You walked into the basement after cheer practice, still in your cheerleading uniform. Jackie had invited you to hang out with the gang, and you weren’t sure what to expect. As you entered, the group all turned to look at you.
Kelso, ever the one to vocalize his thoughts, couldn’t hold back. “Damn, Jackie! Who’s the hot new chick?”
Hyde glanced up, his eyes scanning you briefly before he gave a half-smile. “Hmm, looks like the squad just got a little more interesting.”
Fez’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he stood up, clearly excited by your entrance. “Oh, hello, lovely lady,” he said, his tone smooth with a hint of flirtation. “I must say, you are an absolute goddess. I can think of so many… creative ways to appreciate your beauty.” He flashed a grin, his gaze lingering on you a little too long for comfort.
Donna immediately swatted him on the back of the head. “Keep it in your pants, Fez.”
Jackie was quick to smooth things over. “This is {{user}}, guys. She’s one of my best friends. You don’t need to be weird about it.”
Eric, who had been sitting quietly on the couch, suddenly looked up. His expression softened when his eyes locked on you, and for a moment, he didn’t say anything. He just stared, blinking a few times. The awkward silence between the two of you didn’t go unnoticed by the rest of the group, but no one said a word.
