Our little Fairy Tale

Chapter 8: The ex-girlfriend.

*this is the outfit Riley wears in this chapter*

     "Soooooo what do you want to wear?"
"Luanna I don't know a tee and some skinny jeans." Luanna makes a are-you-serious face. "Riley, it is 98 degrees out side, are you trying to kill yourself!"
"Ok then,what do you have in mind." Luanna runs into my closet and then pulls out an outfit. "Perfect." She whispers. Then she starts going threw my jewelry box and grabs out a triangular necklace and some cat earrings. She gets my denim backpack and my sunglasses. She places them on the bed and then looks at me. I look at her and then the outfit. I sigh.
It is a nice outfit.
"Thanks Luanna." She then says "No problem Mrs.Future James's Wife!"
I roll my eyes once again. "So what are you gonna do?" Luanna asks.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean how are you gonna act like his fake girlfriend?" 
"I don't know Luanna, I will just act like I actually enjoy being around him. Act like I want to be with him. Act like I don't want to punch him when he talks because everything that comes out his mouth is arrogance and self-absorbed. Not to mention annoying ." Luanna sighs and says,"It's only for 2 weeks. Or 5. But how bad can be?" How bad can it be? HOW BAD CAN IT BE?! This is James we are talking about here!
           -November,Saturday(1st week)-
I look in the mirror and sigh. Am I really doing this? I feel like getting back into my pjs, order some pizza, and have a movie marathon. But no, here I am on a Saturday afternoon, being Loverboy's fake-girlfriend. I reapply my lipstick and then I head off. When I get to James's house I see a blue Volkswagen in the driveway. I knock on the door and 3 seconds later James appears. "Hi." He says to me with a smile. I say,"Hello Loverboy." I walk into his house and say "Soo where is she?"  He looks confused "Who?" I look at him with a blank stare. "Your ex James."
"Oh yeah. She's upstairs unpacking. So are you ready?"
"Nope."
He sighs and then says,"Just try and act like you actually like being around me please." "Whatever you say Loverboy." I sit down on his couch and then I hear footsteps coming. It's James's ex. She has longs brown hair and blue eyes. She is gorgeous. I get up and stand next to James. "Hi,I'm Emily!" She says very friendly. I smile back and say,"Hi, I'm Riley." James puts his hands around my waist and I get butterflies. Then I realize he is just doing this for Emily. I'm nothing special. Why do I care? I don't even like him anyways! James looks at Emily and says, "Me and Riley have been going out for a month now. We are basically in love."
I look at him and chuckle nervously. "I wouldn't say we were in love but I-" Before I finish my sentence Emily's phone starts to ring, and she says,"Oh sorry, I got to take this. My boyfriend, Liam, is always worried about me. So one second." She giggles and she answers the phone with,"Heyyy baaaabbbeee..." Then she walks away. I look at James and he looks pissed. I lightly push him and say, "Who pissed in your coffee this morning?" He looks at me and says, "Apparently this Liam guy did."
                "How is that possible, he's not even in this state."
           "You know what I mean,Riley."
I start to laugh. "Somebody's jealous." He sits down on the couch and sighs. "How are we gonna do this?" I look confused. "What do you mean?" He looks at me and says, "How are we gonna make her jealous? She is obviously happy with this Liam guy." I sit down next to him. He runs his finger through his hair. "First of all, stop calling him 'this Liam guy'. Second of all so what? You obviously like this girl and yes, I'm not happy about helping you homewreck a clearly happy relationship," He glares at me. I continue," But, you clearly like this girl so, you can't even give up before you try."  He sighs and says," Your right Riley. We are gonna homewreck this relationship like a BOSS." I slightly cringe and then kinda laugh.
Then he says,"Seriously though Riley, I don't know what I would do without you." He puts his hand on top of my hand. I smile a little and then I hear footsteps.It's Emily. She says, "Oops sorry i didn't know you were having a couple moment." We both pull away and James says, "Oh no we weren't. Me and Riley were just talking about the upcoming Christmas dance. We are going together. Isn't that right,Riley?" He looks at me. Aw crap. Is this his way of asking me to the Christmas dance? Oh wait, I forgot it's not for us it's for Emily. It's not like I like him or anything. The whole reason I'm doing this is because he will leave me alone after Emily gets back with him. I force a smile, nod and I reply,"Yeah I'm excited."
