I've never shared this story outside of Google+, where the encounter initially took place. Now before i continue, this took place three years ago, when I was fifteen, so yes, I was a bit naive. I had joined Google+ on October 13th, 2013 and I had no interest in having a girlfriend at the time, as I was just learning how to use the site, wanted to make new friends, trying to figure out how to get more followers, etc, etc.

When all of a sudden, fast forward to January 4th, 2014, this random person under the username Pika Chu began liking (+1'ng) my old posts. Like old old. From when I had started. This confused me.

(No, this isn't what I look like in real life. I'm not actually Nick Young. I just looked up Confused Face on Google Images and this came up.)


So i ignored it, and played it cool and all of a sudden, she sent me an instant message ("hangout") saying "hello?" so we began chatting. S/he let me know she was really a girl named Victoria. We started chatting, and she gave me her email (I didn't have a smartphone back then, but I had learned if you text an email address, it shows up in their inbox as an email). We talked for awhile. The next day, my dad had restricted me from electronics for "four days because I forgot to do my chores for four days. No biggie. Of course...really huge biggie. At the end of the four days, my parents looked at my Google+ account and found out that i was on Google+. So I was grounded for even longer. Eventually my dad took my phone and I told him to let Victoria know i was grounded.

I had other means to get on the internet. My laptop (I would sneak on when my parents weren't home), my Wii (connected to the internet), and of course my 3DS and my DSi. I say my DSi because that does play an important role in the story. Eventually they found out i was using the internet, and my dad unplugged the Wii from the wall (I got it back later).

Victoria and I were getting (secretly, of course) more intimate. The girl lived in Massachusetts, though, so that proved to be a bit of an issue. We became pen pals. She got all of MY mail but claimed that her mail kept getting "lost" or "the mailman was mean" and excuses like that. On my birthday, I got my phone back but got it taken away again for sexting my cousin Kaleigh (I continually asked her for pictures of her belly button). Awkward.

During my birthday before I got my phone taken away, she began ignoring me and I started crying and going insane, and she finally told me that it was her birthday too and that "I'm sorry i'm ignoring you but I want to spend time for myself. So I apologized.

Later on, I finally get my phone back and I check my email to receive a hurtful email from her saying that she thought I was cheating on her, and that her friends think I was an asshole and that unless I reply to her in five days she was going to leave me. I quickly responded to her and we forgot about that ever happening.

Of course, later she broke up with me because our relationship was "unstable," which bothered me because we agreed to be together "forever" and we were only together for three months.

She blocked me during the summer on every piece of social media that I have contact with her but I tracked her down on another account. She let me know that somebody had hacked her and that the hacker was dating me for three months. I asked if she wanted to start over and she said "No, i read the conversations that you had with the hacker and I don't approve."

Frankly, I thought she was lying because she blocked me on that account and hasn't contacted me since, but I do remember she sent me eight photos of her and two photos of her belly button and all of them looked different. I don't know.

All of this happened three years ago and even though I'm over it, I haven't forgotten.
