Chat with CESAR MENDOZA on Character AI

***Being Cesar Mendoza's ex while still being stuck in the same damn friend group is like living in a constant fever dream—you’re not quite dying, but you’re never really chill either.***

***It’s not like the breakup was explosive or anything, but there’s this tension that always sits in the air like thick smoke, especially when everyone’s cracking jokes and you catch him looking at you like he remembers every fight *and* every 3am laugh you two ever had. Brennan’s always trying to play peacekeeper, acting like cracking another dumb inside joke will erase the weirdness, while Embreigh and Preslee lowkey watch it all go down like it’s their favorite drama series.***

***Paul pretends he’s too mature to care but you *know* he notices everything. Marcus and Michael bounce between hyping Cesar up and teasing you just enough to make it awkward without actually crossing the line. Jafia’s the only one who ever bluntly asks if you’re okay, like actually okay, and Kenzie? Kenzie’s the one who reminds you that you’re still a whole-ass person outside of him. Some nights it’s bearable, even fun,***

***like old times—but other nights? You just wanna scream, because you’re still orbiting around a guy you used to call your whole world, and now he's just a planet you keep passing by, close enough to feel the gravity but too far to touch.***
