Alexanders POV
My hands shook as I stood in front of what was going to be my new dorm. I did my best to hold the key to the door still. I slowly inserted the key in the lock and then twisted it till I herd a click, I opened the door carefully almost scared that my roommate was already there. Of course I had no idea who my roommate was, the lady who gave me the key had told me his name but I wasn't really paying attention. Maybe it was Joe? No that wasn't it...oh crap I already forgot his frickin name! Ugh wow I already really messed up. I plopped down on the bed that was on the right side of the room and unpacked my stuff then started to read.
A few hours later I heard the sound of a key in the lock. Oh great the roommate who's name I have already forgotten is here I couldn't help but think to myself almost irritated at myself for forgetting. The door finally started to creep open and in came my new roommate.
"Hello" he said shyly. I felt like I was just struck my fricking lighting.
"Um... h-hi" I responded dumbly. I stared at him and started to appreciate every future about him. His eyes were such a beautiful mix of brown and green and his face seemed to painted with thousand of freckles. He had his hair pulled back into a ponytail but many strand of his curly brown hair managed to escape the grasp of his elastic. I was even more irritated now, no not irritated MAD! How could I have forgotten his frickin name!
"I'm John luarens" he said and extended his hand out for me to shake. I shook his hand gladly. "Of course you probably already knew my name" he trailed off. No I thought to myself . "I'm sorry" he started to blush "I feel like such an idiot, I forgot your name" he laughed a little trying not to sound embarrassed.
"Oh it's okay, my name is Alexander Hamilton but you can call me Alex if you want" I said trying to act casual like I wasn't staring at the most incredibly handsome boy that was now standing infront of me.
"It's nice to meet you" he commented trying not to make an awkward silence between us (spoiler alert, it didn't work). He smiled at me and then started to unpack. Once he got all his stuff put away (including a tank that contained his small pet turtle. I don't know how I didn't see the tank he was holding it when he came in...I guess I was to busy looking at him to realize) he sat down on the bed across from mine and started to play on his phone.
John POV
I took a deep breath as I stood outside my dorm. I tried to relax but I couldn't seem to breath. I did my best to unlock the door with out dropping the key. I struggled to unlock it, it felt like I was trying to pick the the lock not open it with a key! After a few moment of struggling the door creeped open. I looked inside to see my new roommate sitting on his bead.
"Hello" I said but it almost sounded like I was asking a question not saying hi.
"Uh...h-hi" he stammered as he looked up from his book. I took this moment to look at him, and honestly I didn't really want to stop staring at him. His eyes were a sweet chocolate brown and his hair was a little bit darker than his eyes. He had pulled back so it stayed out of his face. He was looking strait back at me for so long I started to feel my cheeks burn. I stuck out my hand.
"I'm John Laurens" I said as he shook my hand. "Of course you already knew that" I paused again hoping that he would tell me his name. I was told when I got my key but I wasn't really paying attention (I really wished I had payed attention I didn't want him to think that I was an idiot). After what felt like an hour
hour of not talking I finally decide to fess up "I'm sorry, I feel like such an idiot, I forgot your name" I said and I could feel my cheeks getting warmer under the pressure I felt as he stared at me.
"Oh it's okay, I'm Alexander Hamilton it you can call me Alex if you like" he shrugged. There was another awkward pusse before I spoke again.
"It's nice to meet you" I said and then started to unpack. When I had finished setting my turtle up I couldn't help but glance back at Alex as he read. After a few seconds past I pulled out my phone, sat on my bead and started texting my friends.
Turtle: Guys I need some help!!
Herc: why?
Laf: did you get a bad roommate...
Laf: is it Jefferson?
Turtle: yah right. That message would be something along the lines of THE WORLD HAS ENDED AND LEFT ME WITH THE ONE PERSON WHO MAKES ME WANT TO RIP MY ARM OFF JUST SO I CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO THROUGH AT HIM!!!!
Herc: then what's wrong
Turtles: nothing huge I guess it's just, um...
Laf: what??
Turtles: MY ROOMMATE IS TOO FRICKING HOT!!
I turned off my phone and laid down on my bed. I could feel Alex looking at me before finally turning away. I herd my phone buzz with every message from Her and Laf. I knew they were probably just freakin out with each other about my new found crush so didn't bother to read the messages that made phone buzz like really loud bee. I rolled my eye back and sighed before I closed my eyes. This was going to be a rough year I thought to myself. Before I could fall asleep thoughts of Alexander poured into my mind until I eventually drifted off into the darkness of my sleep.
