Chapter 11: Fake Dating
He Could Be The One
"H-how could he do t-this to me?" I said as I cleaned my nose with a tissue. I had brutally survived a day, seeing him and Nicole. Speaking of Nicole, who does she think she is? What did I ever do to her? Me and Trish were nice to her on her first day, you know being good friends, and then the next thing you know she stabs me in the back and dates the guy I practically love. At the end of the school day Trish took me home and we hung out, eating ice cream, watching chick flicks, and listening to music. She eventually went home, suspecting I would be okay. So now I'm asking myself a simple question, how could he do this to me?
Now I know how those girls in chick flicks feel when the guy they like breaks their heart right in front of them…literally. My tears soaked my pillow and my covers were all over the place. The song 'Nobody's Perfect' by Hannah Montana (a.k.a Miley Cyrus) was playing. Her voice sang the lyrics as it filled my room.
"Nobody's Perfect."
"Liar!" I argued.
"Nobody's Perfect."
"I am!" Forget Hannah Montana. Let's listen to some Selena Gomez.
"Who says you're not perfect?"
"Hannah Montana." I said as I broke down in tears. I wanted to rip his heart out of his chest so he knows what it feels like. Curse that guy. He's nothing but a self-centered, heart breaker, son of a cookie jerk. I can't believe I ever liked him. His words echoed in my head.
"Can we forget about the kiss?"
"We can still be friends."
We can still be friends my ass. My phone rang loudly on my nightstand. My hand reached over to grab it as I read the caller ID. Ethan. How did he get my number, I never gave it to him. I pressed the answer button and put the phone on my ear.
"Hello."
"Hey Ally I heard what happened."
"Oh, yeah uh, how did you uh, find out?" I asked, my voice cracking.
"Trish told me, and she also gave me your number." He said with a soft voice.
"Oh yeah, so anything you need?"
He sighed. "Well, I have an idea."
I sat up on my bed. "What do you mean?"
"Well, me and Trish were talking and we think that it would be a great idea if you and me…fake date."
I stayed silent for a couple of seconds. Him and me, fake dating. Why? Bring in more drama in my life. Now why the hell would I do that. I mean just think about it, fake dating Ethan, how would that turn out-
"Ally, are you still there?"
"Hu? Oh yeah still here uh, just on question, why do we have to fake date?"
"Well duh, to make Austin jealous and to make him feel bad for what he did to you."
I sighed. "I'm not so sure about this." I admitted.
"Oh come on Ally, this would be great."
"But what about our parents, they already think we hate each other."
"You can say to your parents that you decided to give me a second chance, and I'll tell my parents the same thing." He explained. Should I consider? What if it backfires? What if we end up having feelings for each other? What if-
"It won't and we're not."
I coughed awkward. "Um, did I-"
"-Say that out loud? Yes you did, and don't worry I only like you as a friend."
"Same here."
He paused. "So, you in for it?"
This could screw up my life even more than it is or I could end up with the guy I like.
"I'm in."
"Alright, plan M.A.J is a go." Trish said with determination on her voice.
This morning I woke up ready to face the guy who took my first kiss and crushed my heart, but then I remembered the whole make Austin jealous thing, which stands for M.A.J if you didn't catch that. Ethan and I were in the schools parking lot ready to begin operation M.A.J.
I was so nervous I almost forgot my name. What if Ethan has to kiss me? I mean it wouldn't be a bad thing, you know to make it look like we're dating, but Ethan is my friend and I don't want to make things awkward by just one kiss. And what if Austin doesn't buy it? He'll realize it's all a fluke and he'll probably be angry, I don't want that happening. The details still aren't fully ready yet, but they're getting there.
Trish made us wear matching clothes. Ethan is wearing a dark blue v-neck shirt, white skinny jeans, and black converse. Where as I am wearing a simple dark blue dress, black flats, and a white cardigan. In all honesty I think we looked good, I just hope that people buy it, especially Austin.
"What's M.A.J mean?" Ethan asked.
Trish sighed and gave him a look. "Don't you remember we discussed it last night, operation M.A.J as in operation Make Austin Jealous." She said in a duh tone.
"Oh yeah, now I remember." I playfully scoffed and looked at Trish. She gave me a reassuring smile and nodded at me. "Are you ready?" She asked me.
I sucked in my breath then nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."
"Okay, what about you, Ethan?"
"Hu, oh hell yeah." He said confidently. I chuckled at his response as we walked toward the school's front doors. Breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. I repeated the steady steps in my head over and over again as we finally walked into the school. All eyes were on us, making me feel like puke was rushing up my throat. Ethan squeezed my hand and looked at me as if asking if I was okay. I nodded and we continued are way to my locked.
When we got there I expected to see just my locker, but instead I saw a bouquet of roses tapped to my locker with a note tucked into the flowers. Ethan raised his eyebrows at me, but I ignored it and went back to the roses. I swiftly let go of Ethan hand and grabbed the bouquet. Ethan grabbed the note and read it out loud.
"Just because I love you, Your Superhero, who's this?" He asked.
"I have this secret admirer, he claims that he's loved me since he laid his eyes on me, but I don't know who it is." I said sniffing the flowers.
"Well this guy's a charmer." He chuckled a bit handing me the note. I laughed at his remark and opened my locker. I carefully put the flowers in my locker and stuffed the note in my bag. The bell rang to homeroom and the hallway cleared up pretty fast. Ethan gave me a smile and said,"I'll see you later?"
"Yeah, see you later." He smiled once more and walked off. I closed my locker and made my way towards homeroom. You know in this movies where the person walks pass a door but then a hand pulls them in that door? Yeah? Well that's what happened to me. I was dragged into the janitors closet.
"What the hell?" I whispered yelled to the person who had dragged me in here. The person shushed me and stayed quiet. I awkwardly stood there and swayed back in forth. Growing impatient I finally spoke up.
"Is there a reason why I'm here?"
"There's a reason for everything isn't there?" That statement, that voice.
"…And if I kiss you remember, there is a reason for that too."
I suddenly knew who I was talking to.
"Son of a b-" I was suddenly interrupted by a pair of familiar lips press onto mine. As much as I wanted pull away I couldn't. Something made me wrap my arms around his neck, and something else made me pull him closer to me. I couldn't stop myself. He made me do things I could never imagine myself do. He pulled me closer to him and kissed me more intensely.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was so stupid." He said between kisses. We finally pulled away breathing heavily. He laid his fore head on mine.
"I'm sorry. I was a jackass, I let you slip through my fingers and I regret it. It's just I heard you and Ethan started dating and I got so jealous, I couldn't contain myself and-"
Slap!
"That's for hurting me." I said crying now.
"I deserved tha-"
Slap!
"That's for kissing me." Tears running down my cheeks.
"Yeah I guess I deserved that to, please don't slap me again." He said blocking his face with his hands. I smiled a bit as my eyes began to water quickly. He uncovered his face and looked at me.
"I'm not going to slap you." I said.
"Oh, good cause-"
Slap!
"Ow! I thought you said you weren't going to slap me again." He said rubbing his cheek
"Remember when I said if I slap you there's a reason for it? Yeah, well those were the reasons." I said getting my point across his head.
"What was your problem, why did you do all this?"
He sighed. "My problem was that I couldn't sleep knowing you could never be mine, and I did all this because you were to have an arranged relationship and you couldn't get out of it so I thought, why bother. I hooked up with Nicole as a distraction and after I did what I thought was a better idea I regretted it, I regret ever hurting you and I also regret not telling you how I feel about you, I guess I was just confused." He paused. "But I'm to late now. You like Ethan and Ethan likes you." He finished.
"I don't like Ethan. I mean I like him, but not in that way, you see we sorta made a plan to get you jealous and I guess it worked."
He sighed again and hugged me. I hugged him back as he lay a kiss on my head.
"So, what do we do?" I asked him.
"I don't know but, we'll make it through…together."
