    Everyone knows pretending is easy. Pretending to smile. Pretending to move on. Pretending your heart isn't breaking. For 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐭, agreeing to fake-date the most popular guy on campus is supposed to solve one problem-convincing her overbearing parents she's finally over her ex before her sister's wedding. It's temporary. Six weeks. A few convincing photos. A handful of dates. Nothing real. 𝐍𝐨𝐚𝐡 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 has reasons of his own. His hockey scholarship depends on staying focused after a PR disaster leaves his reputation hanging by a thread. A sweet, believable relationship is exactly what his coach-and the media-wants to see. They make three simple rules: • No real kisses unless someone is watching. • No falling in love. • Walk away when the six weeks are over. Easy. Until fake hand-holding becomes comforting. Until stages kisses start feeling real. Until pretending becomes the only thing keeping them from admitting the truth. Because sometimes the hardest person to fool... is yourself.

    She never liked him. He never cared about anyone. That was supposed to be the truth. Until a school project forces them into something neither of them can escape: pretending to be a couple. At first, it's simple. Just a lie they agree on. Fake smiles in hallways. Fake closeness in front of people who are always watching. Fake moments that mean nothing... at least that's what they say. But the problem with pretending is dangerous: The more convincing the lie becomes... the harder it is to remember what was real. And in a school full of rumors, jealousy, and attention that never stops- one look is enough to start a fire. One touch is enough to confuse everything. And one mistake... is enough to ruin them both. Because someone is going to stop pretending first. And when they do- there might be nothing fake left to protect them.

    "I'm sorry, okay? Can you please just stop ignoring me?" He shouted after me. I tried to push past the urge to whip around but I couldn't. Spinning on my heels I shouted back, "I grew up learning that if you ignore your problems long enough, you can almost convince yourself you're fine." I told him. "And I'm sorry, but you are my problem. But you're also the only thing I can't shut out, no matter how hard I try. because you get me." "Then forget the bet ever happened. Just... pretend it was never real. Because you want this-you want me. You know that." He begged, his voice vulnerable. "I did-I do. God, I do. But wanting you and being able to have you... those are two very different things. And I can't. I just can't afford to put my heart on the line and risk getting it stomped on again." "...so what, that's it your just gonna walk away pretend you forget what we had? Because it wasn't fake. You know that." The rain dripped from his hair. "I'm sorry." I turned my back to him and walked. I walked until I was out of his sight and then I ran. Tear tracks down my eyes and dripping wet.

    Is it really possible to fall for someone who was never meant to be yours? Taylor has always been known as the quiet, awkward "nerd" - the girl who keeps her head down, focuses on school, and stays far away from the spotlight. But everything changes when she's unexpectedly approached by the one person she never imagined speaking to her: the school's most popular jock. Confident, admired, and used to getting his way, he needs a favor - a fake girlfriend. What starts as a simple arrangement quickly turns into something much more complicated. Thrown into a world of attention, rumors, and social pressure, Taylor must decide if she's ready to step out of her comfort zone and play a role she never signed up for. But as lines begin to blur between what's fake and what feels real, Taylor finds herself asking the one question she never thought she'd have to face: Is this just an act... or is she actually falling for him? As the story unfolds, secrets are revealed, hearts are tested, and Taylor learns that people aren't always who they seem - and neither is love. Will she walk away before she gets hurt... or risk everything for something that was never supposed to be real?
