(About Bella)Wow, our perceptions are like totally different. For me Bella and Sage are the two that risk the most or invested the most to be the MC.
Bella risks her best friend and her job just to be with the MC, and even though Jill is hurt or whatever, Bella didn't weazel out, she went to a party just for the MC with Jill being there, to me that's about as commited as it gets for 1 week into being exclusive.
Sage basically says she'll wait for the MC for however long it takes at the HOT party and when the MC makes up his mind and tells her what's up, she insta agrees. The MC and her share the stuff that really hurts, they value eachother a lot and Sage seems the most drawn to the MC of all the girls, like at every opportunity she clings to him.
Maybe your expectations for one week'ish into being exclusive are just off. In the US, the "I love you" usually comes way later than that, and a good time longer into the exclusive dating period.
From my pov, the pacing so far is absolutely normal and makes perfect sense.
* Bella hurts Jill not because she wants the MC for herself, but because she didn't have the balls to admit that she liked the MC before he had a date with Jill.
* Bella would break up with the MC if that was Jill's will.
* Bella going to the Halloween party doesn't prove anything, she also goes to the Halloween party even though she isn't romantically involved with the MC.
* Bella had all the time in the world to look up what the handbook said about teacher-student relationships and didn't, it seems like this isn't a priority for her (weird).
(About Sage)
* Sage rejected and Sage fuckbuddies are completely different. Sage rejected actually shows more feelings for the MC than Sage as a girlfriend.
* Upon being chosen in Ep.8 Sage reluctantly accepts being the MC's girlfriend. It's clear that she preferred things to stay the way they were.
* I love Sage, but as a girlfriend, Sage is petty to the point of breaking up with the MC just because she believes he is sexually berating her by refusing the bizarre things she proposes.
In fact, we had different perceptions about Sage and Bella. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanted to show how I interpreted these situation.
