his smile radiated across the lunchroom as he laughed at something that was said. a small smile forms on my face as a admire a work of art that is, grayson dolan.
grayson dolan is your typical popular jock who is quarterback on the football team. girls want to be with him and guys want to be like him. i see why, though. he's perfect. he's also the guy ive liked since the 6th grade. we are now juniors in highschool. pathetic, i know, but i cant bring myself to not feel something for his perfect smile, his beautiful eyes, and his angelic laugh.
"rylie stop eye fucking him" caitlin says laughing.
"i was NOT eye fucking him" i say picking at my salad i was eating for lunch.
"come one rylie you know you've had a huge thing for grayson since we were like 10" caitlin said, raising her eyebrows.
"we were 11, and i don't like talking about it." i say getting up to throw away my salad.
"ryles, why won't you just go talk to him?" she asks.
"because he can't know. it's a bit weird to like someone for 6 years cait.....he'll think i'm some stalker girl." i say a bit ashamed.
"no he won't." she says trying to convince me.
"not. happening." i dismiss the situation and start walking towards my locker. caitlin follows and sighs.
"ryles you're gonna have to talk to him at some point" she gives me a serious look.
"i have. i sit next to him in math. he says hi to me sometimes." i say proudly.
"whatever rylie. just know it isn't healthy to handle this the way that you are." caitlin comments and then leaves to go to her next class. i huff and then walk to that very math class where grayson sits next to me.
i take my seat and wait for the rest of the class to file in. i glance around the door briefly as kids enter looking for grayson. and when he walks in, he's got that perfect smile sat atop his lips. he sets his bag down and looks over towards me. "hey rylie" he greets.
"hey grayson" i greet back. he then takes out his pencil and turns to talk to one of his friends behind us.
the rest of class, grayson silently does his work occasionally looking down at his phone to text someone. i do my work as well, except my phone is drier than the sahara desert. so i wasn't texting anyone.

after school had ended, i hopped in my car and drove home. caitlin had decided to come with, so we could hang out.
like i previously mentioned, my phone is dry. like DRY. so when i got a notification, i immediately checked it.
ethandolan added you
excuse me what? i unlocked my phone and went to snapchat. i stared at the notification for a couple more seconds. did he do that on accident?
now i wanna know. my finger moved to the add button and i clicked it. as soon as i clicked the add button, a chat from ethan appeared.
ethan: hey
me: uh hi?
ethan: we should talk
me: i don't know you.
ethan: you know my brother though
me: yeah he's in my class?
me: what are you talking about...
ethan: oh nothing just that you're in love with him
me: no i'm not
ethan: i literally see you staring at him and practically drooling everyday lmao
ethan: you aren't slick rylie💀
me: so u added me to torment me or???
ethan: i wish, but no. i'm here strictly for buisness.
me: tf are you talking about?
ethan: i'm sure you heard that maddison broke up with me, right?
me: sadly, yes.
ethan: i want her back
ethan: so i want you to be my fake girlfriend to make maddie jealous.
me: LMFAO hell. no.
me: i don't date assholes.
ethan: it's fake so we won't actually be dating chill
me: i don't care i'm still not doing it
ethan: okay well i'm sure grayson would love to hear how hopelessly in love with him you are
me: ethan stop
ethan: have a change of heart?
me: fine. you get two weeks.
ethan: no, i get as long as i need to get maddison back. and if you fuck this up, i'm not leaving anything out when i tell grayson.
me: whatever.
seen
i didn't tell caitlin about this, soley because i really don't want to believe i'm actually stuck in this situation.
~next day~
when i walk into school, i specifically lay low, not wanting to see ethan. i don't know how this fake dating thing works. and we haven't ever talked about it. so there's a pretty large chance he's going to come up to me today.
once i make it to my locker, my hands twist the dial and opens the metal door. i got out my books and closed the door. as i turn to walk to my first class, i feel an arm wrap around my shoulders causing my eyebrows to furrow and look up.
"what the fu-" there he was.
"hey babe" ethan says with that stupid smirk.
"fuck." i say rolling my eyes in defeat.
"we have to talk about our little deal rylie" he says smoothly.
"ethan, i need to get to class." i retort trying to get away.
"no need" he says holding up a fake late pass from the front office. a smug smile lingers on his lips knowing that he, in fact, had won.
i groan and follow him to the janitors closet, since it was the only place that we wouldn't be seen.
"okay so; rules." he starts off setting his bag down. "this isn't just a school thing, we are going out on dates and shit. this HAS to be believable. and you have got to start acting better." he says referring to my general disgust earlier.
"if you get rules, i get rules too. you can't kiss me, and i am NOT sleeping with you." i say standing my ground.
"you ARE kissing me and fine we don't have to have sex."
"no, ethan. i'm not kissing you. this relationship is fake and i refuse to use up my first kiss on something that isn't real." i fight back.
"you've never kissed anyone?" he asks genuinely surprised.
"no" i say refusing eye contact.
"what about when you and troy dated? that was like a good 3 months long" he cocked his head to the side confused.
"nope." i say sighing and sitting up on the small side table in the janitors closet, getting comfortable.
"why not?" he asked.
"i don't know, it just never happened. troy was a good guy, but i'm sure you can guess why that ended." i said looking down in shame.
"grayson?" he asked.
"yep..." i say quietly.
"you actually love him?" he asks gently.
"sadly." i say
"i'm sorry" he admits.
"for what?" i look up to meet his eyes.
"for making fun of you for loving my brother. i'll talk to him about you since you're doing this for me." a small smile forms on my face.
"thanks ethan" i say. he shrugs.
"no problem"
