My Fake Lover

.

I stepped on a nice big branch and sat down. I then lay back so now I was laying down with my legs dangling on both sides.

I put an arm over my eyes and tried to relax, but this is so uncomfortable.

It was really quiet outside except for the soft voices of people chatting closer to the school.

“What are you doing up there?” An unexpected deep voice asked me.

This scared the hell out of me. It scared me so bad that I screamed in a high pitch voice and slipped off the tree.

But the good thing is, I didn’t fall on the hard ground. Cause that’ll hurt like a bítch. Actually, maybe I would’ve break my neck and die. Possibly.

Instead, I fell into a pair of arms. And who’s arms? Tyler Evans. It couldn’t be someone other than him? Seriously, a school with hundreds of boys and its got to be Tyler Evans who saves my life?

I wish it would be Jeremy. So we could get lost in each others eyes and fall in love. But no. It’s not. It will never be.

Tyler was now holding be bridal style. This feels a little cliché to me. Except it’s not my true love who saves my life.

“Aren’t you going to congrats your hero?” Tyler smirked.

“Put me down, jerk!” I said as I struggled off him. He dropped me so I landed in my ass. He so did that on purpose. I stood up to glare at him, but he just shrugged.

“You may fall from the tree, but you have to fall in love with me.” Tyler smirked jokingly. Its true though, but I have to pretend to fall for him.

“That’s the cheesiest thing I’ve ever heard.”

“Thanks.”

For that, I punched him hard in the stomach.

“Shít.” He held his stomach and bent down slightly. “If you were a guy I’d-”

Tyler didn’t get to finish because I gave him another punch, but instead it was on his shoulder.

“Damn it Lexi. Your so annoying.” Tyler glared at me.

“Oh, look who’s talking.” I rolled my eyes as I picked up my bag that I put down before I went up the tree.

“A smart, sexy guy?” He asked as that smirk visited his face once again.

“One, I didn’t need an answer. Two, no. You aren’t sexy or smart!” I yelled as I put on my back pack over one shoulder.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, you look like a pig, and I’m smarter than you.” Tyler smirked.

“That’s not even good.” I said.

“Like you could do better.” He scoffed.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“Roses are red, violets are blue, God made us all beautiful, what the hell happen to you?” I said with a smirk, knowing mine was way better than his stupid one.

“Roses are red, violets are black, why is your chest, as flat as my back?” Tyler crossed his hands over his chest.

“Ah…” Damn it. I got nothing.

“What?” Tyler asked. “Cat got your tongue?”

I glared at him and remembered something.

I bítch slapped him across the face.

Tyler pressed his hand over the cheek I slapped. “What the fu-” Before Tyler could finish the five minute warning bell rang cutting him off. “What was that for!?” He yelled with his death glare.

“For spreading the news about us dating when I completely didn’t want to do it.” I said and continued walking into the school.

“Bítch!” He called out.

“Jerk!” I called back to him with a smirk. Ha, I finally got on his nerves.

“Oh my gosh I hate Mr. Walker.” Courtney said as we left the classroom.

“I know right. He’s always like, ‘don’t talk! I’m trying to rest’.” I mocked him in an old mans voice.

Courtney laughed and shook her head disapprovingly. “What kind of teacher sleeps while he needs to teach?”

“Hey Lexi.” A girl from one of my classes came up to me. I think her name was Jenny. “I’m still shocked that your going out with Tyler. You guys used to hate each other.”

Does everyone in this school find it shocking that I’m ‘dating’ the oh so fabulous Tyler Evans?

“I know.” I smiled. “But we really do like each other.” That felt really weird coming out of my mouth.

“Like they always say, the ones who didn’t get a long, are the ones who really belong.” She smiled back.

I laughed awkwardly. “Yeah.” She patted my shoulder lightly, nodding. Like she was congratulating me or something.

“That was weird.” Courtney said as soon as the girl walked away, heading the other direction.

“Very.” I nodded in agreement.

Courtney and I had lunch next. Also Emily, Tyler and his friend Nick.

“So your coming to sit next to me and Tyler right? People will think it’s weird if you don’t sit next to your ‘boyfriend’. Courtney made quotation mark signs with her fingers as we entered the cafeteria.

“No. You guys are coming to sit with me.” I wasn’t going to sit with the whole soccer team. If we had to pretend to date, Tyler had to be the one who comes to me.

“Okay. I’ll go get him.” She said and walked over to where Tyler was sitting with his soccer buddies and a few cheerleaders.

This is going to be awkward.

A while later, Tyler, Courtney, and Nick were sitting with Emily and I at our lunch table. This is only temporary. I hope it ends faster than I want it too.

Tyler put a hand around my shoulder. “People are staring at you.” He whispered. “Because they’re wondering what the heck a geek is doing with the special guy like me.” When he finished his sentence, I shoved his hand away and yelled at him. I actually thought he was going to say something nice in his life. But I though wrong. He’ll never change.
