Story

The story

Lily discovers a Reddit post about a man whose online girlfriend of a year refuses to meet him, and the photo he shared is one of herself in her pajamas. Her roommate Bella, meanwhile, is boasting about her wealthy boyfriend Ethan Sterling, sending her gifts and promising to introduce her to his parents, even asking Lily whether they might look alike if she lost weight.

When Bella demands a selfie, Lily sends a carefully chosen photo of herself in a white dress with her long hair down, the very look Ethan is said to prefer. Lily then stages a deliberate collision with Ethan at the basketball court of F University, playing the innocent stranger who has never met him, and walks away without looking back.

As Bella's gifts keep arriving and her calls grow tense, Lily watches her roommate's confidence crack, quietly turning the deception back on its source.

Opening excerpt

I was scrolling through Reddit when I saw a photo of myself.

The caption read: [Title: My online girlfriend of one year refuses to meet me. What should I do?]

The next second, my roommate suddenly leaned in close: "Guys, how can I lose 30 pounds in a month?"

While I was still confused, she added: "Lily, if I lose weight, do you think we'd look alike?"

I stared at the Reddit post.

The comments had already piled up into a skyscraper.

[Bro, wake up. That's definitely a catfish using a stolen photo. You're being scammed!]
