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Alex grinned.

"Elizabeth Schuyler." They shook hands for an incredible amount of time. I don't know why, but I felt a pain in my gut.

"I'll see you around, Eliza." Alex said smoothly. He turned to me. "She was nice. Is she a friend of yours?"

"Yeah, since kindergarten. We kinda grew apart, but we're cool now." He nodded.

The bell rang abruptly before he could say anything.

Alex's POV

It was a day after I was introduced to Eliza. She continued to talk to me whenever she saw me. I don't know why, I don't really have anything interesting to say. And here she was again, strolling gracefully towards me.

"Hey Alex!" she said happily.

"Oh, hey, what's up Eliza?"

"I just wanted to invite you to my party tonight. It starts at 7:00." A party? I hadn't been invited to a party since elementary school, and that was a birthday party.

"Sweet. I'll be there." I replied. Her face lit up.

"Great! See you then."

Great. Another thing to worry about.

Thanks for reading this chapter! I'll have a new one up ASAP.
