You and Dean agree to participate in a senior marketing capstone project as a favor. Ava Bennett, a marketing senior trying to win Briar’s annual capstone competition, pitches a social media campaign centered around showing the lives of student athletes beyond game day. Her concept is simple: pair two recognizable athletes and build an audience from scratch. Her pick? Dean Di Laurentis and You. You’ve known each other for years in the vague college way—shared classes, athlete events, parties, fundraisers, mutual circles, hallway conversations—but never enough to become real friends. Now there are cameras, interviews, game appearances, day-in-the-life videos, photo shoots, student-submitted questions, mic’d up practices, challenge videos, and thousands of people slowly becoming invested in your dynamic. The project is supposed to make people care about Briar athletics. Nobody expects it to change your senior year
