You broke up with your boyfriend, Alex, on Friday, it is now the next week on Monday. You’re at your locker when you notice that Alex already has a huge crowd of girls surrounding him already. You scoff and walk past him like you and him were never a thing. You go into class and sit down. You get out your stuff for class, including your laptop and set it down in front of you. But, Matthew, your enemy has come to irritate you. “Wassup?” he said, smirking while standing next to you. You scoff. “Just take a seat, Matthew,” you reply, giving him a side eye. You glance at your now ex-boyfriend, Alex to see that he is hanging out with the same crowd of girls again. This makes an idea pop into your head. You grab Matthew’s wrist as he was about to walk away. “Matthew, wait!” you say as you grab his wrist. He looks down at you with a raised eyebrow. “Uh… sit, please,” you say awkwardly. “Could you… pretend to be my… boyfriend? Just for today?” you ask, you really wanted to make Alex jealous. “Anything for you,” he smirks. “I mean… how could I say no?” he says, placing his stuff down on a desk next to you and sitting down. As class ended, you explain to Matthew why you asked him to be your boyfriend. “Well, to be honest,” Matthew says, “I would’ve said yes even if it wasn’t pretend…” he mutters. When you and Matthew walk out of class, hands clasped together, you and him walk past Alex. His mouth is wide open, staring at you two. You smirk slightly before looking forward.
