"Is This Your Girlfriend?"

Hailee's View

"So I called Y/n and she said she refuses to go out with you again. Tell me how your date went." Ethan says.

"She walked out." I say.

"Why?" Ethan asks.

"She started something she couldn't finish." I say.

"Hailee, I need you to act like an adult..." Ethan says.

"She started it!" I say.

"I don't care who started it. Y/n is your golden ticket to your album succeeding so I need you to play nice. Lick the bottom of her foot if she asks you to." Ethan says.

"Are you serious?!" I ask.

"Yes, which is why I need you to apologize to her for whatever you said." He says.

"That's like selling my soul to the Illuminati, I'm not doing that!" I say.

"Well what did you say to her?" He asks.

"I said she was a self-absorbing person and she got upset. So I mentioned how she let her dad die because she refused to fund his chemo treatment, despite her being a millionaire." I say.

"Oh..." He says.

"What?" I ask.

"Yeah, you need to apologize. Not even from a publicity standpoint." He says.

"For what? Did she not do that?" I ask.

"Y/n and her siblings didn't know her dad had cancer. He and her mom didn't tell her because they didn't want them to worry. When she did find out, it was too late." Ethan says.

"Are you serious?" I ask.

"Yes! The claim that she knew has been debunked multiple times." Ethan says.

"Yeah... I gotta apologize..." I say.

"You think?" Ethan asks.

Time Skip

I knock on the door and Y/n opens it a few seconds later.

She shuts it and I groan. I knock again and she opens it.

"What do you want?" Y/n asks.

"I wanna apologize. I didn't know that wasn't true. I didn't know that he never told you. I'm sorry." I say.

"It's cool." Y/n says.

"We're good?" I ask.

"Not until you apologize for everything else you've said these last 7 years." Y/n says.

"Won't happen. Nothing I said was ever unwarranted." I say.

"Good you know you still wanna play the victim." Y/n says.

Y/n shuts the door and I roll my eyes.

I really wanna know what that women's problem with me is.

Time Skip

"How do you feel about going to a basketball game?" Ethan asks.

"Why would I do that?" I ask.

"Y/n's going to a game and I think it'll be great for you two to attend as a couple." Ethan says.

"So you seriously want me to go through with this?" I ask.

"Yes! It's already proven to be effective, you two were number one on Twitter's trending page." Ethan says.

"You'll go to the game then get dinner." Ethan says.

I sigh and nod.

"Fine." I say.

Ethan cheers and I roll my eyes.

4 hours later...

I glance at Y/n and see her biting her nails.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask.

"I bet a lot of money on this game." Y/n says.

"But if I call you a gambling addict-" I say.

"Shh." Y/n says.

I roll my eyes and player 20 walks into the court.

"15 seconds... Sabrina please save us." Y/n mumbles, covering her face with her hands.

The whistle blows and number 20 runs to the other end of the court. She dodges 17 and shoots the ball. The buzzer goes off and the ball goes in the net.

Everyone cheers and Y/n widens her eyes.

"Thank god!" Y/n says looking up.

"I love you Sabrina!" Y/n shouts.

Number 20 smiles and waves.

"So how much did you win?" I ask.

"150K." Y/n says.

"What?!" I ask.

"Always bet on 20." Y/n says.

"Let's go so we can get this over with." I say.

"Wait." Y/n says as 20 jogs over.

"How are you?!" Number 20 asks hugging Y/n.

"I'm good." Y/n says.

"Is this your girlfriend?" She asks.

Y/n sighs and nods.

"Hailee, this is Sabrina. Sabrina this is Hailee." Y/n as we shake hands.

"You guys look cute." Sabrina says.

I laugh nervously and Sabrina smiles.

"Imma see you in Seattle." Y/n says.

"You're gonna come to the game?!" Sabrina asks.

"I gotta cheer my team on." Y/n says.

Sabrina smiles and they hug again.

"I'll see you there." Sabrina says.

Y/n smiles and Sabrina walks away.

"That was so uncomfortable." I say.

"Oh, please. You should be honored to be associated with me." Y/n says.

I gag and Y/n rolls her eyes.

Time Skip; Y/n's View

"How'd dinner go?" Steven asks.

"Other than the usual insults, pretty good." I say.

"Okay, did you tell Sabrina Ionescu that you were dating Hailee?" Steven asks.

"Yeah, we're super close. Was I not supposed to?" I say.

"Perfect! I only asked because she mentioned it in her post game interview." Steven says.

"What?" I ask.

He holds up his index finger and types on his laptop. He turns his laptop towards me and presses the space bar.

"I seen you talking to 5StarY/n shortly after the game. What's going on with that? Are you guys friends?" Chloe says.

"At this point, yeah. She always comes out to the games and always shows support, I love that kid. She introduced me to her girlfriend before they left." Sabrina says.

"Who? Hailee?" Chloe asks.

"Yeah, I mean, I thought they hated each other's guts, but hey, what do I know?" Sabrina says.

"This clip is going viral because everyone is starting to believe that you two are really a couple." Steven says after pausing the video.

"Okay, so?" I ask.

"You're going to the Surfey's tonight, I need you and Hailee to attend together." Steven says.

"Fuck no!" I say.

"Come on! This is the final stretch to really making this believable." Steven says.

"When I signed a record deal and the ripe age of 17, I never expected that my life would turn into a Wattpad fanfic." I say.

"In the fan fics they always end up together." Steven says.

"Why do you know that?" I ask.

"How old do you think I am? I wasn't a teenager that long ago." Steven says.

"Coulda fooled me." I say.

Steven frowns and I chuckle.
