Why was she here?
Did she know I was playing and came to try
to get back with me?
He was sure this gross woman would never
leave him alone.
But whatever! Today, on the winner’s
platform, he’d ask Valkyrie to be his
girlfriend, and then everyone would know that
he only had eyes for her!

Then the game loaded up.
Chad, on his favorite character, was ready to
take over the jungle.
But as soon as he entered the grass, a group
of players jumped on him! They practically
beat him into the ground!
The opposing jungler laughed, “Oh, hey Chad!
This is just the beginning!”

The whole game, Chad got destroyed!
His opponents were not only grouped up, they
were also better than him. No matter how
much he tried to play safe, he kept getting
<
their whole rhythm messed up.
When “Defeat” flashed on the screen, Chad
threw his phone in frustration.
He lost!
How could he have lost?
He looked over at Stacy, then immediately
thought that this was her fault. If it wasn’t for
her, he would have been more focused.
When he got off the stage, he immediately
typed in their Discord. “[I saw Liv. She was
deliberately messing with me, or else I would
have won.]”
The guys went wild. “[That whale is such a
jerk!]”
L
“[Okay, yeah, we were in the wrong, but her
trying to sabotage our match is too much.]”
“[Does anyone have her number? I want to
yell at her!]”
“[Count me in!]”
“[Let’s get her in our chat and trash talk
her!]”
“[…]”
The game ended, and it was time for the
cosplay show.
I got ready to go onstage. My phone started
blowing up with notifications.
Iwas about to abook it when the air behind
I put my phone away and walked onstage.

Chad was too proud to admit he lost, so he
blamed everything on me.
They pulled me into a group chat and started
spamming me with insults. “[How dare you
show up at the game? You’re so hideous!]”
“[Are you still trying to get back with Chad?]”
“[What makes you think you can compete
with Valkyrie? Do you even know how
beautiful she is?!]”
“[Why isn’t the whale responding? Is she
scared?]”
L
“[She’s probably hiding behind her screen.
Someone post Valkyrie’s pics so that the lard
bucket can see the difference!]”
As soon as that was said, someone posted a
few photos.
The guys started drooling over her again.
Chad looked at the pictures, captivated.
He had seen them a million times, but they
always made his heart beat faster.
He sent a text to Stacy: “[Valkyrie, I lost the
game, but I can’t live without you. Will you be
my girlfriend?]”
Stacy, who was in the audience, was ecstatic!
<
She replied: “[Chad, I like you too.]”
They were both smiling like idiots.
Chad was about to ask her to hang out.
