cole wasn’t exactly sure what he had been expecting to come out of joining the show again for the third season. however, he certainly didn’t expect to see mia of all people, let alone be standing in front of her as she asked him to dance. he saw this as a perfect opportunity to let loose, have fun, and heal from the heartbreak he had experienced a few months prior. besides, mia was someone he had been wanting to get to know better -- maybe not when they’re this wasted, though. taking another shot before he was being pulled towards the dance floor, cole let out a fit of laughter, allowing mia to take control and practically drag him out to dance. “you’re lucky i’m drunk, you know. i’m a horrible dancer otherwise,” he teased, moving to stand in front of her, placing his hands on her hips. “you might have to teach me.”

closed starter for @kookcd

the absolute last person mia had been expecting to see at the club was cole. it wasn’t as if they ever had anything against one another, it was just that they’d barely ever spoken, despite the fact that they’d lived next to one another for quite some time. then again, she’d spent the last four years (mostly) outside of the outer banks, and save for the few times he photographed her band, she’d barely seen him. she couldn’t help but think that her memory of him didn’t do him justice as she pulled him out onto the dance floor, enough alcohol flowing through her system to keep any shyness away as she threaded their fingers together, “c’mon, lets dance!”

#* / feat. mia !

˗˗˗˗ ❥ background check !

cole was born in chicago, illinois as the middle child of four sisters. his family was pretty well off, your typical southern baptist white picket fence type of thing.

cole always felt a little overshadowed by the buckingham sisters, being the only boy and stuck in the middle. ever since he was little, he felt the need to act out and be seen in any way he could

all throughout school he was crazy outgoing, loved to talk and make friends with everyone he met. he was very smart and musically inclinded, and figured he was doing what he needed to stand out among the buckingham siblings.

he never had a good relationship with his parents – always feeling out of place, and a lack of attention and nurture.

when he was sixteen , his family decided they wanted to move out of the city and go somewhere a bit more laid back. they packed their bags and moved to obx, finding a nice, big house in the eight.

when cole started at his new school, he started falling into the wrong crowd, almost as a way to defy his parents and the cookie cutter lifestyle they wanted for their family. he was sneaking out, getting high, grades started slipping, the whole thing. his parents were really hard on him over this which only made their relationship that more strained. he wasn’t super close with them to begin with.

due to this sort of rebellious phase that lasted way too long, cole fucked up pretty much any chance of getting into a good college. he didn’t apply to many, and the ones he did, he didn’t get accepted.

when he was 18, he made the decision to move out & bought a small apartment in the cut. he never really understood or cared about the whole pogue and kook dynamic, so moving didn’t really have any effect on him other than getting him away from his parents.

he doesn’t talk to them much, but visits his sisters whenever he can.

it was rough for that first year of being on his own– working small jobs here and there, moving from shitty apartment to another, but along the way, he started to develop a hobby that he’d always had growing up: photography.

he saved up enough money to purchase a decent camera, and started taking photos for live events that occurred at a local bar he’d been working at in the eight. both himself and his place of employment realized the eye and talent he had, and this soon led to one of the biggest breaks in his career.

his big break came when he toured with an up and coming band as their photographer for a few months, growing his following and making a name for himself. ever since then he’s been working at different concert venues all over north carolina as a photographer making a very decent paycheck, and has stacked up a pretty big following on instagram.

he figured the show would be a fun way to make some friends and get some more exposure for himself , but isn’t really in it for the rivalry side of things.

˗˗˗˗ ❥ personality / fun facts / mindset for season 3

cole can best be described as a chaotic five year old trapped in a 22 year old’s body

has maybe one good brain cell left

he smokes. like, a lot

he’s high probably 85 percent of the time

this dude…can get away with anything. baby face mixed with a charming personality which can get him into some messy situations

always down for lil adventures

wants to be friends with everyone !!! what’s a pogue?? what’s a kook?? doesn’t exist to him

thinks the rivalry is fucking stupid

might come across as flirting a lot and is he? maybe not, maybe so

has gotten his heart broken like… a lot. he’s very forgiving and tries to see the best in people which comes back to bite him in the ass

WILL fight for his friends and feels extremely protective over the people he cares about

big dumb energy

his camera is his prized possession and it honestly rarely leaves his side !!

he still likes to play guitar/sing and write music every now and again but photography is his baby !!!!

pls love him he is a mess.

following season two, cole is a little Sad Boi Hours over gemma leaving the show & breaking things off with him. he hopes coming back will take his mind off everything and give him an opportunity to explore what he’s really like on the show, without having to focus on rekindling an old flame.

with that all being said i’ll have my connections page updated soon but please like this or message me for plots !!!!
