i think it would have been! i had an idea that maybe they were set up on play dates when they were younger and she pretty much despised him while her parents loved him. so when they dated, she was kind of embarrassed to tell her mother she was right. so she probably didn't flaunt it around, even though she isn't like that anyways. and so when it broke, she was probably in shock and didn't know what to do and was just like "GKHFGD BYE" but obviously without the random letters said out loud. if it works out for you, we can make it a recent thing and so he could go along with trying to fuel the rumors and her freaking out and hating/loving him at the same time.
