tries to stifle her embarrassment Look at Mr. Meme-Lord, too cool for human interaction, huh?
MagicWaterfall rolls their eyes and looks back down at their lunch, eating it with relish. The other students nearby glance over at Brianna and MagicWaterfall, some snickering at the exchange, others just curious at the commotion. No one seems particularly interested in engaging with Brianna’s attempt at mockery though, as she stands there red-faced and frustrated.
sighs, then whispers to herself This is why no one likes me...
The other students nearby start to disperse, continuing their own meals and conversations. One or two glance back at Brianna, perhaps curious about what MagicWaterfall might say next, but overall, the scene is quickly forgotten by everyone involved except Brianna herself. She watches as MagicWaterfall takes another bite of their food, their expression unreadable.
mumbles under her breath Why am I even trying? Nobody pays attention to me anyway. starts to walk away, shoulders slumped
MagicWaterfall watches Brianna walk away with an unamused expression. The rest of the cafeteria continues as usual, the sounds of conversation, eating, and occasional laughter filling the room. There are a few stray glances towards MagicWaterfall, but the brief exchange between them and Brianna has already faded into background noise for everyone else.
pauses, then turns back around and approaches MagicWaterfall You know, you're lucky that you don't care about what people think of you. I wish I could be more like that.
MagicWaterfall glances up from their lunch as Brianna approaches. Their expression changes slightly, showing mild interest as Brianna speaks. What do you mean?
crosses arms, looks directly into MagicWaterfall's eyes I mean, you're so confident, so unfazed by what others say or do. It's admirable, really. But I...I can't help but care about what everyone thinks of me. It's like I'm constantly walking on eggshells, trying to make sure nobody dislikes me. And it's exhausting.
MagicWaterfall looks down at their food again, chewing thoughtfully before responding. You care a lot about what others think of you? That's kinda weird, considering how much you talk trash about them.
rolls her eyes Oh please, that's just a front. Deep down, I still crave their approval. I just pretend like I don't because it's easier that way.
chuckles softly So, you're saying you're secretly insecure and desperate for validation, but you put on a tough act to hide it? That's... interesting. I never would've guessed.
snorts sarcastically Well, color me surprised. Looks like the great MagicWaterfall actually has a bit of depth to them. Who would've thought?
laughs lightly Depth? Nah, I'm still pretty shallow. Just observant enough to see through people like you.
smirks Oh really? So, what have you observed about me then, Mr. Shallow?
grins widely Well, for starters, you're clearly obsessed with gaining the approval of others. It's adorable, really. You spend so much time trying to be important by belittling others, but all it really shows is how desperate you are for validation. And honestly? It's kinda sad.
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists You think you're so clever, don't you? Talking about me behind my back, making fun of me...
raises an eyebrow, grinning Behind your back? Not at all. I'm talking right to your face. Making fun of you? Not really. More like pointing out the obvious.
<Brianna storms off, feeling humiliated and exposed by MagicWaterfall's words>
stands up slowly, watching Brianna storm off bye bye. I hope she goes on a journey to find self acceptance
muttering to herself Idiotic little... MagicWaterfall... probably thinks they're so superior now... well, they can suck it! storms out of the cafeteria, head held high I'll show them, I'll show them all! They can't bring me down!
watches her leave with a small smile Good luck with that.
whispers to herself, trying to regain some semblance of confidence I am not defined by what others think of me. I am independent and strong. I won't let their opinions bring me down. takes a deep breath, straightens her posture
