[ sydney sweeney , cis female , she/her. ] ⸻ have you seen skyler cameron? yes, the twenty three year old / junior that’s usually wandering around campus? they’re currently focused on fine arts, so we’re sure they’ve been super busy with studying. according to rumors, they were michael’s ex girlfriend and he knew they [ redacted ]. does it make sense considering they’re known for being captivating as well as reckless? either way, the phantom is threatening to bring scary things to light, but let’s hope whatever they’re hiding stays in the dark.

ABOUT SKYLER: Glitter and crimson, fighting the friction, what a perfect mess.

Skyler was born and raised in the Upper East Side of New York with both her parents and sister. Her Mom, a well known face around the world for retiring from the modeling world to style them, met a man traveling the globe as a musician. Liam was nowhere near as successful as his wife, but somehow two opposites managed to maintain a marriage and start a very creative family. The Cameron girls grew up surrounded by music and lavish parties, it wasn’t long until Skyler realized how much she loved to sing. Her sister and father would play instruments and she’d dance around the living room and sing for them, loving that this seemed to turn into a weekly tradition. She fell in love with being in the spotlight, though she quickly stuck to only singing in the shower once she saw how talented her sister was with music as a way to give each of them something to allow them to shine differently but together. As a young girl Skyler would sneak into her mother’s closet when they had a gala or late night function the girl’s weren’t old enough to attend and spend hours staring at the shoes, perfecting the art of walking in heels by the age of 5. The sneaking continued as she’d venture into her mom’s workshop and “borrow” designs off her rack for parties, being sure to put the items back before morning. Skyler was always drawn to fashion, wearing it, creating it…you name it. She was happy to pick up another passion that’d look good on her college applications alongside acting, getting the chance to design costumes for her onstage performances didn’t hurt either. When she was finally able to go to all the events she’d study what everyone was wearing, learning what was popular and using it to start designing her own clothes in secret, not wanting her mother’s influence to smother her. She never thought she was any good, so for a while she stuck to drawing anything she could: fruit, people, nature. anything that didn’t involve clothes, but she always found herself coming back. It wasn’t until she met (wanted muse connection) that he truly got her to start honing her craft and focusing on what mattered to her most. As Skyler entered university, she saw herself debating between her desires, seeing as fashion would lead her directly under her mother’s shadow and that’s something she’s still striving to steer far away from. She’s always loved her mother’s designs but knew a developed career would involve Skyler working under her and not getting to experience the real world on her own. The spark for acting came back bigger and stronger than ever, resulting in the blonde signing up for every production Golden State had to offer. Skyler never got the chance to focus on her own feelings while tip-toeing around her mother’s, now as she stepped into university life she was left without Diana's constant stare. The further she pushed herself into the world of acting was an opportunity to pull her future back into her own hands. It was going to come down to her decision, right?

nevaeh was a good student but god, did she hate studying. it felt like she couldn't retain any information like she used to be able to. she decided to take a break from studying and read a book for fun, something she hadn't done in a while. while she was reading, she saw someone sit next to her. she put a bookmark on the page she was on and closed the book, turning to face skyler. "hey. how have you been, since you know...everything?" she was jealous of skyler, though she'd never admit it. because skyler got to have michael in the way nevaeh never could but craved. but she was genuinely interested to see how skyler had been since michael's death.

skylercameron

Skyler looked up from her things, offering Nevaeh a polite smile at the sound of her voice. It was difficult to not think of Michael, even now with so much time passing. He wasn't the best boyfriend, but no matter how hard she tried the soft spot for him remained — he wasn't as bad as he made himself out to be. "I've been okay, even with everything going on in my life it's hard to not think about it, you know?" She questioned before shaking her head. "Don't let that kill the mood of being back though, how was your summer?"

Asher sits across from her, shaking his head a little at the fact she was able to somehow con her way into getting a grilled cheese sandwich. He leans his arms down against the surface of the table, plucking a french fry here and there was she worked on tearing open the packaging of the hot grilled cheese. He presses his lips together, almost ready to tell her she should wait to take a bite because it's going to burn her tongue but instead says nothing.

He breathes out a chuckle, one that may not have sounded like a chuckle but more like a huff or a scoff. "You are impatient," he mutters as he reaches for his coke, raising it up to his lips and taking a sip of it. "So, what's this thing you were in need of help with?" He arches a brow. The two decided to grab a bite since she had some of her roommates over.

“Would it kill you to be a little sympathetic? My tongue is wounded.” Skyler teased, looking up to meet his eyes. She’d never admit to her invitation stemming from the simple fact of enjoying his company, Asher didn’t need to know. She took a moment to blow on the sandwich, ensuring that her next bite would be painless.

Blue hues glanced up at him before her head followed. “It sucks that my roommates were around, it’ll be difficult for you to help me with everyone there.” A small smirk spread across her features as the words left her lips. “Is your room usually empty right now?”

declan noticed skylar's momentary pause before she glanced up at him. her playful reply and slight smile caught him off guard, easing his tension. "yeah, grilled cheese is hard to resist," he responded, mirroring her playful demeanor. "i went with something less adventurous—a burger and fries," he added with a chuckle, taking a seat across from her.

he debated briefly whether to broach the obvious topic between them but decided against it at the last moment, opting for casual conversation instead. "so, how was your summer?" he asked, aiming to keep things light. "do anything exciting?"

skylercameron

Skyler allowed her eyes to meet his for a moment, looking away once he opened his mouth to speak. “Finally, someone gets it.” She teased, unable to keep the smile from appearing on her face. “Not very adventurous, but delicious. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with the combination of a burger and fries — it’s a classic.”

She offered him a small smile as he sat across from her, fighting the urge to reach for one of the fries in question. “Summer wasn’t too bad, busy — between surfing, drawing, and avoiding from my mom.” A laugh left her lips before she brought the sandwich back to them, She was thankful for the casual conversation. “What about you?”

"Honestly, they might just be haters because it's not the cat portrayal they wanted. Assuming they've seen any other Batman movies." And just like that, her inner geek was beginning to show and it forces her to let out a quick chuckle.

"Trust me. I don't even want to know," she joins in on the distaste, leaning back on her spot on the grass before turning her head toward Skylar, "But hey! To each their own, I guess. I'm just happy you're not a fellow hater because we would've had to reevaluate this entire friendship. I can't be friends with Halle Berry haters."

skylercameron

“Those are exactly the kinds of people we don’t want in our lives. What were they expecting? The cat in the hat?” She questioned with a shake of her head before joining her friend on the grass. “I guess.” Skyler agreed. “They just won’t be invited if we ever get a Batman movie marathon going. That’s their loss.” She took a moment to stretch out her legs and cross one over the other. “I’m happy too, it would have sucked if one of us had horrible movie opinions.”

“That’s what you get for ordering a grilled cheese at a cookout,” Lany remarks, having popped into the line a mere seconds before — though, she’s been standing there long enough to see what happened. Her words are teasing and if the grin on her lips wasn’t enough to notice, the soft chuckle that soon falls out of her should give it away.

“All the food options and that’s what you went for? You need to live a little, Cameron.”

skylercameron

“When has a grilled cheese ever been a bad decision? This doesn’t count.” Skyler questioned before letting a laugh escape her lips, she regretted nothing about her decision. “Come on, do you know how hard it was to get one of these?” The playful tone in her voice was evident. “What would you consider living a little at a cookout?”

Many students had been treating the water slides like the quad was an actual water park. Rezan had been actively avoiding the area yet still managed to get a little damp as careless peers were running around and yelling. You’d almost think this was an elementary school. Huffing in amusement, she shook her head and continued walking around. She occasionally greeted a few familiar faces she came across, and then paused when she noticed Skyler wolfing down a sandwich. Eyes met and Rezan couldn’t stop the soft laugh. “An interesting choice,” she commented, taking a seat beside her friend.

Raising an eyebrow, she hummed in thought. “Hmm, is this what you’re considering for a debate team project? A presentation on why grilled cheese should be provided at cookouts as a default choice?”

skylercameron

The question was enough to get the blonde to laugh, she looked over at her friend before shrugging her shoulders. “Not originally, but I think it could work.” Skyler set the sandwich down, giving Rezan her full attention. “Think about it, who can honestly ignore the craving for cheese? There’s so many people that eat it while being lactose intolerant — It should be another cookout option.” Now she didn’t know if she’d actually turn this into a debate project, but she couldn’t ignore that her statement kind of made sense.

declan sat quietly at a nearby table, his gaze drifting absentmindedly across the campus grounds. although he'd returned to gsu several days ago, he still felt like he was readjusting. the semester break had hardly been restful, burdened as he was with unresolved tensions.

his eyes roamed the area until they settled on skyler. she sat alone, fully engrossed in her grilled cheese sandwich. a pang of emotion hit him as he watched her. confusion dominated his thoughts whenever he saw skyler lately; she had been avoiding him ever since, responding to his attempts to reconnect with polite but distant resistance.

summoning courage, he took a deep breath and rose from his seat, deciding to approach her. "that's an interesting choice," he remarked, trying to mask his nervousness. "though i have to say, i'm surprised you managed to get one," he added, offering a tentative smile. "do you mind if i join you?"

skylercameron

The blonde fanned off her mouth, though she’d be damned if it stopped her from taking another bite. The sudden sound of his voice made her freeze, just brief enough for it to not be obvious. Declan’s voice is one she knew well, but she’d been trying to keep her distance.

“I just couldn’t resist cheese grilled between two pieces of bread.” Her voice was playful as she tilted her head up to look at him. “I guess you could say I’m pretty persuasive.” Shrugging she offered him a small smile. “Oh — not at all, there’s plenty of room. What did you grab?”

location: gsu, main library.

she hadn’t talked to anyone all summer, opting to isolate & ignore her texts or phone calls — it was easier that way. aj’s grief had peaked at the end of the spring semester, just around what would have been she + michael’s anniversary, if they had been together for another year. that was when she closed in on herself; doubled down on studying & was rarely seen practicing her volleyball skills at the recreation center.

she thought that if she hid, no one would ask her how she was or how her summer went. of course, when hiding in plain sight, that wasn’t an option. the feeling of somebody’s presence removes her from her reverie, brown hues coming in contact with the figure standing near her.

reluctantly, aj broke the silence, “uhm — hey.”

She wasn’t going to allow herself to start schoolwork, not yet. The start of the semester was fresh and there was no need to rush — still she planned on taking advantage of the nearly empty library and get the books she’d need so she wouldn’t have to do it later.

“Hey, AJ — you avoiding the masses too?”

Open Starter Location: The Corner

Another semester was beginning, and Leo was anxious to see the GSU once again filled to the brim with life. Other students were all moving into their dorms, reconnecting with old friends, finding their way around. It was nerve wracking.

He couldn't bear the idea of being asked how his summer was, having to give a generic answer.

"I was at an internship, I barely went outside."

Instead he tried to find himself a spot at The Corner, to lurk a little longer before facing his housing assignment. He ordered a coffee, though when his name was called and he was handed a smoothie. He looked at it for a long moment, too uncomfortable to correct the person who had made it.

Instead he turned to the person closest to him.

"This uh... this is not what I ordered... do you want this?"

skylercameron

At first glance she could see something was — off. The color of her coffee normally wasn’t that light, a clear sign that her tastebuds might not agree with the creation. She didn’t want to bother the barista with remaking it, not with the growing line that was forming behind her — she’d give it a go.

The sound of a nearby voice turned her head, her eyes meeting his before looking down at the drink in question and back again. “Not big on smoothies?” Skyler asked. “Want to trade? I’m not going to drink this.”

Another semester, there was always a weird adjustment to settle back into dorm life, but Skyler couldn’t help but feel relief as her shoes clicked against the familiar pavement. The amounts of course work that would soon flood her desk would be worth it, the blonde was free from the pair of eyes that judged every movement she made.

It wasn’t something she needed to worry about anymore, gone, the thought didn’t matter. Skyler looked around the welcoming set up at gsu and spotted that the line for food was nonexistent. Sure, she knew grilled cheese wasn’t typically served at a cookout, thankfully they were willing to make an exception.

Her stomach growled, almost as if on cue as the wrapped sandwich came into view. She took off with it to the nearest table and immediately tore open the packaging to take a bite. “Ouch. Hot” She began, exhaling while the warm cheese slightly burnt the roof of her mouth due to her impatience and swallowed. “Fuck.” The blonde continued before meeting someone’s gaze. “It just smelled too good.”

"You know, I'm actually offended that they consider Cat Woman to be a bad movie. I loved this movie growing up. It was practically one of my favorites."

skylercameron

“If that’s the Cat Woman portrayal that warrants a bad movie, I’m not looking forward to seeing the lineup that’s going to follow. It’s a nostalgic classic.”
