The Golden Fake Couple

Chapter Three: Pulling it off.

"So what now genius?" I ask, tilting my hip at him.

We were still behind the oak tree, and he hadn't stopped smiling at me like an idiot which I won't deny wasn't a bad sight but still. If we were going to pull this off we needed to do it properly, Jade Williams didn't do anything half arsed.

"What do you mean?" he asked looking genuinely confused

I mentally facepalmed myself. he hadn't thought past this bit and he had no clue how to do this. great.

"oooohhhhh you mean the whole fake-couple thing?" he asked seeming to catch on

"Yeah yeah don't worry I got it covered. I was thinking because they couldn't see anything of this" he said gesturing between us "we could get away with saying that I just asked you out" he smiled

Ummm

What.

"Wait what? Are we starting now? but we don't know anything about each other, we haven't flirted beforehand, I literally just told you to piss off in the cafeteria. How am I supposed to go from hating you to being in love with you from walking behind a fricking tree!?" I half yell at him.

He seems to ponder this, acknowledging his flaw in the plan. By doing this he said, a wicked grin on his face. This was not going to end well.

In one fluent motion, he walked into me, pushing me out from behind the tree, into full view of the whole school, still watching on and smacking my arse on the way, right at the point where the action was still hidden but a split second before I became in full view of the school, so know one else would have seen it. I instantly whirled around ready to beat the hell out of him, death glaring him so hard I honestly believed that he was about to combust from the look I was giving. I started yelling at him about respect and that I was going to beat him up as I stormed towards him, he had this sad look on his face and my confusion grew as he was now also in full view. I slowed my tyrant, looking at him with my confusion fully etched into my features, as he walked forward and grabbed my hands. By this time I had shut up, pure confusion taking over, then giving way to the thoughts that were screaming 'What the hell is going on?'

coming to my senses, I was still infuriated and I frowned at him. He's not getting away with this. I open my mouth to yell at him again but he doesn't let me, closing the gap between us with a slow and gentle kiss making me tense with surprise. He had planned that whole thing. Right from getting us into the open to making me look mad at him while he looks empathetic and apologetic, to the quite moment of "passion" before he kissed me. This was an actual kiss, not like he kisses his hookups in the hallways, but a kiss the way its supposed to be. I broke it off as I looked at him, a glare in my eye.

"You cheeky shit" I whisper. to which he grins at me in response.

It's only then that I realize the screaming and cursing coming from all the hormonal teenagers in that cafeteria. Somewhere, there was cheering for Connor (mostly the guys), somewhere there were disappointed groans (half of the girls) and the rest were downright mad that I had ended their hopes and dreams of being his next toy (everyone else). I also become aware of someone screaming my name. And by screaming, I mean screaming. As I start focussing on the torrent of red hair coming towards me, I realize Casey is coming storming out of the cafeteria with a look of death in her eyes so intense I start mentally writing my will. I gulp as I start to think really hard about my next move. I look to Connor for help but all I get is a shake of his head

"Not even her," he says, his mouth not moving. He was referring to the truth, the real situation between us. I can't tell Casey the truth.

This is insane. I've never kept anything from Casey before. She's going to see right through me.
