❝It's official. I'm dating an asshole of a YouTube star.❞

Natalie Carson couldn't believe her eyes when she realized that she'd spilled her coffee on one of her favorite YouTube stars, Patrick Neili. But what she couldn't believe more, was that the image of the two bumping into one another went viral. Within mere seconds, every fan-girl wanted to know who she was, and what she was doing with their favorite YouTuber.

​That very image put Patrick on the map. With his subscribers on the rise, an idea came to mind. All Patrick needed to do to stay in the public eye, was to date the girl from the coffee shop. 

Upon finding Natalie again, he gives her a deal: He'll help her become a notable journalist, if she dates him for six months, only to break his heart for everyone to see.

Natalie was more than happy to go along with his little plan, at least, until she found out his good-boy act was just that, an act. Now all she has to do is pretend to be madly in love with her now least favorite YouTuber. How hard could that be?

High School Survival Theory by sirexcc001
70 parts Complete
Life is hard. Specially when you're a high schooler. You can never know when your life is about to go up. And you 'especially' can never know when it's about to go down. But you can always take some precautions to avoid outcome of the hit. At least that's what I thought before the great 'Ashton Fellan' (pardon the sarcasm) interposed himself in my life. ... "We don't have the prettiest history. We didn't exactly like each other when we first met. You're my rival's girlfriend. We weren't interested in becoming friends with each other. But now in this difficult time, we're befriending. You'll help me to find the person who leaked that photo and prove to the coach that the article was not a self-promo to challenge his ideology." "What's in this for me?" "I won't report on you for invading my privacy. Trust me when I say my dad knows people." I roll my eyes. Never get mixed up with people with money. But maybe a little help won't be so bad after all. So I take his hand and shake it. "Okay, we have a deal." He smiles. "Now let's drink to celebrate." And I already have a bad feeling about this. *cover picture collected from Pinterest* © 2020 SHEONACC001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
