Sociophobia

THE PARTY You just arrived at [[Mark->Mark]]'s party. He guilted you into coming despite numerous protests. You slowly walk up to his door and check your text messages. A message from mark appears. "You Coming?" You take a deep breath and open the door. Thousands of faces. Well, not thousands, but it might as well be. You vaguely reconize a few of them. As you walk through the party you see [[Kira->Kira]]. [[Talk to Kira->The Girl]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

THE GIRL You walk towards Kira. She is talking to a few of her friends. You don't know who any of them are. She is standing very close to [[Don->Don]]. A huge smile is on his face. Don makes a joke and the group laughs. Kira included. Her smile is intoxicating. You come closer and closer to the group until you pass them completely, heading for the kitchen. You'll talk to her later . . . when there aren't so many people around. In the kitchen is a couple making out on the table. You freeze. After a moment you realize it's Mark and his girlfriend. You look around trying to decide what to do. [[Laugh loudly and make fun of Mark's kissing technique->The Living Room]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

MARK Mark has been your best friend since Pre-School. You haven't made any other significant friends since. He plays sports, so he hangs out with a lot of people you don't know. You wish you hung out more, but being around his friends makes you nervous. He tries to get you to come to more school functions, but you worry because of how few peole you know. [[Back->The Party]]

KIRA The head of the AV club at school. Not super popular, but you've had a crush on her since the beginning of high school. To you she is perfect. Not the classing blonde hair-blue eyed beauty queen. She's different, and amazing. She's always been nice to you. [[Back->The Party]]

HOME Safe at last. You grab a blanket, a bowl of popcorn, and settle in your bed for a nice night of Daredevil Season 2.

What a jerk. Don is the lead anchor on your high school's news program. Biggest tool in the school. [[Back->The Girl]]

THE LIVING ROOM You are about to laugh at Mark to lighten an awkward situation but immediately shut down. He probably doesn't even want to see you. He would rather be with his girlfriend anyways. He only invited you to this party out of obligation. You grab a drink and walk away dejected. You are in the living room. Groups of people talk and laugh around you. Everyone is looking at you, you're sure of it. Their laughter is about your misshapen body and the giant pimple you have on your face. They obviously think you're discusting. [[Make a Joke->The Cool Kids]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

THE COOL KIDS You walk towards the [[group of kids->Cool Kids]] sitting on the couch. You try to tell a joke from one of your favorite TV shows. You stumble on your words and it comes out completely wrong. The kids look at each other trying to get what you were saying. They're scoffing at your stupidity. Why would you even talk to them. You're just a disgusting loser. A girl gives a pity laugh. Pathetic. You look arounds awkwardly as the group of kids whisper about you. [[Go to the Bathroom->The Bathroom]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

THE BATHROOM You walk towards The Bathroom. You just need a second away from the party to gather yourself. You get to the door but it's locked. No Escape. You keep walking down the hallway until you get to a bedroom. A couple is inside, talking. They notice you. "A little privacy please?" That's embarrassing. You quickly apologize and turn around. No place to take a moment to compose yourself. Those people in the bedroom think you're some kind of pervert and the people at the party think you're disgusting. Why did you even come? You don't deserve friends anyways. You have no right to be at this party. Mark only brings you to these things because he thinks he has to. He's such a good friend and you are ruining your relationship by forcing him to be around you. [[Stick it Out->Back To The Party]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

THE COOL KIDS Basically anyone except you. These are kids you have been going to school since elementary. You don't hang out with them regularly because you don't want to burden them with your presence. They don't ever invite you places so its obvious they don't like being around you. Why force yourself on people who hate you. [[Back->The Cool Kids]]

BACK TO THE PARTY Everyone is having a great time without you. You stand awkwardly in the doorway. People stare at you again. How dare you ruin such a fun party by being there? You really should have stayed home. What are you even contributing? Mark doesn't need or want you there, and his friends don't care to know you. Suddenly a [[girl->Random Girl]] you don't know walks up to you. "Hey! I've seen you around but I aoav ajf w erp sg cga sdfg." What did she say? Who is this girl? Why is she talking to YOU? She is way to pretty. Completely out of your league. She's obviously here to make you look stupid in front of her friends. It's ok, you probably deserve it. They just want you to leave. Why don't you just leave? [[Talk to her->The Conversation]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

You look at her for a long time. You should have said something by now. Wait, how long have you been looking at her like that. She's giving you a look. What is that? Holy shit just say something. WHY DID YOU COME HERE?! This was a stupid idea! Mark doesn't want you here! She looks super confused right now. She thinks you're insane. Eww You're sweating like, really bad. You should definately leave. That's it. Abort mission. You will NOT stay here for another second. You can't. EVERYONE want's you gone. You have no friends so get back to your hole where you belong. [[Go Home->Go Home]] [[Go Home->Go Home]]

RANDOM GIRL I don't know. Maybe she's in one of your classes? At this point it's hard to even remember her face. Why would you want to anyways? She's honestly probably only talkint to you because she thinks it'll be hilarious. A good story to tell her friends about. She'll say "Hey do you know that weird kid? I totally talked to him at the party. He said the stupidest things!" She's the worst. [[Back->Back To The Party]]
