Fake Dated - Marcel Styles Fanfic

My name's Tiana Lynn Carter; cheer captain of the school's cheer leading squad, student body vice president, model student of the year and am running for this year's school's salutatorian. Everything was going great in my life until one day, my parents called me up to aim higher for me to graduate as batch valedictorian so I can easily get in a very prestigious college university after I graduate. Even though I'm the model student of the year, I'm still in competition with the school's nerd, Marcel Styles who was running as the batch valedictorian this year. Hearing about my problem, my friends told me to fake date Marcel in order to use him to get better grades. Should I do this for the sake of my college application? Or not?
