Finn was almost going to get to his class maybe one or two minutes late - but Rolando had stopped him in his tracks. The boy had done it again. First, the controversial tweet about strawberries ( don’t even get Finn started ) and now eating cereal and milk from the box? ( Can you say iconique? ). And when Rolando’s spoon fell into the box? This was better than any blockbuster film. Walking over to Rolando, he yelled out in jest. “Karma for hating on strawberries, I reckon!”
rolando had half a mind to just whip the box out at finn’s face and spill his precious cereal all over the guy. of course, he didn’t because one) he was a civilized human being, and two) that would have been a devastating waste of good food. “oh no, bad karma, i’m so scared, those nasty strawberries cursed me,” he sang mockingly as he reached his hand into the box for the spoon. he pulled it out triumphantly, bits of soggy cereal stuck to his hand. he flicked the pieces at finn’s face, chuckling to himself.
she had a hand holding the strap of her bag as she walked down the sidewalk, looking down on her phone, and the minute she looked up she laughed. “ what ? “ she asked, laughing again when she stopped and really saw what was in front of her. “ do i even want to know the full story behind this ? “ she asked, her hand waving around at him for her to point out what ‘this’ is.
“there’s not much of a story, pal,” rolando answered with a mouth full of cereal. he held the box close to his chest so mila’s hand wouldn’t hit it out of his grasp. “sometimes, mila, people get a little lazy. and sometimes, they opt to eat cereal and milk straight out of the box out of convenience. don’t judge me too harshly, it’ll harsh my vibes.”
LIFITING HER sunglasses up to her head, the blonde frowned watching the boy getting closer. “ew, please tell me you didn’t put milk in there. this is kinda disgusting, you know,” she said, fixing her bag on her shoulder. “what happened? you woke up late or had no clean bowl around?” it was at times like these that viviana realized that college student life was hell.
“am i supposed to just eat dry cereal? talk about ew,” rolando retorted, shoving another spoonful into his mouth with a bit more flair in viviana’s face. “am i supposed to choose between those two options? how horrendous would it be if i just said both? you know what? you pretty little face is going to judge me anyway, so--” he scooped another spoonful into his mouth defiantly before continuing his sentence, “it was both.”
AT FIRST THE PIANIST THOUGHT HE WAS SEEING THINGS, while eating dry cereal out of a cereal box wasn’t abnormal…especially on campus…pairing it with milk and a spoon? well that was extra as fuck and it had him smiling ever so slightly. though with bash it was hard to tell. “that’s fucking creative.” he said, hands shoved into the confines of his pockets, “aren’t you afraid the milk’s gonna spill out though?”
rolando gave a little shrug, tipping the box over so the guy could peer into it. “if you use the plastic bag inside, the milk’s pretty much contained.” the spoon could be seen sinking deeper into the cereal, but rolando paid no mind to it. “i mean, y’know, if some jackass biker decides to run into you, then the milk will spill out and i guess i’ll get into a fight with said jackass biker!” he called out as another biker zoomed by him.
ken had to be sleep deprived . that was the only explanation for the scene he was currently watching right now . cereal ? directly out of the box ? couldn’t be . his curiosity got the best of him , and he found himself stepping away from his normal route to detour towards the other . lo and behold , it wasn’t his mind playing tricks on him ! this dude was just innovative as all hell . “ you run outta bowls , man ? cups too ? ” he questioned , “ you didn’t even have some clean tupperware ? ”
rolando blinked a couple of times with his mouth slightly agape before snapping in fingers in a small ‘eureka!’ moment. “a cup! why didn’t i just use a reusable bottle? that’s a good idea, definitely gotta take note for next time,” he said excitedly, a big smile gracing his face. “i’m gonna be totally honest, dude, i lose tupperware on the daily. it’s like they walk off on little legs or something, y’know? that or i just leave them on a desk after i’ve eaten from it and completely forgot about it, but that seems unlikely.” the cereal in his box sloshed around as he spoke animatedly, but he wasn’t phased by it.
“ last night was going so well, yeah ? t’was aalll fine n’ peachy til somecunt decided to blast abba down the hall ! ” the blonde looks like she’s about to go postal any second now, a mixture of laughter and faux crying exiting her chapped lips. running a single hand over cascades of straight blonde hair, the girl lets out the biggest most dramatic sigh ever and slumps over her physics book. “ any chance being the dancing queen will help me pass this bloody exam ? ”
“i’m almost certain that if you get up in the middle of the exam, blast dancing queen, and get everybody to do a dance -- you’d just graduate with honors. the dean would personally come and shake your hand and all that shit,” rolando joked as he scrunched up his nose at the massive book. his eyes scanned the contents of the page, a visible shake running through his body at all of the symbols. reaching up with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, rolando poked isa on her forehead with a gratuitous chuckle. “who said it was okay to introduce symbols and letters into math? as if the numbers weren’t enough to give me stomach pains. imagine studying that for four years of your life... oh wait, you’re already doing that!”
of all of the words rolando would use to describe himself, shameful was never one of them. he scooped another spoonful of cheerio’s into his mouth before tucking the spoon back into the cardboard box. dipping to the right to dodge a biker annoyingly zooming down the sidewalk, the box of cereal jostled with a little milk spilling out. was eating out of the cereal box embarrassing? maybe. was rolando going to stop and wash a bowl with five minutes to get to class? absolutely not. “oh f--” he muttered when he realized the spoon slipped further into the box.
( CISMALE. HE/HIM ) you know ROLANDO ZAVALA, right? they’re TWENTY-ONE and majoring in COMMUNICATIONS? still nothing? well, they look exactly like FROY GUTIERREZ, so you can’t miss them. i’ve heard they’re really ARDENT, but super PERFIDIOUS too… it makes perfect sense that they’re a CANCER. anyways, if you see them, tell them they left their GUITAR PICK in class and that i have it.

rolando zavala does not care to be at somerset (no offense to somerset, it’s a great school), but here he is, a communications major
he still doesn’t really know what his major encompasses
he dreams of being the lead singer of a pop punk band -- music is everything to him, and quite frankly, it’s the only thing he really connects with, people included
right now, he moonlights as a club dj and makes an appearance at poppin’ frat parties every now and then
i guess he lives a pretty hedonist lifestyle. he feels like everything is temporary and life is too short to be weighed down by things that don’t make you happy. (that being said, he’s at somerset so his parents can continue to love him and feed him, so you gotta make a couple of sacrifices to enjoy what you want)
he’s a golden retriever mixed with the stupid frat guy who’s passed out in the front yard
he’s never had a serious romantic relationship. he has a tendency to sleep around, although he makes his intentions clear.
he tends to bounce around friend groups as well, often times getting bored with them pretty quickly.
he’s the type of guy who only has strong attachments to a select few people, and he’s pretty picky about who he lets see his vulnerabilities
this could go on forever, feel free to message me/like this and we can elaborate and get the party started (~:
