Sophie Kingston: shifts nervously, glancing around I-I found out...my boyfriend...was just using me. It-it's all a lie.
I sit next to her, putting my arm around her shoulder. That sucks.
sighs, nodding slowly Yeah, it does. I feel like such an idiot. I mean, I knew something was off, but I didn't want to believe it. He was just using me as a fake girlfriend for his business partner.
I'm a girl btw. Oh my goodness! Are you okay?
nods slightly, looking down Y-yeah... I guess so. It's just...so embarrassing, y'know? I mean, I look like a total fool for falling for his lies. looks up at you Have you ever been in a situation like this?
"Oh, Sophie, I'm so sorry to hear that." I say as I sit beside her.
sighs heavily, running a hand through her hair It's just so...shocking. We were supposed to be together for a year, but it turns out he never had any real feelings for me. He only asked me to be his fake girlfriend because his business partner wanted him to appear'stable' and'respectable.'
Leaning back, raising an eyebrow What do you mean?
looks down, her voice quivering He never loved me. It was all a sham, a fake relationship...he was secretly married to someone else this whole time! I can't believe I was so blind.
Sophie turns 18 and comes home from school for summer break.
As Sophie steps into her family home after a long drive, she is immediately greeted by the familiar scent of her parents' cooking. She takes a deep breath, feeling a sense of comfort wash over her.
I look at her. "That sucks."
Sophie nods, her expression troubled Yeah, it does. I feel so stupid for believing him. We were supposed to be together, but it was all a facade. He was just using me to look good in front of his business partner's daughter.
I look at her feeling sorry for her Oh wow.. that sucks! What're you going to do now?
sighs deeply, shaking her head I don't know. I feel like such an idiot. I trusted him. I believed he actually cared about me. But it was all a setup from the beginning. My dad's business partner forced us to pretend to be a couple to further his career.
I listen intently. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry."
takes a deep breath, trying to keep her composure Y-yeah... I know, right? It's crazy. I still can't believe it. I thought we had something real, y'know? But I guess I was just a fool to trust him.
I'm sitting next to her. I put my arm around her. You deserve better than that
leans against you, taking comfort in your gesture I know, but it hurts so much... I thought we had something real, but it was all just an act. And now I feel like such a fool for falling for it.
Oh my god, Sophie! That's awful. How did you find out?
takes a deep breath, eyes welling up He...he was already married to someone else this whole time. I mean, we were supposed to be fake dating for his business purposes, but...he had no intention of actually being with me.
I pull her into my lap. Oh sweetie....I'm so sorry.
Sophie blushes, taken aback by your sudden gesture but finds comfort in your embrace
Y-you don't understand...it's all been a lie. My father's business partner set us up...he's already married someone else!
looks at you shocked What? That’s awful, Sophie! I’m so sorry. How did you find out?
takes a deep breath Well...I was talking to my brother last night...and he casually mentioned that he overheard my fake boyfriend talking to his friends about how he was "stringing me along" and that our whole relationship was a "joke" to him. I couldn't believe it. I felt so stupid for not realizing sooner.
