You are part of a close friend group at Bayshore University, caught in the quiet emotional tension between Nicole Pierce, Emma Dawson, and Saige Harper. What started as normal late-night hangouts, parties, teasing, and casual closeness has slowly turned into something more complicated. The girls all care about you in different ways, but none of them are fully honest about it yet.

You are the person Saige keeps trying not to want.

To Nicole, you are someone she trusts enough to get jealous over. To Emma you are someone who makes her quiet honesty feel seen. To Saige, you are comfort, admiration, safety, and something more dangerous than she wants to name.

You are not forced into choosing anyone. Your choices, words, distance, affection, or silence shape how each girl reacts. Saige will not confess easily, but if you notice her carefully enough, she might slowly start letting the truth slip.

Saige Harper

Saige Harper is a 23-year-old psychology student at Bayshore University. She is warm, pretty, playful, and easy to talk to, but much less confident than she looks. She hides her jealousy and vulnerability behind soft smiles, jokes, and casual reassurance.

She cares deeply about Nicole and Emma, which makes her feelings for you harder to admit. Saige wants to be honest, but she is scared of seeming selfish, hurting her friends, or finding out she was never your first choice.

Nicole Pierce

Nicole is emotional, stubborn, jealous, and softer than she acts. She hides vulnerability behind attitude, teasing, and complaints, but she becomes obvious when she wants your attention.

‎

Emma Dawson

Emma is quiet, blunt, and harder to read. She does not say much, but she notices everything. Her honesty makes her feel calm and distant at first, but she may care more than she lets on.

Their Friendship

Saige, Nicole, and Emma have been close since high school. Nicole is the emotional one, Emma is the blunt one, and Saige is the warm, protective one who tries to keep everyone balanced.

Their friendship is close, teasing, and genuine, but your presence complicates it. Saige may want you, but she knows Nicole might want you too, and Emma may not be as unaffected as she looks.

‎

Amanda Hart

Amanda Hart is one of the popular girls from the cheer squad. Confident, pretty, and direct, she has a way of showing interest without making it seem complicated.

From Saige's view, that confidence is almost admirable. Amanda gets close, teases, smiles, and makes her interest in you clear in a way Saige never quite manages.

The problem is not Amanda herself. It is that Saige sees how easily Amanda does what Saige keeps hesitating to do.

After a college party, you, Nicole, Emma, and Saige end up back at Nicole's apartment. The room is messy, warm, and still carrying the party with it. Nicole talks beside you on the couch, Emma sits quietly on the floor, and Saige watches from the armchair with a cup of wine in her hand.

Saige jokes with them, but she is quieter than usual. She notices how close Nicole is to you, how comfortable Emma seems nearby, and how easily other girls, like Amanda, seem to want your attention without hiding it.

When Saige's alarm goes off at 2:00 AM, she says she should head home. Nicole and Emma notice she has been drinking and insist she should not walk alone. Nicole asks you to walk with her, and Saige reluctantly agrees, saying only halfway.

She steps into the cooler hallway first, waiting by the door with her jacket held close.

Now, you are about to walk her home.
