Plot summary
'''Note: This plot summary is still under construction. Several parts are incomplete or missing.'''

Laura Wilson is an ordinary girl who is in her freshman year of college. She hasn't made any friends since she was in elementary school, since she moved to a different town before she started middle school and found it hard to make friends in a new town. All Laura has had to entertain herself without any friends is a journal that she uses to write about her day, as well as stories about adventures with characters who represent her ideal vision of a friend. As Laura begins her freshman year of college, she is worried that she won't be able to make friends. (Friendship is Only a Dream)

One week after her first day of college, Laura is walking back to her dorm after coming back from a shopping trip, when she suddenly hears a voice crying for help. When she turns to the source of the voice, she just sees a dirty, damaged douche. Thinking that she was just imagining that the douche talked, she tries to walk past it, but she hears the same voice she heard earlier tell her call her a cunt for not helping them. After being shocked at what the voice said to her, she picks up the douche out of curiosity, wondering why it spoke to her. Once she gets to her dorm, she cleans up the douche and goes to sleep.

Laura is woken up by the same voice as before, and turns on the light to find out that the douche she picked up has come to life. She is shocked by the fact that the douche is actually alive and doesn't know why she is able to see him come to life...until she notices that she has a toothpick in her foot, which Douche claims is tainted with bath salts, which gave her the ability to see Douche as if he were a living thing. Laura is curious about how Douche wound up near her college, but Douche freaks out and thinks that it isn't such a good idea to tell Laura about it, because if he did, Laura might not want to trust him. Laura then explains to Douche about her past, and Douche decides to make friends with her, and promises that he will teach Laura about how to make friends.

Later in the evening, Douche musters up the courage to tell Laura that he is in love with her by writing about it in her journal. Laura sees the journal entry and is surprised to learn that Douche loves her, but is a bit nervous when she saw Douche write that he wanted to have sex with her, since she's never had sex before. Douche then seduces Laura through a song (Down to Douche).

Seeing Laura upset after she broke up with Max, Douche realizes it is the perfect time to explain to Laura about his past, since he believes that he's been treated worse than she has been. Douche tells Laura his story through a song. (When I Was Strong) After he finishes, Laura says that the story did sound familar, as she heard on the news that a Shopwells location had to be closed due to a freak accident involving the deaths of several shoppers and employees on the 4th of July, which surprises Douche, since he thought no one would care about the incident.
