Wayhaught College AU

( Waverly Earp is a cheerleader in Sigma Gamma Chi who has a crush on athlete turned campus security guard, from Tau Zeta Chi, Nicole Haught. They fall into each other lives quite literally.)

Notes at the end

Sitting at the desk of the security office she lost herself in her thoughts as the phone rang. Nicole was one of the officers on duty in the security office at Woodbridge Heights University. All of the other officers on duty were out doing rounds, unlocking doos, or something else. It was just her and student officer Owen Lonnie milling around the office waiting to har if anyone needed assistance or until their shifts were over.

The phone rang out breaking them both from the thoughts milling around in both of their heads. Lonnie picked up the line, "Campus security, Student officer Lonnie what can i help you with. Uh huh . Okay, i will dispatch an officer over to help with the lock. He hung up the phone and Nicole was already shrugging her jacket on. Lonnie filled her in on the situation, a locked shed on the football field containing some necessary equipment. She hopped into the dark green golf cart and made her way over to the football stadium. Her thoughts went to how grateful she was to have this job. She graduated with her bachelors and after four years of being a part of the Mountie security family they offered her a job. She figured while she was continuing her academy pursuits. Pulling into the storage area near the field she saw the group of athletes yanking on the padlock attached to the shed she skirted to a stop.

"Finally someone showed up," stated a tattooed beef cake that she recognized as the recruited sophomore playing both lacrosse and football. He and his gaggle of friends some geared up and some barely chuckled at his remark. Nicole tried her best not to show the annoyance she felt on her face as she dug in her pocket for keys.

"Hi , Champ I'm sure coach Ricard would love to hear how you lost the storage keys...again." she tried to keep her tone stoic as she opened the shed and heard the non-hardy players snickered and snided her into the shed. Moving out of the way she stepped back and looked back over at champ who was waiting for the others to pull out the pads for the sleds. Nicole decided she might as well make conversation with the kid, "So are you excited for the season."

Champ sighed and looked over, "yea, but the pressure uh does it get any better?"

Nicole thought about the pressure to bring back another championship her senior year with the women's basketball team. She also thought about the fact that Hardy and the team were coming off of last years shiny championship win," no it does not", she relented. Champ had grabbed the last of the gear and nodded toward Nicole as she pulled the shed shut. Following the team she made her way to the stands checking the time on her watch. While pulling off her jacket her eyes glazed over the field when she heard a loud yelp and a clamor of groans off to the side of her.

The cheer squad took advantage of the good weather and the fact that the football team's practice was going to be more than slightly delayed due to a coach and equipment gone awol. The captain of the squad, Waverly Earp opted to her squad to practice some of their sideline routine including a less than clean torch stand and even worse arabesque. It never helped that a few of these flyers had no real interest in pre-stretching nor listening knowing they would have a chance to "inspect" the new players setting out gear. She knew that the only way to get some of their attention was to op in line with all of them, leaving her co captain Chrissy to watch from the side. With a 5 count and a lunge upwards Waverly was lifted in the air with one leg pointed outward.

She heard the quiet groan under her as some of the girls not being a base looked up at her and rolled their eyes. She thought about how hard she tried to get everyone on the squad to like her but there was one thing always disconnecting her and a few of the others. She wondered if it was the fact that she was in a rivaling sorority than the other or that they were envious of the many ups she had going for her at Woodbridge. Little did they or mostly anyone besides the admission committee know of her circumstances at home. Her reluctance to tell anyone about the reason why she and her sister, Wy, had left their hometown or why she loved this campus the way she did was a loaded answer. It was part guilt, part fear or rejection, and maybe a bit of a wall to distance those memories. They didn't know her history so she was free to create a new future or at least try to.

The sun slightly blinded her vision as she brought her leg down yet remaining in the air. Yelling down to the girls below she informed them of the proper procedures to the stunt she just performed. Chrissy and the cheer coach backing up her words in the distance. She tried her best to listen in on what the coach was stating to her and the rest of the squad, but her eyes noticed a flick of red hair making its way across the silver and black stands and then the faint outline of a tanned muscular bicep . So focused on the person that was drawing her attention in the stands she mindlessly signaled for dismount. The base crew were already bowing at her weight and the distraction of Waverly led to a crumpled mess of girls and a few bruises to Waverly's arm. Some how in the fall she had the fore thought to cover her head when coming down but, she was still a bit dazed as people were being pulled off of her and then her body off of another girls. The person holding her upright covered the sun that was blazing down on her. Regardless of this shadow she saw a bright light and her eyes followed despite the blurriness. Her ears registered a warm voice and then finally murmurs. The stars were wearing off and she felt less disoriented coming to the sight of her coach looking at the other girls and Chrissy staring at her along with a tall concerned red head. Waverly snapped out of whatever fog the fall had caused and stared straight at Chrissy. "I am fine but, can someone actually go to morning work out," she yelled the last bit of her statement towards the girls next to her warranting a scoff or two. She knew she had some fault in this predicament yet, needed to deflect that guilt a bit.

Chrissy laughed and roped her hand around Waverly's shoulder, "Stop before they mutiny on both of us." The woman who was very obviously a security officer spoke into the walkie talkie on her shoulder and smiled in both of the girls reaction. Waverly caught her eyes lingering a bit too long over the face of the officer and managed to laugh off the statement Chrissy made. Chrissy chimed in noticing a slight change in the way Waverly's eyes were grazing Nicole. "Okay then," she draw out that Kay," I think I'm going to take Waverly to sit down then Nic...i mean Officer Haught," Chrissy laughed off pulling Waverly by the arm.

Nicole rolled her eyes playfully and tapped Chrissy's shoulder as the girl turned pulling her cute brunette friend with her. Nicole beamed at her little, "It's fine Bunny i am still Nicole or Hops, outside of yaknow when other security is around." She started walking back to the golf cart once she had checked that none of the other girls needed to be taken to the health center on campus. On the way back to the cart she waved at one of her friends who was now the defensive coach for the football team, who had now taken to the field practicing drill lines etc. Dolls stopped her before she completely walked passed him. "Officer hops saving the day one shed at a time or should i say one girl," he chuckled lowly.

"Ha ha, now maybe if someone made sure that they arrived on time instead of taking some extra time with a certain bar tender, i could have stayed inside getting cabin fever," she jeered toward the man who was the epitome of tall dark and handsome.

Dolls grimaced and shrugged, "what can i say i have a thing for a spitfire named Aphrodite. Which by the way i think that was her sister you helped out there." Nicole rose her eyebrow prying for some more information. "The one that was in the air with the brown hair. I think that is her at least because, she is the head cheerleader from what Wynonna..." He groaned as the name of his secret fling slipped his lips and the smile on Nicole's faced widened. "I am going to go back to work please do not mention this to Eliza or anyone else for that matter," Xavier shook his head as he turned around dismissing any come back Nicole was sending his way.

All Nicole could do was pat her friend on the back and walk back to the forest green cart.

Pulling back into the parking lot of the security offices and jogging into through the door she checked the clock on the wall noticing that the student officers had rotated shifts. She had 20 minutes left on her shift and took the time to sit at her desk and begin filing out a short report on the shed situation. With the report handed in as well as, her keys she started to pack her bag and set her keys a fingers length away on her desk ready to joy what time she had left of the day to herself. Pulling out her phone to pass the remaining minutes she checked the group chat between her sorority siblings and her. Scrolling up a bit she noticed Chrissy recounting her actions to the rest of the chat and the responses of rabbit emojis and jokes about her saving the day including the name of a certain face that Nicole's mind kept angering to. She texted the group wow you guys must have nothing new to talk about like recruitment week. The responses flooded and soon enough her nickname in the chat was now officer hops and her shift was over. Saying her goodbyes to the officers in the building and striding over to her car she contemplated sending a text that dolls had inspired. Her finger lingered over the send button before tapping it and sending it to the group chat, pulling out of the parking lot soon after.

~so a heads up i am new to writing fan fiction, but not stories. Going to upload this to ao3 just want to see if anyone would be interested in more here. This was an idea that was sparked by a wayhaught au by whiskey-maple-donuts on tumblr but, i never intended on turning it into a fan fic of sorts. But here we are, there may be some terms you can always ask me questions about but, i can explain one thing. Sorority's and fraternity's in American universities have a big, like an older sibling, and littles that choose or are chosen. Sorry for any grammatical errors i am writing this on iPad notes with no beta.~
