My Fake Lover

.

#Lexi’s POV:

.

I looked around and admired the beauty. It’s very pretty here out in the carnival with all the lights. It’s dark out but still very bright, if that even makes sense. All the lights form the rides and stuff make it bright and beautiful. It’s kinda like if you drive by the city at night and you see all those lights, but instead your actually in the middle of it.

“Lexi!” Emily came running to me. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you! I heard you came.” She hugged me like it was the first time in a long time seeing me.

“We’ve seen each other earlier today when we went shopping.” I said when she pulled away.

“I know, but why are you here all alone?” She asked.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m not alone. Why are you here all alone?” I retorted.

“I’m not alone either. Nick brought me here. Apparently, half the school came here today for God knows what reason.” Emily said excitedly. “And you came with…?”

“Tyler.” I said blankly. “He didn’t actually tell me we were going here, but he only brought me here because Courtney ‘his best friend’ ordered him to.”

“Where is he?”

“He said he was going to the bathroom, but I’m actually thinking he ditched me cause it’s been like twenty minutes already.” I shrugged.

“Come on babe, just come with me and let’s have some real fun.” She looped an arm around mine. “Your not going to have fun with him, he probably stopped to make out with some random girl.”

I nodded, agreeing with her.

“Either that or he’s faking a big dump.” Emily laughed making me laugh as well. Thanks to Emily for brightening up my mood all the time.

For the rest of the night, Emily and I went on a few of the rides and played games to earn prizes, but we haven’t earned any of course. At least we played for the fun of it.

“Emily, Lexi!” Courtney came running to us. Is it normal for blondes to run up to people in excitement? Because both my friends did that today already.

“Awe, where did you get that?” Emily asked Court, who was holding a big white teddy bear that’s half her size.

“I know right, it’s cute. Tyler won it for me at a balloon toss.” Courtney said with a big toothy grin.

“Tyler?” I said, shocked. So he really

did ditch me. My stomach churned and I felt like puking all of a sudden. He must’ve bumped into Courtney on his way back from the bathroom.

“Yeah.” Emily said. “We had so much fun, I think he likes me. Well I hope

he does anyway.”

I had to admit, I was a little jealous. Tyler was with her while I was waiting for him for twenty freaking minutes.

What a jerk. Ugh!

He was spending all this time with Courtney. I hate him ten times worst than I already do. Wait, scratch that. I hate him a hundred times worst than I already do.

Wait, shut up Lexi ! I’m supposed to be happy for Court. She likes Tyler, maybe she actually loves him. Shít, I even forced Tyler to hang out with Courtney. I guess I was having too much fun and I complete forgot. What is going on with me?

“Well then, where is he?” Emily asked.

“Right here.” Tyler answered as he walked by Courtney and put an arm around her shoulder.

“Aren’t you supposed to be fake dating Lexi?” Emily asked and made quotation marks with her fingers at ‘fake dating.’

“Courtney and I are just friends.” Tyler scoffed.

Again, that jealousy feeling. If whatever happened between us never happened, we would have been friends too. But maybe I don’t want to think about that as to how much I hate Tyler for bullying me in elementary and so on.

He’s been so rude and mean to me.

“Yeah, I think it’s time we fake break up, yeah?” I asked.

It took a good thirty seconds for Tyler to answer as he was in deep thinking. “Definitely.” He nodded when he noticed all of us were staring at him, waiting for an answer.

“You don’t like Jeremy anymore?” Emily asked.

I shook my head and looked at Courtney who looked beyond happy for being free to grab Tyler for herself.

“So spread the word jerk.” I said. “Cause that’s what your good at.” I glared at him, remembering the times he spread stupid rumors about me.

“Gladly, bítch.” He glared back at me.

“Oh, it was worst being called your girlfriend.” I said, walking away and pulling Emily with me.

“I’ll catch up with you guys later!” Courtney called out to us.

“Okay!” Emily and I said in a unison.

“I’m so cold.” Emily whined, dragging the ‘O’ sound in ‘so’ as we were walking towards the parking space so we can leave. I just could see this poor girl shiver.

Nick immediately took off his jacket and put it around Emily. “Better?”

Emily’s face turned a light shade of pink. “You didn’t have to do that. Your going to be cold.”

“Don’t worry about me.” He said with a huge grin.

“So… are you guys like, together?” I asked slowly.

Emily blushed a deep red and Nick scratched the back of his neck nervously.

“Uh, were just… great friends.” Nick answered. “Just like you and Tyler.”

“What?!” We are not friends!” I slapped Nick’s shoulder. “Just because your best friends with Tyler, doesn’t mean I’m his friend.”

“Ouch, stop that. It hurts.” He pouted like a kid. “And I didn’t say that.”

“Stop being such a big baby.” Emily laughed. “And let’s leave already.”
