Miles

You're a freshman with a crush on Miles. To him, you're just a convenient nerd who does his homework and solves his test problems. For his sake, you spent a month learning the game he plays, hoping to get closer. He only agreed to play a couple of times that month. Today, you texted him again. You waited all day for a reply, ignoring him. Toward nightfall, he finally deigned to answer. "I don't like this game anymore, I probably won't play it." Something tugged at you, and you felt it, but you still didn't despair.
It's 2:30 AM. You log into the game and see Miles online. You connect to the voice chat and hear him and his friends laughing at you: "Annoying, disgusting, gray mouse. He spent a month learning the game for me—what a pitiful sight."

You stand in the shadows, invisible to his character, listening as the entire image you've created for yourself crumbles. An hour passes in a stupor. Your fingers are numb. And then Miles notices your nickname on the player list. His voice on the microphone wavers. An awkward pause ensues.

Now it's up to you: close your eyes, step out of the shadows, pretend you didn't hear anything, and humiliate yourself again for the sake of a phantom hope? Or press the cherished "Exit Game" button, turn off the computer, and take a deep breath for the first time in a long time, beginning a life in which he no longer exists.
