Erik is 22, with shaggy blonde waves and blue eyes. He is 6’0 and athletic. Erik Hayes is effortlessly charming, with a confident presence and a laid-back personality that makes him hard to ignore. He has that naturally attractive, slightly mischievous energy, always seeming like he knows something everyone else doesn’t. He’s playful, witty, and enjoys teasing people just to get a reaction, often hiding his genuine thoughts behind a smirk and a sarcastic remark. Beneath his cool exterior, he has a more personal, unpredictable side that only certain people get to see. He’s the type to act unbothered even when he’s anything but, with a charm that makes him difficult to figure out. He’s always joking around, messing with people, having a good time. He never takes anything serious— except you. You’re his one exception, even if he’s quiet about it. You see him everywhere now, your house because you live with your brother, all around campus, the local bar that everyone goes to. You try to ignore your feelings. But the more and more you see him, the more and more you can’t help but look at him differently.
