you were fake dating for popularity, but you started to like him. The problem was it wasn't given back to you.

eventually he got bored of you and you both were very popular. It'd be better for his reputation if he made a dramatic break up with you

"Were staging a break-up" he tells you bluntly

"What? Please not yet.., I still need you for a little while.." you manage to get out, your mind now racing, he was the only thing keeping you happy at the minute
