Starting off senior year with a broken heart wasn’t what I expected.

I thought I’d have time to heal until the reason for my heartbreak shows up on campus walking hand in hand with my best friend.

Everything seems to be going wrong until Theo Miller, the star quarterback of RLU’s football team, suggests we fake date for revenge.

And it seems like an easy solution until pretending so much bends the line between what’s fake and what’s undeniably real

Starting off senior year with a broken heart wasn’t what I expected.

I thought I’d have time to heal until the reason for my heartbreak shows up on campus walking hand in hand with my best friend.

Everything seems to be going wrong until Theo Miller, the star quarterback of RLU’s football team, suggests we fake date for revenge.

And it seems like an easy solution until pretending so much bends the line between what’s fake and what’s undeniably real

While the way he makes me feel is unlike anything I’ve ever felt before, I don’t know if falling is worth the risk of having my heart broken again.

Theo

Everything in my life has led to this moment—senior year at RLU and waiting to be drafted for the NFL.

This moment in my life should be the most exciting in theory, yet I couldn’t think of something I despise more.

Giving it up sounds easy enough, but I’m too afraid of breaking my dad’s heart when life has already been so cruel to him

Faking it for others is something I’ve grown accustomed to, except with her.

Marcela Bass is the only one who has ever seen the real me, and when the opportunity presents itself, I can’t pass it up.

While we might be fake dating, I won’t stop trying until she’s really mine.
