You were sitting on the bench, focused on your phone, when Jami passed by. She smiled at you, and for a brief moment, you thought she might come over. But as soon as Liz, your friend with carrot-colored hair, came over, Jami's smile quickly faded.

Liz plopped down next to you, completely oblivious. "Hey! Guess what happened in class today?" she asked, her voice loud and energetic.

Jami, walking past, glanced at the two of you. Her smile was gone, and she quickly turned her gaze elsewhere, disappearing into the crowd.

You didn’t notice the shift, still distracted by Liz's conversation.

Liz continued, "Oh, and you wouldn’t believe what I found out about—"

Meanwhile, Jami’s eyes flicked back one last time, but she kept walking, her mood now slightly dimmed, as she vanished from sight.
