Anastasius's pov

i fluttered my eyes open slowly, Ethan's arms were still gently placed on my waist. i stayed in the same spot for a moment, not wanting to wake him up. i looked over at my wall clock and seen it was 8am.

i sighed.

Ethan's arm on top of me gently moved, causing me to flinch and turned my body towards him.

he smiled slightly "good morning, Stace" he says, with his voice deep.

i smiled "morning, Ethan" i reply.

i took my part of the blanket off me and started to get off the bed.

i turned to him after i got up. he was frowning.

i chuckled "whats wrong" i ask.

"i'm cold now" he says.

i rolled my eyes "get up you baby"

he frowned, but got up.

after a minute, i remembered about the thing he said last night.

"um, Ethan" i say allowed.

he stopped moving and looked at me. he looked tired.

"yeah" he asked.

"last night you um said something before we went to be-" i start

"you mean, i love you" he says.

"yeah that"

"well i mean, isn't that what actual couples do? say i love you" he says.

i inhaled deeply "yeah totally. of course"

it shouldn't bother me. this is all fake, so it makes sense it didn't mean anything.

i skimmed through my closet and found a good outfit, it was ripped jeans and a baggy yellow sweatshirt.

i walked into my bathroom and shut the door tightly.

once i walked out, Ethan was shirtless.

i gave him a questionable look, but he just smiled goofily and walked out.

i rolled my eyes and went over to my desk to get a head start on my english project that's due a week after we get back from our christmas break.

after about an hour and a half, i went downstairs to make myself a smoothie and yogurt with granola.

all of a sudden, Theo ran through our front door and ran up the stairs after shutting the door.

"are you okay T" i ask.

"is it true" he asked.

"is what true"

"you and Ethan dating?! are you crazy" he exclaimed.

shit, i forgot to tell Theo. how could i forget to tell my best from birth, literally birth. our parents have been best friends before we were born. when we were born on the same day, they were ecstatic. Theo born at 4:36am and me born at 11:59am.

"it's all fake, me and Ethan are fake dating. doing all the couple things. whoever falls for the other first loses and has to tell the whole school it was fake" i say, once he was standing directly beside me.

"Stace are you serious" he exclaimed.

i nodded "he will be losing, once he knows how it feels to get played he'll stop playing girls. it's that simple" i say.

"fair enough. but be careful" he says.

i rolled my eyes "haven't heard that before"

"i'm serious" he says.

"okay okay" i say, finishing up my breakfast.
