A little unsurely, I

nodded.

“You’re just trying to

get back at Cedric,

aren’t you?” He stepped

closer.

My eyes widened.

“What?” How did he

know? Stunned, I

couldn’t take my eyes

away from him.

“From what I can see,

you’re only doing this

because of that guy,”

he said. “Drop the

façade, Evans.”

I blinked, almost

involuntarily stepping

back.

“You’re only making out

with guys because you

want to make Cedric

jealous. It makes sense.

You’ve never slept with

anyone and you make

up lies in a second. I

mean, Michael? Who the

hell is Michael?”

Clearing my throat, I

looked away.

“I don’t know what

happened, but if we’re

talking about getting

back at that guy…”

There was a pause

before he continued,

“I’m in.”

“What?”

He smirked at me. “I’ll

help. You won’t have to

hook up with other

guys, you don’t have to

pretend all the time,

and you know that guy

hates me.”

I blinked, still surprised

with the sudden turn of

events.

“So? What do you say?”

Speechless, I just gaped

at him. Was he actually

proposing a fake

relationship? With me?

“Why would you be

willing to help?” I asked

him.

He smiled. “Why not?”

I thought about it. It

would definitely make

my life easier. “Until

when?”I asked him.

“How long will we…” I

trailed off, not knowing

what to actually call us.

“As long as it needs for

you to get your goal,

whatever it may be.”

My goal. I haven’t really

thought about that. I

mean, was I doing this

to make him ask me

back? Or was I simply

doing this because I

wanted to hurt him,

nothing more? I didn’t

really have a goal in

mind.

“Everything will be

easier, Evans. We’ll

pretend we’re going

out. No more crazy

random guys with

yellow teeth. I mean,

that has to be

something, right? I’ll ‘go

out’ with you… on one

condition.”

“And that is?”

“Be yourself.”

I must have looked

really confused by then,

because thar was

exaclt how I was

feeling. It didn’t make

any sense at all. “Are

you serious?”

“Drop the act and show

me the real Kyla Evans,”

he said, “That’s all.”

I had to think it through.

But who was I kidding?

Honestly, everything

would definitely be

easier with this.

Besides, wasn’t this my

plan to begin with? Use

Seth to make Cedric

jealous? Seth was just

offering to make it

much, much better.

So I said, “Fine.”

He nodded. “Hi, Kyla

Evans. I’m Seth.” He

offered his hand for a

handshake.

Be yourself. I rolled my

eyes and took two

steps backwards, away

from him. “Uh, yeah. As

much as possible, can

we please not touch? I

mean, I don’t want to

touch your hand, which

probably touched lots

of… other stuff.”

He started to laugh.

“Now that’s Kyla Evans,

huh?”

I scowled. “I’m serious.”

“Five minutes ago,

these hands were

under your—”

“Stop! Can we not?” I

hissed. “You know that

was only because Cedric

was there. You want to

meet the real me, then

fine. Hi, I’m Kyla Evans. I

think you’re a scumbag

for sleeping with

random girls and please,

please don’t get into

my Anti-Seth zone,

which has a one-meter

radius around me when

nobody’s around. Thank

you very much.”
