I logged on to Bigworlds.com, when I log on, I log into my small homespace first. There's a list of my friends below, on top of that there's small squares with letters underneath it, they are; places, inventory, e-mail, people (friends) and settings.

I got a message from my friend Alejandro, he's annoying, always asking me to help him so I can get paid in tokens! I wasn't using him, I just didn't want to sound rude plus he was my friend and would always play together at this game called Outerspace jumpers. It's an addicting game, it's where at least eight people join but it has to only be four on each team (black and white) we have these five virtual guns, they are sparkle star, lazer, corn gun, ice cannon and dizzy gun (not making avatars dizzy just stars around their head) the most effective gun is sparkle star, lazer and ice cannon. The players will have a bar on top of their head, it's just their life, once they're shot with guns and the bar goes down they teleport back to their team base while the door locks for five seconds. While it'll be possible for one of the team to get the flag while the door is locked, the door gets locked automatically so it doesn't necessarily always closes when avatars teleport back to their base. Each shot is one point, when they kill avatars (not literally since they get teleported and refill life) then if they get the flag it gives twenty five points, if one of the team reaches at least one hundred points the game is over and that particular team wins. After that all the avatars will return back to this main spot return to their normal clothes. The suits are like robot suits with dark brown gloves, white team has a whole robot outfit and black does as well.

Now, I met Alejandro he would always greet me and we'd always play together with his cousin (in real life) Snoop. I hate Snoop so much, he's always mean to me, well I started the drama first but I was just poking fun. But his jokes can be offensive, especially when I come to his house (with Alejandro), he has this teleporter that always teleports me back and fourth, it'd always piss me off a lot, so I'd always end up leaving. Everyday I played Outerspace jumpers with Alejandro I liked him bit by bit, I enjoyed talking to him and helping him out at his house. Then one day, I confronted I liked him, he said this,

"I have to tell you something after this game".

So after we were done playing, he told me he liked me, in my mind I wasn't all surprised, was just glad that these mysterious feelings inside we didn't know about were let out. So then, we started hanging out more and we officially dated later on.

After dating for a few weeks, he wasn't really affectionate towards me, he never gave me gifts, we did go to outerspace jumpers, we did talk. It was like our relationship was like a normal friendship but with feelings. He'd always be out somewhere in real life and whenever I'm online with him I'd always follow him because I loved him, he has complained that we needed space, which is ridiculous what boyfriend wants space from his girlfriend? I understand if you want space from your beloved, maybe you want your own peace and quiet or don't like talking at least pay attention that you're in a relationship, you can't always have "space" all the time. If you want space, I'll give you space after I feel like we've spent enough time, I can never give you space because I was in love with you.

One day I met Snoop's fiance Super, she was so fake and annoying. I thought she was ok at first, but then I realized she was talking behind my back. Snoop and Alejandro had a mom online, how babyish is that? Especially on a virtual game. Their mom never liked me for no particular reason, I had no idea if she was envious or rather had a mental illness, just because her precious son has recently started a relationship with me. Sometimes people are bitchy like that anyways, so one time Super asked me if I wanted to go shopping with them, although I was low with virtual gold and tokens, I agreed to go just see their avatars trying outfits in the "small shop". But then Alejandro's mom said I didn't have to go, she didn't want me to follow, but um this is a virtual game is she really my mom in real life? No. So I didn't care what she had to say and ignored then left. After arriving at the shop, I was bored, no one saying one single word to me. So I decided to just go play outer space jumpers instead, I have no time to waste.
