The situation
A girl called Mia noticed that her friend Jade only seems to reach out when her other friends are busy — when she's bored, needs homework help, or has nobody else available. On normal days, Jade barely acknowledges Mia. The pattern has been going on for months. Mia enjoys the time she does spend with Jade. But she's started to feel like she's a back-up option, not a real friend.
