prompt: basically Sarah's mom invites her ex boyfriend to a Christmas party, so she and Jacob decide to 'pretend date' to make him jealous
Sarah's p.o.v:
"YOU DID WHAT?!" I shouted into the phone.
"Sarah, it's fine, I thought you said you were over him," my mom replied.
"I am over him, but why did you have to invite him out of all people?!" I said.
"Sarah, it doesn't matter, he's coming and there's nothing you can do about it." my mom says sharply. I hang up on her, which is probably going to come back to haunt me later. How could my mom invite my ex boyfriend out of all people to her Christmas party?! I might have been lying a little when I said I was over Alex, like how could anyone ever get over Alex? I walk over to the bathroom and grab my toothbrush. I apply some toothpaste and start brushing and that's when it hits me. I spit out the toothpaste, grab my phone and after about a minute a voice answers.
"Hello?" Jacob asked, yawning.
"Hey, remember when I helped you move a couch and you said you would help me do something in return?" I say into the phone.
"Yeah," Jacob says sounding very confused.
"Well, Ineedyoutogotomymom'schristmaspartyandpretendtobemyboyfriend." I say into the phone.
"What are you trying to say? Talk slower," Jacob says.
"Okay, um, I need you to go to my mom's Christmas party and pretend to be my boyfriend," I finished.
"WHAT?!" he screams.
"I need you to go to my mom's chri-" I start saying but get interrupted.
"Yeah, I know that I'm your best friend and I'd do anything for you but why do you need a date to a Christmas party where only your family and close friends go to?" Jacob asked, confused.
"She invited Alex..." I say and hear Jacob gasp from the other line.
"I'll do it and meet me at the mall tomorrow," Jacob says.
"Thank you so much, I love you, bye," I say into the phone.
"I love you too," Jacob says and then hangs up. I smile to myself as I sit on my bed, but then I realize this: this is gonna be a hell of a party if me and Jacob are going to pretend to date. What will my friends think? Would they freak out? Would they see straight through my lies? I'm not a good liar, that's Laura's job. I fell asleep swimming in my thoughts.
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
BEEP
"OKAY, I'M UP!!!" I scream as I get up from my dreamless sleep and practically break my alarm while trying to turn it of. I hear the doorbell go off and I try to come up of ways to cleverly kill whoever is trying to make me get of my bed. I open the door and see Jacob dressed in sunglasses, a white shirt, black skinny jeans, and checkered vans.
"Why are you here so early?" I say while glaring daggers at him.
"I thought we were going to the mall...?" he said, looking very confused.
"Not this early," I reply.
"Sarah, it's literally 11 A.M." Jacob says.
"I know, but at least wait until the sign A.M changes to P.M. I am not a morning person!! You of all people should know that!!!" I scream. Jacob rolls his eyes, pushed past me, and walks straight into my house.
