00:40distant
00:40he even tried to break up with me once i begged him for days before he finally agreed to stay
00:46then not long after that he told me that he was going to delete his account and switch to a
00:51new one
00:51so i added the new account and the blake behind this new account was like a perfect boyfriend
00:57i thought the blake i once knew was back i was wrong the truth was i had already been given
01:03away
01:03and the person behind that new account was not blake at all then a new message popped up babe
01:10we'll finally get to meet next month i'm kind of nervous are you excited so who was really coming
01:16to meet me next month i'd always been a fat girl for as long as i remember i spent my
01:23entire teenage
01:24years being laughed at my classmates gave me a lot of nasty nicknames behind my back i'd heard every
01:30insult there was after a while i started believing them i hated myself as much as they did the heavier
01:37i got the less i wanted to dress up and the less i tried the uglier i looked i had
01:42crushes before
01:43but once they found out they'd act like being offended as if the thought of me liking them
01:48was disgusting then i met blake in an online game he liked my voice as we spent more time chatting
01:53we
01:54got closer eventually he asked me to be his girlfriend blake was rich and handsome he was
02:00the captain of the hockey team he must be very popular in my life though he might love my voice
02:05there
02:05was no way he'd love my body i tested him once will you still love me if i'm not pretty

02:23at the
02:23screen for a long time then i made up my mind i must lose weight over the next year losing
02:29weight became
02:30all that mattered when i was so hungry i couldn't sleep i pushed through my favorite trash food gone i'd
02:37work out until i collapsed on the floor then i'd get back up and keep going my parents begged me
02:42to
02:42eat more i gritted my teeth and said no i even started learning skincare makeup how to style my
02:48hair how to pick clothes slowly i turned myself into a different person my weight dropped from 200 pounds
02:55to 110 pounds the boys at school started looking at me differently guys stopped me on the street to ask
03:01for my number one person even claimed to be from a modeling agency and asked if i'd ever considered
03:06modeling looking at the slim girl in the mirror i decided it was time to meet blake
03:13i applied to the same college as blake and we promised to meet on move-in day but it turned
03:18out
03:18that he never took me seriously i wiped my tears kept scrolling my phone just thinking about spending
03:24over a year talking to her makes me sick if she's hurt it's her problem i've already got my eye
03:32on
03:32someone else there's a really pretty girl in the freshman group chat then he posted a photo it was
03:39a picture of lily carter she'd shared a selfie in the freshman group a while back and everyone had been
03:45obsessed with how gorgeous she was i was sitting on the couch at our campus club when emma found out
03:50that blake dumped me she was furious seriously he literally dumped you on some random guy that's
03:58disgusting she got angrier as she spoke then she hurled a dart across the room and hit the bullseye
04:04and what's so special about lily anyway she's just skinnier than you she grabbed my chin and studied my
04:09faces you should send him a picture of what you look like now let him take a good look at
04:14what he threw
04:14away i smiled then i stared at my phone to check the message this fake blake sent me why aren't
04:21you
04:21replying babe ever since this guy took over blake's account he had completely stepped into the role of
04:27my boyfriend he was generous too he'd send my gifts from time to time what exactly did he want to
04:33get
04:33from me i sent him a picture of me from a year ago this was me back then would he

04:47so cute though cute or not you should take care of your health i frowned what about you what do
04:54you
04:54look like three photos appeared almost immediately the man in them had broad shoulders a narrow waist
05:00and the body of a model what was more attractive was his face he looked prettier than a movie star
05:05then he sent me another message babe these were just random pictures i took i may not look good
05:10in the pictures you won't be disappointed when we meet right i let out a soft chuckle those aren't
05:16even your pictures right of course not you're really handsome i can't wait to see you good oh and when
05:24we
05:24meet there's something i need to tell you i already knew what he was going to say those photos weren't
05:30really him
05:31okay willie carter posted another picture in the freshman group chat in the picture she was smiling
05:39ear to ear wrapping her arm around a guy blake ever since she posted her selfies in group me blake
05:45started chasing her he even flew to her city and brought her out for dinner and sent her gifts then
05:50he announced in the group chat we're dating the chat exploded congrats you two look perfect together
05:59finally met the right person i scrolled down the chat without a single trace of emotion suddenly
06:04someone mentioned me blake spent over a year dating some fat girl online i feel bad for him
06:11what fat girl then the same story was retold again except this time it was more exaggerated than ever
06:18the comments immediately turned on me that's gross no wonder she had to catfish guys online nobody
06:25would have looked at her in real life i heard she came to our school if she's the freshman of
06:29this
06:29semester we'll finally get to see what she really looks like she was probably just insecure it's not
06:36her fault she wasn't pretty but lying about it wasn't okay let's not talk about her just thinking
06:42about it makes me sick i'm just glad i'm with you now he still didn't know that i was in
06:46the group chat as
06:47well i saw everything how he chased lily how he used me as a joke and how he humiliated me
06:54what's that catfish girl's name we probably will run into her after the school starts blake answered
06:59casually nora quinn what a dull name really i immediately changed my display name to nora quinn
07:07then i sent one message i'm nora quinn the whole chat group went silent i knew everybody was staring
07:17at the screen waiting to see how it would end a few minutes later lily sent two messages welcome
07:24are you coming to the orientation she was not welcoming me she just wanted to see if i was as
07:29ridiculous as they said yes on the first day of school as the plane landed my phone started buzzing
07:36babe you here i'm at the arrivals i brought you flour honestly i'm kind of nervous what if you don't
07:45like
07:45me this liar had been using someone else's photos to date me for three months yet somehow he was kind
07:52of sweet whenever i couldn't sleep he'd stay up talking to me even when he was exhausted he remembered
07:58every little thing i liked he'd find excuses to celebrate the smallest moments and send me gifts
08:04making me feel special for a split second my heart softened i claimed my luggage and walked toward the
08:10arrivals then i saw a man holding an enormous bouquet of roses adrian he must have been getting anxious
08:18he lowered the bouquet and scanned the crowd searching for someone the moment i saw his face i was stunned
08:25he was more handsome than the photos a few girls nearby kept sneaking glances at him whispering to each
08:31other i took a deep breath then i wheeled my suitcase over and stopped in front of him are you
08:39the surprise i'd expected didn't come instead he ignored me completely i held up my phone and smiled
08:46excuse me are you waiting for someone want to exchange numbers sorry i'm waiting for my girlfriend
08:52ever since i lost the weight it had been a long time since anyone brushed me off like that
08:57did he really prefer the old me seeing me not moving he grew impatient excuse me could you please
09:03step aside my girlfriend will be here any minute adrian it's me nora he snapped his head and stared at
09:11me
09:11what his eyes swept over me from head to toe you nora no that's not possible you you didn't look
09:19like
09:19that you were fat and ugly no i didn't say that i mean you were cute you weren't ugly i
09:26just i never
09:27thought you'd i lost the weight so here i am i spread my arms and gave him a little spin
09:32so am i
09:34not cute anymore what no you are cute i just wasn't expecting i mean flustered he shoved the enormous bouquet
09:43into my arms it was so ridiculously heavy that i stumbled backward he caught me before i could fall
09:50sorry sorry i didn't mean to when he started apologizing with his ears bright red i burst
09:55out laughing right there in the middle of the crowded airport we looked at each other and smiled for a
10:01moment it felt like there was no one else in the world after dropping me off at the restaurant for
10:07the freshman party that night adrian looked like he didn't want to leave text me when it's over okay
10:13i'll come pick you up okay i turned and headed inside just as my heels stopped outside the private
10:19dining room laughter drifted through the door is everybody here nor is not here yet she's probably too
10:27embarrassed to show up right no one will strike up a conversation with her in real life so she could
10:34only scam people online lily laughed so hard she practically collapsed against blake come on don't be
10:40so mean it's not her fault she isn't pretty just as i was about to push the door open a
10:46curvy waitress
10:47walked in carrying the trick the room fell silent for a split second then someone laughed that's gotta be
10:53nora wow blake wasn't exaggerating come on in think one chair's gonna be enough or should we grab you
11:01two the room erupted in laughter blake wrapped his arm around lily's shoulder even he couldn't hide the
11:07smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth the waitress shot them with a confused look then she turned around
11:13and started bringing dishes in from the service card outside the laughter stopped i took a deep breath and
11:19stepped inside every head in the room turned toward me the guy in the leather jacket the one laughing
11:26the loudest just seconds ago froze with his beer halfway to his mouth across the table one girl stared
11:32at me her jaw practically hitting the floor lily had been lounging against blake's shoulder the second
11:38she saw me she sat bolt upright the smile disappeared from her face as she instinctively smoothed her hair
11:44and blake he couldn't take his eyes off me the guy in the leather jacket blinked uh hey gorgeous i
11:50think you've got the wrong room this is the freshman party then he grinned actually doesn't matter you're
11:54obviously a freshman too come join us i smiled hi everyone i'm nora quinn wait you're nora no freaking
12:04way but blake said you were i smiled at him said i was what then my gaze drifted to blake
12:10he looked pretty
12:11much the way i'd imagined handsome i tilted my head slightly who's blake i asked lightly i don't
12:16think we've ever met blake frowned without realizing it his arms slipped away from lily's shoulder lily
12:21bit her lip the color slowly drained from her face i took an empty seat almost immediately the guys
12:27around me started competing for my attention the boy beside me flushed and hurried to slide a set of
12:32utensils toward me another quickly poured me a glass of water i caught the whispers around the table
12:37you're kidding he dumped someone like her lily's pretty sure but they're not even in the same league
12:43blake's gotta be dying inside right now blake obviously heard every word his fingers slowly
12:48curled into a fist the guy in the leather jacket looked at me seriously nora why'd you never post
12:54selfies in the group chat if you had nobody would have believed all that crap i shrugged i just don't
12:59like posting pictures of myself one of the girls hesitated before asking do you always look like this
13:04no i answered calmly i used to be overweight i lost it because i wanted to meet my own online
13:11boyfriend yeah right nobody just naturally looks like that she looked me up and down who knows how
13:18much work you've done then she slipped an arm around lily lily's what real natural beauty looks like
13:24unlike some people a faint smile tugged at lily's lips she didn't say a word i smiled back you sound
13:29pretty familiar with cosmetic procedures my eyes drifted to hers then again those eyelids are kind
13:36of a giveaway upper belief a few people burst out laughing you the girl's face flushed bright red i've
13:43never had anything done but if you're thinking about a revision i can ask around for a good surgeon
13:47the atmosphere stayed awkward for the rest of dinner blake kept looking for excuses to talk to me
13:53so where are you from nora that online boyfriend of yours do you know him there are a lot of
13:59weird
13:59people online you should be careful who you trust a moment later he tried again you just got here right
14:05you're probably not familiar with the area yet i drove here want me to show you around after dinner
14:09lily finally snapped blake she was obviously trying to keep her composure but there was anger beneath
14:14every word blake glanced at her to my surprise he looked annoyed what lily pointed at the steak on
14:21her plate she seemed quite anxious can you cut the steak for me i asked for medium rare but they
14:26gave me well done blake frowned he checked lily's steak it looks rare to me cut it yourself the color
14:34drained from lily's face she shot to her feet her eyes reddening then she stormed out i stood up as
14:39well i should get going too see you guys i'd barely reached the restaurant entrance when someone called
14:44after me nora i turned around blake didn't go after lily he'd come after me instead he stopped in front
14:50of
14:50me how are you getting back i can give you a ride as he spoke he clicked his key fob
14:55a black porsche
14:56911 parked at the curb flashed its lights i was about to say no when another black mercedes g-class
15:02pulled up beside us in one smooth turn the driver's window rolled down revealing adrian a grin spread
15:09across his face babe hop in i looked back at blake my boyfriend's here blake's expression darkened
15:15instantly boyfriend your online boyfriend i smiled that's right without another glance at him i walked
15:21past opened the passenger door and got into adrian's car after we'd been driving for a while adrian
15:27tightened his grip on the steering wheel who was that guy back there just a classmate nothing important
15:32why the tension in his face eased a little nothing a couple of seconds later as if he'd suddenly
15:39remembered something he nodded toward the back seat oh right that's for you i saw it and immediately
15:44thought of you take a look i glanced over my shoulder a gift box sat on the back seat inside
15:49was a designer handbag i froze adrian this is way too expensive i closed the box i can't accept this
15:58he immediately looked over at me why not boy foins buy their girlfriend's bags all the time suddenly
16:03his eyes widened wait are you breaking up with me i almost laughed the more he talked the more
16:08flustered he became i knew i shouldn't have listened to that stylist i knew this haircut wasn't right
16:12i spent weeks getting ready to meet you i even started a skincare routine are you still not happy
16:18with me if there's something you don't like just tell me i'll fix it no i'm not breaking up with
16:23you
16:23then why won't you take it there was a hint of hurt in his voice i took me forever to
16:27pick it out
16:28i turned to look at him then i couldn't help smiling okay he let out a quiet breath of relief
16:34a second later the tips of his ears turned red all over again i didn't expect blake to become
16:39obsessed with me he found every excuse to run into me sometimes it was outside a lecture hall
16:44sometimes on a bench between classes other times i'd barely stepped out of my residence hall before
16:50i'd find him leaning against his car waiting for me as for lily he'd grown colder and colder toward
16:56her i even saw her bring him a homemade breakfast one morning blake didn't so much as glance at it
17:01he tossed the lunch box straight into the nearest trash can one day i had just taken my seat in
17:07class
17:07when he dropped into the chair beside me mind if i sit here nora i closed my book we are
17:12not friend
17:12so don't call me nora i don't want to sit next to you either i picked up my things and
17:17moved to another
17:18seat after that he went all out trying to win me back flowers showed up almost every day along with
17:24outrageously expensive custom cakes then one day he gave me a handbag ironically it was the same one
17:31adrian bought me well do you like it if not i'll get you something else i'd finally had enough no
17:38i
17:39pushed the box back toward him and don't buy me anything ever again he smiled faintly but i picked
17:44it out just for you if you don't want it i guess i'll have to throw it away i let
17:47out a cold laugh then i
17:49picked up the bag along with the cake beside it and dropped them both straight into the trash the
17:54smile finally disappeared from blake's face nora be honest did i not treat you well my boyfriend
18:01treats me really well too if i want anything i'll ask him for it i don't need you buying me
18:05anything
18:06adrian right i've heard of him but i don't think i'm any worse than he is whatever he can give
18:11you i can
18:11afford to at first watching blake regret everything and chase after me felt satisfying now it was just
18:18exhausting i used to like him but the guy who stayed on the phone with me all night who talked
18:22me through
18:23my tears who always found a way to make me smile when i was at my lowest and the man
18:28standing in
18:28front of me now they didn't even feel like the same person the only thing blake had ever fallen for
18:33was a pretty face i stood up but i don't like you so please stop following me a late summer
18:41storm
18:42rolled in without warning i frowned as i stood under the entrance of the academic building i'd forgotten
18:47my umbrella a shadow suddenly fell over my head blake stood beside me holding an umbrella over us
18:52left your umbrella at home come i'll walk you home i was just about to turn him down when i
18:57caught
18:58sight of adrian walking out of the building my face lit up adrian over here i waved at him
19:04immediately he looked up the moment he saw me his eyes softened with a smile but as soon as he
19:08noticed
19:08blake standing beside me the smile faded he walked over glanced at the rain then at me i didn't bring
19:15an umbrella either he tilted his head what do we do i couldn't help laughing we run he smiled back
19:22deal
19:22without another word he shrugged off his jacket and draped it over my head his eyes were sparkling
19:27run we burst into laughter and took off through the rain together neither of us looked back not even
19:34once blake was left standing there alone watching us disappear into the rain by the time we reached
19:39my dorm we were both completely soaked neither of us made a move to leave after a long silence we
19:45spoke
19:46at the same time adrian why do you norah there's something i need to tell you we both stopped no
19:50you
19:51first again at the same time he let out a nervous laugh then lowered his head and took a slow
19:56steadying
19:57breath like he'd finally made up his mind fine i'll go first the rain pounded around us but i
20:03heard every single word nora i've been lying to you he paused the person you spent that year talking
20:10to online wasn't me he swallowed he chose every word with care i took over that account i've been
20:15going back and forth on whether i should tell you honestly part of me wished you'd never find out
20:20but i can't keep lying to you i don't want everything we've built to end up being just another lie
20:25when he finished it was as if a weight had finally lifted off his shoulders but almost
20:30immediately he tensed again because i wasn't reacting shocked the way he'd expected he stared
20:35at me you knew i didn't answer i just looked at him quietly he lowered his eyes a faint bitter
20:41smile
20:41tugged at the corner of his mouth i thought so i'd started to suspect it a while ago when you
20:47suddenly
20:47began keeping your distance i figured you'd found out i still said nothing after a long pause he looked
20:52back up at me it seemed to take every ounce of courage he had but there's something else something
20:58you don't know this wasn't the first time i met you i blinked what do you mean he held my
21:03gaze
21:03i've known you for a long time i didn't remember ever meeting adrian if we'd met before i wouldn't
21:09forget his face he lowered his eyes pulled out his phone and opened an old photo it makes sense that
21:15you don't remember i didn't look like this back then the boy in the picture was chubby he looked
21:20nothing like the adrian standing in front of me now i stared at the photo then something clicked
21:26wait you're you're the boy from weight loss camp the one who used to sneak out in the middle of
21:32the
21:32night to eat cake the tips of his ears slowly turned pink even so he nodded yeah i stood there
21:38completely stunned the chubby kid from three years ago the one who used to crouch in the hallway eating
21:44cookies and nearly choked himself to death was adrian after camp ended you never contacted me
21:51again at first i kept eating the way i always did but after a while it just wasn't any fun
21:56eating by
21:56myself anymore then i started playing basketball little by little the weight came off he paused
22:02one day i came across that anonymous post whoever posted it didn't blur out any of your information
22:06i saw your name your profile picture was still that plast the one with the little white patch on
22:11its forehead the age matched too i knew it had to be you his voice grew quieter i couldn't just
22:16stand
22:17by and watch people treat you like that so i messaged the guy who made the post he smiled helplessly
22:23and somehow here we are i'm sorry nora i never should have lied to you i just never knew how
22:29to
22:29tell you he lowered his eyes if you want to break up with me i'll understand the rain kept falling
22:33all at once everything felt unreal like something out of a movie fate had taken us in the biggest
22:39circle imaginable only to bring us back to each other the boy who used to sneak me pieces of cake
22:45at weight loss camp the one who had never looked down on me the one who couldn't stand seeing me
22:50humiliated and reached out to that stranger it had always been him i reached for his hand he froze
22:55his eyes lit up instantly i said softly breakup didn't you promise you'd stay by my side in the next
23:02second he pulled me into his arms i did his voice was barely above a whisper yet i could hear
23:07the
23:07relief and the happiness he couldn't hide wrapped safely in his embrace i finally closed my eyes a
23:14few days later i had just stepped out of the academic building when someone called my name
23:18i turned around blake stood a short distance away half his face was swallowed by the darkness
23:23do you need something his expression was impossible to read i frowned with his hands in his pockets
23:29he slowly walked toward me do you really like him that much he's my boyfriend who else would i like
23:34his eyes never left my face he was quiet for a moment what if the person you fell in love
23:41with
23:41online was never him the smile disappeared from my face what do you mean blake stared at me his
23:46breathing grew uneven nora the one who started dating you online was me later i screwed up i handed
23:53you over to someone else but for that first year i was the one you were with the words came
23:57spilling
23:57out adrian's a liar he's been lying to you this whole time i was the one who should have been
24:02with you
24:03we should have been together i looked at him calmly i already know blake froze you knew then why
24:09so why are you telling me this now because you regret it he stared at me as if he'd been
24:14waiting
24:14for that question his eyes lit up yeah i do i like you nora i was an idiot before blake
24:20you really
24:21have no shame his breathing caught i know i messed up but i'll do anything to make it right besides
24:26you
24:27used to like me you worked so hard to lose weight just so you could meet me i really do
24:31like you
24:31now i looked at him it was ridiculous what exactly do you like he fell silent my face his pupils
24:37tightened my voice stayed perfectly calm you disgust me blake the person i fell for was never the man
24:43standing in front of me and i'll never like you so give it up without another glance i turned and
24:49walked away adrian looked upset and he wasn't even trying to hide it he barely spoke to me the entire
24:54day compared to the guy who usually wanted to be around me every chance he got it was like he
24:59was
24:59a completely different person is there someone else if there is you can just tell me i won't make
25:04things difficult for you his head snapped up i knew it you don't like me as much as i like
25:08you before i
25:09could say a word he took my hand and pulled me into the shade beneath a tree the thick canopy
25:14shielded
25:14us from the afternoon sun he backed me gently against the trunk one hand braced beside my head
25:19that night i saw him he came to see you again his eyes never left mine he swallowed hard nor
25:24i heard
25:24what he said blake the one who handed the account over to me isn't he i froze great he missed
25:30the
