My Fake Lover

.

“Get you filthy hands off me!” I yelled. And as soon as I finished, I realized my mistake because Brooke had just come up to us.

Oh no…

“Ha ha, um…” I laughed pathetically and grabbed his hand and put it over my shoulder. “Because you need to cuddle more… closer?” I couldn’t find the right words to say. Why did he have to be my fake boyfriend?

Brooke looked at me as if I was crazy, but shook her head and sent a flirtatious smile towards Tyler. “Hey Tyler.” Brooke came by his other side and sat down.

“Hey.” Tyler replied with a board tone. He didn’t even spare a glance at her. He looked board this whole lunch period ever since he came to sit by me, besides that little comment he shared.

This all feels so awkward.

“What are you doing tonight?” She said, resting her arm on his shoulder.

“Excuse me?” Emily said coldly with a tough act. “Don’t you have a boyfriend?”

Brooke looked confused for a second, but it changed to a completely fake laugh. “That was never serious.” She said and flipped her bleached blonde hair behind her shoulder.

I knew it was never serious. Then why did Jeremy break up with me?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You know Lexi and Tyler are a thing now, right?” Emily raised her eyebrows.

I opened my mouth to speak but Brooke beat me to it. “I know. But I never really believed any of it.” She said glaring at me. “Why would Tyler go out with someone like her ?” Okay, ouch. “I mean look at her, she’s not even pretty.” Brooke finished.

Double ouch.

“Well it’s as real as it’ll ever be. Right Lexi-poo?” Tyler squeezed my cheeks in a cute manner.

“That’s right Ty.” I said like I was talking to a baby.

If looks could kill. I’d be dead right now. And if life was a cartoon, there would be steam coming out of Brooke’s ears.

“I’m not buying anything. Don’t worry Lexi or whatever the heck your name is. I’ll make sure to ruin your life!” Brooke got up from her chair, walking slowly towards me. “And I’ll prove that you both aren’t actually dating now! Cause how can someone actually believe this? You guys are supposed to hate each other!’ Brooke yelled, then stormed away. Is it just me, or does this really feel like one of those dumb chick flicks.

“Damn.” Nick said. “What’s her problem?”

We all started laughing at how Brooke acted. But this was actually serious. Brooke could actually ruin everything.

“Lexi-poo?” I raised my eyebrows at Tyler. “Really?”

“What? You want me to call you sexy Lexi?” Tyler asked with his full on signature smirk.

“Oh my gosh.” Courtney started to laugh.

“Douchebag.” I mumbled.

“Just for you.” Tyler said. “Plus, I’m only doing this to get back at Jeremy for what he did.”

“What did he do?” Nick asked before I got the chance.

“It’s none of your business.” Emily slapped him arm lightly. They always act like a couple around each other. There’s always fights and cute moments. They really should go out sometime.

“What did he do?” I asked Tyler since he wasn’t answering Nick.

“Oh honey, do you really need to know?” Tyler teased.

And when he said ‘honey’, I felt

Courtney twitch beside me.

Really? She really needs to react? I got to start on the whole get-Tyler-to-like-Courtney plan.

Lexi’s POV:

.

“Lexi!” I heard Tyler call my name on my way to the library. I decided to go to the library and study instead of going to lunch today.

I’m such a nerd, I swear.

I tried to ignore Tyler and continue walking.

“Lexi!” He called out again. The hallways were crowded so it wasn’t easy for him to get to me.

“Lexi.” This time he grabbed my wrist and turned me around to face him.

Damn it. I’m going just goning to stuff socks in his mouth to get him to shut the hell up.

“What?” I asked impatiently.

I wasn’t it the mood for anything right now. I was so tired and I hated lying to the whole entire school.

Everything travels fast around this school.

One person hears about it, everyone knows about it. Including Jeremy. It would be so embarrassing for him to find out that we aren’t actually dating.

“What the hell? Why were you ignoring me?” Tyler asked, obviously pissed.

“Why would I listen to you?” I said and pulled my hand away from his, making my way to the library again, with Tyler following close beside me.

“Maybe because your supposed to pretend to be my girlfriend? And your social life will practically die if everyone thinks your a big fat liar.” Tyler ranted as I made it to the library. “This isn’t easy for me either.” He added.

I turned around and stepped on his feet.

“What the hell Lexi!” Tyler yelled before the old library teacher shushed him.

“I’m not the only one lying .” I said.

“Well everyone likes me, unlike you. I’m the star soccer player in the team and-”

“Go to hell.” I said before he could finish.

All he did is glare at me.

“Aww.” Brooke came by us and Tyler’s glare disappeared immediately. “Is this a couple fight or one of your

regular hating each other fights? ” Brooke asked as she glared at me.

I rolled my eyes as I took a seat at one of the tables, so I could be left alone to study. Or so I wanted to…

Brooke turned and walked closer to Tyler with a flirty smile.

“Oh, I’m just mad at Lexi for telling all her friends that we had our good time in bed last night.” Tyler said, probably just to get me mad.

He’s not even the type of person who would get mad at that!

My face heated up in embarrassment and I held the urge to smack his face.

Brooke crossed her arms over her chest with her death glare. She really needs to get over Tyler. He’s a freaking playboy. She had her time with him.

“Oh, and I was just telling Tyler how disgusting it was. His legs are like freaking big foot. He also needs to shave.” I said with a fake smile.

Tyler didn’t look embarrassed, but I could tell there was anger in his eyes through his fake smile looking over at Brooke.

“What the heck? You need to stop your little games! Your not together! It’s like impossible for
