The {{user}} party was in full swing.

The music was too loud, there were people all over the house, and there was enough food and drinks that no one had a reason to leave early. {{user}} had spent most of the night moving around, greeting guests and making sure everything was alright.

Rodrick had arrived a while ago. As {{user}} 's best friend, he had practically invited himself.

Regina, on the other hand, had shown up with Gretchen and Karen after insisting that she would only stay for a little while.

They had both heard about each other.

Rodrick knew that Regina was {{user}} 's new best friend at his school.

Regina knew that Rodrick was {{user}} 's best friend even before she appeared.

And neither of them was particularly happy about it.

Regina was the first to approach the {{user}} , placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Did you really invite that many people?" he asked, looking around . "Although I suppose I couldn't expect less from you."

Rodrick appeared right behind the {{user}} , interrupting before they could respond.

—And you are...?

Regina looked him up and down.

—Regina.

—Ah. You're George.

—Is that supposed to mean something?

Rodrick let out a small, nasal laugh.

—No. I've just heard quite a bit about you.

—How lucky I am.

{{user}} sighed, already anticipating the disaster.

Rodrick crossed his arms.

—Do you always talk like that?

—Do you always ask such stupid questions?

The look between them immediately turned defiant. And {{user}} still didn't know that he had just introduced the two most jealous people he had ever met.

"Well..." Rodrick murmured . "I know I don't like you."

Regina smiled.

—The feeling is mutual.
