Alexs POV

"So, where are you from?" I instantly froze when John asked the question.

"The, Er... Caribbean.." I muttered deciding to stick with the short answer, plus it wasn't like he was asking about my ba-

"Oh cool! So, tell me some more stuff about you... So I can get to know you better... Like, what's your backstory?"

Crap. I froze again, slightly tensing up. I could feel his gaze boring at me but I didn't bother to look at him. I sniffled a little and looked down more at the computer.

"Unimportant.." Was all I muttered. I felt his gaze boring into the side of my face until finally I turned to look at him.

He seemed quite confused but when he saw me his face lightened and I could see regret all over it. "Oh my god, I'm so sor-"

"No, it's fine you didn't know. I just rather not talk to it, I mean, we just met today and all that. Don't take it personal." I shook my head.

We went back and forth asking each other different questions and from the questions I learned he's obsessed with turtles.

At the end we were both laughing and I looked at the time. 11:32 pm, "Ah, it's getting kinda late.. I'm going to go ahead and go to bed." I mumbled grabbing my computer then stood up and headed to my desk.

I set the computer down on my desk, "Alrighty, I guess I will too." John chuckled.

Johns POV

It was about a day later since I first met Alexander. We had a few conversations and honestly every conversation we had I kept falling for him. I kept silently scolding myself, he's probably straight, and I really need to stop crushing on every guy I saw. But, Alex seemed.. Different. No John. Stop.

I sat on the couch, my feet kicked up on the table in front of the couch and me glued to my phone, texting my friends.

NizBit: So coffee in 30 mins?

HERCULESMULLIGAN: IM UP

Lafayay: I am also 'up'

aNDPEGGY: Me too!

I grinned and looked up at Alex. He didn't notice me, like always. He was glued to his computer. I felt kinda bad for him, being new and all and not having any friends.

Then an idea popped into my mind.

TurtleBoy: I'm in but hey could my room mate Alex join he's new and well he doesn't have any friends so..

Everyone quickly agreed in response and I grinned. I looked at Alexander, "Hey Alex?"

He didn't as so much glance in my way, "Hm?" He hummed in response. I stared at him, "Er, me and my friends were going to get coffee, would you like to join?"

Alex hesitated. He's going to say no isn't he..

"Sure." He mumbled, "When are we going?"

"30 minutes." Alex nodded, "Alright."

Me and Alex walked inside the coffee shop and we looked around, and I soon spot Hercules and Lafayette. We walked over and sat down.

"Where's the Schuyler's?" I asked looking at them. They both shrugged, "Dunno. Probably late, like always." Hercules snickered.

After a few minutes we all quickly got bored of waiting and went ahead and ordered our coffees.

"Alexander Hamilton." Alex looked up. We had all already gotten our coffees and now it was Alex's turn to get his.

He got up and walked to the counter and I turned back to Hercules and Lafayette.

A few seconds later Eliza walked over to us, Eliza was the middle sister out of the Schuyler sisters. She had black eyes and straight black hair and she wore a blue skirt with a blue jacket. Her personality was just all out a cinnamon roll. She was extremely sweet and kind and caring. Yet, if you upset her or anything she can get pretty angry..

Her younger sister Peggy followed. Peggy wasn't her real name, her real name was Margarita but she preferred Peggy. Peggy had black hair that was usually tied up in a pony tail or pig tails. She usually wore something pretty similar to Eliza just with yellow instead. The three sisters usually liked to wear something that looked alike and they all had their own colors they used. Peggy was also pretty much like my little sister. You know how if you have a friend from the opposite gender people immediately are like, 'oh my god they're in love' that's how people are with us. It's plain out annoying.

Wait... Three sisters. That's right, there's three... "So where's Angelica?" Hercules asked reading my thoughts.

"Over there." Peggy mumbled pointing to the other direction.

I turned my head to look at Angelica and there she was standing beside Alexander. Alex was doing some wide motions with his hands while Angelica laughed.

I felt some sort of anger flare up in my stomach. Jealousy? John no. You literally just met him. Be happy he's making friends with your friends!

I pushed away the thought and turned back to my friends, "Anyways." I mumbled sipping my drink

Hercules watched then and chuckled, "They seem to be getting quite along." He murmured looking at us, wiggling his eyebrows.

Peggy laughed and I rolled my eyes, "Doubt it. Angelica usually scares off people, watch. By like tomorrow he will be terrified." I mumbled.

"Ooooh is someone jealous?" That was Peggy who spoke up this time. She stared at me her head in her hands while a huge smirk crossed from ear to ear.

I felt my face heat up, and I quickly shook my head, "No!" I objected, "I'm just saying..." They all laughed, we'll all except Eliza. That's when I began to realize how quiet Eliza actually was being.

I mean, she's not much of a talker but she's certainly one that'd make some sort of comment during that. Hercules, Lafayette, and Peggy started having a total different conversation but I stopped paying attention about the time the conversation started.

I turned my head to look at Eliza and she hadn't been paying attention at all either. She was just staring, I followed her gaze to see Alex and Angelica. They were still talking and laughing. That feeling came into my stomach again. I forced my self to look back at Eliza to push away the feeling

She looked.... Helpless.
