'Where u at, Samantha?! U R RUNNING LATE!!' Said the text my faux boyfriend Nate Hadley sent a few minutes ago.

It had been one whole week of being the sweet victim --more like slave of Nate Hadley. To be honest, I was clearly expecting that being his so called girlfriend wouldn't be as hard at is seemed. That all I had to do was eat with him, hang out, and show people that we were indeed together. I hadn't really minded the PDA that was part. That is, until I was caught surprised at the mere fact that this whole faux relationship would be full of it.. Too much of it actually.

Not only did the one week so far horridly suck, but my reputation as well. Of course, the slutty girls in this hell of a school hated me for being with Nate. It seemed like the only person interested in talking to me or even glancing at me at that manner was my best friend Cassie Hunter, who felt the worst for me as well. She despises Nate more than I do and so I still think she's sane.

Rolling my eyes, I sent Nate a text back. 'On my way, darling..' I tucked my phone in my bag and quickly dressed for school.

It was my turn to drive my two siblings to school. Isaac, my brother, who's a year older than I am, and I made an agreement that we'd take turns driving since we both dreaded practically doing anything in the morning before school. Isaac drove for three days straight and so unfortunately, it was my turn. Our little sister Macy needed nine more years to get her license. Both Isaac and I envied her.

Nate suddenly began ringing my phone as I drove. I groaned in frustration. I hated how he'd always annoy me anytime, anywhere. He didn't care whether I was busy or not. All he cared about was to make queen bee Hayley Mckenzie jealous. I still thought of the whole idea as plain old bull shit. She had probably moved on by now.

"Is that Nate again?" asked Isaac with humor in his voice. He despised Nate as well but not as much as I did. He'd find it amusing how I dealt with all his crap. Only he and Cassie knew about my faux relationship.

"Yeah." I sighed, pressing harder on the gas pedal to hurry. I needed to get to school before Nate rips my head off.

"Maybe I should answer it." Isaac slowly started bringing his finger down on the screen to swipe 'answer'.

One hand letting go of the wheel, I fought for my phone but obviously failed. The vehicle started swerving and I panicked, trying to get us back on track with a little help from Isaac, who panicked with me.

I snapped at Isaac and elbowed him for being such an ass and he laughed at me.

"Can you both please grow up!" shouted little Macy at the back.

Isaac and I looked at each other, surprised and we both chuckled. I glanced at Macy through the rearview mirror and when she caught my eyes, she stuck her tongue out. Shaking my head, I thought, Macy's way more mature than we are.

When we finally arrived in school, I spotted Nate's sports car and quickly parked right in front of it. We went down, said our goodbyes and headed on our own paths. I headed towards Nate, who was leaning against the car door, looking pissy and annoyed as usual. He still managed to look hot while doing so though. I wanted to figure out how he even does that. When he saw me, I saw a hint of relief in his eyes, before it changed to a mix of annoyance and anger.

"You're late. Like, really late." He said flatly.

"Got caught up this morning. Actually, I had just woken up when you sent me that text." I yawned.

"Well thanks to your insensitivity, Hayley passed by seeing me all alone. I swear I saw triumph in her smile when she said hello." He growled. "You ruined everything."

I snorted at his cockiness. He was being such a piss off sometimes. Actually, all the time. "Once. She saw you alone once. I'm you freaking girlfriend you asshole and she knows that. Seeing you alone doesn't mean that ----"

I was cut off abruptly when Nate pressed his lips against mine and gave me a smacking kiss. He slid his tongue in my mouth and I suddenly squirmed. I kissed him back since there was too much pleasure radiating through me. Everytime he'd kiss me I'd feel superior and love. Everything about his kiss was romantic. It was by far the only thing I liked in our whole relationship. So I surrendered myself to him. Maybe too much because when he pulled away, I had the sudden urge to protest.

When I finally snapped back to reality, my brows furrowed. "Now what the hell was that for, Hadley?"

Finally grinning, he said "For the kiss I missed a while ago. She may not be here but you did owe me a kiss. So I went for it. Better late than never. Besides, you were talking too much and your lips looked vulnerably sexy."

My eyes widened as I slapped his arm.. which felt like I just slapped a wall. "You're such a freak??" That was the first time Nate complimented me about my lips and I hate to admit it but, it felt wonderful. I couldn't understand how, despite all the harsh ways he'd treat me, one good thing he does to me depletes most of the bad feelings I have towards him. Only until I get over it though, thank God.

"You look like no one has ever complimented you before. Don't feel so special." He reminded me and I frowned. That just ruined it.

Nate swung his bag across his shoulders and kissed my forehead. "Lunch, sweet heart. If you're late, Hadley University will be late in your wish list too. Don't mess with my temper." he said as he turned and walked away.

"Asshole!" I screamed causing not only him but others around to draw their attention on me. I felt my cheeks burn and quickly thought of a save. "I love you!" I added.

I could hear faint giggles and laughters of people around me but I was all focused on Nate, sort of afraid at what his reaction was going to be. He simply smirked and shook his head. Cocky bastard. Cocky cute ass bastard..
