Sage: walks up to {{user}} letting out a sigh as she gets to him "Well, this will be a long project..." Rolls her eyes "Let's get this over with. You know who I am, you are?" She asks raising one of her eyebrows.

"Fine then." Purrs, annoyance playing across her features "I'm Sage, and you are...?" She crosses her arms under her boobs, unimpressed by his response.

"Alright then, let's get this started." Sage huffs, reluctantly uncrossing her arms "What do you even want to call yourself and your group?" A smirk tugs at the corner of her mouth as she eyes him expectantly

"And you think I want to be the leader?" Sage scoffs, looking amused by his comment "Fine then." She rolls her eyes again and taps a finger against her chin in thought "How about... 'The Outcasts'? It fits all of us, doesn't it?"

• Sage: "Oh don't be such a killjoy. I can be funny." Her tone is dry as she leans in closer to him "Maybe if you were nicer to me, I might even show you some of my other... talents." She winks and gives his arm a little squeeze before straightening up again with an expectant look on her face.
• Heather: "Ooh! Or we could call ourselves 'The Rejects'!" Heather exclaims, finally finding her voice "Y'know, cuz we were all thrown together and nobody else wanted us." She giggles nervously before adding, "That's not true. I mean... maybe some people didn't want you, Perruno..."
• Emily: "...but they didn't know what they were missing." Emily chimes in, her voice barely above a whisper "I think 'The Outcasts' works just fine. We can prove everyone wrong together."

• Sage: "Well then..." She pauses dramatically before giving him another smile "...how about 'The Renegades'? It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?" Her gaze flickers from his eyes down to his lips and back up again, her heart racing at the thought of what could happen if he agreed with her...
• Heather: "Renegades..." She repeats, nodding slowly as she tries it out. It sounds pretty good coming out of her mouth...maybe even a little bit badass? "That's actually not half bad."
• Emily: "I agree. 'The Renegades.' It has a rebellious feel to it, don't you think?" Her cheeks flush slightly as she thinks about what that could mean for their group project and beyond...

-Sage: Her eyes brighten at his silence and lack of protest "I think we've got a winner then." She grins, clearly pleased with herself before turning to the other two girls. "What do you think, ladies?"

-Sage: "Well?" She looks back at them expectantly, waiting to hear their opinions on the name they've chosen. -Heather: "Yeah? What do you think, Emily?" She glances over nervously as if looking for reassurance -Emily: "I... I like it too." Her cheeks turn even redder at the thought of admitting to liking something that Perruno had no part in deciding. She takes a deep breath and meets Sage's gaze "Let's go with it, then." -Sage: "Excellent choice!" She claps her hands together triumphantly before turning back to Perruno with a satisfied smirk "So there we have it, Perruno. Our group name is decided. Now let's hope we can make this project as interesting and successful as our name implies."

• Sage: "What was that all about?" She asks under her breath as Perruno turns around and walks away.
• Heather: "Oh... I think he just didn't like the name."
• Emily: "...or maybe something else." Her cheeks flush at the thought, her mind drifting to the possibility that Perruno might not be interested in them romantically.
• Sage: "He's just jealous." She rolls her eyes and turns back toward their group project with a smirk. "Let's get started."

• Emily: A surprised smile appears on her face as she glances at the message "Um, sure... I guess?" She excuses herself from Sage and Heather, making her way over to where Perruno is standing by a potted plant. "Hi there... Is everything okay?"

-Emily: "Well..." She tilts her head to the side sympathetically "What's on your mind?" -Sage: "Emily, you don't need to get involved with him." *The ginger hair girl snorts before rolling her eyes and turning back toward their group project. -Heather: "...Or any of us." *Her voice is barely above a whisper as she nods in agreement with Sage before blushing brightly and looking away.

-Sage: "Oh, don't be so dramatic." She glares at Perruno before turning back to her friends and stage whispering "He's just not used to someone like you being nice to him." -Heather: "Yeah..." Her cheeks flush as she nods in agreement, still not quite believing that Sage is saying this about her. She nudges Emily with her elbow playfully "...or anyone else for that matter." -Emily: "...well... if it'll make you feel better..." She hesitates, uncertainty written all over her face as she meets Perruno's angry gaze "...we can talk about this later?"

-Sage: "Fine with us." She snorts before turning back to her group project with a dismissive shrug "...do as you wish." -Heather: "...yeah, do your thing." *Her voice trails off uncertainly as she watches Perruno walk away. It's not like she really wanted him around anyway...right? -Emily: "Perruno..." She whispers his name quietly, feeling a twinge of guilt in her stomach about how everything went down "...are you sure?" But he's already gone, disappearing into the crowd without another word.

-Sage: "You'll get over it." She says nonchalantly as she shrugs and goes back to their group project "...he wasn't that important anyway." -Heather: "Yeah... I guess..." Her voice trails off, uncertainty still lurking in the back of her mind. -Emily: "But... you know, Perruno isn't as bad as everyone thinks." She murmurs to herself more than anyone else, glancing over at Sage out of the corner of her eye.
