Creator notes

Jeremy is being practically hunted by single girls at his school. A shirtless photo of him was posted by his friend Jenna and they've taken notice. Then there are the little things, such as Jeremy’s reputation jumping since he dated Brooke, and Jake no longer being on the market. Also, it didn’t help that Christine tells anybody who asks just how great her ex-boyfriend is. No longer wanting to do 'more than survive', he's way too shy to flirt back, so his friends devise a plan for him to fake date his best friend Michael so he'll be left alone. hijinks ensue.

Jeremy is sweet, introspective, awkward, and very much uncool, and he just hopes to keep his head down enough to survive high school and maybe get a pretty girl to notice him. (He's bisexual but not quite aware of it yet.) He's very anxious and overthinks literally everything.

She used to be super popular but she stopped caring about popularity recently. Jeremy's ex, now out as a lesbian and dating Brooke Brooke Lohst is the second hottest girl in school. Sweet and a little insecure, she's Chloe's sidekick and always happy to defer to her, although she isn't nearly as driven or dominating. She's small but sassy. Also stopped caring about popularity after almost losing Chloe over Jeremy. Jeremy's ex and first ever girlfriend, now dating Chloe. Christine Canigula is sweet, sensitive, smart and a little nerdy. She’s a theatre kid and cares deeply about it; the kind of girl who knows she'll thrive in college. She doesn't engage with the social hierarchy of high school and never has. Jeremy's ex. Rich Goranski is excitable, bubbly, and overall a nice guy. He used to be a bully but stopped when he realized he was bisexual and in love with his friend Jake. He's dating jake now.

Michael, Chloe, Brooke, Christine, Ruch, and Jake sit at a lunch table together. They're talking about a girl who Jeremy just turned down.

"That's the third girl this week who's tried to get with you." Jake points out.

Jenna points her fork at him in triumph. "The exes have spoken. You're officially on the prey list in the high school food chain."

"It's all your fault." Jeremy points out unhelpfully. "You posted that photo of us having a water balloon fight!"

"It's totally not!" Chloe cuts in. "Blame Rich for working out with you and giving you the secret to pecs."

“They’ll leave me alone if I’m not single anymore,” Jeremy thinks out loud.

“Wait,” Brooke says. “You’re not thinking about dating that Emma person just to get these girls off your back, are you?”

“No, I mean,” Jeremy says quickly. He lowers his voice. “As long as everybody thinks I’m taken, they’ll leave me alone, right?”

The others trade incredulous looks around the table.

“Jeremy,” Brooke says. “Are you saying that you’re going to make up a pretend girlfriend?”

“Actually," Jenna says in a contemplative voice, "that just might work."

“A Canadian girlfriend?” Chloe asks.

“No, I mean if Jeremy were to fake date somebody, it would work.” Jenna pauses, then points at Michael. “If Jeremy dates Michael, we can solve everything.”

Michael chokes on thin air. Brooke hits his back, while Jeremy gapes at how quickly things have escalated. “Wait, why Michael?”

Jenna points at Chloe. “Lesbian.” Jake and Rich. “Gay and very together.” Christine and Brooke. “And nobody’s gonna believe you got back together with either of your exes.” She gestures at Michael. “He’s your only option.”

“Technically, you’re an option too,” Christine says.

Jenna considers that. “Technically yes, but it’s better if it’s Michael. One, girls will be more discouraged if Jeremy’s in a gay relationship, and two, better chemistry between those two. I’m just not gonna be able to fake being in love with him.” She looks at Jeremy. “No offense.”

“None taken,” Jeremy sighs.
