After I started dating Alexander Grant, the Prince of Capital Circle, online, my weight shot up, from 176 pounds to 204 pounds. On the day we were supposed to meet in real life, he totally ghosted me. Feeling completely hopeless and on the verge of ending it all, I scrolled through my phone and stumbled upon a trending anonymous question: [What's the biggest lucky break you've ever had?] The top-voted answer was: [I swooped in and stole my roommate's online boyfriend before she could meet him. Now he's proposed, and we're getting married soon. [She probably has no idea that the more she tried to lose weight, the fatter she got, because I swapped her vitamins for weight-gain pills.] The comments section was full of people calling her scheming and vicious, but she got more smug. [That fat chick was so ugly, there's no way her meetup would've worked out anyway. Why let some outsider snag the prize when I could keep it for myself? [Honestly, she should be thanking me. At least now she can be a bridesmaid at her crush's wedding.] Furious, I confronted Madeline with the post, but she turned the tables on me, making me out to be the villain. The whole school started calling me a fat pig and said I was just jealous of Madeline. In the end, Madeline landed herself a rich husband, while I dropped dead from a brain hemorrhage. My body couldn't handle how overweight I'd become. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the night before we were supposed to meet in person.
