I Used My Bestfriend's Identity in RPW

I Used My Bestfriend's Identity in RPW

Roleplayer World is a world for roleplayers, like me, who want to escape the cruelty of reality. Here, you can fake everything: your name, your gender, your address, your face, your whole identity.

I've been a roleplayer since last 2017 with my account named Lance Delacroix. I'm also in a relationship with Asher Crystal for six months now. Everything between us was going on smoothly, not until she decided to put our relationship to the next level—operator to operator.

That means we would send our real faces to each other.

At first, I was declining on her idea but it hurt her badly, to the point she ignored me for hours. So in the end, I agreed.

She was the first one to send her picture—and damn girl, she's the cutest. With her chubby cheeks, fair complexion, rounded chestnut eyes, and pinkish lips, I knew she got me again for the second time around.

Later, she asked me to do the same thing. So, using my real account, I chatted my bestfriend, Ryle, and asked if I could use his pictures in RPW.

He knew about me, roleplaying and such, so he allowed me to use his pictures.

Ryle is a good-looking guy. He also has a fair complexion, pointed nose, thin red lips, thick eyebrows, perfect chiseled jawline, and alluring coal-black eyes.

He's definitely the perfect guy to let Asher believe that I'm really him.

And so, I used my bestfriend's identity. Whenever Asher would ask too personal questions about myself, I would use my bestfriend's basic information, so it would look convincing that I'm Ryle.

Lance:
Gwapo ko 'di ba?

Asher:
Oo na, gwapo na. Happy?
HAHAHAHA pero love, may tanong ako

Lance:
Ano 'yon?

Asher:
Lance ba talaga name mo?

Lance:
Hindi

Asher:
Eh? Edi anooo
Dayaa, ikaw alam mo real account ko tapos ako hindi ko alam yong sayoo

Lance:
Hahaha soon, sasabihin ko rin sayo love

Asher:
Oo na, ano real name mo?

Lance:
Ryle

Asher:
Ryle?
Halatang mapanaket ah HAHAHAHA joke

As the day goes by, she became even more curious about knowing me. After all, she has the right since she's my girl.

Summer vacation came, and she informed me that she'll live temporarily in Manila with her other relatives. Given the fact that I've told her that I live in Manila, she invited me to have a meet-up with her.

Before I agreed, I asked my bestfriend first if he could meet up with Asher for me. It took a while in convincing him, but as soon as I showed him my girlfriend's pictures, he finally agreed.

That day, I told him things all about our love story—like how we met, the exact date we became together, basic info about my girlfriend and such—just in case Asher would ask him questions when they had already met each other.

Days passed, and the day of their meet-up came. At the Starbucks, 9 AM sharp.

I was there too, sitting three tables away from them, watching how they sweetly talked and giggled to each other.

If you would ask me if I felt jealous—no, rather, I smiled. The fact that Asher really believed that Ryle is me is already a good sign that the planned meet-up worked.
