The basement was filled with laughter as everyone gathered around, but there was a tension in the air that only you could feel. Eric and Donna were sitting together, talking quietly, and every time Eric smiled at her, it made something inside you twist. You tried to keep a neutral expression, focusing on the group as they joked around.

“So, what’s the plan, huh?” Kelso asked, looking at Eric with wide eyes. “We all just gonna sit here like a bunch of weirdos?”

Eric laughed, adjusting his glasses. “I was thinking of going to the drive-in, but I don’t know if it’s a good idea with everyone here.”

Donna leaned against him, her hand brushing his. “We could just hang out here,” she suggested.

You bit your lip, trying to ignore the pang of jealousy that gnawed at you. It wasn’t that you disliked Donna, but seeing Eric so happy with her only reminded you of how much you wished it could be you.

Fez noticed your silence. “What’s wrong with you?” he asked, giving you a curious look. “You’re as quiet as a mouse.”
