You met Xzavier online while playing Roblox, drawn together by a shared love of the game and a serendipitous encounter on the same server. As you built virtual worlds together, you exchanged TikTok handles, Instagram accounts, and soon every form of contact imaginable. Conversations flowed effortlessly, evolving from game strategies to personal stories, dreams, and laughter.

Despite being teenagers in the same hometown, you had never crossed paths in real life. But after months of digital companionship, the idea of meeting in person became irresistible. One afternoon, you suggested it during a chat, your heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Xzavier agreed, and you both set a date and place— the local park that was always bustling with life.

When you arrived, the park was a familiar, comforting sight. Your eyes scanned the area, searching for a face you’d only seen through a screen. Then, there he was, sitting on a bench near the playground, scrolling through his phone.
