   This is a story about a girl. A girl who lied all too well. One who was bored, pretty, and sad. A girl who mastered the art of pretending.  Pretending since she was a little girl.

   The problem with playing pretend is that it gets boring. As a kid, you love it. But as you grow older, you grow tired of it. Not only that, you start to doubt what's pretend and what's not. 

   What's worse than a girl who lies all the time to others? A girl who lies to herself even more. Blair Knight, the queen of pretending to be something she's not. She's tired of pretending to be the perfect girl, she's tired of pretending she's fine with her boring life. She wants to escape it.

   And he helps her escape it. The boy. The school's most loved. The one who can see past the mask Blair keeps up. The one who is deeply in love with a girl. A girl who's love was toxic but strong, always pulling him back in. This girl isn't Blair.

   Blair wakes up with a feeling. A feeling that sparks ideas in her head. She wants a life of excitement, a life of regrets. And thanks to Grayson, she gets one. 

   But someone should of reminded Blair of the warning. Be careful what you wish for. Because Blair gets more regrets than she's bargain for. She started off hating Grayson. But you know what they say, there's a fine line between love and hate. And Blair? She likes to dances on it.

So This Is Love by ellabella201

(Sequel to Our Fake Relationship) Love was never meant to be simple. It was messy, unpredictable, and, at times, utterly heartbreaking. But despite the pain, despite the uncertainty, it was always worth it. Every argument, every moment of doubt, every tear shed-it all became insignificant in the presence of the one person who felt like home. Jared and Ashely had been through it all. What started as a *fake* relationship had unraveled into something real, something raw. After endless denial, unspoken feelings, and battles against their own emotions, they finally admitted the truth-they were in love. And for a while, it seemed like they had found their happy ending. But love never stayed still. It didn't settle just because they wanted it to. Then, *he* arrived. Unexpected. Uninvited. And suddenly, everything that once felt certain became clouded with doubt. He brought a shift, a pull she didn't understand-an unfamiliar feeling that both thrilled and terrified her. It was something she had never experienced before, something she never thought she *could* feel. And with that, the questions began. *What is this? What does it mean?* And worst of all-*had she truly been sure of her heart all along?* So, this was love. A chaotic, gut-wrenching, soul-shaking journey that forced her to face the most impossible choice of all. Yeah. That sounded about right. (Sequel to Our Fake Relationship)
