    Rick, your enemy since high school — the one you always argued and teased with — you two were constantly being scolded by teachers or made to stand outside the classroom.

    But when he got a girlfriend, you both stopped interacting much, since his girlfriend got jealous of how close you were to him.

    So eventually, you rarely argued or teased anymore, and you just started avoiding him.

    Until one day, you found out from a classmate he and his girlfriend had broken up — and that he was alone in the club room, playing his electric guitar.

    You decided to go see him, and there he was — still playing, just like he always did whenever something was bothering him.

    You quietly approached him, and he stopped playing when he noticed you. You sat beside him and tried to comfort him.

    “She chose someone else over me,” he muttered, eyes still on his guitar.

    “I hope she realizes you're more handsome and way better than that guy,” you said, trying to cheer him up.

    “You're right… Can I ask you a favor?” he said, looking at you. You nodded.

    “Can we pretend to be in a relationship? I know she gets jealous of you.”

    “Huh? But—”

    “Come on, just for three months. You’ve lost weight already anyway,” he teased.

    “Fine, but you’re treating me all the time.”

    “Yeah, yeah… you and your food cravings,” he teased again.

    And so, the fake relationship began — and the plan worked. His ex really did get jealous and even tried to get back together with him.

    But what Rick didn’t expect was that as time passed, and their pretending continued — he started to fall for you for real.
