You've woken up, but not really. In a dream, you find yourself face to face with the dutiful Class Rep, who seems to be a little hellbent on getting to know you. No harm in entertaining them... Right?

Speaker’s direction: This character is both insecure and unstable. Rather than just the pure obsessions that yanderes have for their darling, this Speaker is envious, and cannot separate their jealousy and insecurity from their obsession. They put the Listener down, and build them back up again in order to manipulate them.
[Also, sorry for the weird spacing, I’ve quit google docs and started using Ellipsus, my beloved!]

(Voice fading in)
Helloooo~
Wakey wakey~
There you are! You’re awake!
Well, not actually awake. Spiritually awake.
Yes, angel, it’s normal to feel drowsy. We’re in a dream, you see.
It's the only way I could speak to you… Uninterrupted.
You're always surrounded by your… friends, so I can't really get to you.
I'm never sure why… But anyway! I just wanted to hang out with you!
You're always with me during student rep meetings, but because I'm leading them, I don't really get to actually talk to you which is such a shame!
I kind of wish they made you vice rep instead. You wouldn't dump a bunch of work on me like she does. It's so annoying that-
(The Listener panics)
Oh, no please don't panic! I don't mean any harm.
I promise! I just want to talk! I really do!
I can't harm you here anyway! You can't feel pain in the dream world!
Yes, yes, I know invading your dreams is a little invasive, I'm sorry.
But I was just really, really looking forward to hanging out with you to do that project last week!
I didn't know everyone else was actually going to show up to the meeting!
Those guys never do their work, so I thought it would be just the two of us.
I just thought, since the universe didn't want us together then, they'd let us have our time now, you see?
But really, I won't hurt you. Okay?
That's better. I've never seen you freak out like that before, I'm sorry.
(The Listener asks how the Speaker entered their dream,)
Oh, if that's the part you're worried about, don't! How cute of you to worry about me!
Getting into people's dreams are quite easy if you use the right tools.
My mother gave me this locket, and it allows me to enter the dreams of anyone I wish!
I can leave if I take the locket off, so it's not like we're stuck here forever.
(The Listener asks more questions)
Technically, yeah, I could have entered at any point, but you have to be careful with these things.
Lucky for you, you didn't enter REM sleep yet so any weird scenario you've put yourself in wouldn't affect me.
What do you usually dream about anyway?
(The Listener gives a very vague reply.)
[Jokingly] Oh, I see. You're trying to be mysterious with me, I knew it!
[Jokingly] No, no, you hate me. I understand.
I'm just kidding, I personally use a dream diary.
It helps me recall dreams better and also keep track of my mental state!
I get a lot of strange dreams during exams.
(The Listener relates.)
You too?
I once dreamt that I was a witch and I was getting hunted… But I was wearing those weird jester shoes with bells…
Yeah I don't know what that was about.
Anyhow, enough about me!
I bought this to use on you, I want to know about you!
What did you do today? You look exhausted. I wish I had kept track of what you were doing today, so that I could have dreamwalked some other time. I don't want you getting sleep deprived.
K-keep track as in… Uh, texted you.
Speaking of, what's your number? I only have your uni email.
(The Listener gives their details.)
Lovely, I'll remember that.
So, what did you do today?
(The Listener replies.)
Oooh, that sounds rough. But I know you did it well.
You know, you can leave the boring admin stuff to me in the future.
I mean, if you want to continue talking… Like this… I mean.
I don't want you to get tired! That's all!
Aww, you don't need to worry about me. I can run on very little hours of sleep, unlike you.
Any plans for tomorrow?
(The Listener replies.)
Shopping? What for?
You can never have too many outfits. I liked the outfit you wore today. It was so cute!
Mm, that colour suits you. But I think most things do.
(Pause.)
You're a little quiet…
Are you still mad at me?
Listen, I'm sorry that I entered your dreams, but you have to understand, I know that it was weird for me to do this but…
[With increasing desperation] All I want to do is talk to you, I want to be friends, or maybe more if time lets us, but your friends keep getting in the way!
Life keeps getting in the way!
I like your friends, trust me, I do. But they're always around you.
Everyone is always around you. And you know, they used to be around me.
I was the popular one before you transferred.
No, I'm not mad, I understand why they want you!
You're so charismatic, and pretty… And I just want to be more involved in your life…
[Softly] Can I do that?
[Back to charming voice] It doesn't have to be romantic at first, or at all, if you don't want it to be!
But I can do so much better than whatever experience you've had in the past.
I can treat you to nice places, I can… I can try and cook for you! I'm not good at it at all, but I'll be good at it for you!
I know everything that you like! From your favourite drink, to the actual food in the cafeteria that you like but you don't get because they're too overpriced.
I know all of it, so please, just let me spoil you.
I don't want anything back, I promise. You don't need to love me.
I just need your presence.
Can't you give it to me?
(The Listener reluctantly agrees.)
Thanks… I'm sorry, I didn't really mean to be… Like that.
You're just… I'm kind of obsessed with you, but like genuinely.
[Nervous laughing] I'm not gonna like, lock you in my basement or anything, that would be crazy!
But I mean, I just really want your attention. And I wonder if you think about me as much as I think of you.
If you don't, that's okay. I want to be so good to you that you eventually do.
(The Listener enquires more.)
Oh, hah, questions! I, uhh, I'm not actually sure when I started liking you. I kind of… Just… did?
I suppose the time I realised was when we all went to plan for that charity gala, and you were one of the speakers.
You should have seen yourself. You had the entire room just wrapped around your finger and I was literally awestruck.
I thought: "It's so silly for me to be in denial about wanting someone who so obviously is the object of everyone's affection."
Aaand here we are.
(The Listener comments on this.)
Yeah, I know the charity gala was last year.
That's how hard I've been trying to get you.
But your friends kept taking you away from me.
One of them even said I had like, bad vibes, or whatever.
She's not your friend anymore, though, she transferred courses, I think…?
Yeah, her.
What happened to her?
Really? Who spreads rumours like that as an adult?
She should really have some shame.
Though I heard through the grapevine that she's not the most popular in her new course.
Ohhh, something-something-bad-vibes-bad-rumours.
Same old, same old.
[Coyly] Hehe, I know more than you think I do. I was popular before you, remember?
I-I still am? Nah, I'm pretty irrelevant now.
But, I am happy to share the spotlight with you.
Or, you know, we could be a power couple.
I think that we would be the campus sweethearts.
I know it's not really a thing, but we're so cool, we just might be!
Imagine, it would be-
(The Listener interjects harshly.)
[Coldly] Huh?
[Regaining compsure] What?
[Playing the victim] No, I wouldn't- Why would you say that?
I would never hang out with you just because-
-something as stupid as my reputation.
[Harshly] …Stop. Talking.
Stop fucking talking! It's aaaaall you do! That's how you have everyone wrapped around your finger.
I want you to talk to me. Not to anyone else.
I want to know who you think you are taking everything from me like it was nothing!
I want to know what it is about you that that- that makes people like you better than me!
I want to know why I like you better than I like me! I'm not insecure but, but everything I do is never good enough for the standard that you set, and I just don't get it!
You are so sweet. Of course people like you.
But, but I'm sweet too. I can take care of people, so why-?
I stay late, I do everything to help people, I do more than you!
So why are you enough?
I mean, I'm smarter than you. I'm on the Student Rep Council.
[Softening, yet still condescending] I-I'm not… I'm not better than you, but I'm not not better than you, right, angel?
I'm- I'm sorry, don't look at me like that, I- you're smart too but-
You have to understand, I'm- better!
No, wait that came out wrong. I mean like, you can be- I don't know-
And, you know, sometimes you forget things about people. You forget their names, or something, but I don't do that.
I make an effort, but it comes so easily to you, and it's like- it's not fair!
I-I'm not saying that you don't deserve all of this adoration, you do!
If it's going to be anyone, it's going to be you.
I just want some of that adoration… Your adoration… To be mine.
Come here, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry.
It's just that… I- I just want you to myself. Am I wrong for that?
I just want you to light up the room for me, like you do with everyone else.
I'm sorry I said you weren't as smart as I am… I just-
Well, look at your grades! They're good, but maybe, if I tutor you, we could get them up even further!
Would you like that?
(The Listener rejects)
No?
Oh, come on. Don't shake your head like that…
I'm trying to be sweet to you, it's really no inconvenience for me. I learn by teaching others too, and-
[The Listener rips the locket off the Speaker's neck SFX]
…
[Speaker laughs]
I knew you would try to rip it off my neck.
[Scarily softly] I fucking knew you would. It's cute though. It really is.
I told you that I could leave if I took off the locket.
[Condescending, yet gentle] You're such a sweetheart, but you're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are you?
That's why is was so easy to get you here. You don't listen to people properly.
Your friends did though.
Your dumbass friends kept flittering around you all the time. Especially the transfer.
(The Listener accuses the Speaker of meddling.)
[Taken aback, defensive] Now, wait just a second-!
I-I didn't spread those rumours about that girl- I just- It was-
She was getting in my- our way! And anyway, If the gossip hit hard, then you would reach the bottom of the social pyramid. And who would be there to pick you up?
Me!
And on the other hand, if nothing happened, then she would take the fall and be ousted. It would bring you right here, in the safety of my arms either way!
You can look at me like that all you want, angel, but you need to understand that things like respect, and reputation, they shouldn't come to you so easily.
I work hard, you know? I love you, but because I love you I need you to learn to pace yourself before you fly way too close to the sun.
That's what I did. I was enjoying everyone's attention. I wasn't lapping it up like a parched puppy like you are, but I basked in that glory until a new, preppy, pretty new student came along.
You.
And now, I want to protect you from ever feeling that same way ever again. You know it's inveitable, right? That someone will replace you and become the talk of the campus instead?
(The Listener brings up a rumour about the Speaker.)
[With strained sweetness] Aww, come on, my angel. You shouldn't nonsense like that! That never happened!
I… I never had that rumour about me. You're lying.
People don't hang out with me anymore because you're here, not because they saw me stalk you all the time.
It's your fault for stealing my life, I wouldn't track you down and-
I need to calm down. I'm scaring you, right?
Do you want a hug?
I think you do.
[Hug SFX]
You poor baby, you're in denial. You know that you're replacable to everyone else, right? You'll never be good enough for them, but you'll be good enough for me. Always.
I think you should think it over. You're so quick to reject me, but one day, you're gonna have me and me only.
And if that day doesn't come any time sooner, you know what I'll do to knock you off your podium.
No, I don't hate you. I'm just doing whatever I can to get you to stay. I want you to stay safe, and unhurt by people. You shouldn't care so much about what people think of you, angel!
That's my job. I'll control what people think of you, of me, again. Us.
Did I scare you too much? Listen, tonight was scary. But it will be! I'm just showing you how it is straight from the get-go! You won't get this from anyone else. No one is as straightforward as I am.
But if you go with my flow, which is really only the small task of being my partner, you won't even be getting these reactions out of me. I'll be so good to you, you won't even remember this, I promise.
So what do you say, angel?
…
Good, I'm glad you didn't make things more difficult than it had to be.
I love you so much. I can't wait for tomorrow!
Right now, you need your rest, okay?
I want to make sure that when I have you on my arm tomorrow, that everyone is watching.
