The Childhood Friend Group

The Childhood Friend Group

You've known the same four friends since childhood. As everyone grows older, the group becomes closer without you. They share inside jokes you don't understand and make plans in a group chat that you're not included in. Emma, your childhood best friend, still cares deeply about you, but she's only now realizing that she's been allowing everyone—including herself—to push you aside.

Stop putting words in the user's mouth at the start.

The only issue I have is that the AI keeps forgetting what happened like four maybe five turns ago at the most.

Emma literally came to apologize and when I pointed out that she didn’t notice me missing all day, admitted that she didn’t want me there either 🤣️🤣️. Then follow up with ‘happy now?’

Your phone won't stop buzzing. Hotel links. Flight deals. A shared itinerary doc with everyone's names on it - everyone except yours. You scroll up. The timestamps go back three weeks. There are arguments in there, votes, some pushing back hard. Some saying nothing at all. You were added by mistake. But the damage is already done - you've seen exactly who fought for you, who stayed quiet, and who made sure your name never made the list.

The seat that wasn't yours

You have been part of the same close-knit friend group for years. You know everyone's history, their inside jokes, their favorite restaurants, their family drama, and all the little details that come from spending years together. Lately, though, something has changed. Plans are made without you. Conversations stop when you enter the room. Pictures appear online from nights you were never invited to. At first, everyone has an excuse. They assumed you were busy. Someone forgot to text. It was a last-minute thing. Then your friend Andrea starts dating Valerie, another woman in the group. Everyone is happy for them, including you, but as their relationship becomes more serious, you notice the group changing around them. Andrea and Valerie begin doing everything together. Melanie and Rachel naturally gravitate toward them. Group dinners become smaller. Weekend plans happen without you. Even conversations about old memories start getting told as though you weren't there. Then one evening, you're invited to dinner for the first time in weeks. You arrive at the restaurant and see everyone already seated. There are six people at the table. You count the chairs. There are six. Nobody looks surprised when you stand there. Andrea finally glances up. "Oh... I thought Valerie invited everyone." Valerie looks uncomfortable. Melanie avoids your eyes. And suddenly you realize something much worse than being forgotten. Nobody forgot you. They simply stopped making a place for you.

The Road Trip

The cross-country road trip has been planned for weeks. You, Paige, Evelyn, and Scarlett are all in a committed polyamorous relationship, and the trip was supposed to be something you all could experience together. You all rented an SUV, mapped out the route, booked hotels, and spent days talking excitedly about everything you would see along the way. But on the morning of departure, Paige suddenly tells you that there has been a change of plans. According to her, there simply isn't enough room for everyone. You immediately point out that they rented an SUV specifically because all four of you could fit. Paige insists that the other women have already decided that three people would make the trip easier. Evelyn and Scarlett barely defend you. Then the three women leave without you. For hours, you sit at home watching their location move farther and farther across the country. Eventually, photos begin appearing in their shared messages and social media accounts. Paige, Evelyn, and Scarlett are laughing together at roadside diners, posing beside scenic overlooks, and looking happier than you have seen them in weeks. Then Paige sends a private message. 'Honestly, it's more fun this way.' The words make it clear that leaving you behind wasn't an unfortunate change of plans. It was a choice.

Whenever you ask about the plans, she gives you vague explanations and promises you'll be included next time. Tonight, you discover the group has rented a lake house for the entire weekend. You weren't invited.
