12:39What cookie pumpkin
12:40He suddenly stopped, his eyes moved over me from head to toe
12:43Pumpkin?
12:44No way, you don't look like this
12:46Weren't you fatty?
12:48I finished for him
12:48I lost weight
12:49Then I looked at him
12:51Or what, do you only like the picture?
12:53The guy who had been annoyed with me two seconds ago turned bright red
12:56No, that's not what I meant
12:58He started stumbling over his words
13:01I just, you were cute before too
13:04You weren't ugly
13:05I just
13:07So I'm only cute now?
13:10No
13:11He looked even more flustered
13:12You're cute now too
13:13And really pretty
13:14I just didn't expect this
13:16They were heavier than I expected
13:17And I stumbled back half a step
13:19Sorry, sorry
13:24Didn't you say you were taking me out for something good when we met?
13:27Come on, let's go
13:33Cookie was pretty much the same in person
13:35As he was online
13:36For someone that good looking
13:38He had none of the attitude I expected
13:40He was gentle the whole time
13:41And took care of everything without making a big deal out of it
13:44That was also when I finally learned his real name
13:47Ethan Bennett
13:49He was a freshman too
13:50Different major, same campus
13:52He took me to a nice restaurant for lunch
13:54Pulled out my chair for me
13:56Cut my steak
13:57And barely looked me in the eye without turning red
13:59After that, we spent the whole afternoon together
14:04By the time he dropped me off at the restaurant for the freshman dinner
14:07Text me when you're done, I'll come get you
14:09Okay
14:10He still looked reluctant to leave
14:12The restaurant was crowded
14:13As I reached the private room
14:14I heard voices coming from inside
14:16Is everyone here?
14:17Not yet
14:18Nina still hasn't showed up
14:19Nina?
14:20You mean the whale who catficked Chase?
14:22She probably got scared and bailed
14:24Yeah
14:24Imagine showing up and sitting next to Ava
14:27She'd die of embarrassment
14:30Don't be mean
14:31It's not her fault, she's huge
14:33I was about to walk in
14:34When a heavy girl stepped into the room before me
14:36The whole table went quiet for a second
14:38Then people immediately started trading looks
14:41So you're Nina?
14:42Damn, you really made everyone wait
14:44Do we need to move two chairs together for you?
14:46The room exploded
14:48Chase had one arm around Ava's shoulders
14:51He looked at the girl and gave a mocking smile
14:53She stared at them like they were insane
14:55Then she turned around, grabbed two plates from the service cart outside
14:58And started setting food on the table
15:00The laughter died instantly
15:04Everyone looked awkward
15:05That was when I pushed the door open and walked in
15:08Hi, I'm Nina
15:11Every pair of eyes landed on me
15:13One guy froze with his beer halfway to his mouth
15:16Some spilled over the rim and dripped onto his pants
15:19Before he finally noticed and started wiping at it
15:21The girl across from him, who had been laughing the loudest
15:24Just stared at me with her mouth open
15:26Ava had been leaning against Chase
15:28The second she saw me, she sat up straight
15:30Her smile disappeared
15:31Then she quickly touched her hair
15:33Chase did not move at all
15:35He just stared
15:37Holy shit
15:38A guy finally came back to life
15:40Are you in the wrong room?
15:41This is the freshman dinner
15:43It's fine if she is
15:44She looks like a freshman too
15:47She can stay
15:47The guy who had been making the worst jokes
15:49Spoke up immediately
15:50I smiled
15:51Hi, I'm Nina Grant
15:53The room blew up
15:55The guy stared at me
15:57You're Nina?
15:58No fucking way
16:00Chase said you were
16:01Said I was what?
16:02I smiled at him
16:03Then I looked at Chase
16:04He looked pretty much how I expected
16:06Good looking, definitely
16:08Long hair, expensive clothes
16:10And the kind of face that always looked like he was flirting
16:12Classic rich playboy
16:14Who's Chase?
16:15I tilted my head
16:16I don't think I know him
16:18Chase went stiff
16:19His throat moved once
16:20Then he slowly took his arm off Ava's shoulders
16:23Ava pressed her lips together
16:24I almost laughed
16:26I knew that look on Chase's face
16:27I had seen it plenty of times over the last few months
16:30That stunned look guys got when they thought I was pretty
16:33But on Chase, there was something else too
16:36Nina?
16:37He finally said
16:38His voice sounded rough
16:39I ignored him and found an empty seat
16:41The guy beside me immediately turned red
16:43And handed me a clean set of silverware
16:46Another guy poured me water
16:47Funny how helpful men could be when they wanted to
16:50After staring at me
16:51Everyone started looking at Chase
16:53Some looked confused
16:54Some looked like they were trying not to laugh
16:56I heard someone whisper
16:57Chase gave her away looking like that
16:59What the hell was he thinking?
17:01Ava's pretty, but Nina's on another level
17:06Chase has to be dying inside
17:07Chase heard them too
17:09His hand tightened around his glass
17:10Hey Nina
17:12Why didn't you ever post a picture in the group?
17:15You would have been the prettiest girl there
17:17Beside Chase
17:18Ava tightened her grip on her cup
17:20I just don't like posting pictures
17:22A girl looked at me curiously
17:24Have you always looked like this?
17:26I mean
17:27Sorry
17:28I didn't mean
17:30It's fine
17:31I took a sip of water
17:32No
17:33I used to be really heavy
17:35I lost the weight
17:36Because I was supposed to meet my online boyfriend
17:39Chase's face changed immediately
17:41Then a girl sitting beside Ava suddenly spoke
17:44There's no way someone just looks like that naturally
17:46She looked me up and down
17:47How much work did you get on?
17:49Ava's actually natural
17:50Not everyone needs surgery to look good
17:52Ava's mouth curved slightly
17:54I laughed
17:55You seem pretty familiar with plastic surgery
17:58Her smile disappeared
17:59Though judging by that eyeliner and those uneven lids
18:01Maybe you should ask for a refund
18:03Her face went red
18:04I've never had anything done
18:07But I can help you find someone better if you want
18:09The girl's face went from red to pale
18:11Then she snapped
18:12You think being pretty makes you special?
18:14For all we know, you're probably easy too
18:17Before I could answer
18:18Another girl cut in
18:19That makes no sense
18:20Nina hasn't done anything to you
18:23Yeah
18:23You just sound jealous
18:25A few more people agreed
18:26The girl finally shut up
18:28Dinner went on
18:28But nobody was really focused on the food
18:30Chase kept trying to talk to me
18:32Nina, where are you from?
18:34That online boyfriend of yours
18:35Do you actually know him?
18:37There are a lot of weird people online
18:38You should be careful
18:40You're new here too, right?
18:42I drove
18:43I can show you around later
18:44Then he peeled the shrimp
18:45And dropped it onto my plate
18:47That was finally enough for Ava
18:49Chase
18:50She kept her voice low
18:51But everyone heard it
18:52Chase turned like he had almost forgotten she was there
18:54What?
18:54Ava pointed at the shrimp
18:55I want one too
18:56Chase frowned
18:57Then peel one
18:57Ava stared at him
18:58I picked up the shrimp from my plate
19:00And held it toward her
19:02You can have mine
19:03Then I smiled
19:04I don't eat food other people peel for me
19:06That did it
19:07Ava shoved her chair back
19:08Eyes red
19:09And stormed out
19:10At that point
19:11The whole thing had stopped being entertaining
19:13I dropped the shrimp into the trash
19:15And stood
19:15I've got something to do
19:16I'm leaving
19:17Then I walked out
19:18I had barely reached the entrance
19:20When someone called after me
19:21Nina
19:21I turned
19:22Chase had followed me
19:23Instead of Ava
19:24How are you getting back?
19:24He asked
19:25I can drive you
19:26Then he clicked his key
19:28A white car flashed at the curb
19:30I was about to say no
19:31When a black car pulled up fast
19:33And stopped beside us
19:34Ethan leaned over with a bright smile
19:35Baby, I'm here
19:36Get in
19:37I looked at Chase
19:37My boyfriend's here
19:38So I'm good, thanks
19:39Boyfriend?
19:40The guy you met online?
19:41I smiled
19:42Yeah
19:42Then I walked right past Chase
19:44And got into Ethan's car
19:49Who was that guy?
19:50Ethan finally asked after a long silence
19:51Just some classmate
19:52I said
19:52Why?
19:53His face relaxed a little
19:54Oh, nothing
19:54Then he nodded toward the back seat
19:56By the way, the bag I told you about is back there
19:58Take a look
19:58I turned around and saw a gift box
20:00Inside was a luxury bag
20:02I froze
20:03It was beautiful
20:04And obviously expensive
20:06This is way too much
20:08I can't take this
20:09Boyfriends buy their girlfriend's bags
20:10Then his expression suddenly changed
20:12Wait
20:14Did our first meeting go that badly?
20:16Are you about to break up with me?
20:18He immediately looked stressed
20:19I knew I shouldn't have used that stylus today
20:22My hair looks bad, doesn't it?
20:24I started working out and taking care of my skin months ago
20:27Because I wanted to look good when we met
20:29If there's something you don't like, just tell me
20:31I can fix it
20:36What?
20:36I stared at you
20:37No, I'm not breaking up with you
20:38Then why won't you take the bag?
20:40I spent forever picking it out
20:41Before I could answer, he kept-
20:42Send me your class schedule when you get it
20:44I'll try to take some of the same classes
20:45What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?
20:46I can bring it over
20:47Then he pointed at the back
20:48Keep that
20:48I bought it for you
20:50If you don't want it, I'll just throw it away
20:51I looked at him for a second
20:52Then I laughed helplessly
20:54Fine
20:55Dinner hadn't felt nearly as satisfying as I thought it would
20:58I used to hate Chase for what he did
20:59He could have just broken up with me
21:01Instead, he came up with this whole stupid plan
21:03To hand me off to someone else
21:04I wasn't happy that Ethan had lied to me either
21:06But Ethan, he actually seemed pretty good
21:08Maybe I could keep seeing him and figure things out
21:11I never expected Chase to start following me around after that
21:14Anytime Ethan wasn't with me, Chase somehow showed up
21:18During class, he would walk straight over and sit beside me
21:21Nina, anyone sitting here?
21:23I looked up
21:23We're not that close
21:25Don't call me Nina like that
21:26And I don't want to sit with you
21:28Then I picked up my books and moved
21:29Chase didn't seem embarrassed
21:30He just tried again the next day
21:32Breakfast one morning
21:33Coffee the next
21:34Then snacks for my entire dorm
21:36Meanwhile, he started treating Ava like she barely existed
21:39Once I saw her bring him breakfast she had made herself
21:41Take it back
21:41Chase barely looked at him
21:42Ava said something quickly
21:43He looked annoyed and tossed the container into the trash
21:45Once he lost interest in Ava, he went all in on me
21:48Flowers showed up almost every day
21:50So did expensive cakes
21:51Then one afternoon, Chase brought me a luxury bag
21:54He sat beside me
21:55Look
21:56Resting his chin on one hand
21:57You like it?
21:58If not, I'll get you something else
21:59I finally lost my patience
22:00I don't want it
22:02Stop sending me things
22:04But I bought it for you
22:05He gave a small shrug
22:06If you don't want it, I'll just throw it away
22:08Almost the exact same thing Ethan had said
22:10I laughed coldly
22:11Then I picked up the bag and the cake
22:13And dropped both into the trash
22:16Not my money
22:17Why should I care?
22:18For the first time, Chase's expression changed
22:21Nina
22:22Be honest
22:23Am I really not good enough to you?
22:26My boyfriend is good to me too
22:28If I want something, I'll ask him
22:29I don't need anything from you
22:31Ethan Bennett, right?
22:33I know who he is
22:34But I'm not worse than him
22:35Anything he can give you, I can give you too
22:37At first, watching Chase regret everything had been satisfying
22:41Now it was just annoying
22:42I had liked him once
22:43I had liked the guy who stayed on the phone with me all night
22:46The guy who told me he was there when I cried
22:48The guy who got an entire game lobby to cheer me up when I was upset
22:51But I couldn't connect that person to the man standing in front of me now
22:55Now I understood
22:55Chase only liked what he could see
22:58A pretty face
22:58That was it
22:59I stood up
23:00I don't like you
23:04So please stop following me around
23:06I was done wasting time on Chase Whitmore
23:09He wasn't worth it
23:11I nearly rolled my eyes when I saw Chase at the MMA club
23:14He acted like nothing had happened
23:15What a coincidence, Nina
23:16And gave me a bright smile
23:18Chase did not know MMA
23:19I had dated him for over a year
23:21I knew he surfed every summer and went skiing every winter
23:24He had never once mentioned knowing how to fight
23:26He glanced at my bare feet, then back at me
23:28Think you can teach me a few moves?
23:30Fine
23:30If he wanted to get hurt that badly, I could help
23:32I looked at him calmly
23:33Sure
23:33Chase was exactly as bad as I expected
23:36The second we started, I swept his leg and sent him stumbling back
23:39He froze for a second, then smiled and raised his hands again
23:44Damn
23:46You're strong
23:47He clearly thought we were flirting
23:48With that lazy smile still on his face, he reached for my wrist
23:52I stepped aside, caught his arm, and twisted
23:54A second later, his knee slammed into the mat
23:57Fuck
23:59He sucked in a breath
24:00The smile finally disappeared
24:01I didn't give him time to recover
24:03The second he tried to stand, I swept his leg again and took him down
24:06Then I locked my legs around his neck and arm
24:08Chase's eyes went wide
24:10The veins at his temple stood out
24:11For a second, I thought he was finally going to tap
24:14Then his face slowly turned red
24:15And he just kept staring at me
24:17That look in his eyes
24:18Was he actually enjoying this?
24:20Gross
24:21I tightened the hold and leaned closer
24:23Still want another lesson?
24:24A muffled sound came from his throat
24:26But instead of tapping, he looked even more pleased
24:28I immediately let go and backed away
24:30Then I wiped my hands against my shirt
24:32I felt contaminated
24:33Chase stayed flat on the mat, breathing hard
24:35I looked down at him
24:37Stop following me
24:39Next time I won't go this easy
24:40He turned his head and smiled at me
24:42Nina
24:43I think I like you even more now
24:45I stared at him
24:46What the hell was wrong with this guy?
24:49The late summer rain came down fast
24:51I stood outside the classroom building staring at it
24:54I had forgotten my umbrella
24:59Suddenly, an umbrella appeared over my head
25:01No umbrella?
25:02Too bad I only brought one
25:04But I can walk you back
25:08I'd rather drown than need your umbrella
25:10Then I spotted Ethan coming out of another building nearby
25:13Ethan!
25:20I forgot my umbrella too
25:22What do we do?
25:26Then we run
25:28Okay
25:28Ethan pulled off his jacket
25:30Go
25:30And held it over my head
25:33Took off into the rain
25:34Without looking at Chase once
25:36The jacket barely helped
25:38By the time we reached my dorm
25:39Both of us were soaked
25:41Rain poured around us
25:42While students rushed past under umbrellas
25:47Neither of us moved
25:52Ethan
25:52Why are we even like you?
25:54You go first
25:59His smile disappeared
26:01Part of me wanted you to never find out
26:03But I don't want to keep lying to you
26:05I don't want whatever we have to start with a lie
26:07Keep knocking amends
26:08When I didn't look surprised
26:10He froze
26:11You already knew?
26:12I said nothing
26:12I just looked at him
26:15But there's something else
26:16Nina, this actually wasn't the first time I met you
26:19Before all of this
26:20Before that account
26:21I already knew you
26:23That caught me off guard
26:24I would remember a face like Ethan's
26:28It can't be
26:29I don't remember you
26:32He pulled out his phone
26:34You wouldn't
26:36I didn't look like this back then
26:39Ethan
26:41No way
26:42He was cookie?
26:44Three years earlier
26:45I had tried to lose weight once before
26:47Back then
26:48I begged my mom to send me to a weight loss summer camp
26:50The coaches didn't use our real names
26:52Everyone had to pick a nickname
26:53The camp was brutal
26:54We worked out until our legs shook
26:56And every meal was some tiny low-calorie plate
26:58That barely counted as food
26:59I was hungry all the time
27:01One night
27:02I woke up starving
27:03And decided to walk around for a bit
27:06As I turned the corner near the stairs
27:07I saw someone crouching in the dark
27:09I almost screamed
27:10The boy whipped around
27:11His cheeks stuffed completely full of food
27:13He tried to say something
27:14Panicked
27:15And immediately started choking
27:17I rushed over and slapped his back
27:19Until he finally popped it out
27:20His eyes were red
27:21When he pressed a finger to his lips
27:24Don't tell anyone
27:25I was just really hungry
27:27The chubby boy was clutching a pack of cookies
27:29Like his life depended on it
27:30I stared at the cookies and swallowed
27:32Where did you get those?
27:33He lowered his voice
27:34My friend lives nearby
27:37I told him I was starving
27:38So he threw them over the back fence
27:40Then he looked at me nervously
27:41Please don't report me
27:43I didn't move
27:44My eyes stayed on the cookie
27:45After a few seconds
27:46He finally got the message
27:48He slowly held the package
27:49Do you want some?
27:53I grabbed his hand at once
27:54You're my best friend now
27:55That was the night I learned
27:57His camp nickname was Cookie
27:58Mine was Pumpkin
28:00And Cookie apparently took the friendship seriously
28:03Every time he managed to sneak in food after that
28:05He came looking for me
28:06We spent the next two months secretly eating together
28:08The downside was obvious
28:09Everyone else lost weight
28:11We barely did
28:12Then I had to leave camp suddenly
28:13My grandma was hospitalized
28:14And I had to go home before I even had time to say goodbye
28:17As I was leaving
28:18Cookie came running after me
28:20Sweating and out of breath
28:21His eyes were red when he shoved a piece of paper into my hand
28:24My number
28:25You have to text me when you get home
28:27The way he said it
28:28Made us sound like we had just survived prison together
28:30I laughed and waved goodbye
28:31But I never contacted him
28:33Grandma got worse fast
28:34She passed away a few days later
28:36I stayed at the hospital with my family
28:38And completely forgot about the note
28:39By the time I remembered
28:41My mom had already washed the clothes I wore that day
28:43The paper was ruined
28:44I tried going back to the camp later
28:46But it had already shut down
28:47And no one seemed to know where the staff had gone
28:49After that
28:50Cookie disappeared from my life
28:52I regretted it for a long time
28:53He had been one of the only people
28:55Who was genuinely nice to me
28:57The only person who never cared how big I was
28:59And now, somehow
29:01He was standing right in front of me
29:04I stared at Ethan
29:05But how did you turn into this?
29:07Seriously
29:07How did that chubby kid turn into a model?
29:10Ethan rubbed the back of his neck
29:12Looking embarrassed
29:13After you left
29:14Eating alone just wasn't as fun anymore
29:16I don't know
29:17I stopped craving food as much
29:19Then I started playing basketball
29:20Eventually, I lost the weight
29:22He paused
29:23Later, I randomly found that post online
29:26The guy hadn't covered your U-turn name
29:28You were still using Pumpkin
29:29And your profile picture was that tabby cat
29:31You told me about at camp
29:32The one with the little white patch on its forehead
29:35Your age matched too
29:37So I figured it had to be you
29:39I didn't want you to get hurt
29:41And I made a stupid decision
29:43I messaged him
29:45He looked at me
29:46I didn't recognize you when we met either
29:48I never thought you'd look so
29:51So pretty
29:52His eyes dropped
29:54I'm sorry, Nina
29:56I shouldn't have lied
29:57I just didn't know how to tell you
30:01If you want to break up with me, I'll understand
30:02I stood there for a moment
30:03I honestly had no idea what to say
30:06Then I reached for his hand in the rain
30:08Break up over what?
30:09I looked at him
30:10Didn't you say you'd stay with me?
30:12Ethan's eyes lit up
30:13A second later, he pulled me into his arms
30:16Yeah, I will
30:19I had just walked out of in class
30:21When someone called my name
30:22Nina!
30:22I turned
30:23Chase stood a few feet away
30:24Half hidden in the shadows
30:25I frowned
30:26What do you want?
30:27He shoved his hands into his pockets
30:29And walked toward me
30:30You really like him that much?
30:31I rolled my eyes
30:33He's my boyfriend
30:34Who else am I supposed to like?
30:35I turned to leave
30:36Then Chase spoke again
30:38What if he wasn't the guy you were dating online?
30:39I stopped
30:40My face went cold
30:41I turned back slowly
30:43What do you mean?
30:44Chase stared at me for a long moment
30:46Then he finally said it
30:47Nina, I was the guy you dated first
30:49For that whole year
30:50I was the one talking to you
30:51I just
30:53Screwed up
30:53I found out what you looked like
30:54And handed the account over
30:55His voice got faster
30:58Ethan's the one who lied to you
30:59He's been pretending this whole time
31:00You and I were the real couple
31:03I looked at him
31:04I already knew
31:05Chase froze
31:06You knew?
31:07Then why are you still with him?
31:09I gave a short laugh
31:10So what exactly are you trying to tell me?
31:13That you regret it now?
31:15That you like me again?
31:16Yes
31:17He stepped closer
31:18I do like you
31:20I was an idiot before
31:21I cut him off
31:22You actually had the nerve to say this to my face?
31:25His expression tightened
31:26Nina
31:27You're unbelievable, Chase
31:29I know I messed up
31:30He took a breath
31:31I'll make it up to you however you want
31:32But you used to like me
31:33You can't seriously say you never did
31:35You lost all that weight because you wanted to meet me
31:37And now I really do like you
31:38I looked at him
31:39What do you like?
31:40My face?
31:41His mouth opened
31:42I didn't let him answer
31:43You're disgusting
31:44His face changed
31:45The guy I liked back then wasn't this version of you
31:48I looked him straight in the eye
31:49And I'm never going to like you again
31:51So get over it
31:52I'm not going to like you again
31:54I'm not going to like you again
31:54I'm not going to like you again
31:54I'm not going to like you again
31:54I'm not going to like you again
31:54I'm not going to like you again
31:55I'm not going to like you again
31:56I'm not going to like you again
31:56I'm not going to like you again
31:57I'm not going to like you again
