you were faking dating cole, the popular guy at school because he wanted to make his ex jealous.

you were currently at a house party with cole and he had his arm around you and you usually get stiff, but after the few months of dating, you started to enjoy his fake affection

everyone started to huddle up for a game of beer pong and you and cole were split up into different teams. he got paired with his ex

as you started playing, you couldn’t help but notice them get closer, in the end they won and she wrapped her arms around his neck in excitement

you then all sat down on a couch “so how are you two lovebirds?” his ex asked you and cole

“well… per-“

“not like how we were.” cole cut you off, joking around with her.

his ex laughed and he mouthed the words to you ‘it’s working’

you tried to smile back, but it oddly hurt
