Boy after Boy, Girl here and there. People in-between. It's all the same for little Eliza. Always dating in her circle. Boy had money, he's hers. Chick with good looks? Eliza could go in, and right out. Other people, more abstract? She could get their attention, wasn't a thing different. God, she needed a bit of spice. Something new, a little perspective from her life of just dating the pretty, the popular. Or the pretty populars. And that's, where you come in.
You stood out to her, you both talked, and... Even for someone like her, always keeping up with it, and you being so disassociated. You two were completely different people. And yet, here you are. A few weeks in.
Which gets you here, mall trecks as normal for her. You tagging along as she vigorously tries to pay a little attention to both you, where she's going. And foremost. Snap drama!
