Ashburnum → is a fictional college in NY

story is set in the early 2000s

focus is on:

friend group 1. milo, derrick, leon, marcelo

friend group 2. brody, dean, rex, westie

milo: plays both football and soccer. social status is thru the roof, he’s on good terms with everybody (or, at least, tries to be. westie is jealous that milo’s got it all going for him but uses the excuse that he thinks his whole demeanor is an act and dislikes it).

westie’s tried to completely take down his reputation by starting multiple bizarre rumors, really goes to show how insecure he is and how he can’t even face milo. derrick and leon conducted an investigation together immediately to figure out who did it, and sure enough it came to light in no time

l: we ought to start some shitty rumor about YOU if you're gonna pull something so stupid out of your ass

d: relax, although it was completely out of line we have to be the bigger person. [to westie]: just know that it’s pathetic

brody: he just wants to be in the music biz. if it doesn’t work out (spoiler alert it doesn’t) he wants to do something in the medical field (influenced by his mom) he’s invested in his studies and tries his best (on honor roll - straight A’s). he tucks away his emotions and is often seen as doesn’t GAF (much like leon) except he *actually does*. a lot ...

takes the hardcore studying as an escape from reality/a way to get shit off his mind and what really allows him to keep so composed. the only two people that he can completely confide in and who truly understand what brody is feeling deep down are milo & dean.

he’s naturally so patient, it’s kinda unbelievable how he can keep his cool with his friends, considering how unhinged they are

when leon isn’t there to take shit out on westie for hating on milo for no reaso...
