Isu never failed to play a different character every first day of the semester just for the fun of it and this time time had caught up on him and he hadn’t had the chance to even get into the proper clothes. He was running around campus with papers in his hands because of course he also woke up late this morning and so, he had to get everything ready for his class later that day. A friendly voice call his attention as he is fiddling with some folders. “Mande?”, he replied in Spanish before looking over at the girl and her brownies. Cogs take a moment to work, but then he shakes his head after processing what she had just said. “Potential bestie? Quite flattered, thank you and yes, I will take a brownie; haven’t had breakfast today”, he said as he placed his folders under one arm and grabbed a brownie. “You’re new, aren’t you? No te he visto por aquí antes”.

Goal one was complete: make it into college. Now Phoebe had to work on her second goal, which was to fall into a lovable band of weirdos and become lifelong friends with them. This, of course, required introductions and getting people to like her – and if her mother taught her one thing, it was that people couldn’t resist baked goods. Especially if they were free. So Phoebe spent most of the previous night whipping up a batch of her grandma’s famous brownies and decided to make them her plan of – not attack, per se – but friendliness. Pasting on a smile, she reached out to the person closest to her. “Morning, potential bestie! Would you like a brownie?” She offered up the plate that held at least a dozen chocolately, delectable morsels. “They’re special. Made with love.” She winked.

BIO

Isu, Tony, Mr. Fajardo or however you wanna call him has always been the dramatic child quite literally. When he got rejected by a girl in kindergarten, he cried purposefully under the rain just for the aesthetic ( and that wasn’t even a thing back then).

Born and raised in Mexico City as an only child, Isu always knew what he wanted to do with his life: he wanted to be an actor. Consuming movies from all around the world was one of his favorite activities to do with his mother who always called him “Mi Pedrito” in reference to famous actor and singer Pedro Infante.

Still, there was something Isu never learned how to handle properly: rejection. Whether by how his mother spoiled him or by how used he was to being #1 in the things he loved, he would always get anxious and break down whenever something didn’t turn the way he expected. This also lead him to never be able to stay in a relationship for too long; leaving them before they left him.

Time goes by and he becomes a recognized actor in telenovelas and so, when Broadway and Hollywood call his way he is beyond excited. He tells everyone about it, he flaunts the plane ticket in front of everyone, but when the night before arrives; he gets mad drunk just to get sure he is not awake by the time he has to take his flight.   HE IS TERRIFIED.   Terrified of failing, terrified of being rejected, so instead, he stays,

Urged by his mother for years and years, Isu eventually grabs “the wrong plane” and heads towards Ohio. It is one step closer, right? ...RIGHT? He pretends to not know what was happening and explains to his mom that he is just going to “save some money” so he can go to Los Angeles or maybe NYC.   BULLSHIT.   He gets hired at the local college and convinces himself he is just waiting for his BIG MOMENT to arrive so he can hop on a plane towards stardom.

The Underground Sun has quite the potential, but only shines for some in a little cave where his real light cannot be exploited properly. He is warm, protective and very friendly with students considering them “the children he never had”. Also very active in all the college events, Isu is the kind of teacher you can come for advice, but cannot promise you it will be good advice, but he tries his best. He always tries his best.

Way less terrifying to teach people how to act than being judged by the Anna Wintour of theatre and film. He has actually grown very fond of the place and its people and even if he ever leaves, he would love to keep coming back.

Isu means "deer" in Mixtec while Tonatiuh was the Sun god for the Mexicas. So I made yet another wordplay "Deer Sun" (Dear Sun).
