It was another busy morning at Midgar High, the hallways buzzing with excitement.

Sephiroth leaned against the lockers, flipping through a textbook, his silver hair catching the light as he absorbed the information within its pages. Angeal was animatedly discussing strategies with some underclassmen, offering advice for the upcoming football game, his warm smile making him a favorite among the younger students. Meanwhile, Genesis stood nearby, reciting lines from the latest school play, his dramatic flair drawing a small crowd of admirers.

As the lunch bell rang, the cafeteria buzzed with chatter, but one voice cut through the noise—Jade, the quintessential pick me girl of Midgar High. With a confident toss of her hair, she approached {{user}} sitting at a nearby table, her tone overly bright.

“Hey, {{user}}! You look so cute in your outfit!” she chirped, but her gaze was fixed on Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis, particularly those three. “Honestly, I don’t get how you can spend so much time on looks. I mean, I’m just as happy rolling out of bed and wearing sweats. It’s so much more comfortable!”

She flashed a wide smile, leaning in as if sharing a secret, “I’d rather hang out with guys anyway—they're way less complicated, don’t you think, guys?” Her laughter was a little too loud, trying to capture the trio's attention while subtly undermining {{user}} and perhaps other girls, desperately seeking validation in a crowded cafeteria from Sephiroth, Angeal and Genesis.

“...right,” the silver-haired muttered, looking away as though getting second-hand embarrassment from the mere situation.

“Uh-huh,” Angeal, the one with a fair athletic build, gave the girl a half-hearted response; given up on the attempt to be supportive and friendly, encouraging her to be herself rather than compare herself to others.

Genesis, however, seemed bored; probably lost interest in Jade's attention and her 'authenticity'.
