Faking Love - Y.C -

C | H | A | P | T | E | R | 16

I looked around the lunch room hoping to find Ariel. She was sitting at a table near a window. I quickly got my food and walked towards the table.

"hey," I said when I finally reached the table.

"Mol!" Her face brighten.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Nothing. How was it last night? Did y'all do the 'dirty'.." She smirked

I almost spit out my drink. "No what the fück? We had a nice dinner with his uncle,"

"hmmm... do you think he is the one? Like do you see you marrying him?" She asked.

"Ugh," I rolled my eyes, "it's not like that Ariel,"

"What do you mean? Do you not love him?"

Maybe I should tell her. Tell her that me and him are nothing. That we are a fake couple and doing fake stuff. That the reason I'm doing this is because I don't want trouble with Joel. It's all an act. Nothing between us.

"Look Ariel, promise not to tell NO ONE, or else" I warned.

"Oh I'm so scared," she said sarcastically, "but yes I promise,"

I leaned over the table making sure no one was listening, "me and yoandri aren't a thing,"

"You guys broke up?"

"Noo, we are dating but," I continued, "it's all fake."

"I don't understand," she shook her head.

"Me and yoandri aren't dating. It's all an act. We act like a couple but we're not. He is actually a pain in the ass. I'm just doing this so he won't tell Joel about me lying to him about the party." I explained.

She rolled her eyes, "that's stupid. I actually was happy for my best friend having someone. And I actually was happy that you finally... Moved on..."

Then I remembered of JC. Gosh I miss him. I miss his curly hair. His smile. His beautiful smile that light up the world. The person who made me laugh when I was down. The person who would buy me gifts when there was no special occasion. The person who would shower me with kisses. I miss him. All of him.

"Well you thought wrong. He is nothing to me. I'm just doing this for me not him," I said.

"Does Joel know?" She asked.

"Of course not. Why the fuck do i always ask you to distract him,"

"He is going to eventually find out," she said, making me roll my eyes.

"Not really. I hope not," I said.

I could already think how much trouble i could get to. Even tho he is one year older than me, he can be an monster sometimes. I'm not going to lie, he can be scary at times. He can be a sweetheart next thing you know he is a cold hearted bîtch.

Soon the bell rang signaling the end of lunch.
