"What's that thing Einstein said?"
"Alex..."
silence...
"Alex..."
Still silence
"Hamilton..."
Nothing
"Alexander Hamilton..."
Still nothing
"Ham for ham?"
"Alexandria?"
"Hamlet?"
"Omelet?"
"Lex?"
"Lex Luther?"
"ALEXANDER FUCKING-PIECE-OF-HORSE-SHIT-BASTARD-HAMILTON!"
Not. A. Word.
Lafayette sighed, knowing well what he had to do
"Arrêtez d'écrire et mangez!"
Alex stopped writing and looked up at Lafayette
"Va te faire foutre"
And went back to writing
Lafayette smirked
"If you want to be like that..."
He took his laptop from underneath his bed and opened the window, hanging his laptop out the window
"Laf! No! Put it down! I need that!"
Lafayette nodded
"not till you get your Ton cul up and eat, or do something! You have been writing for five days STRAIGHT! Take a break mon ami!"
Alex sighed and put his pen down "fine, what are we going to do then?"
"First mon ami, we go meet Hercules and John for lunch, then after, we go pick up Eliza from the airport, she's on her way from London."
Alex smiled his eyes wide "She's coming today?! That's great! Can't wait to see her!" Lafayette rolled his eyes "Oui, oui, now go get ready, we were suppose to be there an hour ago. I bet they're waiting outside right now" Alex chuckled "You don't sound like you're excited to see her" Lafayette sighed "Je suis, but not as excited as you are, she texted us like, six days ago, but you were at the library at the time. We thought you got it to but we forgot you always had your phone on silent when you're at the library" Alex scoffed
"I have respect for quiet areas, unlike you three!"
Lafayette punched Alex's shoulder
"Says the one who is just as loud as we are, I've heard when someone says that you're wrong about something, you tend to, how you say?...Yell a lot" Alex rubbed the spot were Lafayette had hit him "true" Alex said smiling, Lafayette rolled his eyes but couldn't help but smile from how smart and dumb his friend is
When they got there Lafayette was right
Hercules and John were waiting outside
"Laf! Alex! Hey!" John waved, with a bright smile,
Alex waved back "Did you guys REALLY wait outside for an hour?" He said when they both catch up to them "Yeah, we just couldn't wait to see you! We begged Laf to bring you here" Hercules raised an eyebrow "How did you bring him here?"
Lafayette smirked
"Well, lets just say I had to do what should've been done years ago" John gasped "You threw his laptop out the window?!" Lafayette laughed "I threaten to if he didn't stop writing" Alex crossed his arms "enfoiré ..." Lafayette chuckled and patted Alex's back "Some one had to do it, lets go in side!" They all nodded and went inside
"Table for four please!" Lafayette said to the lady "Right this way!" the waiter said as she said, escorting them to a table with four chairs "I'll be back to take your order" And she left
Alex smiled "Shouldn't we have waited for Eliza so we can eat together? I mean, I bet the airplane food isn't that great" John waved it off "Don't worry! We said we would cook her something for lunch! Besides, this was meant to be for you!" Alex chuckled "You didn't have to do this for me! I would have made a sandwich or something in my dorm!" All of them scoffed
"Please Alexander, a sandwich dose not qualify as" food"." Lafayette said rolling his eyes, Alex shrugged "What ever rocks you're boat"
After they ordered their drinks they started to talk more
"What are you writing about that takes you five days non-stop to write? It can't be an exam or homework" John said after drinking his (Fourth cup) of warm coffee. Alex smiled poking the ice in his water with his straw "It's nothing really." He said, still poking the ice in his cup "It dose not look like it is nothing" Lafayette said with a raised eyebrow Alex chuckled "I was just writing an argument for history, Washington had given us papers called "Washington's land", he said we can give our opinions, and well, no one in class said anything so I said "why not make a national bank?" but then Thomas -Fucking-Jefferson disagreed with my opinion so we started an argument, and I think our argument lasted like, twenty minutes or something so Mr. Washington said we could argue on other day, since we were taking to long. So he said we should write about the flaw of the others argument and also say why the others argument is wrong. Any way what did you guys want to or-"
Alex saw all of them with their mouth open
"uh, guy-"
"I'm sorry, I got lost on "Thomas-Fucking-Jefferson"..."
Lafayette interrupted. John chuckled "That sounds like a handful Alex, are you sure you don't want to take a two day break or something?" John said with a worried expression. "Hell, make that a week, you've been writing non-stop for five days, you should relax, enjoy the world around you" Hercules said with a smile
"Yeah but the worlds not going to know who I am! Want history to paint a picture of me! I want the world to know look at me like "You see? That's Alexander Hamilton! He's the one who was part of making history!" I want to be in a history book! The world needs to know That I exists! I want to be known, and how will I be known when I haven't even gratitude in college! History has its eyes on me! And I am not throwing away my shot!" Alex was standing up buy the time he was done. And all of them were surprised once again at how amazing their friend was
John stood up and raised his cup of water (That he didn't even touch, until now)
"I am not throwing away my shot!"
Lafayette stood up raising his cup in the air
"Mon ami, I am not throwing away my shot!"
Hercules gave out hearty laughed
"I am not throwing away my shot!"
"Genuineness, lower your voices. Everyone is staring!" Burr whispered loudly at them
Lafayette rolled his eyes
"You are the worst, Burr"
"Yeah, Have you heard of something called "Living a little"? " John said sticking out his tongue like a kid
It's probably the coffee...
Alex chuckled "What brings you here? Going out with someone?"
Burr scoffed "What makes you think that?" Lafayette smiled "ooh, he IS on a date! Tell me mon ami. Who is she? What dose elle like?" Lafayette wiggled his eyebrows. Burr huffed "If I was, it wouldn't be any of you guys business. I'm just meeting up with a friend, that's all."
Lafayette walked over to Burr and wrapped an arm around his shoulder "mon ami, please, I live in France, we live and breathe love and romance" he said with a smirk. John joined in and wrapped and arm around his other shoulder "What are you trying to hide Burr?" John crooned "Nothing of you're concerns Laurens" Burr shrugged off their arms and glared at them "You keep telling yourself that Lafayette...You guys are wasting my time..." he said walking off
"Burr! Wait!"
Aaron stopped and looked at Alex
"If you are on one, good luck! Sorry about them, they're just really annoying sometime, anyway, whoever she is, she's very lucky! I should know because we're friends right? I mean, if you want to be friends that is, but of course if you don't WANT to then you know, that's totally fine! You know! But of course if you don't want to then-oh god, I'm rambling again aren't I?"
"Alex-"
"I know, I know. Talk le-"
"I was going to say thank you" Aaron smiled
Which was very rare for Aaron Burr to do,
A real one, not a fake one like the "Talk less, Smile more" Kind of smile,
An actual genuine smile
Alex patted Aarons shoulder "I hope this girl will make you happy Burr..."
"Yo Alex! The foods here!" John yelled out
Aaron chuckled "I hope so to, now get back to your loud-mouthed friends" Alex smiled and walked back
"oh, and Alex?"
Alex stopped and looked back
"Talk. Less." Aaron said slowly. Alex chuckled
Typical Burr
"Well we still have a few minutes to spare for her to get her luggage" Hercules said while driving
"Why don't we go and order coffee at the Starbucks there!" Laurens said, John always had coffee everyday, which is why he's so jumpy and excited all the time
"John, didn't you just have coffee? You ordered like six! You need to lay low on the caffeine" Lafayette said while posting another picture of himself on Instagram
John rolled his eyes "Says the person who post pictures of almost EVERYTHING that he sees on Instagram and twitter" Lafayette "humped" and crossed his arms. Alex chuckled "Okay, can we just agree, that all of us are addicted to something? Like John is addicted to coffee, Laf is addicted to taking photos and posting it on almost every social Medea app on earth, Herc is addicted to working-"
"Alex is addicted to writing to much" they all said at the same time
Alex chuckled "Okay, I guess it can be addicting sometimes" Lafayette rolled his eyes, "please mon ami, you write day and night you can even write for WEEKS if someone told you to" John's phone ringed, John took out his phone to see who texted him and then he frowned when he read the message
"Who texted you?" Alex asked curiously, John just smiled "It's nothing! Just, my sister, anyway, what were we talking about?"
"John, tell Alex here that even John Adams takes a break every once an a while" Lafayette pleaded, Alex just rolled his eyes "John, tell Laf that John Adams lacks on writing" John chuckled "John Adams DOSE take a break once and a while, but Alex is right, he does lack on writing-"
"I know that! But he works, doesn't he? He's like, what, the head of the literature club? I mean, that has to be hard right?" John scoffed "Not hard for Alex that's for sure" Lafayette rolled his eyes "Of course not for Alex, but you know, like for the normal human brain?" Alex smirked "Are you saying I don't have a "Normal" Human brain?" Heracles groaned "There goes that cockiness again" They all chuckled "I'm not cocky, I just have-"
"A big ego?"
They all said at the same time, Alex chuckled "I guess you can say that, but no, really, What are we going to do?"
it was silent for a while, until Alex rolled his eyes
"Ugh, you guys are useless, fine, we're going to the library!" He announced, Heracles groaned "Why the library of all places?" Lafayette raised an eyebrow "I thought you liked livres?"
"Yeah, comic books" John said for Heracles,
"So, basically you like books with pictures?"
"And badass fighting!"
Alex sighed "Okay then"
Then it was silent...
again...
John rolled his eyes and turned on the radio
"What are you doing?" Lafayette said after posting another picture on his phone. John smirked "What, don't like music?" Lafayette scoffed "I do, just that I actually liked the- how you say...Quietness..." John rolled his eyes "What ever"
After a few songs played, one song in particular played which caught Alex's ear
"Could you turn it up please?"
"Non! Turn it down!"
John smirked and ignored Lafayette (Just to annoy him) and did what Alex requested
And then there was one part of the song that took all of them by surprise
" I was broken from a young age taking my sulking to the masses writing my poems for the few that look at me, took from me, shook at me, feelin' me singin' from heartache from the pain takin' my message from the veins speakin' my lesson from the brain seein' the beauty through the, Pai-" Alex stopped and noticed that they were staring at him
"Uh...did I say something wrong?"
"You-how-"
"How did you rap that so fast?! I mean, I can barely make out a word he's saying!" John said, Alex shrugged "I don't know, I just learned how to when I was a kid. Nothing special really." John eyes widen
Nothing special?! Dude! You can rap as fast as Eminem!" Alex raised an eyebrow "What, you mean those little candy guys that talk in-"
"No!" They all yelled
He held up hands in defiance "Woah, Chill!"
"We're talking about the rapper Eminem mon ami, you know, slim shady?"
Alex rasied an eyebrow and scoffed "Oh, him? Tch, I'm no where close to him"
"You are close, you'll probably rap faster then him!" John said with a stupid grin on his face, Alex chuckled then smiled
"What ever you say"
When they got there, Hamilton instantly went to one of the book section and picked out a random book
"Someone's in a hurry" Hercules said, taking his time to look threw books, Alex just shook his head. John sat next to him, looking at one of the pages he was on
"What are you reading?" He asked,"hm?" Alex looked up and saw him staring at the page he was on "Oh, nothing special, just a French book I came across" John raised an eyebrow "What's it called?"
"Mon cher, Je suis une chat"
John nodded "Do not know what that means, but okay" John said with a smile, Alex chuckled "It means "My dear, I am a cat". " John burst out laughing, Alex soon followed suit laughing along with him until Lafayette and Hercules shushed them
But even so they both laughed silently.
After a few minutes passed, they got a text from Eliza that she was at Starbucks at the airport waiting for them, so they went to go pick her up
"Hey Alex"
"Hm?"
"Since you like rapping and stuff, why not write you own rap?"
Hercules and Lafayette yelled "No!" John raised an eyebrow "Why not?"
"Because, mon ami, we are suppose to be encouraging him NOT to write, not encouraging him to write MORE!" Lafayette said, and Hercules nodded in agreeing with him. John rolled his eyes "Let him live guys! If he likes writing then he likes writing!" Hercules sighed
"We aren't saying he should stop writing,"
"We are just, how do you say...saying that he should stop writing to much, I mean, he hasn't been sleeping or eating that much for five days straight! We're just worried mon ami"
Alex sighed, then smiled at them "Fine, I'll take a break for a while, and I might think about doing it, when I have some spare time so I can think of lyrics" John smiled "How about you start your break tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?! I-I can't! I mean, I still have that argument I haven't finished! And, oh god, I have to finish it! Guys, I can-"
"No! You will take a break mon ami!" Lafayette said, with a demanding look only a parent would give to tell their kids they're grounded or they did something that they were not suppose to do or something. But Laf sighed "After you are done with your argument, You will take a break, Understood?" Laf said sternly, Alex smiled
"Oui!"
