β¦ Synopsis
Three's a crowd, but four's a war.
Big girl undies? Check.
Speech planned? Check.
Nerves of steel? Check.
A single crush? β¦not checkβ¦?
What do you do when you find your best friend/crush kissing your other best friend on the day you were going to declare your feelings for him? You only agree to fake date your crushβs rival. The King of the Bows, popular golden (play)boy, and all around douche, Xander wouldnβt be my last choice for a boyfriend.
Across the school, battlelines are drawn and sides are taken between the new βitβ couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche.
Xander keeps distracting me from the plan; make Jason jealous. He insists on holding my hand and kissing me and being nice. Ugh. Xanderβs not nice and heβs not the relationship type, but heβs doing a damned good job of acting both parts.
He calls it βkeeping up appearancesβ, I call it βtake one more pass at my arse and Iβll break your noseβ.
They say allβs fair in love and war, but whatβs so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?
Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.
