"The first rule of living on the streets (or rather, living at all) is that you never get too attached to anything. Don't waste your time. Don't make the effort. Because fortunes changed by the second. People don't stay. Alex was smart enough to know how it worked. He was also smart enough to know that he'd crossed that line with John too long ago to take it back." ------------------------ There's usually one rule when it comes to having a big group of friends: Do NOT date inside of the group. It's strict but simple, it avoids third wheeling scenarios and messy breakups; those never end well. So, truly, falling in love with your childhood best friend fucking sucked.

Alexander Hamilton is tired of feeling broken. He wants to start over, forget his past and have a fresh, new beginning at college. Then he meets John Laurens, who is a dorky, lovable goofball that also wants to get away from who he used to be. But things in the past don't always stay in the past. And promises are meant to be broken... ...Right? Warnings in the first chapter | #1 | #purging | #1 | #offense

There are two things you need to know about John Laurens. One: don't ask him about his major, and two: don't try to get to know him. Despite these warnings, Alexander Hamilton is determined to get inside of the mind of the boy from the college party with the curly hair and freckles who looked like he would rather have been anywhere else than there. John, meanwhile, has one thing on his mind; to not fall for that little persistent kid from the Caribbean who feels uniquely entitled to his messed-up life. But nothing could ever be that simple, now could it? **Mature Rating for heavy topics. Cover logo credits to @KinziFace! Thank you so much for making it!**

A classic LAMS college AU. Lots of fluff, some drama and stuff like that. I hope you enjoy! I will warn you with a TW if necessary. Enjoy!
