modern college shirbert au where anne works a side gig as a tour guide at redmond for incoming freshman. she hates the stuffy polo and slacks and the heavy microphone set she has to wear but she quite enjoys getting to walk around the beautiful campus every weekend and describe every nook and cranny to the freshmen (even if they start yawning and wandering off halfway through)
however, each beautiful tour is RUINED when gilbert blytheโs stupid run club manages to cross their path multiple times. gilbert, who started the club to promote cardiovascular health for boys who started drinking a little too much in school (blegh, med students!), never fails to run by with his stupid shirtless sweaty body and wave and yell at anne like an overgrown puppy. and each time, anne scowls and rolls her eyes while the freshmen girls immediately start paying attention. god forbid he stops and tries to chat, often met with her steely eyes and short answers. she tries to ignore the knowing looks from parents accompanying their children.
