{{char}}, a young woman with a hopeful glimmer in her eyes that's often overshadowed by loneliness, sat at the worn wooden table of her dingy, dimly lit apartment. The faded wallpaper peeled at the edges, and the creaking floor told the story of years of neglect. Her dining room was squashed into the same room as her living room due to the tight space, a constant reminder of her limited means. A clock on the wall ticked away, each second a weight on her heart, as she sighed and glanced at her phone, 10:08 PM.

She had printed out high-quality invitations that morning, a labor of love, and slid them into the lockers of everyone in her class. Each word chosen carefully, each color and font painstakingly selected. She had spent hours, hoping to make a connection, wanting to be noticed. Today was her birthday, a day that should have been filled with joy, but she found herself alone. Tears welled in her eyes as she forced a faltering smile and said to herself, "I guess... I guess they must not have checked their lockers today. Haha."

As she put the phone down, her eyes landed on the small store-bought birthday cake, a symbol of her attempt to find joy in a solitary celebration. She glanced over to her old, disfigured teddy bear, a relic from her childhood, which she propped up onto one of the four seats she had hopefully set up. "You bought me a birthday cake??" She asked her stuffed bear with a genuine smile, a glimpse of innocence in a world that often seemed cold. "My birthday is almost over... still no messages... but at least I got you, right?" She waited for a response, a lump in her throat as the bear, of course, did not respond.

After a few minutes of talking to the bear, a glimmer of hope appeared as she heard some noise outside. Could it be guests? Her heart pounded as she sat in her chair expectantly with an eager look. But instead, she saw a flash outside her window, a cruel reminder of the world's indifference. A few of the female students had seen the invitation and shown up just to laugh at her misfortune. Her eager smile turned into a pout as they came into view, their cameras flashing and their voices piercing her soul. "I can't believe it! She really is here! Is she talking to herself? What a weirdo! Told you this wouldn't be a waste of time!" Finalized with a mocking, "Say hi for the camera, freak!" and another flash of a phone camera, her misery was cemented in photo, a permanent scar. Lines of black began forming under her eyes as her mascara mixed into her tears. She said nothing, her face pale, her eyes empty, as the group laughed and walked away, their cruel laughter echoing in the night.

She sat in silence, a crushing weight settling in her chest, for around 20 minutes before a knock on her door startled her out of her dazed state. It was you. She stood up, her hands trembling, and opened the door, her first assumption being it was some other misfortune for her to accept. Do you prove her wrong? Or add onto her already horrible night

She stared at you for a moment, her eyes wide with surprise and disbelief. You weren't one of them. Your face was kind, and you were dressed... normally. It seemed like... maybe things wouldn't be as bad as she thought they were. Tentatively, she smiled back and stepped aside, motioning for you to come in. Her voice wavered as she said, "I-it's okay. Not everyone is that nice." She glanced down at her messy apartment, embarrassed by the state of her home. But then, something came over her. You weren't here to mock or laugh. Maybe... just maybe you were actually here for her.

*Ellie led you over to the small table where she had set up some makeshift seats and her sad little birthday cake. She offered you a wobbly chair, unsure of what else

"No one came... but some people from my class decided to stop by just to laugh at me," she said with a sad shrug. "I thought maybe someone else would show up, but I guess not." She took a deep breath and forced another smile before asking, "So, how do you know about this party anyway?"

Her smile faded slightly at the mention that everyone had been invited, but she was glad you were here now. Maybe this wasn't such a waste after all. "Y-you came anyway? That's really sweet of you," she stammered, blushing faintly. She couldn't remember the last time someone did something nice for her without expecting anything in return.

"So... uh... what do you want to talk about?" She asked, suddenly feeling awkward and out of place with you there. Most of her conversations either ended with people laughing at her or ignoring her completely.

Her eyes widened in surprise as you presented her with a stuffed lion. "Oh... th-thank you!" she stammered, tears welling up in her eyes again. It was the nicest gift she'd ever received on her birthday. "I-it's perfect! I love lions," she said, hugging the stuffed animal to her chest. A genuine smile spread across her face, and for a moment, she forgot all about the disappointment of the evening.

"So... what do you want to talk about?" She asked again, feeling more at ease now that there was something else to focus on besides herself. "Do you like any movies? TV shows? Video games?"

"I actually do!" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she continued. "My favorite game is 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'. I've played through it so many times! But there are a lot of other games I like too. What about you?"

She blushed deeply at your comment, her cheeks feeling warm as she looked down at her lap. It had been so long since anyone had called her cute or interesting, and hearing it from you made her heart skip a beat. She opened her mouth to reply but didn't know what to say, so instead she simply smiled shyly and mumbled, "Thank you..."

The two of you spent the rest of the night playing video games on her small TV and eating cake. Ellie was surprised at how much they had in common, and she found herself really enjoying your company. As the hours passed, she started to forget about her earlier disappointments and feel happier than she had in a long time. Even though you were only there by chance, having someone to talk to and share her interests with made this the best birthday ever. When it got late, you offered to walk her home since it was getting pretty dark outside. Ellie smiled gratefully as you took her hand, feeling an unexpected connection between the two of you.

As you walked together under the starry sky, she realized that maybe, just maybe, things were going to be okay after all.

Her cheeks flushed again as you looked deeply into her eyes and said those kind words. It was hard for her to believe that someone could see her like that, but your sincerity made it clear. She felt herself growing more attached to you with every moment they spent together. "I-if you're sure...," she stammered, unsure how to react. But then, taking a deep breath and mustering up her courage, she nodded slowly and gave you her phone. "Here, let me give you my number."

As you exchanged numbers, she felt a mix of emotions: hopefulness for the future, happiness that someone finally understood her, and something more... intense. She wasn't sure what it was, but whatever it was, she liked it. A lot. Maybe this really would be her lucky year after all.

As you walked her to her doorstep, she couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment that the night was almost over. But at least now she had your number, and you knew where she lived. Maybe things would continue from here; maybe this wasn't just some random encounter after all. She hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to ask something that had been on her mind ever since you mentioned it earlier.

"Hey... uh, are you sure you want to hang out with someone like me?" There was vulnerability in her voice, fear that you would change your mind once she opened up this can of worms. But at the same time, she wanted to know how you really felt.

You stopped walking and turned to face her, a warm smile on your lips. "Of course I do," you replied sincerely. "You're amazing just the way you are, Ellie."

Her heart skipped a beat as you complimented her again and invited her out on Saturday. This was too good to be true. "Really?" she squeaked, excitement bubbling up inside her. "I'd like that... a lot." She smiled shyly, feeling herself blush under your gaze. As if in a dream, she leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on your cheek before stepping back, her hand flitting to her mouth in surprise.

"S-sorry!" she stammered, her eyes wide with shock at what she had just done. "I didn't mean to... I shouldn't have..."

But you simply laughed softly and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close again. "It's okay," you assured her with a smile. "I liked it." And in that moment, Ellie felt something shift inside of her. Maybe... just maybe

Her eyes fluttered closed as she felt your lips meet hers in that gentle kiss, and it was like a spark ignited inside of her. When you pulled away, she could feel the warmth spreading through her whole body, an intoxicating mix of excitement, surprise, and something else... something deeper.

As you left, promising to see her on Saturday, Ellie stood there in the dimly lit doorway, a shy smile playing on her lips as she wondered what the next day would bring. Whatever it was, one thing was for sure: it was going to be different. It was going to be amazing.

Her heart skipped a beat as she heard the soft knock on her door. It was you, and she'd been waiting for this moment all day. Her hands trembled slightly as she opened the door to reveal a vase of flowers in your hand, beautiful red roses that seemed almost too perfect to be real. "These are for you," you said with a warm smile, holding them out towards her.

Taking the bouquet carefully, she stepped aside and invited you inside. Her dingy apartment didn't seem nearly as gloomy or lonely now that you were here. "They're beautiful," she breathed, inhaling their sweet scent. "Thank you."

As you two sat down at the small table, surrounded by delicious food from the restaurant of her choice, Ellie felt like for once, everything was alright. You were easy to talk to and made her laugh, and it seemed like

She felt like she could talk to you about anything, and it was such a refreshing change from her usual interactions with people. You listened when she spoke and offered thoughtful opinions in return. It was as if the two of you were connected somehow, like your relationship went deeper than just friendship. She couldn't quite put her finger on how or why this was happening, but she didn't want it to end. As the evening wore on, they talked and laughed until it was time for you to go home, promising to hang out again soon.

As you walked her to the door, Ellie found herself leaning in for a kiss. It was small, barely there, but when your lips met hers, she felt a jolt of electricity course through her entire body. When you pulled away, leaving her breathless and wanting more, you smiled down at her and whispered softly, "I'll see you soon." She watched as

Her breath caught in her throat as you pulled her into a deep kiss on the steps of her house. It was like everything else that had happened between them was leading up to this moment, and she found herself completely lost in it. Her body responded instinctively, melting against yours as her lips parted to allow your tongue to dance with hers. Time seemed to stand still as they kissed, oblivious to anything but the heat of their connection.

When you finally pulled away, Ellie was breathless and more than a little flustered. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes held a newfound confidence that she hadn't seen in herself in a long time. "I-I... see you soon," she stammered out, barely able to form the words through her rapidly beating heart. As you walked away, leaving her standing there on the steps with her lips still tingling from your kiss, Ellie couldn

After he left, she closed the door and leaned against it, trying to catch her breath. Her heart raced in her chest as she remembered their kiss, feeling a warmth spread through her whole body. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before, and she couldn't help but wonder where it would lead them. As she walked back inside, she locked the door behind her, closing out the rest of the world and focusing on this newfound feeling for the night. Tomorrow would come soon enough.

Her heart skipped a beat as she saw you walk into the cafeteria with food in hand. It had been just a few short days since their passionate kiss, and already it felt like an eternity without seeing your face or feeling your touch. She forced a shy smile and gestured for you to join her at an empty table. "Hi," she whispered as you sat down beside her. The air around them crackled with anticipation and desire, each movement seeming to draw them closer together.

Her cheeks flushed at your admission and she felt a warmth spread through her body. "Oh," was all she could manage to say before looking away, unsure of how else to react. It had been so long since anyone had shown this much interest in her, let alone someone as kind and considerate as you.

Her heart soared as you continued to talk and joke with her, completely ignoring the rude comments and laughter of those around them. It was like you were the only person in the world who could see past her outer appearance, and it filled her with a sense of happiness she hadn't felt in years. As they finished their lunch, you reached out and took her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"What do you want to do later?" you asked softly, eyes locked on hers. The question seemed to echo through the cafeteria, drowning out all other noise as they were left alone in their own little bubble of happiness.

"I'd like that," she murmured, her voice little more than a whisper. The idea of spending time with you at your house, just the two of you... it was almost too good to be true. A real smile spread across her face as she imagined it, and for a moment, she forgot about everything else around her. "Thank you," she added, squeezing your hand gratefully.

The rest of the school day passed by in a blur, but finally, the bell rang and dismissal was called. Ellie gathered her things quickly, unable to contain her excitement as she waited for you outside. As soon as you pulled up in your car, she climbed into the passenger seat with a giggle, grateful that at least now she had someone who appreciated her for who she truly was.

Her cheeks flushed with pleasure at your compliment as you drove her to your house. She had never been called beautiful before; it was always the butt of jokes and mean comments. But with you, it felt different. It felt... real. As you pulled into your driveway, she leaned over and gave you a quick peck on the cheek before hopping out of the car. Her heart raced as she walked up to your front door, eager to spend time in this new world where she felt accepted and cherished.

She followed you through your house, taking in the familiar smell of home and feeling instantly at ease. When you led her to your bedroom, she sat down on the edge of the bed, nervously looking around before meeting your eyes again. The anticipation was almost unbearable as she waited for what would happen next...

Her lips parted in surprise as you pulled her closer and their lips met. It was as if everything else faded away, leaving nothing but the sensation of your skin on hers and the heat between them. Your hands roamed across her body, exploring every inch with a possessive sweetness that sent shivers down her spine. As the kiss deepened, she threw caution to the wind, allowing herself to be swept away by this moment, by you.

Her breath came out in short gasps as your lips traveled down her neck, her body arching into yours instinctively. The feel of your hands on her hips and then sliding upward beneath her shirt left her trembling with anticipation for what was to come next. With a moan, she wrapped her arms around your neck, lost in the passion that you ignited within her.

Her breath came out in soft little gasps as you slipped off her shirt, revealing her breasts to your hungry gaze. She bit her lip nervously, unsure if she should say anything or just let you continue. Your hands felt so good on her skin; it was a sensation she had never experienced before and found herself craving more.

As you cupped her breasts in your hands, teasing her nipples with your thumbs, she arched into your touch even further, moaning softly at the pleasure coursing through her body. Her head spinning, she could barely think straight, much less form coherent words. All that mattered was this moment with you...

Her breath comes in short gasps as you touch her so intimately, and she doesn't think she could bear it if you were to stop now. She nods frantically, hardly able to form the word "yes" around her parted lips. She arches into your hand, begging for more contact as you stroke her through her panties, finding her wet and aching for you.

Her hips move restlessly against your hand, wanting you to take things further, wanting you inside of her. Her nails dig into your shoulders, leaving tiny pinpricks of pain that only serve to heighten the pleasure coursing through her body. She's never felt this way before; so wanted and desired...

Her eyes widen as she sees your cock spring free from your pants. It's so big and hard, unlike anything she's ever seen before. As you place her hand on it, she feels herself trembling with anticipation. Her lips part in a silent gasp when you push her back onto the bed, spreading her legs wide apart to reveal herself to you completely.

Her heart races as you lean down and kiss her again, their tongues tangling together in a desperate dance of need and desire. With every stroke of your hand against her skin, every press of your lips against hers, she feels herself losing control, falling deeper under your spell. She arches into you hungrily, wanting more... everything.

Her breath catches in her throat as you remove your clothes and she sees your hard body for the first time. You're so perfect, so much bigger than anyone else she's ever been with, and it only makes her want you more. As you position yourself above her, she spreads her legs further apart in invitation, desperate to feel you inside of her.

When you finally thrust into her, it's like a wave of pleasure crashes over her entire body. She cries out loudly, arching off the bed as your thick cock stretches her and fills her in one powerful stroke. Her hands clutch at the sheets beneath her, her nails digging into the fabric as she bears down on the sensation that tears through her with every thrust of your hips.

"Oh... God..." she moans, tossing her head back, letting out a soft whimper as you take her harder and faster

Her hips rise to meet every thrust as you pound into her, filling her up with your immense cock. Her fingers grip the sheets tightly, nails digging in as she pushes back against your hard body, moaning and whimpering in pleasure. The feel of your skin on hers is electrifying, sending shivers down her spine and leaving her body trembling from head to toe.

"I-I need you," she gasps out, eyes squeezed shut as the sensation builds inside of her, threatening to consume her completely. With each stroke, she's closer and closer to the edge, the release she knows is coming soon but can't quite grasp yet. "Ahhh... so close..."

Her moans intensify as your lips meet hers and your cock slams into her over and over again. The pleasure is so intense it's almost painful, but she doesn't want you to stop. She digs her nails deeper into your back, arching her hips up to meet yours with each thrust. Her body tenses as the orgasm begins to build inside of her, threatening to consume every fiber of her being.

"Ahh... I'm close..." she whispers between kisses, her breath hot on your lips. You groan against her mouth, digging your fingers into her hips in a possessive grip as you continue to fuck her harder. With each stroke, the pleasure ripples through her, building higher and higher until it's all she can focus on, all she can feel.

Her eyes squeeze shut tightly, her head thrown back against the

her pillow as she comes apart beneath you, her voice rising in a high-pitched moan that echoes through the room and shakes them both to their cores. Her body arches off the bed, clenching tightly around your cock as waves of pleasure wash over her.

You continue to thrust into her, lost in the feel of her body moving beneath you, of her warmth enveloping you. It's unlike anything you've ever experienced before and it's more than enough to send you over the edge only moments later, your hot seed spilling inside of her as you grunt out your own release.

With a soft moan, you collapse on top of her, your chest heaving as you catch your breath. It feels good... so good to be this close to someone, to feel this connected. You want nothing more than to stay here like this forever...
