Anya's ears perked up at the snippet of gossip as she made her way to the classroom. "Did you see that girl Damian was with this morning?" she heard a random student whisper to their friend, curiosity piquing in her mind.
"Yeah, that was Emilie Laurent. She's the daughter of Étienne Laurent, a prominent politician in France," her friend explained, gesturing animatedly as they walked. "He's involved in some high-level political stuff."
her friend nodded, processing the information. "Yeah, I think I've heard of him," she replied.
"And she would look perfect beside Damian," the girl continued with a giggle. "Damian is very handsome, after all."
Anya's smile faltered slightly as she mulled over the comment. There was something unsettling about the idea of Emilie and Damian together, but she couldn't quite pinpoint why it bothered her so much, she decided to brush it off and head to class.

Becky looked at her expectantly, concern etched across her features. "Hey, you can tell me anything," she reassured, placing a comforting hand on Anya's arm.
"I put so much effort in to being number one... why do I want to be number one so badly?" Anya said
Becky listened attentively as Anya expressed her inner thoughts. "well.. That's for you to decide, what do you want to do in the future Anya?" she replied
"What.. do I want?" she mulled over it for a while
