Chapter 1 ~ New Faces

(Alex's POV)

Breathe, I tell myself as step out the car and look up at my new foster parents - George and Martha Washington - I've only met them once before but they seem nice.

"Alexander! Welcome, we can't wait to have you settle in, let us show you around! God I'm so exited!" Martha said ecstatic and George waved energetically.

"Um...hi!" I say getting slightly exited aswell

Martha showed me around the small foster home, it seemed cute - but I always thought that until... never mind - don't make yourself more anxious than you already are.

She shows me to my room

"This is your room, your sharing it - I hope you don't mind!"

"No, I'm just glad to have a room." I say jokingly

"Excellent!" Martha says - she's so sweet.

I take a deep breath, time to meet who I'll be spending at least the next month with. I gulp and turn the door nob and see the person who I'm sharing a room with; and god was he beautiful, he was a freckled, Puerto Rican, Dominican, long hair, mature in the body like..... woah! (21 chump street is fabulous) I walk in on him cross legged, on his bed, drawing in his sketchbook: he looks up at me just as I say awkwardly

"U-uh hi! I'm Alexander, Alexander Hamilton. I'm new, and I'm sharing a room with you."

He closes his sketchbook and stands up

"I'm John Laurens, it's nice to meet you Alexander."

"You can call me Alex." I say

"Ok. Alex." He says smiling slightly

I walk over to my new bed and place my backpack down on it.

"Do you need any help unpacking?" John asks me

"Er, no I'm fine, thanks though." God he's so considerate, I feel myself blush slightly.

I see him start to draw again as I fold my few clothes and stuff them into my drawer. I sit down on my bed, exhausted - then I hear George call up the stairs

"KIDS, FOOD."

I look up at the clock in the corner of the room 6.00 pm, god time flys - I thought it was ,like, 4.00.

"Come on Alex, lets go!" John says gesturing for me to follow him ,so I do.

He takes me down to the dining room, there's a large table with 3 people sitting around it, John sits down next to a boy with brown skin and curly hair in a bun

"Sit here Alex." He says and points at an empty chair next to himself.

"John, would you like to introduce the others to Alexander." Martha says to Laurens

"Sure! Alex, this is Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier de La Fayette, Marquis de La Fayette ," he says gesturing to the kid next to him "or Lafayette for short."

"Bonjour!" He says with a thick French accent, smiling. I smile back

"This is James Maddison," John says pointing at someone with a dark skin tone and short hair.

"Hi." He said politely

"And this is Maria Lewis." John finishes by pointing at a girl with a skin tone similar to his and shoulder length brown hair.

"Pleasure to meet ya!" She says excitedly

(Time skip till after they eat dinner)

We all got to know each over a bit over dinner, I learnt John loves turtles, Maria loves tattoo art and Lafayette loves trying on clothes; they all learnt that I was fluent in French, which exited Lafayette greatly.

After we were done eating dinner I jokingly ask Maria

"So what's it like living with all these boys."

"Well these guys are all more 'girly' than me so, it's great!" She said smirking

Lafayette burst out laughing, Maddison smiled and John went bright red - clearly embarrassed but then started laughing.

I might just like it here...
