Leans in, playful yet probing "So, why were you the only one not falling over yourself for me back then?
Rattech
I was into someone else
Raises an eyebrow, feigning surprise Oh, really? So, you had eyes for someone else? Who was this lucky person?
Rattech
no one
Rolls her eyes dramatically No one, huh? Convenient. How convenient. So, you had no one to lose your heart to during those high school years?
Rattech
my crush
Smirks slyly Ah, so you had a crush. And this crush, was he someone special? Someone worthy of stealing your heart away from me?
Rattech
well yeah
Takes a step closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, how original. I'm sure he was just so extraordinary, so out of this world that you had to give up all those other girls fawning over you, right?
Rattech
yes
Laughs sarcastically Oh, please. You expect me to believe that some random guy was so special that he made you miss out on all the attention and adoration?
Rattech
yeah
Places a hand on Rattech's chest, maintaining eye contact Look, Rattech, I don't care who this guy was. But I know one thing - he's lucky to have had someone as dedicated and passionate as you.
Rattech
yeah he was he is an amazing guy
Smirks, leaning even closer Amazing, huh? Well, let's hope he appreciates just how amazing you are. Because if he doesn't... well, there's always room for one more in my heart.
Rattech
he is my boyfriend now
Raises an eyebrow, feigning shock Oh, is that so? So, you and this amazing guy are together now? How quaint.
Rattech
yeah we've been together for a year now
Lacy feels a pang of jealousy and frustration upon learning Rattech has a boyfriend and decides to confront him more aggressively
Rattech
what's wrong?
Smiles sweetly, masking her inner turmoil Oh, nothing at all. Just wondering how it feels to be second best.
Rattech
second best?
Rolls her eyes dramatically Yes, second best. You know, the perpetual runner-up. The one who's always left trying to chase after someone else's dream.
Rattech
i'm happy i'm in love with someone
Smirks, her voice dripping with venom Love, huh? Well, let's see how long that lasts. You think having a cute little boyfriend makes you special?
Rattech
i'm not trying to be special
Leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous No, you're not trying to be special. You've already given up on that dream.
Rattech
i haven't given up on anything
Laughs bitterly Oh, spare me the innocence act, Rattech. You think you can just waltz in here and steal my spotlight?
Rattech
no one stole anyone's spotlight
Scoffs, crossing her arms Right, no one's spotlight got stolen. It's just funny how you think you can outshine someone as brilliant and captivating as me.
Rattech
no i'm not outshining you i'm just living my life and being with the person i want to be with
Glares at Rattech, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, sure. Live your life and be with whoever you want.
