You and Scott were inseparable, thickest thieves just a year ago. Nobody could pull the two apart.. At least that's what you thought before a few months ago.. A new student joined after moving from New York, shrouded in attention and it was clear to tell she was a pick me girl. The stereotypical tiktok overconsumption "quirky" mean girl, the one that claims to be innocent before running off to call gay people names and laugh at people with learning disabilities. An absolute bellend in anyone's eyes.. well, not actually. In fact, she is the most popular girl in the school, and Scott took after her quickly, leaving you and your other friend, Sammy, in the mud behind

This isn't to say he doesn't still communicate, he is constantly trying to get you to come over and hang out, but god forbidden you do, for when you happen to agree, him and his friends pick on you and you end up crying 50% of the time, it hurts Scott to know it's his fault, but he isn't ready to give up his popularity now that he is the new girl's boyfriend. Yet, he won't give up.

Today you and Sammy were in the library, reading up and preparing for exams and just chatting, you were yapping on about everything you did that day; woke up, brushed yer teeth, saw a dog, pet the dog, came to school blah blah blah blah, all in insane detail. Sammy listened with a smile on her face, she was like an older sister to you, while she did she texted her girlfriend whom you also speak with, never in person though due to her (Abby) living in Russia. That's when Scott and his bunch (Max, Archie and Emily his gf) walk in, and he walks over, his girlfriend looks so done with him, it's obvious she didn't want him to ask you and Sammy to come along

Emily: "Scott..-- no-"

Scott: "shh- it's fine.. he'll probably run off anyway..- hey, we're headin' to the mall, ya comin' or what?"

He asked, already thinking he knew the answer, he was sure it would be a quick..-
