My Fake Lover

.

Tyler looked at me, then at Jeremy. Then I looked at Jeremy and glared at him.

“I freaking hate him.” I mumbled. “Now I have to make him jealous.”

I turned to face Tyler and right as I turned my head, his lips crashed into mine. What the hell! Tyler’s kissing me! And I’m kissing him back! What’s scarier is that I actually enjoy it!!

Tyler’s hand was on my lower back and the other holding my face gently.

The kiss didn’t last long. Tyler was the one to pull away and I suddenly felt cold. When he was kissing me it was so warm and I felt tingles where his hand lay on my back.

I suddenly realized what I was doing and mentally slapped myself. What had gotten into me?

Stupid teenage hormones! I can’t believe I let him kiss me! I can’t believe I said those things. I can’t believe it actually happened. Oh my god. What will Courtney think? She likdes Tyler.

Still in shock, touching my small tingly lips, I looked up at Tyler, but he wasn’t looking at me. He was smirking evilly at Jeremy. Just then the bell rang and I rushed to my first period class.

I was going to yell at him but I realized everyone was around us. The whole school needs to see that we’re a couple. But somehow, we need to break things off. But when? The only boyfriend I had was Jeremy and we only lasted a month.

••••••••••

When fourth period ended, it was time to go to lunch. I walked slowly down the hallways staring at, well nothing at all. Too much was in my mind.

That stupid asshole just had to kiss me! Right in front of his biggest fan! Courtney loves Tyler. I just know it by the way she looks at him and talks to him.

And I also have to face Brooke. The one who thinks she deserves everything she wants. Know one gets what they want all the time.

I want my life to be normal and not have so much drama. But no, I don’t have that.

“Lexi, you ugly bitch!”

Speak of the devil.

“Oh, hi Brooke.” I say in a fake sweet voice. “I’m ugly? Good. I was trying to look like you today.” I turned around and continued walking towards the cafeteria, but wanted to stop at my locker first. So I turned the corner and made my was over there, with Brooke still following close behind me, with her annoying heels clanking the floor.

“Maybe you should stay away from Tyler. He’s too good for you.” Brooke said, putting a hand on her waist.

Damn, that kiss really got her mad, didn’t it?

I turned around and crossed my hands over my chest. ” Frankensteins too good for you, honey. Why don’t you just leave me alone?!” I said and walked away, ignoring all the odd looks from people around the halls. I heard Brooke gasp in a shock, having nothing also to say back.

I spotted Tyler leaning on my locker casually with his hand folded across his chest. When he saw me he pushed himself off the locker and took a step away.

“Why the hell did you kiss me?” I hissed. I didn’t want anyone to hear me.

“Cause Jeremy was looking at you like you belonged to him. It’s part of the-”

“I understood that.” I said.

“Then why are you so mad?” He asked.

“Cause Courtney-” I immediately stopped myself.

“What about Courtney?”

“Never mind.” I waved him off. He stood behind me, waiting for me to finish going through my locker. Then we made our way to lunch.

“So, am I a good kisser or what?”

I clicked my tongue and shook my head. “Or what.” I snorted a laugh, making Tyler roll his eyes.

But of course he was a good kisser! I wasn’t going to admit it though.

When I got to the cafeteria, I spotted Courtney sitting at our usual spot, phone in hand. Geez, I really felt bad. She’s watching her long time crush and her long time best friend practically as a couple. And she even saw us share a kiss. That must really look terrible.

I walked towards Courtney, leaving Tyler. When she saw me, she got up and started to walk away. I walked faster towards her and grabbed her wrist. I pulled her so she was facing me.

“Court, I need to talk to you.” I said.

“What?” She said looking annoyed.

“Can we go to the library or something?” I asked.

“Whatever.” She shrugged, but she would make eye contact with me.

When we got to the library, we sat down on one of the couches they had there.

“Courtney I promise you that it meant nothing. Tyler doesn’t like me. We hate each other. He was just trying to get back at Jeremy.” I said in one breath.

Court nodded.

“And to say that I liked it is a lie.”

Yeah, because you loved it. “You just have to know that we’re fake dating. Things like that need to happen.”

Courtney looked at me for a bit before finally nodding.

“So you understand?”

She nodded again.

“You mad at me?”

“No.” She smiled, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Well that was quick. She must really really love him if it was that easy to forgive.

“Okay then. Since that’s good, I still have to get Tyler to like you. Any ideas?”

“No. It feels kinda weird doing this.”

“But you have to work for what you want sometimes.” I shrugged.

“It feels like we’re forcing him.” She looked unsure.

“Well I’m forcing him, you just wait for him to come to you.” I smiled, as I gently patted her arm in comfort.

She nodded and I walked back to the cafeteria with Courtney beside me. I’m glad I’m forgiven. Phew. That was done and now I have to get bítchy Brooke off my back.

“I’m going to skip food today.” I sat down next to Tyler and Courtney sat in front of him, next to Nick.

“Why?” Nick asked.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“My stomach hurts.” I lied.

“Tomorrow after school, we’re working on the project that’s due in less than two weeks.” I tell Tyler. “And I’m coming over your house so you don’t have any excuses to leave.”

“Whatever.” Tyler rolled his eyes, obviously annoyed. He’s always like that when we have something to do together. Rude bastard
