Alexes POV
It's my first day at Kings College. Well, the first day in the dorms anyways. I head to administration to get my dorm and key. I walk up to the lady at the desk and she quickly asked for my name I can tell that she wants to move things along.
"Alexander Hamilton," I say
"Room 1781 your roommate is John Laurens and here's your key," she says handing me a small brass key. I walk over to the dorm building and walk up one flight of stairs to get to my dorm. All I have with me is a small green duffle bag it has all of my belongings in it. I come from a poor family in Nevis a small island that no one really knows about. There was recently a hurricane and this was all the stuff that I could find that wasn't waterlogged. All it really was was a couple sweatshirt's, a few jeans, my phone and charger, and a couple of my favorite books that included all the Harry Potter books a few about medicine and a couple about the U.S financial system and one about my personal hero Lin-Manuel Maranda. finally, I open the door (A/N sorry for the background story whoops) I wonder if my new roommate is on the dorm yet.
"Hello?" I say
"HEY!" I hear someone yell out from the back of the room, suddenly a head pops out from behind a bed I look around the dorm and observe it I don't know its just something I always do I see a cage that looks like it would be for some kind turtle. There were two beds and a bathroom (A/N sorry again I know there is no bathroom in most dorms but I'm just gonna put it in there because I can) I guess I kind of spaced off because all the sudden he was holding out his hand for me to shake. I shake it.
"John Laurens you can call be Laurens or John I don't care" he breaks the silence by saying this. He's kind of cute ok he's really cute.
"You can call me Alex or Hamilton just please don't call me Lexi whatever you do" John giggles HES SO DAMN CUTE. I feel my face turn red.
"is that all your stuff," he says eyeing my bag
"Yeah..." I respond
"oh" he seemed ashamed that he asked
"It's fine though it's all I need," I said putting my stuff on the vacant bed.
"so um... " he says to break the silence "were are you from?"
W-well um "I start tears start to fill my eyes "I kind of don't want to talk about it"
there's a long silence
A/N ay you read the first chapter of complete cringiness
