Catfish: The Untold Story.

Late 2008

Zadan

Not long after he moved to Michigan and began working with Jordan and Blake at the construction company he got lonely. Blake worked too damn much too ever get to hang out and Jordan was a good buddy to hang out with but he was the wrong gender. Sam was too busy with her boyfriend down in Florida so he decided to get online and take a look around Myspace. Myspace brought up a lot of girls he could talk to and he did. Back then everyone seemed to talk to anyone without much worry. People were more trusting so to speak. He would send a message to random girls and just wait until they answered. Finally one did. Her name was Kristine. She was a couple years younger than him, blonde hair and green eyes. She was shy and had a boyfriend but since he was only looking for a friend to talk to she didn't seem to mind. She accepted his friend request and they began to talk. He looked at all of her pictures. He found a few that he favored more than others and they stuck out in his mind. His eyes drank her in. He messaged her here and there at first making small talk and the getting to you one another stage. She had grown up in California but being a child whose father was in the Navy, they had packed up and moved to Texas. They had been in the same city for over ten years but she still considered herself a Cali girl with a Texas flare. She had a hidden wild side she would show here and there whenever she talked about her nights out with the girls. Her friends brought out the craziness in her. Her nickname being crazy K. This intrigued Zadan that much more. She was in her senior year of high school about to graduate. She had two brothers Tom and Ken. Tom had a girlfriend and Ken was single but had just recently came out to the family.

Zadan would message her every day and every day she would reply, more often than not she would be home talking to him back and forth through messenger that he finally asked her what she seen in her boyfriend.

She explained that they had known each other for years but lately he had started treating her a little worse each and every day. He had been a football player and her group of friends, mainly men that played sports and they just got together. There was another guy in the group that had always fancied her but she was always taken plus she only seen him as a brother. She laid it all out there for Zadan the more they talked the closer they got. Zadan of course put his own story out there for her too. He made sure to tell her about Sam at first. He wanted nothing to stand in the way. Not that he had any intention of dating this girl but just in case anything did happen he didn't want her to get jealous of his relationship with Sam, his best friend. She seemed to understand when it came to her and he seemed to understand that she was with a loser and one night after she came home upset he finally had the balls to stay something to her about him. She had said they got into a fight because they were drinking in a friends' garage just listening to music and he started acting like an ass to her for no reason. She called him on his shit and he didn't like that in front of his friends. Zadan didn't like that at all, men speaking to woman in a harsh way was something that would set him off at the snap of his fingers.

"You can do better than that K." K was her nickname and Zadan liked to call her something that her boyfriend didn't.

"I guess." She replied.

"Plus I mean shit we already talk all day and all night, I'm just sayin..." He said smirking into his computer screen.

K was quiet for a moment before she typed, "You're a sweet talker Z."

"Maybe for you." He said. "So really, when are you going to leave that douchebag and get with me?"

"Z..."

"I know I know it's not that easy but just know I am here when you are ready K. You deserve to be treated with respect.

She was silent for a moment, "Why do you like me, you haven't even met me yet?"
