Our little Fairy Tale

Chapter 11: Ex Transformed

*Dylan*

It's the Christmas dance, Me and Loverboy are slow dancing to "I want to write you a song" by One Direction.

Loverboy is looking into my eyes and he is smiling. So am I. He says,"Riley I really like you. I think I love you. I love the way you play with your hair when your nervous, I love when you call me Loverboy, I love your smile, I love your sarcasm , I love the way you raise your eyebrow when your mad. I love you." I blush and say," I love you too Loverboy." He starts to lean in and so do I but then I stop. "What about Emily?" He smiles and says," It was never Emily, it was always you. I loved you ever since I met you. I was using the whole fake-girlfriend thing to get closer to you." I smile and say,"Well it worked." We both lean in to kiss but seconds before we kiss he yells,"RIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!" I look confused and step away. What the heck? It kinda sounds like the school bell...
-December,Friday(3rd week)-
I wake up and I'm in 7th period. The bell is ringing. It was a dream! Oh my gosh that was so weird! The last 2 weeks has been hot mess with James and I haven't been getting a lot of sleep to be honest.
Just a lot of stress,I guess.
Hey that rhymed!
I run my fingers through my hair and Luanna asks me," Are you ok? You fell asleep during Mr.West's lecture." I nod and say," Yeah I'm fine." What did that dream mean? Does Loverboy like me? Do I like him? Does he wanna kiss me or is it the other way around? Ugh again so many questions that need to be answered! Me and Luanna start to walk out of the room and I see Dylan. He's struggling with his art supplies. I walk over to him and ask,"Do you need some help?" He smiles and says," Hey Riley! And yeah I do." I help him with his stuff and I say," So how's it going?" I smile nervously and run my fingers through my hair. Ok, maybe I have a little crush on him. He says,"Oh just the usual. Hey, tomorrow I'm getting some ice cream. Do you wanna come?"  I want to scream,"YEEESSSSSS!!!!" But instead I say," Sure, why not."
He nods and says,"Ok,cool." I start to walk over to Luanna. I hear Dylan say,"Yesssss!" And I laugh and say to Luanna,"I'm going to get ice cream with Dylan tomorrow." Her eyes widen and she says,"No! Are you serious? What about James?" I squint at her and say," Um you mean my 'fake-boyfriend'? You do realize that the whole reason I'm doing this is so he gets away from me, right? Plus Dylan is a nice guy so,why not?" She sighs and says,"Oh Riley. You don't understand. What if Emily sees you two?" I say,"Then she can go tell James that I was 'cheating', they will get back together and then I will never have to interact with him ever again! And this whole thing will be over earlier! You know, I actually hope she sees us!" She rolls her eyes and says,"Fine. This Dylan guy better take care of you. He is kinda cute." I smile and say,"Thanks Lu. I owe you a day for just us since lately we haven't been able to hang out." As we walk outside she says,"Mmhm, you sure do."

-December, Saturday(3rd week)-

"So let me get this straight: you are beings James fake- girlfriend to get his ex jealous and he never bothers you again?"
"Yep."
"Wow. Well that's great news because I was hoping that when this fake- relationship is over I can have you all to my self."
Is he flirting with me? I think he is! Yaaay! I really hope he is because, yes I don't believe in that "soulmate" or "true love" bs, but I mean it's nice to have someone actually be attracted to me.
I blush and I say."Don't worry you will." He smirks and I eat a spoonful of ice cream. He pays for the ice cream and we walk around the park. He holds holds my hand and I blush. He says," Do you believe in kissing on the first date?" I blush and say," Who said this was a date?" He smirks and says," Well I think it is, it feels like one." I smile and say,"Well to answer your question I don't believe in true love so kiss me all you want but I will never believe that you love me." Just kidding I actually say," To answer your questions I do if the date is going well. And I personally think date is going pretty good." He smiles and leans in. I lean in too but then my phone rings. He groans and I look at my phone."Its my fake boyfriend." Dylan pulls me closer and says,"Voicemail." I smile and say "It might be important, one second." I answer the phone,"hello?"
"Hey Riley, I need your help with something ASAP."
"Loverboy can't it wait! I'm kinda in the middle of something."
"And that is?"
"A date."
"A date?"
"Yes and I'm not gonna bail out on him, can't this wait?"
"No it can't."
I breath in and out. Think about it Riley, if you do this now, this will end sooner.
"Ugh fine. I will be there in 10 minutes."
I hang up and Dylan pulls me back and leans in but I pull away. Dylan asks,"Is everything all right?" I nod and say,"Yeah everything is fine, I'm just a little tired." He looks at me like I-know-your-lying. I sigh and say,"And I think I'm getting a cold and I don't want to get you sick." He says,"Alright, let me take you home."

Dylan drops me home and I walk to Loverboy's house. The door opens and I say,"What do you want Lover-" But then I realize that it's Emily. Ok Riley,time to put on your best fake girlfriend that for some unknown reason loves Loverboy.I say,"Oh hi Emily! I thought you were James." She smiles and says,"Oh yeah James is upstairs getting dressed." I nod and walk inside. Wait why was he getting dressed? Why was he undressed? Ugh why can't these questions be answered? I take off my shoes and sit down on the couch. Emily smiles and says,"I saw you out with a guy today." I say,"Oh that was just my art partner. Anyways lets talk about you! How is your boyfriend?" She says,"Listen here, Riley. You are no good for James. Under your fake silver hair and your designer clothes you are just a pretty face. I bet you were wondering how I knew that James was getting dressed."
Yes, yes I was.
"Well we just hooked up." Oh my God. Are you kidding me? We haven't actually even tried to make her jealous besides the hair and the clothes. They already hooked up? I breathe and say,"Oh really?" She smiles and folds her arms,"Yep. And he's gonna dump your ugly ass for me." Whoah. What happened to the overly nice and peppy Emily? Ex transformation.
