  ❛ ✶ ( ZENDAYA COLEMEN , CISFEMALE , SHE/HER )  —  did you see EMMA WOODS walking around campus earlier ? i hear a lot of people talking about the TWENTY-ONE year old JUNIOR . from what i know , they are studying FASHION DESIGN and are a part of OMEGA ALPHA PI . they come across as CHARMING but also POSSESSIVE , which makes sense because on their instagram ( @EMWOODS ) it says they are a SCORPIO . when i see them , i think of UNFINISHED BOOKS , TOO MANY TABS , MISSED CALLS AT 2AM & SMUDGED MASCARA . the most interesting thing i’ve heard about them though , is the fact that [ REDACTED ] , but don’t tell anyone i told you that .

nate woke up hungover from the night before which wasn’t much of a surprise to him. he walked to the fridge searching for a gateraid, and let out a sigh when he couldn’t find any. he pulled out his phone, and then decide that walking to the nearest store would be the easiest option. he looked down on his phone, and then felt his body collide into someone else’s. “shit, sorry about that.”

it occurred to emma that she didn’t have much food that belonged to her back in the sorority and instead of doing a big food shop order online, she decided a pudding from the local store on campus would suffice. while walking back from campus and munching into her pudding with the plastic spoon that came with it, she suddenly was colliding into someone. and tragically, some of her pudding falling onto the other person’s top. “is it time for me to say sorry now? don’t get me wrong -- normally i would but all day i have been craving some pudding and now half of it rests on you.” emma couldn’t help but let out a small laugh, reaching into her back pocket for some tissues although it probably won’t help much.

while most people would generally be irritated with a job that forced them up in the small hours of the morning, aaron couldn’t be too mad at it. the only other people who were awake at this time were business and law majors who hadn’t slept all night, and were depending on their morning hit of adderall to get them through the day’s classes. and that was where they came in. just so long as selling to rich kids kept the money flowing, aaron would continue to make their drops at the the high rise apartments a few blocks east of campus.

they were debating going straight back to the sigma tau house ( god, and face silas’ snoring? not likely. ) when they stumbled upon a figure outside omega alpha pi. frowning, aaron clicked pause on their early morning playlist, checking the time. too early for other students, at least not the ones they usually ran into around this time. they plucked an earbud as the girl spoke, squatting to sit underneath a tree next to her chosen bench and propping their messenger bag up next to them. “working, actually. gotta get that paper, right? the grind never stops,” they informed her, inclining a sardonic nod at her sketchpad. “isn’t that what you’re doing?”

emma chuckled, nodding at him and considered how lucky she was to get monthly payments from her parents to stay afloat. their priority was studies first over working for little pay at a coffee shop but emma would prefer to work for her own money than feel guilty when she doesn’t live up to their ‘standards’. “oh, yeah? where do you work?” she responded before glancing down at her notepad, running a hand through her hair to let out a little frustration. 

“well -- it’s what i’m trying to do. thought coming outside before everyone else might inspire, something. fashion design ain’t as glamorous as it looks.” it’s very easy to look at fashion as fun, which it can be, but there is it’s downs like any other course on campus. another thing her parents didn’t quite understand.

silas was busy scrolling through one of his workout playlists when he heard someone’s voice. at first he ignored emma, assuming she was talking to someone else, but as he glanced up and realized no one else was around, he stopped in his tracks. “oh. uh… i needed fresh air, so i figured i’d go for a run. helps clear a hangover and all that.” he had a feeling that wasn’t entirely true, but he knew that if he kept his body busy, maybe his mind would be distracted from the events of last night as well. “what about you?” he propped his foot up on the edge of the bench she was seated on, getting in a quick stretch and giving a quick nod towards the book on her lap. "what’s with the notepad?” 

emma opened up her notepad up, flicking through the pages quickly enough but still time for silas to get a glance at her work. emma was pretty private about her fashion designs unless it she was wearing it or in the safety of her professors files. the fashion industry is brutal, so she wouldn’t put it past her classmates to sabotage one another. “just me scribbling down some new ideas, figuring out finishing touches before i start sewing up another outfit.” she responded, shrugging light before asking, “how about you, silas? what’s your classwork been like so far? sometimes i forgot i’m not the only student who has endless amounts of work with impossible deadlines.”

when ryan woke up that morning , which was 𝓈𝓊𝓇𝓅𝓇𝒾𝓈𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓁𝓎 early , he rolled out of bed and took a quick shower . it seemed like the whole world was dead at this point , like it was a zombie game or something . grabbing his stuff on the desk , he put his phone in his back pocket and his keys in his jacket pocket . walking over to where his skateboard and helmet was , he grabbed the frame off it and exited the room . it didn’t take him too long to get out of the building and onto the sidewalk . honestly , he had no idea where he was going ; he just needed some fresh air , truth be told . 

putting the helmet on , he jumped onto the board and pushed back with his foot , which resulted in him 𝒻𝓁𝓎𝒾𝓃𝑔 down the street . as he kept going , ryan went towards ᴏᴍᴇɢᴀ ᴀʟᴘʜᴀ ᴘɪ and when he did , he saw someone sit on the bench outside of the sorority house . as he came up alongside the bench , ryan jumped off the board and kicked it up so he could grab it with his hand, “ early riser . 𝓊𝓈𝓊𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 i sleep the whole day , but for some reason , i couldn’t sleep in today . what about you ? ”

“trying to get some ideas to sketch for class, no time to sleep in when you study fashion design, unfortunately. we’re all chasing each other to become the next big ‘ hit ’.” emma replied, flipping her sketchpad to face ryan to show him some sketches. “as you can see i have...nada.” a blank page. impressive, really, emma usually has endless ideas flowing through her brain -- it’s normally the reason she doesn’t attend every party, wanting to scribble down her vision before it’s gone. but lately it’s like she is going through a drought with ideas, but what can you expect from somebody that spends their life studying? it is no surprise by spending all her days within the walls of the omega alpha pi house, nothing is inspiring her right now. “however your skater boy vibes might give me something to work with, you’re the first person that’s passed me all morning and probably will be for awhile.”

lucas was reasonably certain, as soon as he woke up, that he was going to die right here in these sheets. everything hurt, so bad he couldn’t even fall back to sleep. it was like a hell designed specifically for him. so, he eventually rolled out of bed, pulling on a pair of sweatpants and a big hoodie, and scrounging around for far too long for a pair of sunglasses. he knew he’d need them, even inside the phi kappa delta house. he managed to brew himself a cup of coffee when he heard someone coming down the stairs. fearing it could be elliot (he did not want to go over what happened last night with him), lucas was quick to leave the house.

the fresh air was an excellent change of pace, and he breathed in deep, taking it all in. upon seeing emma, though, he slowed down, peering at her from behind his sunglasses, coffee mug still in hand. lucas was suddenly and keenly aware that the mug said holy shift! look at the asymptote on this motherfunction! he hid it in his hand. “early riser,” he muttered, coming up to her. “i mean, i tried to fall back to sleep, but… i dunno. what about you?”

emma lifted her belongings off the bench to make room for lucas to sit if he wanted to by placing them on her lap, it was only a few sketching pencils and colours anyways -- yet held back from asking him to do so. “early riser myself but it definitely helps that i didn’t wake up with a hangover, just an urge to draw some new designs for class.” she responded, lifting her sketchpad to reveal a blank page. “...more like waiting for some inspiration, thought watching hungover college students stumble home might encourage some drawings -- maybe you’ll be my next muse?” emma joked, studying from his unkempt hair to his baggy sweatpants. 

emma could only imagine her professors eyes bulging from their heads if her next portfolio that she handed in was based on ‘ hungover students ‘. however she was stumped for ideas lately and maybe this idea was better than none. emma could imagine herself hours from now watching popular fashion show reruns for anything at all. there was barely any time at all to get ideas prepared for class, yet she was here with none. the miracle she would need now to ace the next workload would want to arrive anytime soon to submit it in time.

emma surprised herself when she woke up with no help from an alarm clock in the early hours of the morning, while she didn’t stay at the blacklight event for long, she was nearly certain the vodka would leave her a little dizzy in the morning -- yet she rose from the bed and stretched some stiff muscles , glancing out onto the dead silent road in front of her sorority. she was probably the only person to be awake on campus, everyone hungover or still partying somewhere not far.  

emma decided to take advantage of this by getting dressed in some cozy clothes ( convinced that she would not see anybody ) and grabbing her sketchpad to find some early morning muse for some upcoming projects in class. there was never time off in any fashion design course, it’s important to always be ahead of yourself with new ideas and trends. she didn’t go further than the bench outside her sorority house , ‘omega alpha pi’ , that’s when she heard somebody coming up alongside her. “ well , here i thought i would be the only student alive this early after blacklight. you an early riser or just coming home?” she questioned, an eyebrow rising teasingly.

        he  missed  his  last  shot .  the  ping pong  ball  had  gone  off  into  the  grass .  while  their  opponents  took  a  moment  to  search  around  for  the  damn  thing ,  they  ended  up  having  to  just  grab  a  whole  new  one .  angus  turns  to  his  teammate ,  they  only  had  one  cup  left  to  take  out .  “ listen … ”  a  hand  claps  down  on  their  shoulder ,  head  tucking  down  some  in  true  pep  talk  manner .  “ you  sink  this  one ,  we  win  the  entire  game ,  baby !! ”  he  lifts  up  his  fist ,  waiting  for  them  to  bump  with  him .  “ –  no  pressure  though . ” 

[emmawwoodss]

emma doesn’t know how she got herself in this situation -- parties are suppose to be when you took a break from your ‘regular self’ and let loose yet emma’s competitive nature somehow always takes over. when she saw a game of ping pong ball happening, she couldn’t pull herself away. emma was confident in herself that she would win this game, it wasn’t often she would lose in anything but it is not everyday emma is drunk while competing. her vision and focus was not all there but her determination was, so she nodded along to angus before she turned back towards the table and pulling loose strands of hair behind her ears then letting out a slow breath. glancing back to angus one more time, she noticed his fist bump and she let out a small laugh, bumping her fist gently against him. squinting her eyes on the last remaining cup to try regain some focus back, emma bit her lower lip and threw the small ball towards the cup and hearing the successful sound of the ball hit the end of the cup and people cheer around them was enough for emma to screech in excitement. “i told you i would be a good partner for this game!” she laughed out of pure happiness, nodding at the other team for a good game. 

[boydsfm]

every single frat party lucas went to was almost like a sick joke. every single time, he told himself he would try to drink responsibly, and yet every single time, he caved to peer pressure. since everyone’s favorite game seemed to be let’s see how many shots the stickbug can take. and now, lucas ended up here, leaning against the wall with his face turned up, trying to find his bearings before taking another step. without looking forward, he tried to start walking, and almost immediately bumped into someone. “fuck, sorry,” he managed, finally looking forward, “it’s… i’m just… apparently i can’t say no to drugs.” it was the first thing he thought of, and lucas shook his head. “fuck, i meant… not drugs. alcohol. i have no drugs anywhere.”

emma was minding her own business and chatting alongside a few of her friends when she decided to go refill her drink. she came to this party with the intentions of only having a couple of drinks, to get tipsy but no further than that yet as she stumbled towards the beer keg she figured she broke her own rule, maybe an hour ago. just before arriving at the keg, someone bumped into her causing her to nearly lose her balance but emma quickly gripped onto the strangers body to stable herself. if she were sober, she wouldn’t have been so quick to nearly fall over but mixing different spirits tend to have this effect. “i’m not going to tell anybody if that’s what your worried about. think more people than you know are on drugs at this moment than anything else..” emma said, shrugging her shoulders as if it’s no big deal. she had never dealt much with drugs, maybe a little weed here and there but nothing more serious than that. “are you some type of incognito dealer or something?” she asked, squinting her eyes, trying her hardest to examine the boy that bumped into her but her vision isn’t the clearest and her head feels a little foggy to understand if she recognises him from around campus.

it was elliot’s first party since arriving at beaumont. he was excited because so many people had mentioned it to him during the week and its what mostly people were talking about when he walked around campus. he had heard that american college parties were different to how they would party in london but that didn’t matter he knew he would have a great time. meeting new people, drinking, creating new memories. once he arrived he went and grabbed himself a drink. as he took a sip of the punch that definitely had vodka and some other sort of alcohol in it he noticed a familar face. “hey, wanna drink?” he asked. 

[emmawwoodss]

emma was surprised to find herself at the blacklight party on campus – it was pretty impossible to avoid but she was doing pretty well until the words on the page of her textbook began to give her a headache.  so she decided to give the party a chance, not get too drunk and be up early to study again. that was until she noticed elliot in the crowd walking towards her. she recognised him from around campus, he was a handsome guy and she had heard a few things about him from here and there but she never paid it much attention. until now. “i’d love one – but only if you cut me off after my third one. otherwise, it might get messy.” she teased, glancing around for a spare cup to fill it up with punch.

EMMA WOODS AT BLACKLIGHT PARTY, 2020.

❛ ✶ ( ZENDAYA COLEMAN , CISFEMALE , SHE/HER )  —  did you see EMMA WOODS walking around campus earlier ? i hear a lot of people talking about the TWENTY-ONE year old JUNIOR . from what i know , they are studying FASHION DESIGN and are a part of OMEGA ALPHA PI . they come across as CHARMING but also POSSESSIVE , which makes sense because on their instagram ( @EMWOODS ) it says they are a SCORPIO . when i see them , i think of UNFINISHED BOOKS , TOO MANY TABS , MISSED CALLS AT 2AM & SMUDGED MASCARA . the most interesting thing i’ve heard about them though , is the fact that [ REDACTED ] , but don’t tell anyone i told you that .

hi everyone !! i’m nicole and i am super excited to be joining you all & hope everyone is doing good. below i am just going to try n quickly give a background on emma and go more into depth on what she is like. also i am always down to plot so like this & i’ll message you or hmu and we will figure out something fun !! 

background. 

calling the ‘woods’ family workaholics would be an understatement of the century. they are the type of family that have a whole room just dedicated to showcase all their awards and achievements for everyone to see. definitely the type of parents to expect high standards from each of their children without having to tell them twice. it is no surprise that emma’s parents hinted towards the ‘omega alpha pi’ sorority as the environment is far from the party scene and almost identical to their own work ethic. 

however strict parents often create sneaky and secretive children, emma woods was no different. while it may not be a big deal for her peers to relief stress through a cigarette or partying with friends, it is for emma and it is something she tries to keep from her sorority, wanting to maintain her picture perfect image to them. regardless, emma tells herself often that those secrets are nothing compared to the biggest one she’s been keeping from everyone the second she arrived on campus. 

from a young age, emma discovered her talent for sewing which eventually turned into full fledged outfits that she would model in small town fashion competitions ( and receiving the number one trophy of course ). her talent was something she could take further than just an ordinary hobby, although her parents needed more convincing than that. emma knew she could become serious competition for the fashion industry with her innovative styles and charming attitudes. all she needed was a few years at university and her lucky break when some big time celebrity wears her outfit down the red carpet. for now she wears her own designs around campus in attempts to create hype over them and posting regular instagrams of her posing in new designs. you won’t see her around campus not looking her absolute best ( unless at the library where she pushes herself past breaking point in order to be the best in her class )

personality.

so emma is definitely a nice girl who can be quite the charmer when she wants to be - being the only girl growing up in her family didn’t help her learn that not everything is meant the go her way. this is where her possessiveness would come into play with others, not being use to rejection or in her eyes ‘losing’ would bring out a different side to emma not many are use to seeing. 

being in competition with emma would be disastrous for both sides. not only does she love competition ( mainly because she knows she’ll win, something her parents drilled into her as a child )  but she becomes extremely petty and many of her past friendships fell out because of it. she’s noted to not do competitions with friends anymore - aware that she can become a lot to handle in those scenarios and it’s best to keep her focus on competing with her fellow fashion design classmates where it’s harmless. 

sober emma is hardworking and driven, it’s almost like she doesn’t have an ‘off’ button but drunk emma is where the fun begins. she thrives in social situations yet it is almost impossible for her drunk side to appear with the heavy workload she applies to herself every night. but she could definitely be persuaded if it means wearing one of her night out designs, telling herself it’s just promoting her designs to her peers -- still counts as working, right? 

plots. 

okay the fun part begins! so when i say i am honestly down to discuss plots with everyone, i mean it lmao & if any of you think emma suits your wanted connections let me know. i am just going to throw down some random plots for now and later on i’ll add a link on my blog for more. 

just because my cliche heart loves plots such as these 

would love a romantic interest or even just frenemy to constantly challenge emma in different competitions over everything and anything. think it would be super fun to write this out and if it were a romantic interest would adore for it to be a slow burn sort of love -- fighters to lovers type of vibes. or just somebody who loves winning as much as emma does. 

friends with benefits / past flings that go back for more from time to time but emma is too busy for anything more.

best boy and girl friend who know emma more than she knows herself. these two would drag emma out to parties more than she wants to. dragging her away from her designs can be hard but these two can do it easily. 

friends who are protective of one another and only want the other to succeed. 

these plots are hardly very creative but over the next couple of days i am going to work on a ‘plots’ page on my blog. anyways i’m going to stop here before i keep rambling and get answering to some starters after i make dinner!
