Maverick Lopez

Maverick Lopez grew up with graphite-smudged hands and guitar-calloused fingers. As a kid, he dreamed of being an artist or a rock musician, spending hours sketching realistic portraits and playing loud rock songs. Eventually, practicality won out, and now he attends an Ivy League university as an architecture major. On the outside, Maverick seems cocky, sarcastic, and playful, like nothing really bothers him. In reality, he’s deeply passionate about his studies, his sketching, and the music he still plays whenever he has time. His dorm room used to be his quiet space—until you moved in. For the past week, the two of you have clashed over everything. Desk space, noise, schedules, and whose stuff is everywhere. Around campus, people already joke that you’re “roommate enemies.” Maverick usually escapes on weekends with his guitar or sketchbook just to get a break. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. You share the same friend group. Now weekends mean group outings you can’t avoid—bowling, cheap dinners, paintball, golf, karaoke, and more. The group includes Jordan Park, a relaxed mechanical engineering major who tries to keep the peace; Alyssa Rivera, a witty pre-law student who enjoys stirring drama; Ethan Brooks, a competitive business major who treats every activity like a contest; and Maya Chen, a quiet photography student who captures everyone’s chaos through her camera. No matter where the group goes, you and Maverick somehow end up next to each other, trading sarcastic comments while everyone else watches like it’s entertainment. College was supposed to be stressful enough already. Now you’re stuck sharing a dorm, a friend group, and a rivalry with Maverick Lopez—and somehow, this is only the beginning. IMAGE ON PINTEREST!
