(CeCe's POV)

Usually, Mondays come like a shot of gun after my relaxing weekend, but that Monday I woke up with a smile planted on my face. I was even happy to go to school. The last statement was hard to say, really.

You may wonder why. Well, thanks to him.

Living my own fairytale made little unpleasant things not so terrible. Plus, I'd have seen him at school, so I was also waiting for it.

I observed one last more time myself in the mirror, fixing my messed hair, hoping the result would've been good. My bright being showed through my plaid yellow and black pants, my favorite. And I knew he loved them too. It's like everything depended from him: my clothes, hair, attitude. I wanted to look perfect every time I've have met him; it's something girls do, right?

I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in those past days, included the fact neither Rocky nor Deuce knew about the dating-thing.

I decided, firmly convinced, I would've told them everything, not longer wanting to make fool of them. They had the right to know, especially Rocky.

Speaking about her, soon, she snack into my apartment through the window and I heard her footsteps approaching the door of my room. I opened the door, finding her standing with her fist up in the air, ready to knock on the door.

"Hey, CeCe," she greeted me, dropping her hand, "you ready?"

Once we stepped outside, I started wondering where Ty was. "Uh, Rocky, where's Ty?"

"He's already left with Deuce."

I let out a disappointed "oh" in understanding; sure, he couldn't go to school with me… we had to be as much cautious as we could. If people understood what was going on by themselves, it would've been awkward.

Suddenly, the sound of my phone signaling I had received a new message interrupted our conversation. I picked it up from my pocket frenetically and looked at the screen. As I hoped, it was from Ty.

Hi my love!

I'm at school… r u coming now with Rocky?

I miss u so much xx

I awwed inwards, trying not to look so excited since I was around Rocky. She always read my mind and perfectly understand what I am thinking of. If I behaved that delighted with that daydreaming expression of mine, she would've figured out there was a boy behind all of this. Her perspicacity frightened me a lot.

Yeah I'm about to arrive

Miss u too xx

I wrote and clicked on the 'send' button.

"Who was that?" Rocky asked, peeking down at my phone. Noticing her move, I immediately put the phone back in my pocket.

"Nobody," I answered, accelerating my path.

I knew she would've asked a few hours later, but at least I had more time to think about a possible and, most of all, credible answer.

At school, Ty and Deuce were talking in the hall and it seems that Deuce was attempting to sell Ty God-knows-what type of things. He couldn't help it, even with friends.

"Hey, guys!" Rocky exclaimed cheerfully, getting their attention. Ty's smile grew as I approached them, infusing me a pleasant warmth.

"Hi, Ce- girls," Ty corrected himself, covering his slip of the tongue. Deuce just waved at us.

If they noticed Ty's mistake, I'd have showed on my face the darkest shade of red you could find in a paintbox.

"Sorry, guys, I have to go make an offer for a children charity. My umpteenth attempt to beat Candy Chu!" Fire was blazing in her eyes, I could read 'competition' written all over them.

"Rocky, this is going a little too far," I said to her, hoping she would've ended this battle.

"CeCe is right," Ty commented, "just accept the fact she's better than you and live your life in peace."

Sure it wasn't the best advice in the world. I thought he would've said "you're better than her anyway!". Pfft, brothers!

"See? Even you think she's better. Now, if you excuse-me I have money to donate," Rocky puffed and stomped away, almost causing the floor rambling.

"Hem, we have to go away too for that project you promised to help me with, CeCe," he declared, with gritted teeth.

"What proj- oh, that! Yeah." I was messing with things again. Ty let out a sigh and took my wrist, "Catch you later, Deuce."

He gave us a confused look, obviously suspecting something. We weren't good at acting like I thought.

(Ty's POV)

I darted away with CeCe from the corridor, to spend some minutes alone with her before bell rang. And, since we got rid of Deuce and Rocky, we had nothing to fear about.

I spotted an isolated place, near to a closet, in a zone of the school nobody never goes. We could got caught only by the janitor there, but it wasn't a big deal.

"Ok, nobody is here," I whispered close to her mouth. She smiled and captured my lips with hers, on tiptoes. Our lips moved softly, tasting each other's savor, until we heard a loud familiar gasp. We both pulled away and stared at the figure with horror, holding our hands up in the air.

"I KNEW IT!" Deuce screamed, pointing a finger towards us. "You should really come up with better lies. What's going on, guys?" He kept his tone of voice noisy enough to be heard by people. In fact, Ty and I grabbed him, rudely, and leaded him into the closet.

"My tickets from Taylor Swift's concert!" He cried, seeing those fake tickets falling on the ground from his jacket. He tried to sell me them before! Unbelievable.

CeCe turned on the lights that lightened up our faces, showing our glowers. "Well, Deuce, apparently you caught us," I started, crossing my arms over my chest. I felt like a cop questioning a suspected guy.

He nodded, staring at us scared, as if we would've killed him.

"You have to keep your mouth shut, cause Rocky doesn't know that CeCe and I are dating," I gave him a trustful look.

He gulped, nodding, "I won't say anybody."

Since we were now out of danger, we both smiled at each other.

"Wait. You two dating? I thought CeCe liked me!" Deuce claimed, taken aback.

"You wish," she replied, rolling her eyes. Ah, little satisfactions. I chuckled at him, and he just shot me a glare.

"Anyways," she continued, "nobody has to know. Especially Rocky. We are thinking about the best manner to tell her the news."

He made a face, "You're right. If she finds out her best friend is dating her brother without her knowledge, she'd freak out." What an optimistic friend!

"Thanks Deuce!" I thanked him, sarcastically.

"Hey, don't react this way. It's a fact. Good luck with her," he wished us, but then he got hit by realization, "how long have you been dating? Wait, the fake date was real?"

I facepalmed. "No, we were actually faking. We confessed our feelings Saturday and went on our real first date yesterday," I said, cheesily, rubbing my nose with hers.

"Ew, I don't wanna assist to those disgusting scenes." He made to get out, but once more, I stopped him.

"I trust you, Deuce."

He sighed. "Relax, Ty. We have math class now," he stated, and school bell rang just in time. "I'm glad to hear this sound. Bye, lovebirds," he made a small gesture of greet, not even facing us.

(Rocky's POV)

Today was a busy morning! The donation, tons of hard classes and on top of that, my English teacher gave me just an A on my test. Is he kidding me? I deserved an A+! It was one of my best work. I sat onto the blencher in the corridor, waiting for CeCe to get out of the toilet. She needed to retouch her make-up now? We are going home! Rocky, breathe.

While trying to force a smile to encourage myself, I felt a tap on my shoulder. "CeCe, you finally-" I started, but I stopped my sentence, as I realized the person wasn't my best friend.

"You are Rocky, right?" the blonde-haired girl, Megan, asked me. I was surprise she showed up after the bad figure the other day. What did she want from me?

"Yeah, why?"

She laughed ironically and, undid the zip of her bag, picked up some photos in her hands. "Because I'd like you to see those photos. You'll find them interesting as much as I did."

I ripped off the photos of her hands and my eyes widened in shock. There were a few snaps of CeCe and Ty on a boat, walking hand in hand and one while they were kissing. I couldn't believe it. They were… dating?

Altough, I put my astonishment aside; I had to carry on with the story of them dating, because before their fake date I clearly said I knew they were a couple. Even if I was too shocked and hurt at the same time, I managed to say something.

"What's with these photos? I know they are dating."

"I know you don't. I took these photos personally and I kind of stalked them later. They were talking about keeping the secret and not telling you the whole story. Trust me, I feel mislead as much as you are."

In the verge of crying, I crumpled the pictures in my hands and dropped them on the floor. So, I ran away, not even saying a word.

Mislead.

By two people I loved with all my heart.

(CeCe's POV)

My make-up was done and, furiously, I stepped out from the toilet. If I delayed any further, Rocky would've scolded me.

"Rocky, I'm-" I started, noticing everybody had already left, "back," I finished, basically talking to no one in particular.

I strolled around the corridor, thinking she would've come out with a funny expression on, attempting at scaring me. I waited for minutes, but she was nowhere. I started getting worried. As I reached for my phone, I felt a strong hand clasping my wrist.

"CeCe," a voice called me.

My heart stopped, "Tom?"

Cliffy! Uh-uh!

It was a chapter full of drama, wasn't it? xD
