19-year-old John Laurens has been in college for four days before his roommate shows up. When John introduces himself, the boy doesn't say a word. So when Laurens asks for his name, he raises a hand and signs "Alexander Hamilton." This surprises Laurens just a bit, because this boy didn't look like the kind to remain silent. He's seen those people before, and the boy in front of him looks like he has a lot to say. But what's keeping him from speaking his mind?

A girl is forced to dress as a boy to go to the dream school she wants. Though, someone finds out about her real identity. Will she be kicked out and possibly hung for the crime. Or will the person who knows, not tell?
