Dylan's P.O.V
I arrive home from school slamming my front door shut rushing up to my room in anticipation to talk to Safiya.
I don't know why I'm so excited yet scared to tell her that Luke cheated on her.
He's such a scum bag. How can he ask out such a great girl then just throw her away! Especially since it's only been a week.
Why am I over thinking this? I don't overthink. But your overthinking this right now. Damn my thoughts.
I open my window revealing a confused looking Saf. How am I going to explain this to her?
"Hey Dyl, am I going over to you or vise versa?"
"Come here for a change princess, you know you want too."
She laughs at me as she jumps across the small gap between our windows while butterflies soar across my stomach. Butterflies? Since when did Dylan Peter Fitch become such a frickin softie? Repress feelings, repress feelings, repress feelings-
"So, what's up?"
"Nothing much buttercup, how bout you?" I say with my signature smirk.
"I mean, what did you want to tell me moron." She says smiling while holding back laughter.
I instantly frown knowing that she won't respond well to my news. It's as if I've known her for years yet we barely even know each other. It's hard to describe.
I open up my phone showing her the picture.

She stares at the ground holding back tears muttering, "When was this taken?"I look at her sympathetically

She stares at the ground holding back tears muttering, "When was this taken?"
I look at her sympathetically. "Yesterday."
"Oh."
Then what I wasn't prepared for happens. Tears run down her face causing me to feel the most anger I've ever felt towards Lucas fucking Brown.
I hug her not being able to control my actions as her sobs are muffled by my chest.
"Hey, it's okay Violet. He's not worth it, you're too good for him anyway, he doesn't deserve you." I say getting her to look up at me.
The sadness on her face makes me feel something I can't describe. It's like I want to end her pain and beat the shit out of the guy who caused the pain.
"I ju-just li-liked him for so long! And then after on-only a fre-freak-freaking we-week he decided to ch-cheat on me-e." She says while tears streak down her face.
Eventually she calms down and we lie down on my bed searching for a movie on Netflix. And no, there's not going to be any Netflix and chill tonight you sick pervert.
"Can we watch The Fault In Our Stars please? It's my favorite movie." She says with a sad smile.
I put on The Fault In Our Stars. I'm actually amazed by how good it is. Obviously I'm clearly not into romance movies so I never cared to see it but damn, maybe I should watch some of them now.
Once the movie finishes I decide to confront her about Lucas the king of all douchebags.
"So, what are you going to do about Luke?"
"During the movie when you were busy hiding your tears I texted him saying it was over along with the picture so he wouldn't question my motives."
"HEY! I was NOT crying." I say pretending to be upset.
"Don't be ashamed Dyl, Ansel Elgort's godly acting can even make a sumo wrestler cry." We laugh in unison as I imagine the scenario she described. Her laugh is really cute.
"But now I'm just mad. Like I spent five freaking years crushing on him and then he just throws my heart in a blender and thinks it's fine or whatever. He even left me on read after my message!"
That's when an idea that will change the both of us dramatically in the future pops up in my mind.
"You want to make him jealous?" I ask excitedly.
"Yes." She says eager for me to explain my idea.
"What if we pretend to date? It will only be for around two months, and with the way he hates me it would drive him crazy." I smile proudly with my quite genius idea.
Saf contemplates my offer then responds, "That's actually a good idea."
"Don't act so surprised Violet, I'm smart when I want to be."
She chuckles then answers my proclamation. "Okay, this may work...but we need some ground rules."

By the end of the night we have made this contract:
1. Physical affection can only be shown in public when necessary.
2. We shall act like a real couple as in going to places including dances together, have occasional dates, changing social media profiles to in a relationship, holding hands, walking each other to class, etc...
3. This fake relationship will last for two months, possibly three if necessary.

"Wait what even is in this for me?" I say to Saf.
"I don't know. What do you want from it?"
I grin like an evil genius. "By the end of the two months if you fall in love with me you owe me $100."
"But what if you fall in love with me?"
"Then I will pay you $100." I reply casually.
"Sounds good, you may want to pay me now while you can save yourself from how madly in love you will be with me." She says grinning.
"Oh your on Miller." I say with a wild smirk.
