Jackson

**Jackson** is a new student from Kansas who bonded with Kimberly.

## History

### Arrival at Essex

After his dorm was destroyed by a category 4 tornado, Jackson was relocated to Essex College to continue his education. Soon after his arrival, he had found a sexual partner and had sex that could be heard by his dorm neighbors. He also attended the traditional snow run and the Omega Pi party that followed. At the party, Kimberly confronted him about the noise he'd been making and he gave her his number so she could text him when he was being too loud.

### Helping Bela

When Dean Miller told Bela she couldn't have a strip show, she ran to Jackson's room and asked him to do her a favor. They went back to Dean Miller and Jackson talked to her about how much it meant to him, as a climate refugee, to have the students of his new school raising money for climate change. Dean Miller agreed to let them have the show, but said it had to end by midnight and no nudity was allowed. Once she was gone, Bela thanked Jackson for his help and he went back to his room.

### Start of Classes

While walking to class one day, Jackson and Kimberly realized they were in the same Irish Literature class. They also bonded over their difficulties fitting in at Essex and he said he hoped she wouldn't have to leave.

### Irish Lit Studying

When Jackson and Kimberly saw the large amount of reading they had to do for Irish Lit, they decided that each of them could read part of it and they could discuss it once they were done. Jackson invited Fred, another classmate, to join them when Fred admitted to having a crush on Kimberly and asked Jackson for help asking her out. They went over the reading notes and when Fred stepped out to get his food delivery, Jackson told her what he'd done. Later, at a party, Jackson thanked Kimberly for her help and said that he'd helped Fred because guys like Fred wouldn't usually have a shot with girls like Kimberly, meaning hot girls.

### Taking Care of Kimberly

When Kimberly got locked out of her room after her egg retrieval, Jackson took her back to his room and said she could wait there until her friends got home. She fell asleep in his bed, where she stayed until Whitney came and took her home.

Jackson texted Kimberly later to check on her recovery. When he saw that she'd left a package of pads in the bathroom, he brought them to her room for her. Wanting to prove to Jackson that she wasn't fragile and didn't need someone to take care of her, she went to him and told him she was up for anything. They hooked up that night.

### Food Workers' Strike and Dating Kimberly

Jackson and Kimberly continued hooking up, but she was disappointed when she saw him getting food from the dining hall while the food workers on campus were striking. When she explained this to him, he agreed to stop eating at campus eateries. After the rally, Jackson surprised Kimberly with food from off-campus, as he knew she hadn't been eating.

When Kimberly started to worry that she and Jackson had nothing in common, she asked him about his tastes, looking for some commonality. When Jackson learned what she was worried about, he said he liked that they liked different things, because they were able to learn from each other. He also pointed out that she never worried about liking the same things as her friends.

Kimberly was invited to the Econ Banquet by Canaan Greene and Jackson said it was fine if she wanted. However, after the banquet, Kimberly came to his room and shocked him by saying they needed to break up.
