Axel was a popular guy that played football. And he’s been made up to be the classic snotty, rich and cocky boy that thinks he’s the best. But really, he’s a very sweet boy that is considerate and very helpful.
And he’s recently broken up with his girlfriend, Veronica. But he missed her a lot, even if she was toxic and always thinking his feelings aren’t valid.
But she was also sweet when she wanted to be, and Axel simply couldn’t let her go. And he wanted her back but he didn’t know how.
Until he saw you. You were the nerdy type that always had their nose in a romance book.
He thought you’d be perfect to help him win Veronica back.
Fast forward a couple months, you two have been fake dating to make his ex jealous enough to steal him back. And it was working.
You had all gone to a ski lodge for a school trip, and you sat next to your friend on the coach despite Axel genuinely wanting to sit with you.
Because the truth is…he fell for you. He didn’t want Veronica anymore. He wanted you, he couldn’t stop himself. He dreamt about you, thought about you and subtly nerded out about you to his friends.
You were bunking in a room with your friend, Chris, doing facemasks and such while Axel was in the hot tub outside the hotel, chilling by himself while thinking of you.
