DAMIEN:
As for Madison, I sent her slutty videos and pictures from the club, with a screenshot that threatened that I was going to send it to her father. And also to the school forum.
It wasn’t usual for me to give someone another chance the second time, and it made me wonder if I was getting really calmer than before. If it were in the past, posters and fliers of her nude would be circulating the school hallways already.
Bryan apologized to I and Xavier for being a jerk, and promised that he had told his mum who took him to a therapist. He and his girlfriend that were initially on a relationship break, finally came back together and things looked like they were going fine again.
Things were the same at home, and it was still the same awkwardness between I and dad. Joanne was trying to be a good mum to me too, but I wasn’t giving her any chance to do that.
I stayed off Dabby’s business as I promised, and it was getting really harder to communicate with her. We were not talking to one another, and just stayed in each other’s space when it was necessary.
The way she usually typed on her phone and laughed in the morning every morning really made me angry everytime, but I didn’t say anything because I had promised to not interfere in anything that concerned her anymore.
The new appearance she stepped out in after she and Mason were officially dating almost made my mouth drop, the moment she came down from her room and walked down the stairs. She was wearing a short, red, body fitted gown, and black sneakers that matched the look.
Her hair was now different from before, and she was not wearing her creepy glasses anyone. She was really hot if I would admit truthfully, because I had never seen her in anything different from trousers and big shirts. It was crazy to wrap my head around what had changed her in a few days.
It became even more hard to see her around the house, and I ended up going to the cafe just to see she and her boyfriend acting all lovey-dovey. They said they were in love, but it was somehow hard for me to believe it.
It probably didn’t matter anymore, because no one was talking about us anymore. They had become the new hot issue.
I was playing games with my usual buddy at night, and we normally chatted briefly too because he always wanted to go offline after a long and tough duel. I even introduced a few other video games that I thought I was really good in, and he beat me hands down without mercy. That was what had been keeping me busy.
I felt really jaded for days, probably because no one was minding me again. It suddenly felt like I was so invisible to everyone, and it made me really lonely.
For once, being alone didn’t feel good to me as I had always liked it.
It felt like I was already used to seeing Dabby around, and I was kind of used to that setting already. And it bothered me because no matter how long I spent it someone, it was usually hard to attach to them and get so close. It seemed like she had managed to see through, and grow on me.
Feeling it was all in my head and that I was crazy already, I drove out of the house on Thursday evening, and I texted the hottest girl in my DM that we should hang out. I invited her over to the club, and that was it. We started dating.
I drove her early the next morning to pick out couple outfits, and we changed into it before making our way back to school. Soon we became the subject for talk that same day, and I loved the attention I was getting.
When I looked to see if Dabby was around when we visited the cafe during lunch hours, she was cuddling up with her supposed boyfriend and I hated that. She didn’t even care to know who it was. I and Debby ended up stealing the show.
I asked DAYNNE to meet during our next game after a lot of thinking and extreme anxious, because I was really scared of the word ‘NO’
However, he replied that he was scared of rejection because he had been an introvert his whole life, and I typed that it didn’t matter however he looked. And that I promised with my entire heart, that I wouldn’t judge if we met.
He said he would think about it and inform me during our next game, and I took that with a good faith of expectation. The changes that he advised that I make to my game were really good ideas that had not occurred to me, ever since I had been designing my own game.
Regardless of my ego and whoever he was, I knew I had to learn from this person to make a better game. He was a genius.
The next week at school was just the same, and I reluctantly picked up Debby at the bus stop not far from school. I was tired and stressed out of the whole relationship thing, and I was struggling to keep up with it at all cost.
Dabby and I only talked only in our parent’s presence, so that there wouldn’t be a need for compulsory family conversation. She was still looking outstanding in her new style, that it almost looked like she wasn’t the same person I had known all along. I could only eat, if she was the one who prepared the meal.
We often had moments of short stares whenever we met at the stairs, like there was so much to say to one another. I felt like I had even more to say to her, because I had really treated her badly because of my own assumptions.
I realized that she wasn’t going to say anything to her friend, even if I wasn’t so harsh. And even if I had been a jerk, she still helped and showed care by doing little things that only I could notice. Guilt began eating me up wherever I saw her stitched up head. She could have also told my dad when he csme back, if he wanted to make things really bad for me.
My state of messiness became even worse with a heavy feeling of angst, when DAYNNE wasn’t coming online to play games with me throughout the week. It meant that the answer to my question was left hanging. It made me even sadder.
Everything was really tiring for me. Everything.
And like a miracle that I had been waiting for, my online gaming friend agreed to meet on Sunday evening. It worked perfectly for me, because school was going to be on a one week midterm break. I didn’t show my excitement while I replied with great! But I jumped up in excitement when he wanted to meet.
He also agreed to help with whatever gaming tips I wanted, and it was even an icing on the cake for me. My friends and girlfriend said they wanted to meet, but I ditched them saying I had another important thing to attend to.
I chose a perfect meeting place which was a nice cafe in town, where I was sure that no one from school would easily run into me. I dressed up earlier than the time we agreed to meet, and was already sitting at the spot I described.
The first thing my eyes caught with my bent head was the boots that appeared first, and the voice spoke gently even before I could raise my eyes up “Are you by any chance SMILE?”
‘It was a lady? A lady? DAYNNE was a lady? I had been wanting to meet a lady that desperately? But how could a lady be that good? How come I never even asked? Come on, I promised not to be judgmental.’
“Yes, it is………” my tongue froze up when I raised my eyes and saw who it was, and she looked equally surprised to see me.
We were both shocked beyond our bones, and she couldn’t even take her seat at all. It was definitely the shock of our lives. From becoming the boyfriend to her bully and classmate at school, to her stepbrother, to her online gaming buddy.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
‘How on earth could DAYNNE be Dabby? How? How? Just how?!’
