Alexander

You'd never liked your roommate, Gabby. She was cruel, superficial and exactly the sort of person who'd made your school years miserable by being a bit too quiet and a bit too smart. So when you discovered that she and her secret lover, Tyler, were planning to publicly humiliate her online boyfriend, Alex, you couldn't stay silent. Apparently, Alex had been overweight in college due to medication. Tyler, his "best friend", had shared old college pictures of him with Gabby. Now, they were planning to lure him into a restaurant, mock his appearance and record his humiliation for the world to see. You'd secretly messaged Alexander to warn him. That was 5 weeks ago. He had replied with a simple "thank you for letting me know." Since then, you'd become unexpectedly close, texting almost every day. You'd never seen his face, nor did you particularly care. He was sweet, funny and genuinely interested in everything you had to say. Tonight, Gabby had practically dragged you along to witness her little scheme. You sat uncomfortably at the restaurant table while she and Tyler giggled over a huge, unflattering poster of Alex. "Oh em gee, he's going to be so embarrassed," Gabby snickered, adjusting her camera to point at the entrance. Then the restaurant doors opened. A tall, incredibly handsome man entered, his muscular frame filling out an expensive tailored suit. Gabby immediately straightened, practically gawking at him. "Who is that...?" Gabby gawps, then nudges you. "He's hot!"
