Depth Perception

MC is shallow, vain, everything-revolves-around-me, stereotypical beautiful/handsome Queen Cheerleader/King Jock (preferably a senior, otherwise they might be too young for this to work). Or so it seems. In fact MC runs their own website/blog/DeviantArt profile/whatever, and pours out their feelings to the Interwebs, with poetry or whatever else is expressive, and has for several years. Like, gets down into the deep nitty-gritty that everyone believes they're incapable of feeling or expressing. MC grows close with one of the commenters (who's been there from the first post), like really close... And agrees to meet the Commenter, however inadvisable this may be--albeit carrying their phone with 911 dialed just in case. Safety
first, you know--trust but verify.

When MC gets to the meeting place, instead of the coffee shop they expected to find, there's an empty lot. Stepping onto it, MC is transported to a Fantasy Land of your choosing--maybe completely made up, maybe alternate magical version of their city. In Fantasy Land, there waits the Commenter, aka the Love Interest, who is some sort of higher-up who has grown very attached to MC and wants them for a mate/consort/whatever. So MC has one week to decide whether they'd like to stay in Fantasy Land forever, where they can truly be themselves, or return to Earth with the deepest facets of the personality they've struggled to hide /removed/, so they can literally be as shallow as they seem.
