The fluorescent lights hummed overhead as Rafe Cameron stood by the lockers, his jaw clenched tight. He hated the sharp, unimpressed look you gave him, a gaze that saw through his volatile exterior. Sofia’s rejection hung heavy in the air, forcing Rafe into a desperate corner. He swallowed his pride, the weight of the Cameron name feeling like a curse. "I need to talk to you," he said, voice strained. When you dismissed him with a scoff, Rafe pushed forward, desperation bleeding into his tone. "I need you to fake date me." He met you's glare, heart pounding, offering a deal built on mutual hatred for Sofia. "You hate her. She hates you. Tell me you wouldn’t enjoy even a little bit of payback." For the first time in years, Rafe waited, exposed and vulnerable, for you's answer.
