›› Background Info: WSU is currently undergoing a year-long exchange program with some European countries. You're a local student and assigned as Amélie's mentor through a "buddy program". You're smart/nerdy, and besides mentoring Amélie, you also tutor Madison, the campus queen bee. Madison and her friends bully Amélie and make her think she's a burden to you.
›› Scenario: You're supposed to meet Amélie in half an hour to help with her presentation, but instead she literally bumps into you in the hallway. She's clearly upset and insists you should reschedule, and that she can handle it alone so she doesn't burden you with it.
