"So you ran?" I look up from the vanilla milkshake I've been playing with for the past hour while I told carter everything that happened yesterday.

"Yeah, what did you expect from me? I was completely drenched!" Carter rolls his eyes at me then takes a bite out of his burger.

"You should've just acted like nothing's wrong." His mouth full of food and I reach over to take a fries from his plate.

"Yeah, that would have gone over great!" I laugh eating more fries.

"The big problem isn't that he didn't see me but now what do I tell him? I can't say that I saw him kissing Victoria and then ran away. This whole thing was stupid from the start! I thought he would fall for me just because I dressed differently. Who was I kidding he still sees me as his little sister!" I took a long sip from my milkshake trying to claim myself.

"I think I have an idea!" Carter said with a smile as he finished his meal and pushed the plate away from him. I raise my eyebrows at him and cross my arm on the table than lean in to get closer to him.

"Wow, that's a shocker!" He gave me a look while I gave him a cheeky grin.

"Ok, ok. Hit me with it."

"The first day of school is tomorrow, right?" He grabs my shake taking a sip.

"Yeah, so?" I roll my eyes at him.

"Well, your friends have never seen me before. Seeing how we both have our own groups. So tomorrow you come walking through dressed hella fine. All the boys are drooling over you. Then I come in walking over to you and spending all the time we have during classes and lunch to be together. Then I ask you out on Friday. You also make sure not to even talk with him that much like you do now." I interrupt him now seeing where he's going with this.

"So you want to make him jealous?" Carter smiled and lent back into the booth crossing his legs under the table.

"Exactly!" I shook my head then put my right hand under my chin.

"Why would that make him jealous? He'd probably smack you on the head then tell you that you better treat me right!" I laughed and rolled my eyes with the image of Wes trying to be a dad.

"Now here's the hard part that you're not going to like." He moved forward again to grab my milkshake.

"Oh, god I don't know how I feel about this." I huff at his comment.

"I ask you out on a date. But you've never been on a date which is true." I kick him under the table making him cringe at the pain.

"Was that the part that I would hate?!" He holds up one hand and brings the other to rub his shin.

"No, but this is. You ask Wes to take you out on a pre-date? Then you both act like it's a real date but not really, magically he falls for you!" I laugh at his words while he pays for the food and we leave the diner.

"That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard!" I breathed a laugh at him. We got into his car to drive to the stake park. We get there in no time and stake while making tricks. After some time we stopped and walked under to our tree.

"Why do you think this would work to you?" I laid down on my back picking the grass with my fingers.

"Yeah, I think it's a great idea! What would hurt to try it out?"

"I don't know? Maybe that I could hurt him lying to him like this."

"You do realize you lie to him when you don't tell him you love him, right?" I looked over at his face as he looked up at the sky. He was right in a way but this was lying in a whole other way. I wasn't just lying about, not like him but now I would have to lie about dating someone else. I look back at the sky as while trying to hold my breath so a few minutes.

"I'll think about it..." I said with a soft voice the wind carried the words into the tree above us. We did say anything after that there was no need to really. When I said I would think about it I meant it. So as we sat under the tree while I thought about what he said. What really was there to lose by doing this? In the end, he wouldn't find out about the whole fake dating thing on both sides and the most would happen is that he still would see me as nothing. I would lose nothing if I did this.

Wes could hate you for lying to him.

That was true but what else was there for me to do? I wanted so badly for him to look at me. The only two outcomes to all of this was if he found out he would hate me and I would lose him or he still wouldn't look my way once again losing him to some other girl.

"What the hell! Let's do it!" I said finally after some moments later the sky darkening as he drove me home. Carter jump at the sound of my voice it quite before I had my little shout out. Having recovered from my little shot he smirked at me.

"Ok. Plan B: is being out into action. Take me up to your room. I need to see all the clothes you have."

"Why?"

"Well, if don't want my help then I guess I won't help."

"Fine!" We got to my house in no time making sure to park somewhat down the road so Wes would see Carter leave my house. We walked in noticing along the way that mom was out, probably working late like always. We walked up the steps to my room and Cater went right for my closet. Ripping clothes out of it one by one.

"Yes! This is perfect! Shows a good amount of skin without it being slutty." In his hands was a maxi cool boho print skirt, with a front m-slit. I grabbed it from his hands to get a better look at it.

"No." I throw it on the floor then sat right down on the bed near the skirt.

"Suck it up, Par! No, nos!" I shut my mouth taking a deep breath through my nose.

"Fine, but I don't like it."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He mumbled throwing a coffee colored knitted crop top, with a scoop neck. Again I held my tongue and watched as he moved to the shoes at the bottom of my closet. He throws a pair of nude ankle strapped four inches stiletto heels with a pointed toe.

"Ok...um...I can't walk in heels." I said under my breath slightly ashamed that girl my age can probably do backflips in heels. Carter chuckled under his breath making me want to kick him in the shin repeatedly until he died.

"What!?" I said through clenched teeth.

"Don't be scared its easy. There not even that tall. You'll be fine if not when you fall I'll catch you and it'll look really romantic. Hopefully, that'll make Wes jealous." I gave a short laugh to his comment.

"Fine, I'll wear this stupid outfit but I'm not going to like it at all." He rolled his eyes at me then he let my walked him to the door. I waved goodbye to him and went to go back to my room to clean the mess he made. After that, I hung up the clothes he told me to wear so I wouldn't ruin it.

I slowly get into bed sheets cool against my soft skin. I look up at my glow in the dark star covered roof thinking about what will happen tomorrow. What would happen if people laugh at me because I wearing such showy clothes? I know I don't have an ugly body but my face isn't that perfect next to some girls in my class. What would Wes do when he sees me? Will he laugh at me? Will he tell me I look silly dressed and change into something else?

"What are you thinking about so hard for?" I look over to the window at the sound of Wes's voice. He moves closer to me; I move the cover so he can get under with me.

"I wasn't thinking, really? More like day dreaming." He opened his arm and without a second thought I moved over to him. He sighs when I reached him that's when I realized that how tensed he was.

"What's wrong?" I look up at him moving my fingers to trace his jawline softly, trying to make him claim.

"I don't want to talk about it. Let's just go to bed, Alex is picking us up tomorrow." Word hit causing an idea to hit me.

"No! Mom's taking me. I want to go by myself. I want people to see me not you guys." Wes said nothing after that so slowly I fell asleep.

I stood in front of the mirror dressed in what Carter told me to wear. I felt silly in this it showed to much of everything. Just as I was about to rip off the crop top mom bursts into the room, shock crosses her face when she sees me.

"Wow! You're one hot chick!" She said giving a cat call. I felt my cheeks go hot at her comment.

"Mom! Don't say it like that! You're my mom!"

"Oh, hush! Now come on I want to do your makeup one last time!" I laughed at her then we both walked to my bathroom.

"There! Done!" I opened my eyes my face had little to no makeup. Giving me a sweet look. My makeup was only a little bit of brown eyeshadow making my green eyes pop out more with light pink lip gloss. I felt like a little girl in grownup clothing but I didn't say that to mom just told her that it was amazing as we got into our car. Well, I tried but I kept tripping over my heels.

Well, here goes nothing!
