Fake it Till You Love Me
Reputation is more like a currency in Minerva's high. But ‘perfect’ Vienne Reyes seem to be going bankrupt recently, especially since her boyfriend chose to humiliate her by through a public breakup.
As though that wasn't enough, he got together with her spiteful ex-best friend who would do anything to get her trampled on.
Beautiful, good grades, perfect social standing, big family name, but these all seem to be mocking her after Ryan Knox broke up with her and gave the elite students of Minerva's high school chance to gossip about her.
Mortification and emotional disruption had lead her to the club where she got ‘entangled’ with a boy and the scene got captured.
Key in Damon Calloway; blunt, cold and nonchalant. One of the school's brooding scholarship kid and basketball star who wouldn't want to have anything to do with the elite kids and their drama; infact he looks down on them even with his tanking grades.
Vienne wouldn't back down with a fight; she wants her boyfriend back, hence the fake-dating proposal with Calloway as a result of the pictures.
Fake dates, hangouts, pictures, and all in exchange for tutorial sessions.
Through snide remarks, playful bants, jabs, inevitable proximities, no one knew when the line between fake and reality began to get blurry.
Gossips, aristocrats, schemes, romance, twists and secrets, would the two be able to get through?
‘
Ryan was looking over? Was he really?
Right at the moment, I could truly feel the heat of his gaze on the back of my neck.
“Is he still looking?”
“Yeah”
I adjusted my hair, not knowing why I was getting unnecessarily giddy. “I don't have a food scrap on my lips right? Do I look pretty enough?”
A few seconds passed before his deep low voice rasped out. “Gorgeous…” ‘

Chapter: 44. Unwanted presence and SandwichesVIENNE'S POV The school was over. I took my time, walking down the stairs at the school's entrance in relief and unrestrained pride. My cellphone in my hand as I scrolled through the school's group; it was still blowing up with flagger blasted students triggered by Janet's earlier confession.From the corner of my eye, I could see Alex standing, his hands in his pocket as he…waited? I don't know, but I gritted my teeth in annoyance looking and moving away.My lips twitched at the turnout of things and Mrs Ray's frustration at what she has to deal with concerning her class' students lately. I'm grateful though.“I'm beginning to think you're intentionally avoiding me.” A voice sneered behind me and I didn't even need to turn around; I've grown to recognize Grace's voice. I rolled my eyes, turning to look at her while crossing my arms across my chest.“I should be the one asking you something like that. Tch. I've not been seeing you around. Are you skipping school now?” I accused sourl

Chapter: 43. voice note.VIENNE'S POVBurning.My face was burning. From heating up.Guess it's the warmth from the embrace.“Let me give it, okay?” Damon shamelessly continued and that had me jerking up. I slapped off his hand but his arm was still loosely wound up around me. I was still considering yanking off his muscular arm when he spoke lowly to my hearing alone.“Come on. Your ex-boyfriend is watching. Don't make this awkward.”I scrunched up my nose in disapproval. “You're lying Calloway. You're just using that as an excuse to feel me up , aren't you? Tch” I accused , finally getting out of his arm, which earned me a dark chuckle from him. The amusement in the sound could not be overlooked.“You're quite a pro in using people, y'know.” He raised a brow while his eyes unhurriedly roamed all over my body. “And I don't even need to feel you up with my hands.” He walked away with his bottle water.This guy's got guts…I was about to walk away when I paused in my tracks, staring at Ryan who stood by the en

Chapter: 42. My girlfriend wants a hugVIENNE POVI sat rigidly on my seat.Heart racing.Class empty.And obviously not in the mood for any lunch. No one in their sane mind and in my situation would have an appetite to eat. I let out another big exhale as a plan begins to form in my head already. If eventually this goes south, I wouldn't go down alone; Amelia would have a taste of the burn. I might not be able to prove it but she definitely has a hand in this whole mess.I threw a gaze at my phone on the table without touching it. The device was blowing up again and I wondered what could have triggered the students of Minerva's high on the group again. The notification was going on non-stop and I was tempted to check the group. But I won't, now is not the time to do that.The class door opened and a girl walked in with her head down. Julia? Judith?Something like that.She made some awkward eye contact with me before looking away, uncomfortably rubbing her arm and walking to her seat. It was subtle but I wouldn't miss the

Chapter: 41. You3rd person's POVAmelia gritted her teeth as she stared at the text message on her phone's screen.Just two words, but it seemed to hold more power over her.‘Time’s counting’The sender was unknown and she doesn't even have the time to start fishing out who the hell it was to have that video.“Shit!” She cursed as her eyes burned with resentment while frantically bitting at her fingernails.Who's it? Vienne? She looked too confident just this morning as though everything is under control…With a frustrated huff, Amelia checked the time again and was about to let out another string of curses when she heard footsteps. She watched impatiently as Jane carefully walked over and she sneered.“We don't have all day for your catwalk Jane. Get over her and let's fix your slip-up”. She snapped already shifting the blame as fast as she could.Her statement had only thrown the other girl into brief confusion but she walked over nevertheless.“You _ You asked to meet _” she didn't finish talking

Chapter: 40. Solo TestVIENNE'S POV‘suit yourself, stalker ‘_ DamonI scoffed while staring at the response I got from Calloway last night. I have been getting associated with such an address since I started getting involved with him. He's got guts. He must think so high of himself.“We're here, Miss.” The driver announced to me as the car pulled over before the school entrance. I looked away from the phone's screen, putting it away; there are more serious issues to handle right now.“Thank you. I'll call you.” I breathed out to my driver before opening the door and alighting.There were still whispers from the students; some even had it in them to start pointing right after getting out of the car with their friends. All the best.Hmph!Nothing would deter me from strolling into the school's grounds today with my head held up high in some unnecessary pride. Today, the final decision on what to do next about my issue would be made, that's what dad said.I had just taken a step when a black Audi A4 pulled ov

Chapter: 39. Cheap Ploy in A VideoDAMON'S POV.Disturbing.It was disturbing.I groaned out in annoyance once more and for the upteenth time this evening while carefully throwing my phone to my bed.Of course, I got back to my apartment early and before the closing hour for no apparent reason and I've been waiting for Dawn's arrival for the past two hours. I made my way to my table's drawers as I picked a cigarette, lighting it and taking a long, single drag in. Picking my cellphone again, I walked over to the tiny balcony by my window side. Taking my time to open my phone, I went over the video I have been watching over and over again.I let a low, dark chortle rumble out of my chest in a sinister amusement.“Isn't that girl crazy?”Of course she's bat shit crazy.It was unbelievable. And this is another reminder to me of how Minerva's high can be sickening. They'd swallow you whole if you're not careful enough.Amelia-fucking-Dawn is quite vile. I remarked mentally once more as I watched the video on my device.It
