John POV
"First day at University!" I stood outside of Kings University, my university. I walked inside to sign in and get my dorm number.

The lady at the front desk was nice and I managed to sign in and get my number with ease, that's a first. I began walking towards the side of the school with the dorms but ran into a guy who clearly wasn't watching where he was going.

"Oh! I'm so sorry." I said and helped him up, he had tanned skin and dark short, curley hair. "Watch where you're going next time!" he yelled at me and waked off, rude.

I got to the dorm I was supposed to be staying in, B04. I have a roommate named Hercules Mulligan. Oh, let's hope he doesn't mind me being gay.

I took out my key and opened the door, I looked inside. I saw a girl sitting on the couch, she had tanned skin and long, dark, curly hair tied up. She was holding a hair brush and in front of her was a boy, he was short. He was lightly tanned and had shoulder length chocolate brown hair that was being brushed by the girl sitting behind him. But damn! He looked fine!

The two looked up at me as I opened the door, "Uh, Hercules Mulligan?" I asked, "Over here!" said a voice from behind the door. I opened it fully and looked inside, there was a small kitchen and inside was another man, he had dark skin and short black hair, "I'm Hercules." he said, "Oh! I'm John Laurens, your new roommate." I said and stepped inside, "Nice to meet you John!" Hercules said shaking my hand, "These are two of my friends." he said gesturing to the two on the couch. "I'm Peggy Schuyler." said the girl in a cheerful voice, "Alexander Hamilton, I'd shake your hand too but my nails are wet." said the guy holding up his hands to reveal his nails painted black.

I shut the door and turned to Hercules, "Uh, where is my room?" I asked, "Right over here." he said taking one of my bags and leading me to an empty room, "Get settled in, we have pizza on the way." he said and shut the door behind him. I decided to unpack my shit and get to know my new roommate and maybe get to know Alexander, see what he's like too.

Alex POV
I sat on the floor of Hercules' dorm, Peggy sat behind me brushing my hair and complaining about her sister's who were getting pizzas with Lafayette, "It's always 'and Peggy'! It's never 'and Angelica' or 'and Eliza'!" she complained, "You said it sister." I replied shaking my hands lightly to dry my nail polish, "I wish once it could be one of them." she said in a sad tone, "They don't deserve you." I said giving her a smirk, "I know right?!" she excmailed.

Hercules laughed from the small kitchen we had in our dorms, Peggy and I have been best friends since high school and I'm real close with her sisters, Angelica and Eliza too. We're all pretty much siblings at this point considering I've lived with them for three years. We managed to all get accepted into the same University, wasn't hard for me, I got a full paid scholarship. We met Herc and his boyfriend Lafayette, who's my roommate, afterwards and got along quick.

We heard the door being unlocked and expected it to be the other Schuyler's and Laf with the pizza so we shut up but instead a guy peeked around the corner of the door, "Uh, Hercules Mulligan?" he asked looking at me, he was sun tanned and had long curly hair he kept in a ponytail, he was also covered in freckles, he was heck cute! No Alexander, you can't fall down that same path again.

Hercules from the kitchen said, "Over here!" and the guy opened the door more to see him, "I'm Hercules." Herc said, "Oh! I'm John Laurens, your new roommate." said the guy, "Nice to meet you John!" Hercules said shaking his hand, "These are two of my friends." he said gesturing to me and Peggy. "I'm Peggy Schuyler." Peggy exclaimed in a cheerful voice, "Alexander Hamilton, I'd shake your hand too but my nails are wet." I said holding up my hands to show him my nails.

He shut the door and turned to Hercules, "Uh, where is my room?" he asked, "Right over here." Herc replied taking one of his bags and leading him to the extra room.

"He looked like a nice guy." Peggy said, "Yeah, let's just hope he won't turn out like Burr or the rest of them." I muttered in a monotone voice, "I doubt it." Peggy replied putting my hair up in a messy bun, "Where are they with those damn pizzas!" she yelled and I laughed. Let's just hope he doesn't end up like Jefferson.
