Kent stood in line at Starbucks, scrolling through his Facebook feed as people ahead of him were ordering. Kent was wearing his usual getup: jeans, a black tee shirt, and an old leather jacket. The barista called him up and he stood at the register, glancing up at the menu for a moment before ordering himself a vanilla macchiato and a caramel latte for his girlfriend Rae. She hadn’t been texting him much from the night until the morning so he was sure she was in a mood again, maybe some caffeine would help. His lifted his hand, checking the time 9:12. He sighed, he had eight minutes to get these drinks and make it across campus to his class. Kent didn’t mind though, his friend group shared the class so it was easy to sneak in if one of them was late. The class was very easy, he was an English major so that was probably why. After a couple minutes the barista called his name, he grabbed the two cups, thanked her, and headed towards the Alfond building. Even with the stop for drinks, Kent was the second one there. Quinn had beaten him, but that didn’t surprise him. She was just as studious as he was. Erik and Rae both weren’t as studious as them. Kent sat a seat away from Quinn, turning and giving her a smile. “Morning.” He said and sipped his macchiato. “Rae is probably in a bad mood, just a warning, so those two don’t get into it.” He said, both knowing full and well they were the only things standing in the way of a full out brawl between Erik and Rae sometimes.

Quinn stood in front of the mirror doing her eye shadow and eyeliner as he roommate stood besides her ranting about another hookup gone wrong. Quinn nodded sympathetically, giving her roommate a quick hug before saying goodbye, as her roommate was returning home for a funeral for the next few days. Quinn packed her backpack, slinging it over her shoulder as she headed to class. She wrapped her navy blue sweater tighter around herself as she walked, the wind beginning to pick up. She plopped her stuff down in the seat besides her that was always empty, she was the first one to class. She heard the door open and looked over waving hello to Kent. When he spoke she sighed softly and nodded. “At least your the wall that separates them. I texted Erik, I told him he needed to come to class today, so he should be here. Even if he’s salty that he’s away.”she said, tapping her pen on the edge of her notebook.

Rae looked in the mirror as she woke up before groaning and getting into the shower. Work had sucked like usual. She was thinking of quitting and finding another place to work since she was just miserable every time she walked in. She got out the shower before getting dressed. She grabbed her bag before heading out of her dorm. She hated her room-mates since they had no understanding of the word 'private.' It made her blood boil how sometimes they'd borrow her shit without asking. That was when the screaming matches really began. She knew for a fact that she shouldn't get pulled into it, but she knew she was a bitch and didn't care who was really affected by it. She walked across campus before sighing when she was in front of her class. She walked through the door accidentally slamming it and plopped down into her seat beside Kent and said, "Hey babe." She looked exhausted. Running a hand through her pretty brown hair, she was surprised that even with her being late that she was there before Erik. Granted, Erik liked to take his sweet ass time. She hated this class, figuring it was useless towards her dancing major.

Erik looked at his phone and saw that Quinn wanted him at class and sighed knowing he only went to make her happy, otherwise he'd only be going to his art classes. He threw on some jeans and a white t-shirt before grabbing his backpack and heading to class. He ignored the odd looks he got from all of his tattoos and kept his gorgeous blue gaze forwards. The only thing that made class bearable was Quinn and his other friends. Soon, he was in front of the door and walked inside. He sat down in his seat and looked over at Quinn greeting her with a kiss. He ignored the looks from the other people knowing he made people jealous that he had such a beautiful girlfriend. He sat back in his seat and rubbed at his eyes. He had been up drawing tattoo designs. He planned to drop out of school soon, maybe. He didn't know. Depended on if he got the apprenticeship at the tattoo shop. He greeted Kent before raising an eyebrow at Rae and opened his mouth a small smirk beginning to form. "What garbage can did you crawl out of?" His grin widened seeing the murderous look that crossed over his face. He laughed unable to control himself.

Kent and Quinn always had the unspoken agreement to keep their hotheads from fighting, Kent usually being the first to intervene since he was physically matched with either, Quinn not so much. Kent also knew how to handle Erik. They’d been friends since third grade. Kent was the one who introduced Erik and Quinn, after he had begun dating Rae and met Quinn from her. Every time the door opened he glanced over, wanting to see if it was his girlfriend or his best friend. When Rae showed up he smiled. “Hey gorgeous.” He murmured and leaned over to kiss her cheek. Kent slid the latte in front of Rae. “I thought you might need this.” He teased, leaning back into his seat. Just as class was about to start he heard the door open one last time. He knew that would be Erik. Kent rolled his eyes. Kent found it funny how opposite he and Erik were. Throughout their school years nobody ever believed either one was friends with the other. Sure they’d gone off and done their own things. Erik’s being art and tattoos, Kent’s being law and politics. They’d always come back to each other. Kent had been the one to originally convince Erik to come to college and help get him into one. He was a year older so he used his own influence in the school to help his friend. “Hey bud.” He said, rolling his eyes again at Erik and his greeting to Quinn. When he saw his friends smirk he knew nothing good was going to come of it. “Erik.” He said sternly. Kent’s hand moved to his girlfriend’s leg, to calm her and to keep her in her seat. His head turned and he looked at Rae. “You look great, ignore him.”

Quinn modded slightly, she opened her notebook. She marked today’s date and the class at the top of th page, checking her watch for the time. There were only a few minutes left. She’d be upset if Erik didn’t show up. She smiled and gave a wave when Rae showed up. Quinn was happy that Rae was dating Kent, because that’s how she met Erik. She adored Erik, more than anything. He may have been a hard ass, but he treated her great. She was worried he wouldn’t show up again, she wanted to see him, and didn’t want to have to lecture him on showing up. When he finally came in she let out a small breath of relief. She figured he probably hadn’t eaten, so she pulled a granola bar from her pocket and handed it to him. She kissed him back and smiled. “Eat.” She murmured, noticing his smirk. Quinn grabbed Erik’s arm after his comment. “Erik.” She hissed quietly, pulling him into the seat completely. “It is barely after nine am, class is starting the professor is already talking. Do you really neeed to be like that?” She lectured, a small frown on her lips. It was too early for the bickering. Quinn leaned up and kissed his cheek. “Be good and we can do whatever you want tonight, my roommate is gone for three days.”

Rae smiled softly hearing Kent's words and murmured, "Hey handsome." She gasped seeing the latte. "I love you." She told him and smiled kissing him again before taking a sip of the drink and sighed happily leaning back in her seat. She took out her notebook and a pencil before putting the date on it and taking out her pens. She sat back in her seat and looked up hearing Erik baring her teeth at him. "Bite me." She hissed. She was going to say something else when Kent touched her leg and sighed before taking his hand in her own and leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "Thanks babe. I'm sorry. Today is just not the day." She admitted to him and turned to watch her boyfriend and gave him a gentle smile. She sighed softly and murmured, "I really just want to go back to sleep." She admitted flashing Kent a smile before turning her attention to the professor. She wrote down the notes that he wrote on the board and figured she would fall asleep in her next class. Probably not, though. She knew she cared about her grades, just wasn't as studious as Kent or Quinn. She was far better than Erik, though. She knew for a fact that if Kent hadn't helped him, he would never have made it into college to begin with. She would never say that out loud, knowing it was a definite touchy subject for him.

Erik saw the granola bar and chuckled before taking it and sitting down beside her. "Alright." He replied before biting into it. He laughed before hearing Quinn and sighed and said, "It makes me feel better." He pouted looking at Quinn biting into his granola bar. He smiled feeling her kiss his cheek and turned meeting her lips before sighing nad said, "I'll try." He muttered before looking back at the teacher. He looked exhausted, he had been up most of the night drawing. He had drawn Quinn a picture. Suddenly remembering it, he pulled it out and laid it on top of her desk smiling gently knowing that it was cartoons of them holding hands. He knew she loved his drawings and wanted to do something special like that for her. He then turned back to the professor. He managed to last almost over half of the class before falling asleep, his head tilted to the side facing Quinn with his mouth parted as he slept.

Kent gave Rae’s hand a squeeze and leaned into his chair. “I know I know, you can always come back to my single after class or after lunch.” He murmured, eyes turning to look at the professor. Kent had learned to write with his left hand so that he could hold Rae’s and continue to write, because he knew it kept her calm, he always just told her he was ambidextrous. Kent was very relieved that it had gone down without much fuss. It was too early for that. “Come nap with me later.” He said and his eyes glanced down when she spoke to him. Kent turned his attention back to their professor, writing the notes the professor put up, but also the words that he said and Kent thought were important. When class finished Kent packed away his notebook, sliding it into his back. He finished off the rest of his drink and threw it in the nearby trash. He sling his backpack over his shoulders before turning and looking at Rae. “Lunch? Or do you have something to do.” His eyes shifted to Wuinn and Erik. “You’re welcome to join us if it allows.” He said and grinned. Kent slid his arm around Rae’s side and pulled her close to him. He wasn’t usually a possessive or jealous guy, but he knew plenty of underclassmen seemed to be in love with is girlfriend, so he made a point to show everyone that she was his.

Quinn shook her head at Erik and rolled her eyes, but she couldn’t help the smile that prodded her lips. His pout was so cute. “Thank you.” She whispered and kissed him again. Erik was her first real boyfriend, so Quinn wasn’t alqays sure how to act. But the one thing she did know was that kissing him was her favorite. He had soft lips. While class was going on Quinn rubber Erik’s back with her free hand. She glanced down when she saw the drawing and her face lit up with a smile and she turned bright red. “Awh babe, you’re so sweet, it’s so cute.” She said and put it in the clear front pouch of her notebook. When Erik fell asleep Quinn moved his head so it was on her shoulder, at least that way he wouldn’t be laying weird. When class was over she shook him awake. “Hey, time to wake up.” She said and got up, packing her stuff as well. Quinn looked at Kent and shrugged. “I’m free for lunch, what about you babe?” She asked. Quinn knee that no matter what Erik would probably say yes. He wasn’t fond of her being around Rae all the time. She always reminded him that she was friends with Rae first, and despite their differences, she’s never corrupted Quinn. Quinn took his hand in hers, lacing their fingers together.

Rae smiled at him and said, "Maybe when classes are over since I know i'll get sick and use up my days." She admitted to him. She knew that she caused Kent stress when Erik and her fought, but she knew for a fact that she was not going to be pushed around by some asshole. She hated that. She then laughed hearing his words and nodded as a sign that she was down for that. She smiled at him before watching the professor. She wasn't fond of writing down things he had said since his notes were usually good enough for her to make a B or even an A on the tests he gave them. She put her things away and sipped the rest of her drink before shaking her laughing. "I'm down for lunch." She told him, in a far better mood now that she had had her coffee and been with Kent. She felt his arm snake around her and snuggled close to him. She looked up at him and grinned softly. "Where do you guys want to eat?" She asked turning back to look at Quinn giving her a soft smile before looking at Erik. She raised an eyebrow in question waiting for a response.

Erik smiled giving her a nod kissing her back. he laughed hearing her words and said, "YOu're welcome." He replied watching as she put it in the clear pouch at the front of her binder. He liked that she showed off his artwork like it was on a canvas and that peolpe had to pay for it to get it. It made him feel special. He let his face nuzzle into her neck as he slept knowing that he should pay attention more, but after his nap he would be good to go for the rest of the day. He didn't want to worry Quinn too much with his lack of sleep. He hated when he worried her. Feeling himself being woken up, he mumbled something before yawning and stretching. He looked over lazily hearing their words and shrugged. "I've got nothing better to do." Upon hearing Rae's question, he shrugged. "I'll eat anything." He grinned.

@ FlyAway;
Kent nodded, acknowledging he had heard and listened to Rae, but his attention stayed on the professor. He wanted to go to law school and he needed to keep every single grade up. He had a 3.9 GPA and he still didn’t find that good enough. He had taken his LSATs a couple weeks ago and was anxiously awaiting his results, but he never showed it. Kent tried to keep a lot of his emotions and what he put off as neutral. He only truly showed emotions when he was passionate abou something in a debate, or alone with Rae. His thumb ran over the back of her hand throughout class, absentmindedly. Kent nodded as everyone agreed. He felt Rae snuggle closer to him and kissed the top of her head before straightening out again. “I’ll drive, how about Applebee’s?” He suggested, digging around in his pocket until he pulled out his lanyard and key. He was that goofy college kid who actually used his lanyard. “Let’s go I’m starved, that macchiato doesn’t fill me up.”he said, his arm sliding off of Rae but grabbing her hand. He walked alongside her and the other couple as they had to walk across campus to get to his car. Applebee’s was only about a fifteen minute drive away from campus. Kent had a very nice and modern car, he’d worked hard to get it. He unlocked the doors and went to the passengers seat, opening it for Rae before making his way around to the drivers seat. He glanced back at everyone. “Buckle up, that means you Erik. I don’t need a ticket.” He said, and grinned at his friends teasingly.

Quinn loved all of Erik’s artwork, she loved it more when he made it just for her. She hadn’t told him, but for their upcoming anniversary she was making him a scrapbook. It contained the artwork he had giving her over the past year, as well as poems she had written, actual pictures of the couple. And receipts she had kept from some of their dates. She smiled at the thought of it. Quinn didn’t mind that Erik was sleeping on her, he had seemed exhausted and he was in a better mood when he actually got sleep. Quinn shrugged at the mention of where they should eat, but agreed with Kent’s decision. She happily strollled across campus, close to Erik, as she scrolled through Facebook. There was an ad for beagle puppies being sold nearby and she showed Erik as they walked. “Awh babe, look how cute they are!” She gushes. Quinn had had a beagle when she was young, and had a soft spot for them ever since. “Almost as cute as you.” She teased. Quinn loved to flirt with Erik, he was such a big tough guy she found it funny. Quinn slid into the backseat and glanced around at the group. “Hey Rae, can you hand me the aux?” She asked. Quinn had a playlist tha the group had agreed on, after three weeks. It had taken some yelling matches, but they finally compromised.

@ BadStreetBoys
Rae smiled softly as she felt him absentmindedly stroking her hand. She was so grateful for him adn that he treated her like a queen. She was excited to be able to spend some time with him. She knew he was stressed and just wanted to hug him and keep him happy, but she knew that he didn't want to talk about it. She smiled softly as she felt him kiss the top of her head and looked up and kissed his cheek sweetly. She nodded in agreement. "Applebee's sounds great." She sighed sighing as she thought about it. She laced their fingers as they started to walk towards the car. She hummed softly to herself as she did. She ran a hand through her hair getting it out of her face before humming softly. She laughed when he opened her door and said, "Why thank you." She then got into the car and sat down. She laughed hearing Kent. When she heard Quinn ask for the aux cord, she handed it back before pulling on her hair teasingly. "Love you Q." She told her with a smile.

Erik yawned as he slowly began to wake up. He ran a hand throughout his his hair and tried to shrug the sleep out of his eyes. He then looked at Quinn and nodded in agreement to Applebee's before saying, "that sounds good." He told them and hummed as they walked. He heard Quinn and laughed seeing them and nodded in agreement. He figured he would go and get her one of the puppies for their anniversary. He laughed hearing her words and said, "I'm sure you're cuter." He replied flashing her a grin. He got into the car as well before sitting back and groaning hearing Kent. "As long as you don't crash, I shouldn't need a seatbelt, Buddy." He teased him mercilessly before pulling it on with a a few huffs. Once he was done, he looked at the playlist that Quinn had and pouted. "I'm still sad that there's no Avenged Sevenfold on this list." He told her rolling his eyes.

@ FlyAway;
Kent rolled his eyes at Erik. “State law is state law, go to New Hampshire if you don’t wanna wear it.” He teased, looking in his rearview mirror as he pulled out onto the road. Kent hummed along to songs as he drove. He kept one hand on the wheel and the other was on Rae’s leg. Kent was more than happy with Rae, their to year anniversary had been just over a month ago and he told her that her gift was coming in late. In reality he had been working on it for weeks and just didn’t have the time to finish between all the work. Kent pulled into the parking lot, pulling into the front space. He adjusted his mirror before he got out, heading inside with his friends. When the waitress came to seat them he requested a booth. Kent slid inside, and held his arm out, pulling Rae close to his side. He kissed her temple. “I love you so much, I can’t wait to spend all weekend with you, and the rest of my life.” He mumbled into her ear, giving Rae a smile before he began to look over the menu. Kent
looked up and across the table. “Erik.”He said, folding his hands on the table. Kent paused, before a smirk spread across his lips. “How the hell did we get so damn lucky to have such beautiful women?” He purred and rubbed Rae’s side again.

“Love you too Rae.”She said and flashed her smile at her best friend. Quinn rolled her eyes at Erik. “Oh shush, we know you’re the cutest.” She said and smiled up at him. Quinn playfully smacked his arm. “Seatbelt.” She said. Quinn kept her hand on erik’s forearm, tracing one of his tattoos. She found them fascinating and loved when Erik talked about them. “Hey, you agreed to this playlist.” She told him, shrugging. Quinn played the music and watched Erik for a few moments as they drove. Quinn slid into the inside of the booth, liking to be inside with Erik. She glanced up when Kent spoke, his pause made her raise an eyebrow, suspicious, but bust out laughing at his words. “Well I dunno how Rae and I got so lucky to have hunks like you.” She teased back, leaning into Erik’s side. When their waitress returned she looked up. Quinn knew what she wanted so she ordered first. She ordered a root beer, a breakfast burger, and French fries. Kent ordered a Diet Coke and a medium rare steak with a side of potatoe wedges.

@ BadStreetBoys
Rae laughed hearing Kent tease Erik turning around to stick her tongue out at him before turning back around and scrolling on her phone and looking through things. She hummed along to some of the songs knowing that they had all agreed. She agreed with Erik wanting more heavy metal on it, but knew better than to argue. She figured if everyone was okay with the music, then why change a good thing. She played with Kent's fingers absentmindedly as she scrolled through her social media. She went inside humming lightly before sliding into the booth. She laughed feeling Kent pull her closer and kissed his cheek hearing his words and was glad that he was so good to her and hated that sometimes she was just a bitch. She wished she wasn't the way she was, but she knew he loved her anyways and she was so grateful. She was looking over the menu with Kent wondering if she was going to get chicken or something else. She heard Kent say Erik's name and glanced up before laughing kissing him again and smiling hearing Quinn and nodded in agreemnt. She looked up and ordered chicken tenders and fries before asking if they could get mozarella sticks as an appetizer.

Erik laughed hearing her words and shook his head. "I'm not going to argue with you if you want to tell me such things." He grinned knowing he had one hell of an ego and laughed feelig her smacking his arm. "Shut up dick!" He replied to Kent with a grin in the mirror before getting his seatbelt on. He knew that Kent knew not to take any insults he said seriously. He had learned that a long time ago. He was still the same old. He laughed and nodded. "I know, I just wish it had heavier stuff." He teased kissing her wrist gently with a smile on his face. He slid into the booth, wrapping his arm around Quinn and looked over the menu. He was glad when Rae ordered mozarella sticks. He got himself a huge burger stacked with bacon and cheese and peppers. he knew Quinn was not going to want to kiss him later. He laughed before hearing Kent and grinned and said, "I just got lucky." He replied and smiled kissed Quinn gently before leaning back in the booth and groaned. "I don't know why I let your ass talk me into going to school." He complained towards Kent.

@ FlyAway;
Kent was happy with how things were going right now in his life. It was great, the only negative thing he had was the stress from applying to law school. When Rae wanted an appetizer he nodded. “Anything for you.” He murmured. Kent leaned back in the booth, rolling his eyes at Erik. “If you didn’t come to school you wouldn’t have met Quinn.” He pointed out. “Just because I would have Rae, doesn’t mean I would have brought both of them back home. If anything just Rae and you’d be left wondering.” He teased. Kent had done everything he could to help Erik get into college and convincing him to come. Kent didn’t want Erik to not have anything to fall back on. Kent liked to keep Erik out of some of his trouble. Now Kent had Quinn to help him with that. She also helped when Rae and Erik fought. The waitress brought over their mozzarella stick. Both he and Quinn took one to begin eating.

Quinn enjoyed all the time she spent with her best friends. Sure she had a handful of other friends, but they weren’t as close. She looked up at Erik and kissed his cheek again. “I’m the lucky one.” She said. Quinn rolled her eyes at his order, she grabbed his chin and turned his face to hers, kissing Erik deeply for a second. “You better brush your teeth when we get back.” She teased. Quinn nodded, agreeing with Kent. “He’s right, and think about how lonely I’d be without you.”She teased. Quinn looked over at Rae. “Hey we still going to see the new Fifty Shades movie next week?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Kent’s phone went off and he pulled it out. “Hey gotta check this.” He murmured, giving Rae a kiss before sliding out of the booth and walking away from the table to answer the phone. Quinn looked up as the waitress returned with their food. She placed Erik’s burger in front of him, then grabbed her own. “Mmm this smells so good.” She said and took a large bite of the burger. Kent returned a few minutes later, getting back in the booth. He was glad his food was here. “Thank god, I haven’t eaten today.”he said, popping a potatoe wedge in his mouth.

@ BadStreetBoys
Rae smiled at him hearing his words and replied, "I was going to pay for my stuff." She knew he wasn't going to let her since her parents didn't help at all in her college payments and living expenses. She had to take out loans and worked her job most days after school, then stayed up late doing homework just to get by. Her parents had been alcoholics since she could remember and knew her mom was a junkie and paid most of their money on drugs and alcohol and rarely gave her anything. She figured that was why she was such a colossal bitch to most people she met. She looked up hearing the conversation having gotten lost her thoughts wondering how long she worked tomorrow. Today was her night off and wanted to spend it with Kent like she normally did. On a rare time, if Quinn and Erik were fighting, she would go out with Quinn to try and cheer her up. She took a mozarella stick and took a bite before nodding to Kent. SHe saw him come back and murmured, "Who was that?" She didn't mean to pry, just curious more than anything. She kissed his temple gently. She the began to eat her food making a face when Quinn kissed Erik deeply. Hearing Quinn's words, she looked up and froze before whispering, "They put me down on a shift. After work?" She begged not wanting to disappoint her.

Erik laughed and looked at her before he felt her kiss him deeply. "Maybe." He mused laughing and said, "Okay, okay." He replied. "Good did come out of it." He finally admitted. He noticed Rae's face when they kissed and pulled Quinn closer again and kissed her again laughing seeing her face unable to help himself. He then sat back and started to eat looking up when Kent went out to answer his phone. He nodded and bit into his burger and muttered, "It's almost as good as an orgasm." He snickered unable to help himself. He had the metabolism of a yak and could eat continuously without gaining any weight. It turned into muscle eventually from his work out routines. He worked out religiously to keep his anger levels down knowing he had anger problems and didn't ever want to take them out on Quinn. She didn't deserve that. He sat back once he was done and muttered, "Now, it's time for a nap." He teased looking down at Quinn with a smile.
