A woman who was ghosted by a man she was talking to online discovered that he'd been sent to prison, so she did the only rational option and joined a school trip so she could meet him.
The woman shared her bizarre story on TikTok, joking that she went 'above and beyond' to get his attention when he ghosted her.

Although they'd been getting on well, all communication stopped suddenly. Not willing to let it go, she messaged his mates and was shocked to find out that they didn't know where he was either.
She eventually discovered that he was in prison, and went all out to reconnect with him, joining her school's law society, which was going on a trip to the institution, hoping she'd find him.
She shared the story with her 408,000 followers, saying: "Tell me about a time you went above and beyond, and I mean above and beyond, to get someone's attention - I'll go first.
"When I was in high school I was talking to this boy for like three months and then one day I hear nothing, like completely ghosted.

"And I'm was like, 'no baby, this isn't about to happen', so I messaged all his friends and I'm like, 'where did he go?'.
"They said the same thing surprisingly, they were like, 'I don't know, we haven't heard from him in a few days' and I was like, 'wait a minute - is this mother trucker in jail? Is he in jail?'"
"Turns out he was, and I was in high school during this time. Like, I know I'm stupid, but I heard the law club was going to take a field trip to the local county jail.

"Yes, I did exactly what you're thinking. I joined the law club, went to every single meet, participated in every single event just so at the end of the semester I could go to the local jail for on a field trip."
Jules' post, which was viewed more than 1.2m times, received a flurry of questions about how the visit went - so she posted a follow up explaining what happened on the trip.
She said: "So we get to the jail and I'm ready to see my man.
"We get inside and they're like alright we're going to separate you, one group is going to go to the women's side and the other to the man's side.

"I'm like no, and they put me on the women's side.
"I'm like, 'no - teacher listen to me, I need to go to the man's side - please don't do me like this'.
"And she's like, 'why Jules, why do you need to go the man's side'. And I'm like, 'because I just do'.
"And she's like 'first of all love we're having all the girls go with the women because we don't want overage men seeing younger girls', because it was like beyond scared straight where you went on an actual tour and they actually talk to you.

"So in the end I did all of that and I didn't even get to see him. So moral of the story, never chase a man - especially one who is in jail because you know he's no good for you, especially when you're in high school."
