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?"
the cogs in annie's brain turned slowly as she scanned the menu. she'd seen the menu hundreds of times at this point, yet she still found herself debating over what she wanted. yet, in typical annie fahsion, was this also a way of procrastinating unpacking? yes. yes it was.
annie placed her order - a simple strawberry banana smoothie. she pulled out her phone, scrolling through various social media apps as she waited. she heard her name called, taking a warm cup of coffee from the barista.
she looked down at it, her brows furrowing. a voice caught her attention and she turned around. "i think they confused our orders," annie said, a small smile growing on her face. she held out the cup of coffee. "did you get a coffee?"

noah pulled her final suitcase along behind her, hating how it rattled against the cobblestones and made it that much harder to maneuver. luckily her dad had already brought most of her things in to her dorm and she was only stuck with the lighter items. she was already visualizing her dorm decor and mentally planning on shooting off multiple texts to meet up with the friends she'd missed so much. obviously cole would be first. obviously. she looked up from shoving her bag over a notch in the ground when she spotted him. speak of the devil and he shall appear as the most gorgeous best friend anyone's ever had the pleasure of having. fuck the suitcase. noah let it drop to the ground as she catapulted herself at cole, borderline squealing. she wrapped her arms around him tightly, unable to contain her excitement. "okay listen, i'm not completely sure, but i think i totally just manifested you," she teased, pulling away to look at his face. "i missed you! next time, i'm convincing my dad to let me pack you in my suitcase. mark my words," she laughed, unable to contain her happiness and excitement. "how are you? are you all moved in? tell me everything."
one of the bright sides to having rigid parents was their need to always be early. their words echoed in cole's ears - early is on time, on time is late, and if you're late, don't even show up. as such, he had already finished setting up his dorm for the most part and was wandering around campus, saying hi to those he knew and sometimes even those he didn't. his mind was focused on finding one person in particular: noah. and in divine timing, his gaze fell upon his best friend, his eyes lighting up as he embraced her back. "honestly, it might've been both of us manifesting each other," cole said, letting out a laugh and grinning at her as he let her pull back. "i missed you too! and trust me, if i could fit in your suitcase, i'd already be in there." at her questions, cole's smile grew yet again. "i'm good! all moved in, so if you need help getting set up," he flashed her some finger guns. "i'm your guy!"

annabelle grace murphy was born to unknown parents, adopted by her moms at age two.
always complimented on her hair and freckles, annabelle was scouted to be a child model at the age of seven.
she started going by annie around age nine, inspired by the musical. annie would not respond when someone said 'annabelle' or 'anna.'
she was never particularly popular, but not considered unpopular. annie had a bunch of friends scattered over different groups of people.
her grades were above average throughout middle school and high school, she never participated in any sports or clubs.
annie found a solid group of friends by going to the skate park by her house.
after graduating, she took a gap year to focus on modeling. her parents insisted she go to college and offered to pay, so she decided to attend golden state.
currently, annie is still modeling to earn money. she can be found smoking weed in places she probably shouldn't or at the area's bars and clubs.
headcanons
annie is that cool stoner girl who everyone thinks is so chill and non judgmental but she will talk shit about you the second you leave.
she tends to sleep with married people or those in relationships because she just wants to see if she can do it. she'll always ghost them after.
she has no plans of going into the psychology field once she graduates, she plans on modeling for as long as she can.
she's mostly just getting her degree as a back up plan, plus she really wanted to experience college life.
annie started skateboarding at fourteen to impress a girl she liked, but ended up liking it so much that she continued to skateboard. she still does today.
she started smoking weed when she was sixteen, it's an embarrassingly large part of her personality.
wanted connections
skateboarding buddies!! one or two people who always go on little skating adventures with her.
a best friend!! her ride or die, one of the only people she's genuine to & they know it.
an ex best friend too!! someone who she was super fake towards a majority of their friendship, then they found out how much shit she was saying about them behind their back & they had a huge falling out.
late night sesh friend, another night owl stoner who annie thinks is cool. these two have deep philosophical conversations, annie enjoys their company.
a fwb, bonus points if these two have feelings for each other but are in denial because they think the other doesn't feel the same way.

cole was last born to an accountant father & a nurse mother.
from a young age, sports were heavily encouraged by his parents as both of them had dreams of being professional athletes, but those dreams never panned out.
cole had never wanted to be an athlete, he much preferred reading and studying to playing sports.
he was always interested in history, always reading historical fiction or historical non fiction.
he played basketball on his middle school's team, being one of two students to make it onto varsity his freshman year of high school.
his senior year of high school, he got a full athletic scholarship to golden state. he'd never seen his parents so proud.
away from his parents for the first time, cole began to finally let loose. he got back into immersing himself in history, allowing himself more free time than before.
cole quickly realized he had no idea who he was, he'd spent his whole life for his parents. now he was on his own, struggling to find an identity for himself.
he majored in psychology for a semester before switching, finally, to history. and he fell in love with it.
recently, cole's been more open about his interests. he's more comfortable in his own skin than ever before.

cole started taking performance enhancing drugs after his coach told him he was good enough to go pro. he has since stopped because he got close to getting caught.
he is biggest history nerd, he rarely shows it but if you give him the chance he'll talk your ear off about weird historical events.
cole is in his fifth year of college, he switched his major so he lacked the proper credits to graduate in four years.
he coaches ten to twelve year olds in basketball, they all think he's just the coolest dude ever.
cole is a huge animal lover, from the tiniest ant to the biggest whale in the ocean, he loves them all so much.
he hides his nerdiness from people at first, but once he gets more comfortable around someone he'll open up more.
wanted connections
his workout buddy! it can be someone on the basketball team as well, but it's not super important.
other athletes he's close to! it also doesn't have to be someone on the basketball team, i'd love to see him bond with people in other sports!!
another nerd, someone to geek out with him over anything and everything, bonus points if they get him into more nerdy things.
mutual crushes! these two r close friends but refuse to acknowledge their feelings out of fear of ruining the friendship.
an ex friend, it could be someone who judged him for taking performance enhancing drugs, but i am also open to it being for a whole separate reason!
