Your Point Of View

"Hey, (Y/N). Here are the distributions." My groupmate hands me the paperworks after the class dismissed.

"Oh look, there's your boyfriend. I'll go now. Don't forget to send the copy to my email, alright?"

"Alright." I nod. I walked towards the door as I see Louis leaning against it.

Approaching him, he smiled and said, "Hey, love."

I smiled back and we clasped our hands together as we walk through the campus.

"How was your day?" I asked him like the usual.

He shrugs, "Eh, it was boring without you."

"Oh, really?"

"Yup. It was difficult not seeing you all day." He removes his hands from mine to wrap his arms around my shoulder. He nuzzles his face on my neck and it tickled me.

"I told you to stop doing that," I giggled. He always does that and I'm still not used to it.

"Never." I can feel him grin and that made it more ticklish.

My giggle came out louder, making us draw more attention along the hallway.

I blush and look down, hiding my embarassment. The people are used to it when they see us. Well, we've always been showing PDA that they don't mind it anymore. Louis is too, but me? No. I'm still not used to it.

"So, wanna have date night tonight at mine?" He says as we continue walking.

"I don't know, I have an important project to work on and it's due next week." I say.

"Aww, babe." He makes a whining sound and that made me look up at him, forgetting the people around us. Louis always makes me something like this. Like it's just the two of us in this world. I know it sounds cliché, but it's true. "You can work on it tomorrow. Just spend time with me tonight, please?"

I pouted, how could I say no with that face, "alright."

"Yes! I'll pick you up at 7pm."

"No, you don't need to. I'll drive there."

"Are you sure?" I nod. "I'll just buy your fave snacks then." He cheekily smiled.

"Yay, you really know me." I say, kissing his cheek.

He really is a boyfriend material. Not because he's famous and has the looks, it's because he almost possesses the characteristics a perfect boyfriend has and a girl could find in a man. If I were to describe Louis, he's a genuine person with a kind heart. He puts and priotizes others before himself. He's a very supportive person and won't make you feel less important. Instead, he'll make you feel... loved. He makes me feel loved.

Even though, all of these are just a pretend.

Yes. You read it right folks.

We're just pretending. We are really not a couple. Every people we know and even not know, knows that we are together. But the truth is, we're not really together to begin with.

We just happened to happen mainly because of one reason.

Louis' ex girlfriend.

That's right. It's all because of Louis' ex-girlfriend that he couldn't seem to be done with.

He still had major feelings for his ex that broke up with him 5 months ago. He wanted to show her that she picked the wrong decision. So that's where I came in, to be his pretend girlfriend.

We have always been close friends because I'm his bestfriend's friend and we hung out often before. After their break up, he was really devastated and I comforted him. Then he offered that deal with me. I didn't even know why I said yes. I just did.

It was alright for me for the first few weeks, because it was all just an act especially when she's around the campus. We tried to make her jealous. I really liked the fact that we had no label and it's beneficial for me because my admirers had finally leave me alone. I didn't really want to commit to anyone yet and it was good.

Many months had passed and we're still doing it that we become so used to it. Everything feels normal. Even I, myself, am confused why. Even though we don't see her around, he still does sweet things to and with me. As time goes by, he doesn't mention about the deal or her anymore. He really acts like a real boyfriend and I never asked him anything about it. It was all fine for me because it seems like we're not doing it for the main purpose anymore.

But I guess I spoke too early.

Louis suddenly pins me against the locker which created a loud bang behind me. Before I could even speak, he leaned in and kissed me passionately.

I was surprised because it has been a long time in a while since he kissed me like this. The PDA's really too much but his lips are addicting that I can't find myself getting tired by its taste.

It lasted for five seconds and he pulled away. I ended up catching my breath and my cheeks started to heat up.

The loud beating of my heart rang through me that I even almost didn't hear what he told me.

"Is she gone?" He whispered, still pinning me on the locker and breathing on my neck.

I gave him a questioning look but later on, I figured out what he's talking about.

She passed by, busy chatting with her bestfriends. But I caught her giving us a single glance then walked further away.

Wow. After all this time, I thought he doesn't care about her anymore. That this isn't a deal anymore and what we had is already real.

My heart felt shattered.

Why did I even assume? This has always been the reason. Why did I expect too much?

Why did I let myself fall for him?

I'm nothing compared to her. She's his true great love, while I'm just the fake one.
