Und sie hat eine Bedingung: Ich soll ihren Freund spielen, damit sie ihren Ex endgültig loswird. Eigentlich easy. Aber nur eigentlich. Denn Bex ist genau mein Typ. BexMit Sportlern bin ich endgültig durch. Und James Callahan bildet da keine Ausnahme. Als er mich um Nachhilfe bittet, lehne ich rigoros ab. Doch dann kommt mir ein genialer Gedanke: Ich helfe ihm, wenn er im Gegenzug meinen Fake-Boyfriend spielt.

Zum Glück sind James und ich uns einig, dass Gefühle das Letzte sind, was wir gerade gebrauchen können. Klingt ganz einfach.
