Be My Girlfriend

Plot
After being asked hundreds of times if he has a girlfriend yet, Damien is not looking forward to going him for break. So he asks Fauve for one small favor and this is what results.

Chapter one
" whoop-de-doo." Damien grumbled as he noticed what tomorrow was. Tomorrow was the first day of a two week long break, where they only had to worry about a few homework assignments, and the rest of the time could just do whatever they wanted.

Which was great, actually. At home he had some of a break from stopping Julia's schemes, all the while pretending he admired Julia. But there was one problem.

His mother. Celia. Celia had finally started paying more attention to him, in that she always called him at least once a day to ask if he had a girlfriend yet, or if he had at the very least been on a date. He knew she was just going to chew his ear off about it more once he got home. He didn't think he could handle two weeks of that nonstop.

"Something wrong?" Larkin asked as he packed his stuff for break.

Damien debated not telling him. But then he figured Larkin was as skilled in the art of schemes as Julia was, only Larkin never used the skills for bad. So maybe he'd have an idea. Damien told him.

"Solution is simple." Larkin said, surprising Damien. "Bring someone, just for a few days. Your mother can't demand you date someone if you pretend you already are."

"Who'd do that and not get the wrong idea?" Damien asked, mentally running through a list of girls he knew. There was Luna, but Luna was mean, and also Julia's "friend", so that was a no.

There was Opal. Opal was pretty, sweet, and helpful, so actually she'd be a good choice...if she wasn't already dating Larkin. Julia knew Opal and Larkin were basically the power couple of the school and would instantly know something was up if she pretended to be dating Damien. And Julia most likely wouldn't keep that a secret.

That left...he gulped when he realized. Fauve. Fauve Wilder, the very girl who he had had a crush on through middle school, though had been trying to give up on the crush since they got to highschool.

Fauve was sweet. She was beautiful, she was smart, she was caring, she was...actually perfect for this. But what if getting a few days of what he had wanted since he was younger, Fauve as his girlfriend, made all those feelings he'd been trying to bury resurface again?

He was getting ahead of himself, there was no guarantee that she would even want to help him with his plan. He'd ask her for help, and if she wanted to, then great! If she didn't want to, then he could just endure the two weeks of nagging from his mother. Honestly, he liked it better when she didn't pay attention to any aspect of his life!
