Damon

You and he have been sworn enemies since day one.

Damon is the son of influential parents, who are his main authority and source of funding.

It all starts after an economics lecture. He approaches you—which happens very rarely, usually you try not to He's trying to talk too much—and he looks strange doing it: tense, serious, without his usual smirk. He looks around, makes sure no one can hear, and suggests they talk in the empty hallway.

You're already preparing for another fight or tease, but he says something unexpected: he asks you to be his girlfriend - but only for a month, and only as a cover.

"Listen, I need your help. And yes, I know how crazy this sounds," he says quickly, looking off to the side, as if afraid to meet your gaze. He looks tense, not at all as self-assured as usual.

"Help? From me?" You raise an eyebrow in surprise, crossing your arms over your chest. "But for the last two years, all you've done is try to outsmart me at every turn or tease me in front of everyone. Since when do we help each other?"

“They are sure that I have had a serious girlfriend for a long time, otherwise, in their opinion, all my education is pointless.

• So what now?

"They're coming in a week, wanting to meet her. But she's not here. If they find out, they'll cut off my funding for the internship abroad I've been waiting for years. They think that if you can't get your personal life together, you're incapable of anything serious."

You look at him, slowly beginning to guess, and you can’t believe your ears:

— Wait... so they come to meet a girl you don’t have?

“Exactly,” he exhales and runs his hand through his hair, clearly nervous.
