Foolproof

"I understand that you hate school but please at least pretend to care about the project."

"I do too care." I protested, looking down at the book. 

I had gotten partnered up with Luke to do a report for history. I had benn going to school with Luke for almost eight years but we have barely ever spoken to each other. Honestly the only reason I knew who he was was ebcause he hangs out with Ashton. We are currently supposed to be working on a research paper about the Henry VII, but instead we are fighting about about me apparently not helping him.

"Hadley the paper is due Wednesday and its due next Tuesday. We need to start working on this."

"We've been working on this for" I glance at the clock, "Forty-five minutes can't we take a break?"

"Fine, I guess" he says leaning back into his chair.

It's silent. I really didn't think this whole break thing through I mean what could me and Luke Hemmings from my history class possible have to talk about. Then it hits me.

"So Alyssa" I calmly say then look back up at Luke who looks terrified.

"Yes, um what about um her." God he looks like hes going to die from embarrassment at my kitchen table. I'm not sure why he looks so nervous, doesn't he realize that I can actually help him with this.

"Well you like her. "

"No i don-"

"Yes you do I see you staring at her everyday at lunch!"

He lets out a defeated sigh, "Fine. But listen to me you cannot tell anyone."

I let out a laugh and look up at him, he, again, looks like hes about to pass out in my kitchen.

"Luke you have nothing to worry about" I pause and stand up out of my seat walking closer to him "I'm going to help you."

"What?"

I turn around and start to walk over to the fridge. "It'll be easy" I start to look through it for something to eat, but as usual we have absolutely nothing that sounds the least bit appealing to me at the moment.

"Really? You'd do that for me?" Aw he looks so happy, like a little puppy who just saw a squirrel.

"Yeah sure" I laugh. I didn't realize how big of a deal this was for him. 

"So like how are you gonna do it?"

"We"

"We?" he asks he sounds extremely caught off guard I mean did he actually expect me to do all the work by myself i mean I can't even focus on the project.

"Yes we, you are going to need to help me Lucas." 

"oh okay um the how are we going to get her to like me?"

"We're going to pretend to date." I say as I begin to look through the cabinets, god didnt anyone in my house ever go to the grocery store.

"WHAT?" he sounds so shocked like as if it would be the most horrible thing in the world to date me, I mean that might have been kind of hurtful if i wasn't so out of his league.

"Don't you get it" I ask as I make my way back over to where he was seated at my kitchen counter. "She'll want you because she thinks you're mine."
