Chapter 27 - Naivety in the darkweb

Ava is back at her home, where she heads to her computer - she was depressed, trying her best to cope with the predicament that Ava has with Yaren's friends. 

Her eyes were dead-fished and solemn as she looked at the computer still in her school uniform. She moved the mouse and made a thread in the deepweb's forum 

With the title, "What should I do when I am depressed" she posted in a dark web, eyes so bored - eyes so dry. 

A comment popped out to her thread, "Kill yourself," it says, but Ava did not bother listening to him

Another one was, "Have you tried antidepressant pills?" 

Ava replied to the comment, "No, but if you consider Serotonin-Stabilized pill yeah." 

"In conclusion, I took drugs." 

The same guy who commented with the subject 'antidepressant pills' answered back

"Thoughts about suicide?" 

Ava replied, "A little bit, but I don't wanna end myself just yet."

Commentor replied, "Why?" 

Ava answered back on her computer during the afternoon, "Don't know, I have been asking myself the question." 

Commentor responded, "Well, that's weird… You rarely encounter people who don't want to die just yet. I suppose there is one option to cope" 

Ava then replied, "And what is it then?" 

Commentor replied, "Tried taking drinking, and if that's not enough, go to the black market for other drugs." 

Ava replied, "I will take drinking instead." 

Commentor responded, "Problem solved."

Ava did not respond and just closed the browser before deciding to play video games for an hour. 

It was already 5 PM as Cassandra stepped into Ava's room. Cassandra asked Ava, "You don't seem to be in high spirits. What happened?" Her eyes were rather concerned while wearing an apron. 

Ava turned around and replied, "Nothing… I just don't know how do I explain myself."

Cassandra walked up to Ava, who was in the computer chair, cupping Ava's head with her hands and with coy, "Come on, tell me… What's been happening to my girl, with a smile 

Ava looked down left and answered, "I don't know." 

"I felt…. Useless, like. I don't know how to make friends." 

Cassandra's curiosity was piqued, "Friends, you say, I am sure you could make friends one way or another." 

Ava touches Cassandra's hand and says, "It's Yaren…" Cassandra caresses Ava's head again, "Hmmm, what about Yaren, Ava?" 

Ava replied with solemnness, "Mmmm, she already has new friends." 

Cassandra replied, "I see…"

"If I give you credits, would you be happy?" 

Ava looked at Cassandra and responded, "Yeah, yeah. I think I can do that," with eyes that are excited yet dangerous. 

Cassandra nodded, "Alright then," where she uncups her hands from Ava's head and walked away. 

However, as she plays a multiplayer game, she would be in a match with a group of players where they kill zombies - rarely does Ava play multiplayer. 

As she plays the game, she would hear people talking in a team of 5, it was her and some people online. 

As they kill zombies, they speak to each other with so much glee that it disturbs Ava.

Where one of them said in the team chat, 'let's go outside and drink some wine'

Ava looked at the chat and said, "Wine?! So that's how you make friends." 

Ava then went back to the thread she posted on darkweb, and asked in the thread she posted, "How do you guys make friends? Is there like a way to make friends?" 

The commentator then noticed her comment on the forum, "Ah, that's easy! Go to the bar and enjoy yourself with someone." 

Ava asked the commentator, "Seriously?" Ava's eyes were confused. 

"Could you explain?" she typed.

The commentator responded, "Wine lets your brain loose, the chemicals allow you to be dumber, and when you are dumber, you get to feel things even better." 

"Like, those endorphins injected in your frontal lobe thus allowing relaxation."

Ava verified the commentator's comment and said, "Interesting." 

"Any other tips when it comes to bars and stuff?" 

The commentator replied, "Well, if it comes to bars, however, you would need to be at least 21+." 

Ava looked at the commentor and asked, "21+ why?" 

Commentor responded, "Don't know, they don't want kids around, if you aren't however 21+ I could give you a way if you want?"

"How old are you?" the commentator asked

Ava answered, "17" 

The commentator stopped replying, not even wanting to spend time with a minor. However, Ava, in her determination, was pressed to find the crux of the matter. 

She did her terminals and found the person's email address for a few hours, she then emailed the individual, "Tell me, WojanGuan, about the wines!" 

WojanGuan replied, "What the hell, man! You went to my email demanding an explanation for drugs and bars."

"Who gave you my email address anyway?" 

Ava responded, "No one gave it to me, I just tracked you LMFAO." WojanGuan asked in the email, "Tracked? You tracked me?" 

Ava responded, "Yes, yeah, you are like in Paris or something"

WojanGuan responded, "WTF?!!!" 

"Wait…. You can hack right?" in an email

Ava typed, "Yes, I can hack. I am really good at computers." 

WojanGuan responded, "Interesting, are you that interested in taking wine?" 

Ava responded, "Yes, quite so." 

WojanGuan responded, "If you are so eager to experience the world of adults, I can get you with that. That is, you help me with something."

Ava looked at WojanGuan responded, "Sure, what's the task?" 

WojanGuan, "I have a suspicion my girlfriend is cheating on me. And I want you to find anything on her." 

Ava responded, "Cheating on you, sure, what's her name?" 

WojanGuan disclosed the name to her, where Ava gets to work. Ava fired up Open-Source intelligence and gathered information regarding the said individual. 

She even creates classic exploits that will broadcast every CCTV to the video program she's using. It can also delete itself if caught. 

Ava then deployed her AI tools to get any match regarding the girl's identity based on triangulating data. 

Before deciding to catch a picture of her from CCTV footage, and then snapping a screenshot of her with someone. 

Ava for a few hours, responded to WojanGuan, "Here, done. I managed within hours."

Where Ava did not respond back, and just did some Photoshop, only to have it printed, she began fitting the picture to an ID holder. 

Ava then sneaks to her mom's room, goes to her mom's closet, steals the medium-length skirt, and wears it in her room to look mature than she really is before heading out.
