And so the deal from hell was done.

Justin suggested to be my own personal trainer, to help me get Alec to like me. He offered to do things like telling me how to act and talk around him. He even went as far as telling me how to dress but I stopped the line there. I took a little offence that he thought the way i dressed effected how Alec felt for me poorly but still, I will dress however i would feel comfortable. No man would change that.

It was kind of like a situation out of The D.U.F.F movie. I was the designated ugly fat friend and he was the asshole trying to make me attractive. I agreed for the sake of trying but we both knew it wouldn't work.

What do i have to lose though? My dignity? Pride? Who cares at this point.

I knew in my head that Alec would never see me as more than a friend but its worth a try. Atleast Justin was actually kind enough to offer to help me woe his twin brother:

The deal wasn't anything special. Personally I believed i wasn't that much of a lost cause that i need someone to tell me how to act, but, he disagreed ofcourse.

As for right now, however, i have school.

Yippee. (Note on my sarcasm)

Personally I don't have anything against school.

If there weren't any teachers and I wouldn't have to wake up so early then i would probably like school.

Yeah, and considering that is never gonna happen, i will continue hating my life until graduation.

I groaned and got out of bed, making my way to my closet.

I put my outfit choice on my bed and walked into the bathroom.

I showered, brushed my teeth straightened my hair before returning back to my room to get dressed.

I debated just showing up to school in my pyjamas but considering its my first day with Justin as my own personal devil on my shoulder, I decided to grab a decent pair of jeans and grey cropped top to look atleast human.

I put on a bit of  make up to finish off my 'trying to look human' look before i took my backpack and made my way down stairs.

For the first time in my whole 17 years of living, i saw my mom making breakfast.

I was ready to have a full blown heart attack at the strange sight before-

"Good morning 'Fie."

-There it is. The devil himself.

I sighed and sat down next to Justin.

I grumbled at him to not call me that again before greeting them both back with a tired 'good morning'.

"Sweetheart, Justin over here offered to drive you to school today." My mom said sweetly as she grinned.

I almost jumped a little in my seat at the overly chipper voice.

Okay, who is this and where is my actual mother?

"Uh, yeah okay." I said with wide eyes. I'd agree to anything this woman would tell me when she has a smile and a knife in her hands.

"Can we leave now? This is scary." I whispered in Justin's ear.

He chuckled and grabbed my hand.

"We will be leaving now Mrs Black. Thank you for breakfast." Justin said politely.

Why is everyone so polite?

"Call me Catherine dear, and okay. Wouldn't want you to be late to school."

I basically ran to Justin's car, snatching my hand away.

My mom being nice is probably scarier than anything else I've seen her do.

Justin laughed as he made his way over to me.

"What was that 'Fie? Scared of your mommy?" Justin teased as he ran a hand through my pin straight hair.

I scowled at him before slapping it away and fixing my hair back into place.

"Weren't you?" I asked him as we got in his car.

"Eh, I'm used to it." He shrugged as we sat down inside his car, clean leather seats cushioning us comfortably. "All mothers love me."

I rolled my eyes at the narcissistic boy and grabbed his aux cord, plugging in my phone without asking and playing the first song on my Spotify.

"Complain about it and i'll kill you." I warned him, when i saw his mouth start opening. He lifted a hand up in surrender and brought it to his lips to make a zipping up motion before placing it back on the steering wheel to drive.

"Did you have any girlfriends back in New York?" I suddenly asked him, remembering the Instagram comment i saw when i stalked his profile.

"Why, are you jealous?" He asked as he wiggled his eyebrows.

I scoffed and crosse my arms.

"Me? Of you?" I asked him. "I'd rather drown in a pool of vomit."

He just rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I've had a few i guess. I mean, look at me." He said cockily, referring to my earlier question.

I slapped the back of his head.

"Hey!" He said, caught off guard. "No attacking the driver!"

"Well then stop being so damn arrogant you butthole." I said as i crossed my arms again.

"Butthole? Really? Is it so hard so say 'ass'? Come on princess."

"First of all, never call me princess again. And secondly I'll say ass when I want, don't tell me what to do."

"You just said it though. Dumbass." Justin said under his breath.

I slapped his arm as he laughed and continued driving.

<><><><>

"Alright. Princess, you have just arrived hell. Now get out of my car." Justin joked as he shooed me out.

I huffed out a finally and got out of the car, Justin soon following after me.

He sighed and put on his sun glasses.

"Gotta look good for the ladies." He smirked as he ran a hand through his hair and pulled his glasses down so he could wink at a girl that walked past us.

"Oh shut up." I said as i stole his sunglasses and messed up his hair.

I put his sunglasses on and walked away.

"Was that necessary?" He scoffed as he ran a hand through his hair again.

"Yes." I deadpanned.

"Why?" He asked as he furrowed his eyebrows.

I turned around and raised an eye brow.

"So that i could look cool and you can look stupid. Since you are." Was the last thing i said before i winked and walked away.

Of course, he couldn't just let me leave and make me feel satisfied with my very accurate ending line.

He just had to follow me and chime in with his childish insults. We bickered back and forth until we were already halfway through the school building and 5 minutes late to class.

                         <><><><>

So far, Justin wouldn't leave my side at all.

I thought he would just leave once we arrived, but no. He would stay stuck to my hip all day.

Its getting kind of annoying considering i have to see every single girl in this school try to flirt with him all day.

If he thinks he can ruin my day by not leaving me alone, then im going to ruin his fun by chasing away every girl that approaches him.

Fortunately, i could see my next target heading our way, a head full of platinum blonde hair and two other girls behind her. She was obviously beautiful but very caked up with the wrong shade of foundation.

"Hi Justin..." She started as soon as she arrived up to us, placing her hand on his chest. "Welcome back, we've missed you around here."

"Uh thanks?" Justin answered back, slightly confused as he looked my way with a 'do you know who she is?' Type of look. I had to bite my tongue to not laugh at his uncomfortable face.

"I was wondering if tonight you might want to-"

"Im so sorry to interrupt you-" i started, not wanting to give her a chance to ask him out yet. "But i have to warn you, you are not really his type." I was ready to make a joke about him being gay, but immediately realised my mistake when she scoffed my way, offended.

"And who might you be? His dog?" She asked

That was a shitty comeback but okay.

I could hear one of her friends behind her whisper to the other 'more like pig' and the other girl laughed obnoxiously, covering her mouth with her hand.

I straightened my back, uncomfortable at the dig as i wrapped a hand around my stomach.

"Actually-" this time it was her interrupting me.

"What exactly is his type anyway? A fatso like you?" She snickered.

Oh, she went there.

I removed my hand from my stomach. I was way past bimbo bullies making me feel bad about the weight i knew was healthy.

"Babe if you really thought you had any chance with him before, you definitely ruined in as soon as you opened you fat gob," I replied back. She opened her mouth to reply but I interrupted her again. "Scurry off with your minions before i break your face. Or atleast whatever part of it is still real."

She gasped and opened her mouth to say something back when one of her friends placed a hand on her elbow and asked her to leave.

I waved sarcastically at her retreating figure before turning around to my locker and rolling my eyes.

"Bitches." I grumbled.

"Damn princess, didn't think you had that in you." Justin said.

"Stop calling me 'princess'. And get off my damn back, where ever you go, girls like her follow." I mumbled, arranging my books in my locker.

He had a smile on his face as he opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it back as he looked behind me.

"Will you do me a favor?" He asked as he looked down at me.

"Uh-" i frowned as he interrupted me and caged me in with an elbow next to my head.

"Lean into me and laugh as if I said something very funny." He whispered close to my ear.

I tried to not question him and listen to his requests, hesitantly leaning into me with a fake laugh.

He deadpans at me. "That was terrible."

I scoff at him. "Obviously you're giving me no explanation here, i need a scene, a script if you want me to act good-"

He interrupts me by pushing me on the locker .

"Whatever, just wrap your hand around my neck and kiss my cheek." He instructs.

"Uh no-" I interrupted, slightly pushing his face away from my face. "Too far buddy." As if I'd ever kiss his slimy cheek.

"Trust me, it'll be worth it. Just do it." Justin insisted. "I'll buy you froyo."

At that, i raised an eyebrow, debating it.

I sighed before i wrapped my arms around his neck and tried my hardest to avoid direct eye contact.

Guess all it took for me to kiss said slimy cheek is free froyo. You could call this prostitution.

I kissed his cheek softly and pulled away to look at him.

His cheeks were a light shade of pink and his eyes were big.

"I didn't think you would actually do it." He said quietly.

"Then why did you ask me to do it, dumbass?" I asked him, my own face going red with embarrassment.

"Look behind you." He whispered in my ear.

I frowned and turned my head to the side to see Alec watching us with a strange look on his face.

Justin whispered a 'mission accomplished' in my ear as Alec strode towards us, a very confused face accompanying him.

"What the hell was that?" He asked us when he reached his destination. "Are you guys a thing or something?" I was about to say no when Justin wrapped his hand around me waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Yes." He answered for me.

I looked at him, my eyes wide, and have him a questioning look.

This was not the plan! What are you doing dimwit?!

He grinned and whispered lowly; "just go with it."

Asshole.

I though in my mind as i gave him a death glare.

"Is... Everything okay?" Alec asked us.

"Yeah." I said, still glaring at Justin.

"Everything is great." I repeated as i looked at Alec.

<><><><>

I was currently siting in the cafeteria with Elena and Beth.

"So you and Justin have been swapping spit and you thought it wouldn't be a good idea to tell me?! Oh missy you are in big trouble." Beth said as she slapped me across the head.

"When'd you even have the time-"

"Did you pretend to hate him this entire time-"

I widened my eyes at their misunderstanding and shook my head eagerly. "No, thats not- we havent- im not-" we kept interrupting each other back and forth.

"I thought you liked Alec." Elena finally ended the cycle as she stated a little louder.

I widened my eyes at her "Why dont you say that a little louder, i think the Queen of England didn't hear you."

Elena rolled her eyes at me while Beth cackled and raised two fingers up, saying 'yes she did.'

I sighed and explained to them both about what actually is going on.

They're my best friend. I couldn't not tell them.
