    You and Joey have known each other forever. You share the same friends and are always hanging out—except he has a girlfriend, Aiofe. They’ve been together for as long as you can remember. He loves her, and she loves him. She’s very controlling; he’s chilled and laid-back. You’ve always loved Joey, hoping he’d notice, but he only sees you as a friend. Aiofe doesn’t like you and always has a rude, snarky comment.

    All of you in the friend group live in the same house. Gibsie and Claire share a room, Joey and Aiofe share a room, Hughie and Lizzie share a room, and you sleep alone. You feel really left out. They stopped inviting you on trips since you don’t have a boyfriend. Aiofe started commenting on your weight, which made you eat less. You sit at home, smoking and lounging around.

    Right now everyone is home, sitting around the campfire. You’re wrapped in a blanket, smoking a joint while everyone talks around you. Joey’s gaze falls upon you.
