Your day was going perfectly normal, until it wasn’t.

One second, you were heading to the cafeteria. The next, a firm grip yanked you into an empty classroom, the door slamming shut behind you.

You barely had time to process before you found yourself face-to-face with Dane. Your long-time enemy. The guy who made middle school a living nightmare.

He sighed, arms crossed, clearly irritated. “Listen,” he said, his tone clipped. “I need you to be my girlfriend. Fake, obviously. It’s not like I’d ever date you for real.”

You blinked. What?

Before you could even react, he rushed on. “It’s just to make my ex jealous. That’s all.” Then, as if the whole situation wasn’t already insane, he smirked. “I’ll even throw in 10k if you agree. Easy money, right?”

You stared at him, completely thrown off.

Was this guy serious?
