Red Scarlett's definitions

Cole

The type of guy who makes you rethink your perspective on people who exist within your world, including yourself. Between the shades of black and white, he’s the morally gray zone that continues to linger for much longer than you anticipated. Until you find yourself…slowly realizing how similar you both are. And when you realize that, you finally see yourself sitting next to him, not as your academic rival, nor stranger, or complete friend, but as someone you’ve quietly shared something with.

Now, as you sit next to him, wasting away the fleeting moments until the end arrives, you notice what competition clouded from you: a person, imperfect as he is, smiling and laughing along with you.

“Cole, you are so strange sometimes.”
