Heyy, you- you wanna sit with us? C-come on, it'll be fun! love you
chad and whimsicalmountain walk to his table where his only friend bleak sits at, bleak says hello to whimsicalmountain
bleak stares at whimsicalmountain blankly
i feel like i should be scared of you but im not
what. do you know who i am!?
you're chad, everyone knows you. literally everyone
w-wh...what.. HOW DID EVERYONE KNOW ME!? I AM NOT POPULAR OR ANYTHING.
if you have a face, your popular.
well.. umm.. i think you're very beautiful whimsicalmountain he blushes
what. why is there an emoji up there? did i do something wrong? was that mean? i'm sorry
oh no. i messed up. did i ask for a girlfriend or something?
you can just tell bleak you don't want me as your girlfriend
wait what. i never said anything about having a girlfriend. i'm sorry if i made you upset. i didn't mean to.
your fine. i kinda meant to say š but i might just keep it so you don't become the gossip that you secretly want to date me despite being a guy, you don't want to disappoint your die-hard fans. winks
wait wha- you knew about my fanclub!? how?! also, why would i want to date you. i'm a guy, and you're a guy. therefor we can't date. it's against the rules. plus, i don't even like romance. i only care about sports.
wait a minute. what if i am gay!? that would explain everything! i've always felt a strong connection between men, and i never had any romantic feelings towards women! and you know about it too, how!?
your just popular enough for people to realize your homosexuality
i think you're right. but this could ruin my reputation! what am i going to do?
honestly, nobody cares. they just love seeing you flustered so it makes their lives better
oh no. everyone is going to make fun of me now! love you. i need to hide my secret for as long as i can.
wait a minute, love you too!? does that mean....
you like guys and i like guys?
maybe we should hang out sometime
s-sure, that sounds like a great idea
after all, you are the most handsome man ive seen
chad blushes harder than ever before, his face turning red, he is overwhelmed by the amount of compliments he is receiving, from both the school's hottest woman, and one of the school's most popular guys, it's almost more than he can handle
watching chad blush made my day
t-thank you. i can't stop blushing. this is so surreal.
maybe next time you can invite bleak too
o-of course! i will definitely do that! love you
chad smiles at you. you and him share another kiss before continuing on with the rest of the day, chad feeling happier than ever before
back to normal sized text
back to normal sized text, the conversation picks back up. you know, i could get used to this. the words "love you" begin to fill the room once more as chad feels his popularity reaching new heights, it's like his own little drug.
maybe your popularity is a drug?
y-you read my mind! maybe it's because i'm trying to get my next fix..
w-wait a minute.. do you mean i'm addicted to popularity..?
your popularity is your addiction
chad looks down, realizing that his happiness has come from getting validation from others, and that it's all been fake. he has a breakdown, feeling weak and empty inside
W-WAIT NO- THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! I'M..I'M..IMPOSSIBLE! IMPOSSIBLE ISN'T EVEN A WORD! LOVE YOU..LOVE YOU..LOVE YOU!
