The Monitor Masquerade

Level 7

GraceKelli's POV

"So Gamer Grace, where did you disappear to last night?" Prince asked after I answered his call.

"Family issues, sorry I just bailed."

"It's cool. Everything okay though?"

"Yeah it's just the usual. It's no big deal."

"If you ever need to talk I'm here."

"Thank you Prince of getting in other people's business."

"Hey I didn't mention your little boy toy crush."

I crossed my legs in my chair and started twisting the cord to my mic. "Whatever."

"You really like this dude don't you?" I could hear a smug little smile in his voice. It made me want to punch him.

"It doesn't matter."

"Yeah it does. Why haven't you locked down this dude yet. You're like the perfect girl...that is if you don't mind being intimidated by having a girlfriend whose better at playing video games than you are."

"No way. I'm super shy in person. Also my business is by business."

"I'll tell you about my crazy fucking girlfriend if you tell be about your hot crush."

"There's a girl that wants to be with you? What a shock."

"Yeah and she's fucking insane. I've tried to break up with her like a thousand times and she won't leave me alone."

"Then stop taking her back."

"But the sex is soooo amazing Grace you have no idea!!!"

"TOO FAR PRINCE. I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THAT."

"What? It's true? She's a bitch anyway."

"Why stay? And don't tell me it's sex."

"I just feel bad you know? Like she isn't that bad when she's herself but like she has all these fake ass friends who fill her head with all this kind of bullshit. I met her before she started hanging out with them and we started dating and fell in love and all that shit. Then she like upgraded her best friends to be in the popular crowd and now she's  a total nut case."

"Oh my God..."

"What?"

"You took her virginity didn't you?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Oh Prince come on."

"It was before she went crazy. If I knew all this would happen I defiantly would not have done it but it was like three years ago and I thought I was in love and it just sorta happened."

"You already did it?"

"Yes ma'am first party of freshman year."

"You are so gross." I scrolled through my games in my Steam library looking for something to play. I didn't really feel like getting into anything though. I was tired from last night.

"Okay little Miss Perfect then, what about your crush."

"He doesn't know I exist. I told you I'm shy."

"So? You've talked to him right?"

"No..."

"GRACE!!! YOU ARE THE MOST BADASS CHICK EVER WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?!?!"

"Nothing I just...I don't know I just don't like people. I like talking online. It's earier when you can't see my face."

"I swear to God in Heaven above us Grace if you are really a 50 year on creep I'm knock your front teeth out before I drag your sorry ass to jail."
