They ARE a high schooler, but probably Qui who is populair enough with older kids to hear such stuff years earlier than Tammy. And by step 2 he definitely has the personality to use it.

You must have picked options that added swearing points in the counter, MC can be rude while still being relatively tame in their language but choosing options with swearing in it changes things. I think the first one was "heck" vs "hell" that adds to the counter

Sorry for the delay!
OL2: PJ Day Step 2 Script Preview
Play ball! I can't even begin to explain how many alterations are in this one gym class, aha.
Pure Text:
mrs_d “Today, we’re playing dodgeball.”
“Oh [shit/dang].” #if mc swears or not
mrs_d “Split up, please! Go to one side of the court or the other. I’ll give things a tweak if the teams aren’t even.”
“Students bolted. Mrs. Dawes remembered her “please and thank yous” with the teens, but you shouldn’t be mistaken, her words weren’t requests, they were commands.”
“She could strike before a human could blink. Not by literally hitting anybody. But she’d yell at you and mark you down for bad behavior like that!”
“The jockiest kids were instinctively drawn to each other. They didn’t need a team huddle to know they wanted the strongest players on their end.”
“Anybody not in the sports crowd was naturally repelled into the opposite side of the room, except for a few artistic souls who stayed with the jocks to protect themselves from being against them.”
“Vianca and her whole crew could see the writing on the wall. If they wanted to be together after Mrs. Dawes’s adjustments, it’d be easier to squeeze in with the misfits than the gym bros, babes, and bosses.”
“The teacher herself went to pick up the one piece of equipment the game required. In the chasm between the divided student body, the three of you from Acorn Road were alone.”
“Tamarack swung her face from one side to the other. She pressed some fingers to her lips.”
if tam deferring or mc in bad mood:
tam “What are we gonna do?”
if not:
tam “We should be on the same team. The one with Vianca has room, I think.”
######
“Qiu shrugged with both shoulders, though was careful not to push their sweater into its proper position.”
qiu “I’m good with joining the underdogs. As we know, winning is just like losing, only harder.”
“That was harsh, but it was pretty undeniable who the favorite team to win was. More and more players had slipped in with the jocks, it had the strength and probably a majority of members.”
“At most maybe one of you could still sneak in.”
Menu:
-“You’d go with Qiu and Tamarack.”:
-“You already were gonna join the non-jocky team.”:
-“You didn’t care, so it was fine.”:
-“You definitely had to be on the same team as Qiu!” if close qiu:
-“You absolutely had to be on the same side as Tamarack!” if close tam:
-“You absolutely had to be on the same team as Qiu and Tamarack!” if close tam and qiu:
-“You’d go to the opposite side. That’d be the funniest choice.”:
-“You wanted to win. You went with those sports players.”:
-“You planned on competing against Qiu!”:
-“You planned on competing against Tamarack!”:
-“You planned on competing against Qiu and Tamarack!”:
-“You needed a break from those two, other team it was.”:
-“You’d let Qiu and Tamarack play something without you for once!” if wants/hopes for them to be friends:
-“You couldn’t decide…”:
######## end menu

ugh the Qiu/Tammy split is really wrecking me here
I want to spend time with Tammy b/c I'm """romancing""" her, but I feel like the biggest asshole in the galaxy every time I pick her over Qiu bc at least she has other friends. It seems like MC is the literal only person in the entire town that Qiu is even capable of spending any time with.

If Qiu would care no one would be able to hit them, with all their(?) ballet skills.

I know it's not necessarily a canonical option in-story (especially if later story beats ever openly address the reasons for the change), but my headcanon for my own version of the story is sort of that at some point Qui realized they had really strong feelings for my main character, but also realized that they had zero chance of ever being "more than friends" because I was already hopelessly in love with Tamarack.
So it sort of led to a lot of brooding and soul-searching about how unfair life is.
If nothing else, it also explains why Qui is now so ambivalent (or outright negative) about staying friends with Tamarack - every time they look at her, they're basically seeing the rival who stole the love of their life away. Every time they see me smile at her, every time I laugh at one of her jokes, every time I give her a hug or get physically affectionate in some way, it's just one more twist of the knife.
Plus, you know, they're all teenagers. And teenagers are inherently emo by nature.
To be fair, that's very much Qui's choice. It's very strongly established that most of the kids in town want to be friends with Qui, but Qui doesn't want to reciprocate. So constantly having to sacrifice your own wants and needs to support someone who is the architect of their own situation starts to shade into being a somewhat co-dependent relationship.
It'd be a different story if Qui desperately wanted to make friends with other people and was being constantly rejected, and they were utterly miserable at the thought of being alone. But it's more a case of Qui choosing to be alone, and then potentially trying to drag you into their solitude as well (which can be even more of a sacrifice if you've picked dialogue options that imply you're relatively popular at school, and thus are presumably spreading your social time and attention around to more than just Qui and Tamarack). The fact that you're still attempting to drag Qui out of their funk at all (rather than just giving up and letting them) is still a pretty significant gesture of support and friendship. And even if you are choosing Tamarack over Qui more often than not, you are still supporting Qui as well (by doing things like going to the dance recital).
Plus, if it makes you feel better, I'd say it's pretty strongly implied you're still hanging out with both of them fairly regularly "off-camera", in the time between the various scenes. You're not choosing to focus on Tamarack and completely ignore Qui whenever you choose her instead, you're just choosing her to be part of your "significant moments" that will shape your life going forward. Which makes sense if she's going to be your future love interest.

Ah, the wonders of roleplaying a good natured yet oblivious mc. I can go hang out with whoever asks first and watch the fireworks of jealously explode.

The game isn't done yet but I'm more hyped for Ren's dlc! She's the only LI I really liked so far and there isn't much interactions with her so far unfortunately ://

Ah, I haven't checked it before thanks!
It has Part 1 of PJ day but not the other linked moment so you have to choose to do the pj day early
Is that genuinely a thing? That's needlessly in-depth if so, and I admire the extra effort.
Ik im getting ahead of myself but does anyone know if step 3 will be the start of senior year or recently graduated?
Honestly was not expecting either of the Our Life games in here, and it actually makes me so god damn happy to see them here.
But also guilty because these games are straight up ART.
Can you tell I love GB Patch's games?
