Julian stares at me blankly for what seems forever. I could feel my heart beating against my chest. This was such a dumb idea, why did I think I'd be able to get away with this.

I mean who was I to just barge into his life and start demanding stuff. Damn it Lillian. This was never going to work- what if he just laughed in your face- shit. Stop it. You're not Lillian you're Lilly now. This was your year. You've worked so hard to get to this point you were not going to mess it up now. Compose yourself, damn it!

I lick my lips. They were dry aaand I also just ruined my lipstick. Great.

I keep my face composed. He had no clue how many thoughts and doubts swarmed in my head right now. He cocks an eyebrow at me "So what you're saying is that you want to 'fake' date me" he says slowly, trying to comprehend the idea I just presented him with. I know, it barely made sense to me too.

I nod "Yes. It's a game" Wow, Lilly! Great job expanding it to him.

"And what do I get out of it?" He asks clearly not convinced. Shit.

"Points" I state simply. 'Thank you Isabelle for the little tip' I say to myself .He opens his mouth to say something but I cut in "I know about you're little club. I'm not that clueless, you know" I say crossing my arms over my chest. He chuckles lightly and scratches the back of his head. "Here's how the game works. We do everything I said before. And not just in public either, 24/7 even if we're alone. That just makes it harder. You don't see any other girls and I don't see any other guys. This goes on as long as one of us doesn't fall for the other. Anything we do while the game goes on doesn't count for your club points. But if I fall for you ,you get points. We can talk to your guys and arrange something. I bet none of them has gotten someone to actually fall in love with them" I say a smirk tugging at my lips.

His lips stretch into a smirk his eyes flickering with amusement. "Alright new girl.But my question is: what do you get out of this? Seems kind of to good to be true. I mean " he says, his eyes racking over my body. I feel my face flush slightly. I tuck a lock of hair behind my ear. "That's for me to know" No way we would go along with this if he knew how desperate I really was for his 'help'

He nods slowly. "Alright fair enough. I mean who wouldn't want to date me" he says cockily. I sigh and roll my eyes. I guess this is what I was going to be stuck with for a while.
"Alright then babe. Let's play the game" he says. He grabs me by the waist and we walk back to the cafeteria together.

When we walked back into the cafeteria together Isabelle looked over and her eyes were basically popping out of her skull. I heard a new wave of whispers. First the new hot girl and now the new girl, with the hottest and biggest player in the school. And only on her second day. I smirked to myself as we walked back over to Julian's table with his popular friends.  My eyes meet Isabelle's here eyes asking for an explanation but instead of going over and explaining to her the situation I simply mouth her a "Sorry". Her usually friendly green eyes turn icy as she gives me a venomous look and turns away from me.

I sat beside Julian on an old 1980's couch in the garage of one of the members of his little club. They all gawked at me. I felt uncomfortable under their curious gazes. I blew a bubble with my gum. It made a big popping noise which echoed through the awkward silence.
"This chick is serious" one of the guys says . His name was William. I nod my head "Yes, why is that so hard to believe?" I ask impatiently. Why was the concept of us faking dating so difficult for them to understand , like really it's not that big of a deal.
One of the other boys pipe up "Because girls don't like to be used. Much less fake date someone and not get anything out of it."

I roll my eyes "Who said I wouldn't get anything out of it?" I question. I wanted to be popular and at the top of the chain. I was already the hot new girl, people already knew who I was. Or the thought they did.

Plus dating the hot player and having him to myself would get me where I needed to be. At the top. "Sweetheart is this just you're way of getting to be with me without confessing your undying love to me?" He asks jokingly. I elbow him in the ribs "In your dreams babe" I say mimicking his tone. Julian chuckles under his breath and I sigh annoyed by him already.

We go over the rules of the agreement:
-anything we do through out our "relationship" would not give Julian points.

-if we were caught with someone else the agreement was off and Julian wouldn't get any points

-we had to act like couple even if it was just us or with the boys

-if   I fell in love with Julian then he would win and get the amount of points he chooses

They all knew the chances of me falling in love actual love with Julian were slim to none. I mean I hated him, he was a jerk. A big egotistical, jerk who was cocky, annoying, and was the biggest player in the whole school.

But he was a big egotistical, jerk who was cocky, annoying, and the nuggets player in the whole school who would get me exactly what I wanted. As long as I played my cards right that is.
