18 year old Nat Wolff walked across campus of the college he was recently accepted to. His backpack was thrown over his shoulder and had a map in his hands trying to find the building his next course was in. As he looked over the map he stopped right in front of the music building. Coincidentally he stopped right in front of a step and as he took off again he tripped and fell flat on his face.
Picking himself up off the ground, he came face-to-face with a statue of a piano and a flood of memories came rushing back to him. A band he had been in, his middle school years, his in-school basketball career, and some girl. Even though he couldn't really remember the girl, Nat knew he had really loved her at one time, but then something had changed.
"Dude, are you okay?"
Nat quickly snapped out of his trance and stood up, only to find his best friend Cooper looking at him.
"Yeah, I just got a little carried away."
Cooper brushed off Nat's back and picked up his map for him.
" What were you thinking about?"
" When we had a band, middle school, basketball and then some chick."
The truth was Cooper knew who the girl was. He had dated her best friend for 4 years until she had to go off to college. She was Rosalina. Nat had really loved her in their middle school years and her early high school years. You see Nat and Rosalina were the closest friends you could ever think of and they both wanted to be more. When she started high school she became a cheerleader and got really, really popular. She soon quit the band and literally forgot about the guys.
Nat and the rest of the guys decided to stop recording and all other band activities to focus on other things. Soon Nat became the basketball captain and Cooper became the quarterback on the varsity football team. David got into soccer, Thomas discovered he was a good baseball pitcher, Qaasim decided he would stick to his studies and eventually graduated valedictorian, and Alex's milk drinking days finally paid off. The strong bones he got lead him to the swim team, where he made captain, but he still skateboarded all of the time. Juanita grew up, and eventually admitted her feelings for Alex the summer before they started thier freshmen year.
They all got really popular and everyone wanted to be just like them;to be their best friends. Luckily they didn't let it all to their heads. By the time they evenhad enough social status to even attempt to talk to Rosalina, she was forgotten and had already moved on to college anyways. Now 3 years later Nat and Cooper had ended up in Austin, TX at UT.
Nat had gotten a basketball scholarship and Cooper got a football scholarship, but they both had different plans for life. Nat wanted to go back into music and try to start a solo career and Cooper was taking managerial classes.
Soon enough, after his little accident Nat found all of his thoughts of the girl pushed to the back of his head. Five of his professors had assigned him a book report due within the mont and he had major mid-terms to study for. Little did Nat and Cooper know, that girl was dealing with the same thoughts.
Rosalina and her best friend Allie were walking back to their apartment, when they saw somebody trip and fall in front of the music building.
" What a dork" Allie said, but at that moment moment Rosalina was completely out of it. She was flooded with old memories including a band, her high school cheerleading squad, and a boy.
"Rosie. Hello. Snap out of it."
"Yeah."
"So as I was saying..." Allie continued on but Rosalina kept staring at the boy. Then when another guy came and helped him up, she could have sworn it was her other friend's ex-boyfriend, Cooper.
As she continued throughout the rest of her day, and her afternoon classes she totally forgot about who she swore was Cooper. Even before then, the dude that had tripped was forgotten.She had tons of book reports due soon and had tons of mid-terms she had to study for.
