My Fake Lover

# Lexi ‘s POV:

…

“I can’t believe you bought that!” I shook my head in disbelief as we walked out the mall. We taught it was a perfect day to go to the small because

it’s getting really warm out.

“It’s cute! Of course I’m going to buy it.” Emily

smiled.

“It’s four hundred dollars for that small peace of

jewelry.”

“I see it, I want it, I can’t stop myself from buying

it.” Emily shrugged.

I rolled my eyes but still had a smile on my face. I’m happy that I didn’t loose my other best friend. If I did, I don’t know what I’d do. I’ll be friiendless. There’s people at school who I chat with but they aren’t the way best friends are. My mind drifted to Tyler Evans. The guy I’m falling desperately in love with all over again.

He’s my friend, but it doesn’t count when I really

really like him. I never told Emily that I have a crush on him yet. I guess I have to tell her eventually.

“Hey Em?” I said, not even looking at her, just straight ahead where we were going towards the car.

“Yeah?” She responded.

“I um-” I hesitated.

“Just spill it.” She said knowingly. Like she knows what I’m about to ask.

She knows? Since when? Oh god, she probably thinks I was a terrible friend for not telling her for all this time.

“I like Tyler!” I blurted, and I guess I was wrong. Emily didn’t know. Cause her eyes widened and she dropped all her shopping bags to the floor and stopped walking.

I stopped by her and gave her a sheepish smile.

“No way!” She said excitedly. “No way, no way, no way!” She jumped up and down and walked up closer to me. She put her hands on my shoulders.

“Finally.” She said before pulling me into a hug.

“Does he like you back?” She asked when she pulled away.

“How would I know, but I really don’t think so. He just thinks of me as one of a hundred friends he has.” I frowned.

“But you guys are with each other like everyday. ” Emily laughed.

“Not intentionally.”

“Okay, then fate wants you two together!” I gave her a look. “Okay, at least we know he doesn’t hate you, that’s progress.” She winked.

••••••••••

“What are we doing here?” I asked Emily, but she was too busy staring at Tyler’s house in awe.

“What are we doing here?!” I said a bit louder. We were currently parked in front of Tyler’s house, and she didn’t even tell me that we were on our way here.

“Remember the dance thats going on tomorrow night?” Emily asked.

“Yeah?”

“The one where you said your not going because your a lonely girl that has no boyfriend to go with

and your going to die living with a bunch of cats and you-”

“I said yeah!” I stopped Emily from her useless rant.

Emily smirked. “Your going to ask Tyler to go with you.”

My eyes widened to the size of meatballs.

“Are you insane?!” I yelled. “I’m not asking him to the school dance! He doesn’t even like me in that way! I’m not asking him anything!”

“Too late. We’re all ready here. And don’t you give me that boys have to ask girls crap.” Emily saiid.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She always gets me trapped in something. First she tells me to go ahead and be his fake girlfriend, and then she tells me to ask him out to the dance?! It’s like she controls me!

I groaned in frustration and buried my head in between my knees.

“Now let’s go, I don’t want them to think that we’re some type of stockers parked in front of their house.” She said as she opened the door of her side of the car.

I followed her out and in front of the house. She looked at me. “Well?”

“Well what?”

“Ring the door bell.” She gestured to the door.

“No. You ring the door bell. It was your idea.” I crossed my hands over my chest.

“But you know him more and you’ve been here plenty of times.”

“Only two or three times.” I defended myself.

“Just ring it, don’t be afraid.”

“Your the scared one so-” before I could finish, the door opened.

We both immediately turned our heads and gave the maid-looking lady a fake smile, feeling slightly embarrassed that she just caught us fighting over who should ring the stupid doorbell.

I was just mad at Emily for forcing me into asking a boy out. This is a nightmare.

Boys ask the girls, not the other way around!

“Come in.” The maid moved aside and let us walk in before closing the door shut. “You here for

Tyler or Caleb?” She asked.

“Tyler.” I replied.

“Who’s Caleb? I knew someone named Caleb.” Emily told me. “But it would be a big coincidence if it was him.”

“From where? You never mentioned a Caleb?” I smiled at her.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just some guy I used to know long time ago.” She waved it off.

“Tyler, you got company!” The maid yelled for Tyler. “Would you lovely girls like something to eat?” She asked us.

“No thank you.”

“Yes !”

Emily and I said that at the same time, but Emily’s the one who said the excited yes, witch made the maid laugh as she walked into the

kitchen.

“I can’t believe they even have there very own maid!” Emily said in excitement. “I’m so jealous.”

I laughed as we walked into the very large living room and sat down on the very comfy sofa.

When we heard someone walk down the stairs, we both stood up, only to see Caleb walk up to us. To be honest, I was disappointed that it

wasn’t Tyler….
