Dennis was sitting on the bleachers watching his high school’s homecoming game on a Friday night. His friend Taylor checking his Snapchat and admiring the story feed of Isabella,an 18 year old senior and one of the most popular cheerleaders on the squad.

“Yeah dude I heard Isabella gave the entire football team head” Taylor smirked back at a disgruntled Dennis sitting behind him.

Dennis madly yelled back at Taylor “ like that’s my girl, where are you hearing that shut from?”

“Dude, everyone whose playing on the field is in on it, all of the cheerleaders know, Isabella’s best friend Ashley whose the caption of the cheerleader squad knows, swear to God yo” Taylor said convincingly while checking out Isabella Snap Stories.

“And dude, Todd screened shot that one post she deleted from Snap yesterday and sent it to me” On the screen was a picture of a husky Muscular guy the blonde hair along side a dark hair Latino looking female with braces smiling with the caption “😍 this guy ♥️“.

Dennis then replied and recalled “this is bullshit, like last week I was doing 8th period study hall and Isabella wasn’t replying to my messages and just went completely ghost on me”

Then Taylor snarkliy said back to Dennis

“It’s the sus rumors and disloyalty for me”

As Dennis got up from the bleachers and walked down to the field near the cheerleaders who were about to perform their cheer during the first half,. Running angerily towards Ashley as she prepared to lead their cheer, Deniss signaled her to come speak to him. Ashely looked then shook her head rapidly at Dennis as she lip talked “can’t talk gotta go”and angry Dennis waited for the cheerleaders to perform their performance.

Shortly after cheer performance, Ashley came over to take Dennis aside for a brief chat.

“Why is Taylor saying Isabella is sucking off the entire football team? “Dennis said angrily whispering to Ashley.

Dennis quickly pulled out his iPhone and showed the deleted story from Snapchat of her in the linebacker Chad smiling and with the caption “😍 this guy ♥️

Ashley shrugged her shoulders, shook her head and said “I don’t know what you’re even talking about, you need to chill though because she’s probably just hanging out with chad don’t be so controlling dude! “

Then Ashley rolled her eyes as she walks back towards the other cheerleaders in unison. Dennis begin to crutch his fist tightly as he continued staring at the picture of his girlfriend Isabella with Chad in a deleted Snapchat photo. Then suddenly Todd DMd Dennis “yo bro!, FaceTime me, got something important to tell u.”

Dennis runs inside of the high school bathroom and into the toilet stall as he sat down and gave Todd a call. Dennis frantically stared at the screen as Todd explained the news Dennis wasn’t ready to hear. “I’m not gonna lie to you bro, but Isabella officially belongs to the streets “Todd said constantly as he puffed on a marijuana joint with headset on playing GTA five in the background of the video.

“ Ya Bella is a hoe straight up my dude, you should let her go or she’s gonna break your heart” Todd said as he was starring at his tv and playing GTA Online.

Dennis, still clenching onto his smart phone staring at Todd over FaceTime “I don’t believe this, I hope someone’s capping “he said angrily too Todd.

Well it’s like you said yesterday and for the entire week, she was distant, didn’t want to cuddle you and then practically ghosted you like the entire week bro” Todd factually said to a shocked distressed Dennis sitting on top of a toilet lid in the men’s bathroom. “You gotta put two and two together my guy, look if I were you though, I’d dump her for real cause she’s everybody’s girlfriend really” .

Dennis just coldly sat on the toilet seat with tears running through his eyes as he clenched onto the phone, hand shakily gripping onto it’s edges and him hearing his worse fears being confirmed by Todd.

Dennis couldn’t believe what he was just hearing as he said on the toilet. His anxiety levels went up as he felt a tingling butterflies in his gut. Was this the end of him and Isabella? Was Isabella really being unfaithful whilst fooling around with other guys?

“Wait, Todd? Who’s telling you all this?! “Dennis said nervously on FaceTime.

Like the whole clique knows, the entire football team is in on it too.And you know Ashley is not going to be real with you my dude. I wouldn’t be surprised if Isabella has prevented you from like;seeing any of her streaks and public stories” Todd replied.

As Todd was revealing this information to him, Dennis started to look back at how Isabellas stories on Snapchat was never visible to him but appearently everyone else seen them. It also explain how on most days, after school Isabella was distant and not willing to cuddle or to make out with Dennis.

Dennis started crying in shock in the bathroom for 30 minutes and then went back to the bleachers where the game was about to wrap up. As the game finished, Dennis went down near the high school’s football field to talk with Isabella. Looking worried in the face, Dennis walk towards Isabella as she was talking to two other guys including Chad. As he got closer to Isabella, he waved and yelled “Isabella? Babe! “.

Isabella didn’t even blink an eye and completely ignored Dennis as she blushed and looked at both Chad,the linebacker and Patrick, the starting quarterback of their high school team. Isabella gleefully followed and talked with both Chad and Patrick while completely ignoring Dennis as they walked right past him. Dennis began to look confused and dazed as he turned his neck watching Isabella, Chad, and Patrick walk together inside the men’s locker room.He knew that Isabella saw him, but deliberately chose to ignore Dennis’s presence.

Then all the rumors of Isabella and what she did to the whole football team started to play in his mind. Followed by the numerous times that Isabella would ignore any of Dennis’s texts or phone calls. Started to become abundantly clear that something strange was happening and that his relationship with Isabella wasn’t quite what it seemed.

And then it started to hit Dennis yet again. Every time people saw him and Isabella together holding hands, everyone in the hallway begin to whisper each other secretly as though there was an insider secret everyone was concealing away from

Dennis.Whatever that information was, it was for his own good. It was so that Dennis would be protected and ignorantly live in bliss. Whilst everybody else in the school knew about Isabella sexual escapades, Dennis was obviously left out because the joke was was on him. He unknowingly was in a relationship with a whore.

He didn’t really know since everything Isabella did was secret as she would do sneaky links with the football team.Walking frantically as anxiety started to build up in his gut, Dennis started sweating and feeling nervous.Somehow, he knew that his days are numbered with Isabella.

So Dennis checked his Snapchat and discovered that his so-called girlfriend Isabella, blocked him. She also turned off her GPS location and completely ghosted Dennises text messages. Something strange is going on, and Dennis was about to endure pain unlike anything he’d felt in 18 years of his young life.Later at night, as Dennis was laying in bed staring at his smart phone and waiting anxiously for Isabella to reply, he finally received a text message as he awaits the bubble to appear on the screen.

“Bae, wyd? Please answer me, where are you”

Dennis texted Isabella.

Then a thought text bubble appeared and was sent with the following message:

Please Don’t call me bae anymore.Tbh I just like you as a friend rn and I need to take care of myself. And you look so lame af simping for me, it’s the desperation and being too nice for me, so ya.sorry.

Dennis stared at all the pictures and selfies of him and Isabella over the last six months of their relationship. As he started crying curled up in a ball on his bed in the darkness in his room. He knew the relationship was over and that he was officially single. But he couldn’t live life without Isabella because his identity was Isabella.Well because he was too nice and actually was in love with Isabella, it wasn’t enough for her. Because Isabella needed thrills and Dennis couldn’t provide that for her.So Dennis cried all alone in his bed.

Dennis’s little brother knocked on the door opened it, and laughed. “You’re a Simp Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah “his little brother laugh whilst slamming the his bedroom door.

Dennis couldn’t sleep and stayed up all night brokenhearted in in shock, he stared at the ceiling with tears dripping from his cheeks.Thoughts of regret race to Dennis’s mine as he realized that Isabella wasn’t just his girlfriend, but also everyone else’s and he was just a pawn in her manipulative game.

Meanwhile Isabella got engaged and then married. She and her husband moved to the Suberbs where she’s now a mother of 3. Isabella smiled as she saw an old picture of Dennis and her together on a Snapchat picture and muttered to herself” what a dumb simp” as she strolled through the collage of photos on her old iPhone. Dennis became a deadbeat to society, lost his job at McDonald’s and finally became homeless. No one heard from him in years.

Later that day she called her son to come eat lunch as she walked inside of her 2 story home.of course, she’d occasionally get bored and have sex with other male friends in spite, but her husband never found out. Sure Isabella could be a lot of things,a whore, unstable, a narcissist, selfish but one thing she isn’t to the world is a loser, but a champion. Because cheating and hurting other people to get ahead was the only way for her to win the game of Life. Dennis became a homeless, single guy digging out of garbage cans while Isabella lived the rest of her days married with a man that was able to provide her an excess lifestyle.
