Addison's point of view
Today is the day Bryce comes over. I've been avoiding Tony all day, I don't need him asking questions I don't have the answer to.

I don't know much about Bryce, I don't even have his number. All I know is that he's my fake boyfriend and he needed to act like it.

I was in bed for the past hour in booty shorts and an oversized shirt, with a messy bun on my head.

And I also have my glasses on. Not a lot of people know about my glasses, but sometimes I get lazy and decide not to put contacts on today.

I wanna get ready but I feel like I can't get outta bed. Then I hear a knock at the door.

"Addison! Get your ass downstairs the Sway boys are here!" A loud Thomas. I roll my eyes and laugh as I get downstairs. I can change later if I want to.

As I walk down the stairs I see Tony and Bryce staring at each other. Oh no, what are they saying?

I quickly run up to them and hug Bryce's arm. Oh god, this is super uncomfortable.

"Hey, perky. What's u-" he says before I cut him off by pecking his lips with a kiss.

"Um, good afternoon to you too I guess" Bryce says with a laugh. I just give him a small smile as I see Tony walking away.

"Yeah hey" I say, letting him go. "You won't believe this guy. The guy that just walked away thinks we're dating!" Bryce says in confusion.

Hahah about that. "What, is it so unbelievable to date me?" I say in a joking manner. He laughs along with me.

"No not like that. It's just we only met yesterday and I am not exactly in the best place to start dating someone" Bryce says, giving me a sad look.

I decide not to ask him about it. "HEY YO BRYCE! BRING YOUR GIRL ON OVER HERE!" we hear Tony yell from across the room.

"DUDE ME AND HER ARE-" Bryce begins but I begin to pull him to the front doors.

"WE'RE LEAVING! SEE Y'ALL IN A FEW!" I yell as we put on shoes and get out to my car.

"Where we going, perky?" Bryce says as we enter the car. "Starbucks. I am in need of coffee" I say.

That was a lie. I needed to ask him something and we needed to be alone.

The car ride was short, thank god, because we didn't speak the whole way there.

We entered the Starbucks and placed our orders. By the time I got my money out the drinks with dessert pastries were paid for.

We sat down at a booth by the windows with our drinks and pastries as I began talking.

"Bryce I know we haven't known each other long, but I need you to do me a favor." I say with a straight face.

He looked confused. He unfurrowed his brows as I continued my sentence.

"Can you play along in dating me? Please? I'll all be fake!" I say.

He laughs. "No way in hell. Listen, perky, I think you're adorable, but I had a break up, and don't feel like settling down again yet" Bryce said.

"No, it's all fake. I need to get someone to leave me alone, and you want your girl back. It's a win win" I say with my persuasion voice.

"What is this, to all the boys i've loved before?" Bryce says. I'm surprised he knows about that movie.

"Cmon please????" I say. I have no other choice to bring out my pouty face. I pout at him and he shuts away from my gaze.

He looks at me again and sighs. "Ugh fine. But only so you can stop doing that face" he says, and I smile.

"Yay! Now we need rules" I say and he lets out a groan. "Yet again, to all the boys i've loved before" he says and I hit his arm.

"Shut up, and just help out!" I say, taking out a piece of paper.

"Ok first rule: no cheating." I say and he scoffs. "No duh, that's like every rule for every relationship" he says.

"Stop!! Let's move on" I say. "Next rule: we can't tell anyone about this" I say.

"What am I supposed to say now, first rule of fight club?" He says and I roll my eyes.

(That was another to all the boys reference)

"Be serious Bryce" I say as I write the rule down. After a few more minutes of arguing and disagreements, this is our final list :

1. Bryce and Addison stay loyal to each other.

2. Bryce and Addison cannot tell anyone about this relationship being fake.

3. Bryce has to call Addison every night and text her a good night and good morning text, full words.

4. They have to say their nicknames for each other often.

5. Bryce has to ask permission to kiss Addison.

6. Addison and Bryce must hang out almost every day.

7. Bryce has to take Addison anywhere she wants in his car.

8. Cuddles are a must when people are around.

9. Bryce and Addison always need to post about each other on their socials.

10. Bryce and Addison must hold hands when walking together.

11. Touching is aloud, but must stop when the other gives them the look.

12. Bryce and Addison are to have sleepovers every weekend.

13. NO CATCHING HARDCORE FEELINGS FOR EACH OTHER
••••••——-•-••——————————
We head back home and I give Bryce the rules to read. God he reads so slow.

"Um Addison? How are they gonna believe us if I have to ask permission to kiss you?" He says.

Ugh, he has a point. Doesn't he get the hint about it being respectful?

I rewrite that rule so it reads.

5. Bryce must tell Addison ahead of time that he will kiss her for her approval

Bryce rereads the new rule I wrote. "Ok now it sounds reasonable." He says.

I hold my hand out with a smile. He holds it, and puts on a smile too.

"No dummy, shake my hand!" I say, and he rolls his eyes.

"And here I thought you were being kind" he says with shock, and we shake hands.

"For you and only you, hotshot" I say, my arm hanging around his shoulder.

He smiled and put an arm around my waist as we walked into the Hype House together.

We were officially fake dating.
