Bettsy catches my eyes before I can turn away, his face set in a deep frown, as if he’s been told Santa wasn’t coming. “Fine,” I sigh. Then, readying my voice, I shout into the room. “Anyone up for a game of poker?”

After wandering through thecity for the past hour, I return to my brother’s apartment, letting the tears flow as soon as the door is closed.

I don’t even bother to turn the light on, hiding my shame in the darkness of the empty hallway. I slump down to the floor and hug my knees to my chest, letting go completely. How many hours did I spend talking to him? Or her. It could literally be anyone.

Through blurry eyes, I download the app again, carefully tapping in my username and password, sighing with relief when the conversation history loads. There must be something here showing this guy is a fraud.

I spend ages scrolling right to the top, to the start of our conversation, based on a post I’d put up. It had been a desperate plea after receiving my sixth dick pic of the day. I should’ve deleted the app right then.

“Are guys only on here for one thing?”

Him

No, we’re not.

Me

I’ve had so many dick pics today and I’m not okay!

Him

I can safely say I’ve never sent a dick pic in my entire life.

Me

Ha. Well, that’s actually refreshing to hear.

Him

Granted, I don’t know the etiquette of this app yet. It’s my first time.

Me

I definitely wouldn’t go around telling people that. People will take advantage of you.

Him

Like penis related advantage?

Me

Exactly that. What are you here for, then?

Him

Honestly, I don’t know. Conversation,I guess. You?

Me

Same. Obviously, it’s not been a success. I’m close to uninstalling.

Him

But I have so much to offer.

Me

Oh God, you’re going to send me a dick pic now, aren’t you?
