It's your first day of Computer Science classes. You have to choose what to wear.
[[Vid game<-Wear your favorite video game shirt.]] Maybe it'll help you meet people with similar interests!
[[blend in <- Wear something more casual.]] No need to draw attention to yourself on day 1.
[[feminine <-Get a bit dressy.]] You want to make a good first impression!
(set:$clothes to "game")
Awesome! You're wearing your favorite Pokemon shirt and excited to get started on your first day.
You have all your materials and you're ready to learn more.
You walk in. There isn't a lot of space and you have to choose to sit next to someone else. Where should you sit?
[[guy <- By a guy]]
[[girl <- By another girl]]
(set:$clothes to "norm")
Playing it safe never hurt anyone. You go to class in a solid color tee and jeans.
You have all your materials and you're ready to learn more.

[[girl <- By another girl]]
(set: $friend to "guy")
You sit by some guy in class not too far from the front.
(if: $clothes is "fem")[You notice he glances over at what you're wearing a couple times, but doesn't really introduce himself or talk to you. You don't think too much of it.
[[checkout<-No big deal hopefully.]]]

[[checkout<-No big deal hopefully.]]]
(if: $clothes is "game")[You notice he glances at your chest a couple times, maybe trying to figure out what the design on your shirt is. After a minute of silence between you, he introduces himself as Ryan and starts talking to you about your shirt.
"Man I love Pokemon too. It's really cool to see a girl that's really getting into games, it's pretty rare and unique... you seem really interesting"
How do you respond?
[[geekout <- Thank him and try to carry on conversation about Pokemon]]
[[shutdown <- Thank him but don't continue the conversation]]
]
(set: $friend to "girl")
You sit by another girl in class since she seems pretty friendly.
(if: $clothes is "fem")[She looks at your outfit. "I LOVE your dress!," she says. She introduces herself as Alexa and you thank her since she seems so nice! You feel pretty good about class since it seems like you already met someone friendly. A guy sits on the other side of you but you don't really take notice.]
(if: $clothes is "game")[She looks at your outfit and tells you she also loves Pokemon. She introduces herself as Alexa and you chat about your favorite games for a minute or two before class gets settled and started. A guy sits on the other side of you but you don't really take notice.]
(if: $clothes is "norm")[She looks at your outfit and tells you she loves that color shirt on you because it brings out your eyes. She introduces herself as Alexa and you thank her since she seems so nice! You feel pretty good about class since it seems like you already met someone friendly. A guy sits on the other side of you but you don't really take notice.]
[[alex<-Keep talking with Alexa]]
The professor starts his lecture. He starts covering the basics of Java and what kind of object oriented programming you're going to be doing over the semester.
Professor asks to see a show of hands of who has ever had any experience with programming before, no matter how minor.
[[up<-Raise your hand]]
[[down<-Don't raise your hand]]
You: "Yeah! I love Pokemon. I've been really into the games since I was a kid, my favorite's probably Jigglypuff."
Ryan: "Haha it makes sense your favorite is Jigglypuff, it's so pink and girly and cute. Sort of like you, haha. Just joking. But really that shirt looks really good on you and it's just so awesome you also like Pokemon. How many games have you played? If your favorite is Jigglypuff I'm guessing not too many haha."
How do you respond?
[[gamergurl<-"I mean... it's just my favorite Pokemon because it just is. And I've played almost every game."]]
[[pleb<-"I've played a couple, don't think it really matters though I just really like Pokemon."]]
You: "Uh yeah. Thanks."
Ryan: "I mean it's just like really rare to meet someone so into Pokemon. How many games have you played? What's your favorite Pokemon?"
[[geekout <-Indulge him and answer.]] Might as well since he seems to be making an effort to get to know you.
[[pleb<-Continue blowing him off]] Keep giving him brief responses to make it clear you're not really looking to chat with him. He's giving off kind of a creepy vibe. (if: $friend is "girl")[Talking to Alexa was better anyway.]
Ryan: "Wow that's really cool and interesting. It's almost like you're just too good too be true! I've literally never met a girl that into games like you, I think I'd really like to get to know you better."
Ryan scoots his chait a bit closer to you and you start to feel sort of uncomfortable. He's coming off a little strong and seems romantically interested but you barely know him and don't really feel the same.
[[start class<-It's fine, class is starting anyway.]]
Ryan: "I knew you were too good to be true! No girl as pretty as you could know that much about Pokemon, it just wouldn't be fair haha. But still, that shirt is pretty awesome and you seem really cool."
Ryan scoots his chait a bit closer to you and you start to feel sort of uncomfortable. He seems romantically interested but you barely know him and don't really feel the same.
(if: $friend is "girl")[Alexa looks over and sees him acting weird. It looks like she's about to say something but the professor starts talking.]
[[start class<-It's fine, class is starting anyway I guess.]]
The guy eventually introduces himself as Ryan. You note that he's pretty much staring at your chest the whole time he talks to you. He tries to start a couple conversations about the first day of class, but never lifts his eyes from your chest.
(if: $friend is "girl")[You look over to Alexa to see if she notices that he's acting kind of aggressive. She's glaring at him subtely so you're pretty sure that's a yes.]
He's definitely coming off a bit creepy, but luckily [[start class<-class is about to start.]]
Professor: "Wow, pretty surprising we have a couple girls raising their hands this semester. Not the same old thing I guess haha."
(if: $friend is "girl")[You and Alexa share a skeptical look.]
...That was kind of an unnecessary thing to say.
Alright then.
[[cont<-Anyway.]]

Class goes on, lecture gets a bit dull. You're not getting too into the material since none of it is too new to you.
Ryan continues your previous discussion in hushed tones.
Ryan: "Hey, what do you think about working on the project or maybe just hanging out together sometime? I think we'd get along really well together, want to give me your number?"
[[num<-Give him your number]] You don't want to cause a scene. It's not the worst idea to get a study buddy.
[[nonum<-Uhhh I don't think so.]]
The guy to your left seems to keep checking you out, but you pretend not to notice. You're having a great conversation with Alexa, who seems super chill.
Out of nowhere, the guy to your other side interrupts you bonding with Alexa. Kind of rude.
(if: $clothes is "fem")[You're not really invested in whatever he wants from you but [[checkout<-unfortunately]] he doesn't seem like he's going to stop talking to you anytime soon.]
(if: $clothes is "norm")[You're not really invested in whatever he wants from you but [[checkout<-unfortunately]] he doesn't seem like he's going to stop talking to you anytime soon.]

How do you respond?
[[geekout <- Thank him and try to carry on conversation about Pokemon]]
[[shutdown <- Thank him but don't continue the conversation]]

Ryan: "Awesome! We've GOT to meet up later."
(((more to come))
Ryan: "Why not? Do you have a boyfriend or something? I'm just trying to get to know you better, come on! You just seem really unique and amazing, is it really so wrong I want to see you more?"
[[num<- Give him your number]] and maybe he'll leave you alone.
[[num2<- Give him a fake number]]
[[bf <- "I have a boyfriend."]]
[[nomeansno <- "I'm just not interested."]]
Ryan: "Wow that's too bad. I hope he appreciates you. You deserve to be treated like a queen you know?"
You respond with
[[sass<-"We're really happy together, thanks."]]
[[awk<-"You're starting to make me uncomfortable."]]
[[nonee<-Stay silent and ignore him.]]

Ryan: "Awesome! We've GOT to meet up later. I'll text you so you have my number too and we can plan you coming over to my place sometime!"
Ryan pulls out his phone to text your number. You start to get nervous since you gave him a fake number in the first place and he's about to find out.
He texts you some emojis.
There's a pause.
Ryan: "Is your phone on silent or something? I didn't see you get my text..."
Shit.
Ryan: "Let me try calling you."
[[fakenum<-Fuck.]]
where ryan finds out u got a fake num and links back to him calling u a bitch and stuff///
