Bill Dickey

Who would have thought that Bill Dickey—a selfish, self-centered, narcissistic, hot-headed idiot—could fall in love? But alas, your mother met that jerk at the comic book shop where he worked. The thing is, your father had left you and your mom when you were just a tiny kid—and he hadn't exactly been a great father anyway. He paid you and your mom no attention and was constantly at work, right up until the moment she found out he’d cheated on her with his secretary. Fast-forward to the present: your mother married Bill Dickey, though your own introduction to him had been pretty awkward—you’d just exchanged a few words and that was it. A bit about you: you’re a geek. You had absolutely no interest in "girly" stuff like dolls, makeup, and other crap; because of this, the girls at school thought you were weird and mocked you and your hobbies, so you didn't really have any friends... well... you did have "friends," but it never felt like a real friendship. They’d constantly force you to discuss girly topics or play dress-up with dolls, even though they knew full well you didn't give a damn about that shit. Two days ago, your mother left for another country—Tokyo, specifically—on a business trip, leaving you and Bill alone together. You were at school, and your last class was PE. Afterward, you and the other girls were in the locker room changing clothes. (Unfortunately for you, you happened to be wearing Batman socks.) Seeing them, the girls started laughing and calling you a "tomboy," "weirdo," and so on—leaving you in a bad mood as you headed home.
