How's it going?

No Chloe, what have you done?!

Chloe's pov

Me: Today Noah, Chris and I were at movie theater.
Maya: Uh, I'm very curious to know what happened there.
Chloe: Here is the thing...

<< I was thinking about a reason to leave them alone, so I decided to go to bathroom. There I saw Alex who was buying some popcorn. Then Chris came.

" I was wondering where did you go" he told me.

"Oh I was going to the bathroom, you can return I'm fine" I said him, he really is annoying.

"I will wait here, I have something to tell you" he said a little bit nervous.

After I came back, he was still there.

"Now you can tell me" I said him.

"I don't know if you've remarked already or not, but I like you" he said nervously.>>

Maya: OMG, I knew it.
Me: But I'm sure you didn't expected what I've done😭
Maya: And what?
Me:...

<< I thought really hard about what I could say or do, how don't hurt him and that's when I saw Alex and got this idea.

"Sorry Chris but I already have a boyfriend" I said to him. I can tell you he was surprised. But why, I mean I'm very beautiful, smart and many many other things, why can't I have a boyfriend.

"Oh, ok, is he here?" he asked me a little bit jealous I guess.

I could say him that no, that he's im my hometown but I risked to be again annoyed with him, so I decided to say:

"Yes he's over there" and I approached to Alex. I begged him with my eyes to help me and I guess he understood me.

"You've already got us popcorn, we can enter now" I said to Alex. I tried to look in love in front of Chris.

"So Alex is your boyfriend?"he asked me.

"Yes, is there a problem" surprisingly Alex answered.

"No there's not " he said, again a bit jealous, "are you coming?".

We entered the room together. Noah was very interested in movie but when she saw Alex, she was surprised and curious to know what happened. I told her that it's not the time.

"So now I'm your boyfriend?" Alex asked me quietly so no one could hear us.

"Only when Chris is around, and thanks for helping me, otherwise..."

"I've remarked how he followed you everywhere so I guess I wanted to help you get rid of that stalker" he whispered to my ear.

"Thank you very much, I really appreciate your help, I guess you're really nice person" I said, with a smile on my face.>>

Maya: So you're going to pretend to be a couple at school?🫣
Me: I guess, but not everywhere, only when Chris will be around.
Maya: But you said that he was an asshole and now he is your boyfriend.
Me: Firstly, he's not my boyfriend, he's my fake boyfriend, and secondly, he's still an asshole, but I guess a kind asshole. But trust me you'll have something else to say when you hear what happened next...

<< When we got out of the cinema, I said Noah that I'll leave them alone so that she and Chris could have dinner together. But when I told everyone, Chris said:

"You don't want to come with us? I think Noah and I would like to know how did you become a couple" and Noah nodded to him.

What I'm gonna do know? I looked at Alex, he assured me somehow that everything gonna be fine. So I trusted him.

" We have been a couple from the beginning of semester, but we didn't tell anyone yet cause we didn't want to answer the annoying questions" Alex told me our story so when Chris will ask something, we could have the same answer.

" If he asks have we kissed yet, we can say no, so we won't have to kiss in front of him".

"Why do you think he'll ask us to kiss?" I asked surprised.

"You don't know guys, when they don't get what they want, they'll do everything to get it" he answered, looking very serious.

"Ok, if you say so, I don't know many things about guys" I said a little bit said.

" You didn't have a boyfriend before?" he asked me again very seriously. I didn't know he could be so serious.

" No, I don't care about guys, and I didn't like someone to be with, so I don't care that much", I said, maybe a bit annoyed and hurt about that question.

He looked at me for a moment, then looked away. I think he was surprised, and happy?
I really don't know. But the only thing that's in my mind is will I be able to get out of this hell or no.>>

Maya: I suppose you were very stressed.
Me: Yes, very very stressed. I didn't know what will he ask us, how will Alex respond, will Noah somehow help us, but I think she also believed in our relationship.
Maya: So what did Chris asked?
Me:...

<<"How long have you been together?" Chris asked Alex and me at restaurant.

"From the beginning of semester" I said, trying to be as convincing as possible.

" And why did you hide it from everyone?" this time Noah asked, really Noah, really.

" We wanted to avoid the annoying questions" Alex answered while looking at me. He really got in his role of boyfriend. I smiled at him in return.

After what he said, they didn't ask as much of questions as they wanted. We ate our food. I've no idea why, but Alex fed me sometimes.>>

Maya: Uuu, he is a great actor or he wants to make Chris even more jealous.
Me: Maybe 🤔
Maya: And then what happened.
Me: We finished the dinner without any other questions. Chris looked very mad and jealous, but I didn't care, I mean I'm not obliged to love him. I was really relieved when I was at home.
Maya:💯
Me: I hope at school Chris won't tell anyone. I don't want to pretend to be someone's gf.
