I'm a pretty sympathetic person, I'm actually able to understand the way people feel. I was not always popular or attractive and I once fell into the typical nerd stereotype. I met this girl Jenna last week at school, she had been in my class since maybe 4th grade but we only talked maybe 3 or 4 times throughout the time we've known each other.
I've seen a few of my "friends" bully her but never intervened, there's no particular target of ridicule at my High School and we've all taken our fair share of blows, right? Well one day the bullying got severe during lunch and one of the typical neanderthal "jocks" knocked her tray off the table mocking her weight (original right?). Well I stepped up to her defense only to become another target of ridicule, taking the attention of off her for the moment.
Since then I've never felt comfortable with my "friends" knowing how fickle they are and began, along with a few of my more loyal friends, sitting with Jenna. Of course because I actually care enough about another human being to step in the way of them being harmed rumors began to spread Jenna and are where dating.
Trying to be mature rather than contradicting the bullies I replied "Yeah, okay we are!" which pretty much shut them up besides a few snickers. Eventually I discovered Jenna hadn't realized I wasn't being literal, and now--according to her--we're "boyfriend" and "girlfriend." I never really spoke up about it but I don't think I can harm my reputation anymore by going along with it. Perhaps, even if the relationship is fake per say, going out for a short time might give her the confidence she needs to step out of her shell.
What should I do Newgrounds? This is her, and no I don't need you commenting on how she looks. I know she's not the prettiest girl in the world but personality--to me--is better than looks, at least she'll keep the shallow people away.
