What had started as a reckless escape from my lonely college life had become my absolute obsession. I was living a double existence, split cleanly down the middle between who I was in the light and who I was in the dark.

By day, I was still Nicole.

I was the plus-size freshman shuffling through campus halls in oversized men's hoodies, trying to take up as little space as humanly possible. I ate my lunches alone at the back corner table of the library, keeping my head down so no one would stare

    The next day, after my morning class, I was going back to my dorm to eat my leftover spaghetti from last night when I received a message from Willam. “W_DeLuca: Baby, I sent a little gift over to brighten your day, baby. It should be arriving right about now. Don't argue with me, just open it.I stared at the text message, a faint smile touching my lips before the familiar anxiety settled in my stomach. At precisely 11:00 AM on a crisp Thursday morning, the delivery van pulled up outside my small rental house.It wasn't just one box. The courier, wearing white leather gloves and carrying a clipboard, brought in three massive, immaculate packages adorned with designer ribbons. There were even wooden shipping crates that looked as though they belonged in an art gallery.I hauled everything upstairs to my bedroom, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest. I sliced through the tape on the largest crate first and pulled back the layers of scented black tissue paper.Inside was a brand new,

    What had started as a reckless escape from my lonely college life had become my absolute obsession. I was living a double existence, split cleanly down the middle between who I was in the light and who I was in the dark.By day, I was still Nicole.I was the plus-size freshman shuffling through campus halls in oversized men's hoodies, trying to take up as little space as humanly possible. I ate my lunches alone at the back corner table of the library, keeping my head down so no one would stare at my thick frame, broad shoulders, or round face. Whenever people walked past me, they looked right through me as though I were made of glass.But by night, the moment I locked my bedroom door and opened the app, I became Luna.And to William, Luna was everything.Our relationship didn't just grow; it became deeply rooted in every part of my daily routine. We spoke every single day without fail, and our late-night voice calls became a sacred, intoxicating ritual.Over those six long months, I l

    The arena's neon floodlights cut through the haze of ice mist, bathing the rink in a harsh, electric glare. The thunderous roar of eighteen thousand screaming fans reverberated through the steel girders overhead, creating a deafening wall of sound that usually sent adrenaline rushing through my veins.Tonight, I barely heard any of it.I sat on the bench, my helmet hanging loosely from one gloved hand, my chest heaving as sweat trickled down the back of my neck and soaked through my heavy jersey. Around me, my teammates were shouting and pounding each other's shoulder pads, celebrating a hard-fought period.As the team captain, I was supposed to be barking orders, reviewing plays, and keeping everyone focused.Instead, my eyes kept drifting toward the tunnel entrance, where one of the equipment trainers was holding my personal phone.Did she text back?"DeLuca! Great backcheck in the final minute, Cap!" our head coach barked, stepping up to the bench with a white dry-erase board clutc

    Two weeks ago, W_DeLuca had been nothing more than a stranger who annoyed me with his arrogant messages and impossible attitude. Now, I couldn't imagine going an entire day without hearing from him.Somewhere between our endless late-night conversations and his unexpected sweet moments, he had become the person I looked forward to talking to most. I checked my phone between classes, during lunch, and even while walking across campus, hoping to see his name light up my screen.It was ridiculous how much one person I'd never met could occupy my thoughts. But I was already hopelessly hooked.In the real world, I was still invisible.I was still Nicole, the fat girl who shuffled around campus in oversized hoodies, keeping her head down so no one would judge her thick body, broad shoulders, or double chin.When I walked down the hall, people stepped around me like I was an obstacle. Whenever guys looked in my direction, my stomach dropped because I knew they were looking right past me at t

    The screen switched to the main discovery feed, and profiles began appearing one after another. There were selfies taken in gym mirrors, blurry pictures from crowded bars, group photos where it was almost impossible to tell who owned the account, and short bios filled with dry one-liners.I scrolled through them without really looking for anyone in particular. The guilt from creating my fake profile was still bothering me, lingering at the back of my mind like an annoying little voice. I was a fraud, a ghost hiding behind the face of a beautiful woman who didn't even know I existed.Then a notification slid down from the top of my screen, accompanied by a soft ding.«New Message from W_DeLuca»I froze, my thumb hovering just above the screen.Curiosity got the better of me, and I tapped the notification, opening a private chat window. Before reading his message, I decided to check out his profile and see who I was dealing with.His profile was surprisingly empty. There were no linked

    The download finished with a subtle vibration that made me jump.I stared at the newly installed icon on my home screen, a minimalist purple emblem that looked like a little door waiting to be opened in the middle of my pitch-black room. My heart thumped against my ribs, caught between a strange excitement and the fear of what I was about to do.I can delete it right now, I reminded myself, my thumb hovering over the app. I haven't actually done anything yet.But the silence in my room was becoming unbearable. The moving boxes stacked in the corner, the empty notification center on my lock screen, and the constant loneliness I'd been carrying around all seemed to push me toward the decision. I couldn't bring myself to close the app, so I finally tapped the icon.A sleek welcome screen appeared, followed by a simple prompt: Create Your Profile.The first field asked me to choose a screen name. My fingers hovered over the keyboard as I considered what to type. Using my real name, Nicole
