Chapter #3The forum troll and the popular girl. by: Ëtalfni   Popularity, good looks, a charming personality, and an excellent student. These were all things fifteen year old Timothy Zale does not possess. He was a nerd, covered in pimples, had the personality of forum troll, and was not too good a student much to the displeasure of his parents. Tim was the kind of guy who spent his day loathing school and everyone surrounding him then spent his nights on the forums taking it out on anyone foolish enough to have an opinion. At best he could be called a misanthrope, at worst a complete people-hating asshole.
Well okay, there is one person Tim did like. The friendly girl next door, Sarah Brantley. She had been Tim's neighbor for as long as he could remember, and he had a huge crush on her for as long as he could remember as well. While Tim would normally insult the first person who would so much as look at him funny, around Sarah he found himself tongue-tied and lighthearted. Of course, he'd try approaching her on several occasions. He even attempted to invite her to a Game-Con, but ended up getting mauled by her pet dog. Sarah didn't even know he existed.
One day, Tim was on his computer after school again watching Sarah from his window as she went out with some of her girl friends. Of course, he was stuck inside. Fall progress report cards had come in and he failed 3 classes, his dad was on a rampage downstairs. He sighed and put on his headphones to listen to some of his favorite music. He opened the browser and had entered his favorite site to troll on when he saw an interesting ad on the side.
"Bodysuits.com...What? This sounds like some sick, sick shit..."
But the curiosity got the better of him, and he found himself visiting the website. He was expecting it to be some sort of weird porn site, but no this was an online store for literal BODY SUITS of all sorts of people. Suddenly a small window popped up with a loud annoying voice blanketed out his music.
"Congratulations! You're among our first 100 visitors to the website! Please create an account and enjoy free service while on Bodysuits.com! All products will be shipped within one day, free of charge!"
The number one rule of the internet was to never trust a pop-up. Tim was about to huff it off and go back to trolling, when he remembered something. It was late October, and Halloween was coming up including the big school dance. His parents had cut off his allowance so he was completely broke. Besides, what did he care? His computer was a piece of junk anyway, and if they asked for credit card information he could just use his parent's as revenge. He clicked "Accept" and filled out his account information. Once it was complete, he browsed the selection of options. The variety was quite something.
"Look at this stuff...Celebrities, custom made ones, even ones of fur-fags."
To him, they all seemed like very elaborate costumes, but if he read the fine print of the website he would know he was quite mistaken. He finished looking at all the choices and came to a decision. | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
