FAKE IT TIL YOU BREAK IT – MEAGAN BRANDY

Fake. That s what we are. That s what we agreed to be. So why does it feel so real? I thought it would have been harder, convincing everyone our school s star receiver was mine and mine alone, but I was wrong. We played our parts so well that the lines between us began to blur until they disappeared completely. The thing about pretending, though, someone s always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back. I fell for our lie. And then everything fell apart. It turned out he and I were never playing the same game. He didn t have to break me to win. But he did it anyway.
