"Excuse me- you want me to do a profile?"
"Look- think of it as a promotion- I don't care, but you go to the boy's school across from hers."
"Her?"
The editor handed Jack a photo, it was from a bad angle, the lighting was poor- and it was clearly taken from a great distance and zoomed in. Jack reached a hand back and scratched his head through long brown hair. "Kotobuki Tsumugi…"
"She's been rather hard to spot for years, her father runs a corporation that controls half the shops at the local mall, her father's worth at least three billion American Dollars."
"So why am I being given this assignment, and why now…?"
"Why now is because she finally seems to have a close group of friends, she's joined a club called the Light Music Club, and they seem to be a band, they preformed at their school festival last year, and are set to perform for the freshman at the end of the week."
"Okay- now why me?"
The editor had an evil grin that defined creepy… "You're the only one that'll fit in this," he held up a uniform for the school.
"You've got to be shitting me?"
Look we're not asking you to actually pretend to be a student- it's even cleared with the school- sort of… we just need you to blend until you meet her."
Jack just stared for a moment. "Sort of? And why all the cloak and dagger?"
"Because her father has stopped every reporter so far, once the article is in print, as long as it's true there's no legal course he can take."
"So that brings me back to sort of?"
"If you're caught, talk to the vice principle and she'll cover your escape…"
"This is making me feel soo much better," he grumbled…
"Just go to the concert, decide then if you want the assignment, if you do that much, I won't have any problem if you back out."
"In drag…"
"In drag."
"All the things I do for a measly By Line," he mumbled as he started to walk off-
"Jack!"
"What?"
The editor chucked the school-girl uniform at him, "You'll need this…"
