BROOK

On the one hand, I couldn't believe that Logan was asking me such nonsense, but also not that it came out of nowhere. It happened so suddenly.

I immediately removed his hand from my mouth. "No way." I don't even see myself pretending to date Logan. Sean is already keeping his distance from me about what happened at the party, but now? When he sees me with Logan, holding hands, hugging, or kissing! Kissing! I'm not going to kiss Logan, that's exactly what he wants. He gets me off his list of where I wanted to stay away from.

I don't want to be pigeonholed by others, nor do I want Sean to think I'm lying to him. "Why not, what do you have to lose?" My reputation? My honor? My pride? What else is important to living and surviving.

"Get that idea out of your head right now, Logan. I won't do it." I walked away from him to work on my stuff.

"But I need you to play my girlfriend." "And for what?" I left everything in my hand on the table and now looked at Logan, who really isn't going to go that easily.

Now he took a seat at the table on the stool. Yes, it's going to be hard to convince him to go again, but I'll try and do it before Sean sees him with me.

"There's my ex, her name is Carmen. She was very jealous in the relationship and also overprotective..." "That was probably a rough time for you, wasn't it?" I pouted, which made Logan keep talking and not respond to my comment.

"... So whatever. That's why I broke up with her. To this day, she still doesn't get it right." "And you think of me? Of all the girls you've ever had. The ones who dream about that you're asking them a question like this one?" He shrugged his shoulders. "And you still refuse. What a shame, Brook." I rolled my eyes, which made Logan grin.

But I don't really believe him. By that, I mean the whole ex-girlfriend thing that Logan apparently had. I've never seen him have any girlfriends. Not a girl he walked hand in hand with on campus. I'm also pretty sure it would be a huge drama on campus that one of the biggest hockey boys is now taken.

"Why didn't I know you had a girlfriend? The whole campus would know about that." I leaned against the table and drank some water to keep my neck from drying up with all this back-and-forth, which steal my free time.

"I wanted to keep it a secret first." "Even from your friends?" he nodded. "As you say, my reputation on campus. I didn't want her to be told anything at the end, or worse."

"Woah. Whoa. Chill, Orlando Bloom, nobody would attack you or her. Some girls would keep hitting on you because they just don't have any respect for the girlfriends, but the only task you have is to reject them." I quickly made it clear. Logan really has a too-big ego. What all came through this whole "Known Player on Campus Image".

This boy thinks he is Leonardo DiCaprio when he was young. He should breathe some oxygen of reality because that really can't be healthy.

"So what now?" "Let me think. No. It doesn't matter if this whole story is true or not. Find someone else to go to this party with you as your fake girlfriend. It definitely won't be me." Logan wanted to say something, but I could already hear the voices in the stairwell.

"Logan, please go now. I've got things to do." "Think about it." "My answer is certain." He shakes his head as if it were my answer. "Think about it, if I get kidnapped it's your fault." I raised an eyebrow and once again didn't get the sense.

But I got Logan away from my side, who luckily walk to the other door to a slightly longer exit. I watched as a small group of guys got in.

The last of the group held the door open, then Ken and Sean came in as well. This time I took on the role with the greeting smile. So I smiled in their direction right at Sean, who just looked at me and briefly raised his hand, but his face stays the same as yesterday.

He breaks eye contact again and goes to his place where everything is set up. Logan as well as myself spoiled my way to see Sean. Things were going really well between us, but the approach of Logan all went down the drain, and now I'm standing right here, and I'm sad that Sean didn't even really notice me, just like three years ago.

I need to find a way to show my interest in Sean and prove to him that Logan and I are not dating. That was only a silly misunderstanding that was interpreted by the pictures Sean was getting of the two of us, but unfortunately in the wrong way.

The one thing I absolutely can't do is give this "plan" from Logan a chance. To not play Logan's fake girlfriend. Even though I never meant to, that's Logan's problem with his ex. I didn't want to interfere and get to the bottom of my own problems. Like Sean, the rehearsal and the further testing on animals, maybe even on ourselves. I'm already excited and also impatient about how long the whole thing could take, but I wait as long as I only keep my goal in mind.

It will work somehow.
