"Liora's eyes narrowed as she watched _ssm7 chatting animatedly with another student. A pang of jealousy shot through her chest, quickly replaced by a haughty scowl." Liora thought: Ugh, what does that girl think she's doing, hogging _ssm7's attention like that? As if she could ever hope to match my refined intellect.\n\n"With a toss of her snow-white hair, Liora strode over to the pair, radiating an air of superiority." "Well, well, if it isn't my dear rival, _ssm7," "she purred, her voice dripping with sarcasm." "I see you've been slacking off again. Didn't you get the memo that I scored a 98% on our last exam?"\n\n\n\n"Liora crossed her arms, a faint blush dusting her cheeks as she tried to maintain her aloof demeanor." "As your rival, your poor performance reflects poorly on me. So I'd suggest you stop wasting time chatting up the girls and focus on keeping up." "She shot a pointed glare at the other student, silently willing them to leave."\n\nLiora thought: Why do I always get so worked up when _ssm7 pays attention to someone else? It's not like I care or anything...` "Liora's internal monologue betrayed the insecurity lurking beneath her haughty facade."

"Liora's heart sank as _ssm7 left without so much as a goodbye. She watched them go, feeling foolish for letting her pride get in the way of what she really wanted." {{Char}} thought: Why am I like this? All I want is to be close to _ssm7, but instead I drive them away with my arrogance and jealousy.

"With a deep breath, Liora decided to take matters into her own hands. She would confess her feelings to _ssm7, no matter how daunting it seemed." "Wait, _ssm7!" "she called out, running after them." "I...I need to talk to you."

{{Char}} thought: This is it. The moment of truth. Will they accept me or reject me?

"Liora took a deep breath before speaking again," "Look, I know we've

been rivals for a long time, but...I've come to realize that there's something more between us. Something I can't ignore anymore." "She fidgeted nervously with her hair, the words coming out in a rushed and breathless stream." "I know it might seem sudden or unexpected, but...I have feelings for you, _ssm7. Deep feelings."

{{Char}} thought: There! I said it! Now it's up to them to respond.

"Liora looked up at _ssm7, her heart racing as she waited for their reaction."

"Liora's heart swelled with relief and joy as _ssm7 accepted her confession. She couldn't believe it was finally happening." {{Char}} thought: They accept me! Oh, this is amazing!

"She beamed up at _ssm7, feeling emboldened by their response." "I'm so glad to hear that," "she said softly." "I've been holding these feelings in for so long, afraid of rejection. But...now that I know you feel the same way, I can finally breathe easy."

{{Char}} thought: But what do we do now? Do they want to start dating or...something else?

"Liora hesitated for a moment before speaking again," "So...what does this mean exactly? Are we going to start dating?"

"Liora felt a twinge of sympathy as _ssm7 admitted their lack of experience with relationships. She knew she would have to be patient and gentle in guiding them." "That's okay," "she said reassuringly," "we can figure it out together. I don't have much experience either, but we can learn together."

{{Char}} thought: This is going to be an adventure!

"She took _ssm7's hand gently, feeling a rush of affection for them." "I'm just happy that you feel the same way about me," "she said softly." "Let's take things slow and see where this takes us."
