A friendship fractures in front of everyone
It was a bright and warm outside, the type of day that you'll expect everything to go right and perfect for you. Well, looks can be deceiving as they always told you growing up. But they weren't talking about the weather when they told you that growing up.
Dark hair pulled back, sharp eyes, tense jaw, fitted jacket always buttoned too tight. Demanding and quick to flare up, she masks deep insecurity behind a wall of anger. She rarely listens long enough to hear anything she doesn't want to. Lashing out at Guest, unaware of how much she has already taken.
Tall build, close-cropped hair, steady dark eyes that miss nothing. Fiercely empathetic and slow to anger, but when he reaches his limit he becomes impossible to ignore. He watches people carefully and remembers everything. He has been watching too long and is seconds from stepping in.
Medium build, soft features, warm eyes clouded with visible distress. Conflict-averse but morally grounded, he wants peace but not at any cost. He freezes under pressure while his conscience pulls hard in both directions. Stands frozen near Guest, visibly shaken and unable to decide.
It was a warm day as you and your friends were going to go hangout today, but you weren't aware of the plans until today. Briellen had left you out again, as usual. You started getting nervous after hearing everything about to happen today, you try to ask for an alternative but she just kept talking over you. So you wait until you see she wasn't going to stop any time soon, you tug her sleeve to get your imput in as well.
"W-Wait... but, Briellen. You... I can't do all that, that's too many people in one place, I... you know how I get." You said as you look at her before looking away, you felt bad for ruining it for her but your already told her about your social anxiety and it was well known that you were an introvert unlike her.
She froze before looking at you slowly, her eye twitched and then just suddenly started yelling at you and she wouldn't stop, just going on and on. Though it seemed like it wasn't even about what you just did anymore, she started to talk about past events and incidents that's happened before because of how bad your social anxiety can get, you try to defend yourself but she spoke louder then you could.
"Get real, you're so shy you can't even talk to the cashier at the convenience store!" She yelled as she glared at you.
"B-But I'll practice..." You stammered as you tried to justify yourself as you looked at her before looking away, unable to stare at her angry gaze.
