Loop of lies {FAKE DATING!!}

#15 Secrets unveiled

I open my eyes to find a cool breeze brushing against my face. Looking out the window, I notice the rain gently falling, immediately brightening up the morning sky. The strong scent of rain-soaked earth fills the air, bringing a sense of comfort and nostalgia with it. One month had flown by in the blink of an eye, and the arrival of rain felt like a soothing relief just before the monsoon season.

The sound of raindrops hitting the window creates a soothing pattern. Pattering gently against the glass, each droplet adds its own note to the symphony of the rain. It starts as a soft, almost imperceptible rhythm, but slowly builds into a steady, calming chorus. The droplets dance upon the windowpane, their movements almost mesmerizing as they cascade down the glass, leaving behind a trail of shimmering water on the surface.

I reach for my phone, opening the Instagram app to check my latest story. Sure enough, it had been viewed and my best friends, Stella, Annie, and Serena had replied. The only difference this time was that Stella still believed the story was real, not only stella but Irina, Diya, amelia and some people on my Instagram that view my story and believe it.

 I had once again used a picture of a random couple to continue my act of being in a relationship. Even though it was all a lie, my friends always played along. This was our usual routine - I would find a picture of a cute couple online, upload it as my story and pretend it was me and my (fake) "boyfriend".

I finally drag myself out of bed and get ready for school. It's a week of testing and tedious work, like making those annoying charts for biology class. I managed to create a decent one, but I hope my teacher doesn't expect more from me. I'm the kind of student who prefers to have their head in the clouds rather than getting too involved in school activities. Aiden and I have grown closer as friends over time, even though he still manages to annoy me to no end and sometimes, I'm tempted to throw a chair at him.

I talk to Annie on the phone regularly. Unfortunately, my guitar lessons have been put on hold indefinitely since my teacher is having surgery soon. I hope he has a swift recovery and returns to his full health because I miss learning guitar from him. Hopefully, he will be back soon.

Being friends with Aiden has been surprisingly comfortable. While his name matches that of my fake boyfriend, people know I usually avoid interacting with the guys in our class. Who wants to engage with a bunch of clowns, right? Despite this, I had to be cautious, given the similarities in the names, it might raise eyebrows if people find out we were hanging out together sometimes after music class until it was put on hold.

*********************************

I am at school and somehow i only feel sleepy when i am at school?!?!.

Aiden, sitting beside me is attentive, in this past month i have figured out that he is quite studious. i wonder if his friend Issac and Noah are like him too? idk about Issac but Noah definitely is someone who will eat his tiffin while the teacher is teaching. as soon as the teacher leave my head meets the desk. 

"Already tired?" 

i hum in response

"i wonder why you always like to get hit, like God is your forehead okay after hitting the desk in such manner? is getting hit one of your passions?"

" Is blabbering your passion?" i reply annoyed

"Arguing with you is such a waste of time little missy" he responds

"Say it a bit louder with that nickname and people are going to think we are some cheesy cringe couple"

"Ahh sorry"
