he catches a glimpse of dark locks rounding the corner , swinging ponytail following every beat of her step . he picks up something she’s dropped , like a trail that leads to her . he’s not used to holding it , only used to seeing it being waved in the air from the sidelines . he pokes his head around the corner , holding up the pompom , “ hey , valentine , ” he calls down the hallway , “ think you dropped this . ” he waves it in the air , a grin falling onto his lips as he waits for her to come back to him . “ skip practice , ” he says when she’s finally close enough , holding the pompom out of her reach . “ you’re going to be cheering for a losing team for another 4 weeks . kinda pointless to practice for that if you ask me . ” he lifts a shoulder to end his remark , dripping in the kind of confidence that only roo could get away with .

perhaps frankie wasn’t billings and perhaps she should be using the student gym but sharing was caring right ? besides she did her best to stay on billings students good side . in the middle of taking a photo for her story ( she did use the gym for more than just show ) she doesn’t notice roo till he speaks , swirling around and offering him a quick smile “ and ? ” she questions feigning confusion . “ i’ve been told you all consider me an honorary billings member . ” she states , as she slips her phone into a side pocket on her gym bag .
“ an honorary billings member , ” he says in a hum and a slow nod of his head , making it very clear he didn’t believe a word she said . “ right . i won’t ask who told you , i’ll just take your word for it . ” he pushes himself off the frame , walking into the gym and dropping his bag next to hers . “ all that insta content and you haven’t even broken a sweat ? frankie , that’s impressive . ” he breaks out into a teasing grin , before he’s loosing out a laugh . “ you all stretched out ? ”

the library conveniently located within the clemont house had swiftly become malik’s favorite haunt ; in fact, he probably spends more time within its walls than he does his own bedroom. in typical style, he’s nose deep in a novel ━━ admittedly, it’s completely irrelevant to the work he should be getting along with, but he’s allowing himself the distraction ( for now ). eyes heavily focused, he jumps at the sudden noise, peering over the glasses that have narrowly slid down the bridge of his nose to source where it’s coming from and instantly resisting the urge to roll his eyes. of course. he smiles, genuinely, and places his book down. ❝ it’s cool. i was just finishing up anyway. ❞ he shrugs, not entirely truthfully, ❝ you looking for something ? can’t say i’ve ever seen you sneak in here before. ❞
“ just had to SEE the place for myself . ” he says wryly , with a tilt of his head as his arms gesture out around them . “ gyms are pretty STANDARD when it comes to looks , but this place is something else . my dad would fuckin’ love it here . ” his eyes dart around the room , gaze dancing around the shelving and the tables ; not wanting to disturb anyone else , he makes the decision to walk closer to malik , sliding into the seat across from him . “ swear this is gonna be the ONLY time i sneak myself in here - i’ve been INVITED to all the other houses except clemont , ” he grins almost guilty , “ sometimes you DON’T wait for an invite and just go . better to ask for forgiveness than permission , RIGHT ? ” he lifts a shoulder , unsure if it’s a statement that all can agree on which is why he finds himself changing the subject , nodding towards malik’s book , “ what’re you reading ? ”

logically, caz should not be awake right now. he should be peacefully slumbering on catching up on some much needed sleep, but somewhere down the line his biological clock had been set to perpetually wake him up at the same hour every day without fail and once he was awake, he had the great pleasure of not being able to fall back asleep — consider it a blessing and a curse. he’s currently two-thirds through coffee number two, so he’s tantalizingly close to being alive and not just awake by the time roo trails down to billings’ kitchen. he’s still sitting at the counter, both large hands clasp around the ceramic of his mug, eyes staring ahead at NOTHING as he gathers up enough motivation to make himself breakfast. company always seems to spur that on a bit more quickly, evident as he turns a tired gaze on roo, voice still a bit blurry, “ — you want an omlet ?? ” it feels like an out-of-place question, unless of course, you know caz.

gray sweatpants hang loose on his hips as he walks into the kitchen . he nods his head at caz at the counter in a form of a greeting , opening up a cabinet , before immediately closing it , and moving to the one directly beside it -- still trying to familiarise himself with the house . he pulls out a glass , leaning his bare back against the counter as he turns to look at caz , “ i’m good , ” he clears his throat , voice still raspy , “ thanks though , man . ” he moves to the fridge and pulls out the eggs for caz , placing them out by the stove and pulling out the carton of almond milk for himself , about to make himself a morning smoothie . “ you’re up EARLY . got practice today ? ” he doesn’t have practice but he’s got to prep the field for the girl’s soccer team this morning .

ayla is always very united states post office in her approach to her work : neither snow , nor rain , nor gloom of night…. yadda yadda yadda — but she really fucking hates rain. by halftime, the torrential downpour has receded to the occasional sprinkle ; the damage has already been done though. she already more closely resembles a drowned rat, her bun already inherently messy, flattened to a tangled mess that’s going to be a bitch to try to brush out later. it doesn’t help that this might be the dullest game she’s shot in her entire life so it feels like it’s not even coming close to worth being here and getting soaked in the process. ( it’s all part of the gig : she knows this somewhere deep down, but isn’t up to dragging up logic right now ). her normally sunny disposition has dulled considerably, irritation a culmination of the weather, a terrible game, and the second string quarterback winking at her on his way off as if he’d done anything vaguely interesting for her to capture. it takes a lot for her to be the better person and not to flip him off. “ i blame you for this, ” she grumbles, having all but stomped down the sideline to where roo sits, budging in next to him to fit under the umbrella. a wince escapes her as she tugs the band out of her hair, wet strands falling ungracefully in tangled snarls down on her shoulders. “ at least you’d make it worth turning into a drowned rat. when are you back again ?? next week ?? — two weeks ?? ” her tone suggests that two weeks is just not acceptable.

to say that roo was frustrated and restless was a severe understatement . he wasn’t used to being on the sidelines during games , it was a tease that they let him take part in practices and scrimmages ; the early mornings were nothing compared to friday night games under the stadium lights , adrenaline from the crowd fuelling him to push another yard - faster , faster , faster . the roar of the crowd and his teammates rushing up to him in victory drowning out the buzz that the game had ended and they had yet again won . he’d stood up , sat back down , knee bouncing as he watched everything unfold and watched his replacement make every wrong move he wouldn’t do - and perhaps he was being to harsh on him , but he couldn’t help himself . he rotated between that and pacing back and forth -- coach shaking his head as soon as roo so much as breathed in his direction , knowing exactly what he was going to say ‘ put me the fuck in coach . please . ’ it was practically torture for him as he sat back on the bench , hair damp from the rain , getting back under the umbrella . there’s a shift on the bench as he’s joined by ayla , and despite the situation he smiles -- the girl momentarily distracting him from the game they’re about to lose . he turns his body towards her , watching as dark strands fall over her shoulders . he’s tempted to push a few stands away from her face but refrains and instead feigns hurt before rolling his eyes , “ i’m the VICTIM here . ” he says , carding his fingers through his hair , roughly mussing it . the words come out dryly but he doesn’t let it show that there may be some truth to it -- punished for a crime he didn’t commit , but he’d take the fall again if he had to . he lifts his shoulder in a shrug , “ try FIVE . ” he says , letting a breath out before his eyes swivel back towards the field , watching momentarily before he’s focused back on ayla . “ we both KNOW how this game is going to end , i’m sure you’ve got at least ONE good shot . if you’re cold you can probably head out . ” he tilts his head towards the exit for the lockers , “ i’ve got a SPARE jacket in my locker if you need one . ” he lightly bumps his shoulder against hers , dipping his head down slightly to meet her eyes , “ i need you at your BEST when i get back on the field . can’t have you getting sick . ”

he’s somehow made his way into the clemont house , winding his way through the house and making it up to the library . it’s practically his birthright to be surrounded in this atmosphere - his middle name an homage to fitzgerald’s work . before he knows it , his fingers are sliding to his back pocket , pulling out his phone ; the urge to send a photo to his dad taking precedence over anything else . the sound of the shutter audibly strikes around the room followed by a flash . “ fuck - ” and if he hadn’t drawn attention to himself he has now , his eyes meet a familiar face as he tucks the phone back into his pocket , grinning guiltily over at malik , “ SORRY , man . didn’t mean to DISTRACT you from whatever you were doing . ”

“ so , i’ve got this thing to go to tonight . . . ” he starts as he slides onto a bar stool on the kitchen island . he’s places an anatomy text book on the counter , “ i normally wouldn’t go but i’m doing everything i fucking can to procrastinate cracking this thing open to study and i kind of owe it to my grandpa . ” his fingers tap against the hard cover before he’s meeting her gaze , grinning almost ruefully “ what’re you up to tonight ? interested in seeing just how good of a dancer i am ? --- or maybe i should start with the fact an open bar is involved ? ”

a bare shoulder leans against the cool door frame as he crosses his arms , brown eyes falling onto the familiar silhouette of the girl with her back towards him , tucked into a world of her own . he lets a hint of a smirk slide onto the corner of his lips before he’s making his presence known . “ last i CHECKED , this was the BILLINGS home gym . ” his tone is nothing short of teasing , “ you LOST franklin ? ”

hello yes , it’s me sage again . 2 / 2 . . . pouring one out for my boy roo now !! meet my golden mama’s boi , roo who is a newer muse of mine , so pls bare we me while i still figure him out !
[ jack gilinsky . 20 . male . he/him ] just saw ROOSEVELT ‘ROO’ CARLSON dragging their suitcase up the steps to BILLINGS . good luck living with HIM , i hear that they’re DOMINEERING , IMPULSIVE , INTELLIGENT & LOYAL . makes sense they chose that house now , doesn’t it ? let’s hope this new living situation doesn’t affect their JUNIOR year of BIOLOGY [ sage . 23 . she/her . est ]
BACKGROUND
alright so roosevelt amory carlson , named after a former president & his parents’ favorite fitzgerald character . ( so yes , his name is just a little bit a lot pretentious & obnoxious )
very very rarely ever goes by his full name & usually goes by roo , or his last name.
his grandparents on both his parents sides are pretty wealthy & upper class. - his parents actually met from them trying to set them up
dad’s side owns a big investment company, and has stocks in nearly every market and his mom’s side is wrapped up in big pharma.
roo’s parents were pretty sick of living that fake lifestyle and the pressure that came with it, so they made a big effort to separate themselves from roo’s grandparents so that they could live the life they wanted
they pretty much only see them on holidays and birthdays
his mom started off as a trauma surgeon before transitioning into a family doctor so that she could have better hours to spend time with her family
his dad is a writer and has yet to release his first novel. so he’s primarily a stay at home dad but writes every chance he can get
has five younger sisters that he is v protective of
grew up in connecticut but moved to california when he was 15
it took him awhile to adjust, and he did rebel a bit bc he was tht angsty teenager that thought his entire life was his friends and school
eventually, after getting into some trouble & getting a wake up call from a joy ride that led to a minor car accident and having a bunch of talks with his parents, he finally adjusted and got back on track
took up football and made his way up to being captain.
was also president of his high school bc he was just a natural born leader, and was just v likeable
his grandparents wanted the best for their grandchildren, and paid for roo’s tuition. his grades were good and above average, but with the competition at halston he most likely wouldn’t have gotten in if it weren’t for his connections.
PRESENT:
roo has been at halston since he was a freshman, made first string on the football team
became captain last year, which for a sophomore was pretty damn good !
last year his team mates decided to prank their rival team & vandalised their field & their locker rooms
roo wasn’t involved with it - in fact they specifically kept him out of the loop because they knew he’d be against it and would probably talk them out of it
they of course got caught & roo ended up taking the fall for it to protect one of the scholarship students
he had originally been kicked off the team & suspended from halston but grandpa carlson came stomping up to claremont & pulled out his cheque book & put the dean in their place because they were not about to take away his grand son’ s future career because he decided to color some grass !!
coach was the happiest about this because roo was simply too good to not play ! however , he is benched for the first half of the season & basically is being tortured with having to be water boy / on constant clean up duty not only for the football team but for the other teams as well .
he got his spot into billings before all this went down so he got to stay ( shout out to grandpa carlson for helping him not get his spot revoked ! )
PERSONALITY:
clearly my boi is loyal to a fault , really big on family, extremely close to his younger sisters.
overall a charming guy, really good with his words, really good at convincing people, just could be a politician if he wanted to.
not really good at commitment, wouldn’t cheat on you if you were his girlfriend, but it also takes a lot for him to be exclusive with someone ... he’s basically your golden boy with fuck boy tendencies
chaotic good! likes a good party, could probably pass as a frat boi if you see him at a party
is actually v smart, even tho people think he’s a dumb jock
can randomly play the flute.. and is the kinda guy who can get away with being able to play the flute lol
annoyingly good at everything, can pick things up really easily and master it within a week. -- he once made/sewed his sister a leather purse after she described to him in detail what it looked like and complained about not being able to find one like it anywhere
10/10 will get into fights for the people he cares about
says ‘fuck’ a lot, said it so much that it was one of his younger sister’s first words :)
honestly this is all i got for now... if you made it this far u deserve an award
