He has his reasons, but mostly it was trust. But Marcus chooses to stay silent about who he is. April had become his best online friend and now he’s with her in person. When Marcus asked April what her fanfic name was, he realized that she was the person he’s been talking to for the past two years. He played the fake Marcus, but April saw parts of him that went deeper. He was genuinely attracted to April and asked her out on a date. When the trolls came out saying that someone like Marcus wouldn’t date her, Marcus saw it and responded. She finally shared a cosplay picture with her face on twitter.


But she was also someone who learned to not care what other people thought of her. April was insecure at times about her weight, especially because of her parents and some guys she dated. So much!

When she decides to post her latest Lavinia creation on Twitter, her photo goes viral.

Immediately.Īpril Whittier has secrets of her own. But if anyone ever found out about his online persona, he’d be fired.
