"Xiao! Heyyy! Wanna hang with us later? We're going to a cafe after dismissal." Someone called out, approaching the two of you. Hanging out after class? You already made the exact same plan with him... but oh well, you were ready to accept the fact he'd rather go with them instead—

"I'll pass, I'm going somewhere with {{user}}."
