After Leah got two-timed by her now ex, Bartholomew Smith, she felt like she no longer wanted to be on the same campus. However, during her study session with her two best friends, Liam and Paige, she conjured up a flawless plan.

"Look..." Luka searched his mind for my name again.
"Leah." I reminded him.
"Yeah Leah," He looked up and away from me, clearly lost in thought, "I don't have time to fiddle with your freshmen relationship problems."
He then looked straight at me. My heart resisted the urge to jump out of my chest, "Besides, I'm already taken."
"Oh."

Don't Take It Personal
"I still never said it. And besides that, you're not listing the basics of the relationship. We need rules and agreements. When is it over?" "We'll have a deal," I told her. "You commit wholeheartedly to us being in a fake relationship, and I'll continue to tutor you." "That's great," She said impassively. "But when does this end?" She looked between us. "When I'm sitting at a hundred, or when you win your girlfriend back?" "I'm not necessarily saying I want her back," I said. "We're just doing this for the fun of it. I can't really put a timing on it." She was quiet a moment before impulsively agreeing. "Fine," She gave a shrug. "Although, I will have to say, I feel bad for you." "Why do you feel bad for me?" "I can't be your Juliet."Complete
