Recap: A foreign exchange student has started attending at Seiso. When Sayaka found out who it was, she was shocked to see her cousin, Cyrus Austin, who just came from Britain. Sayaka doesn't want to get close to him since he always put her in heaps of trouble. During a volleyball game, Sayaka sprained her left foot due to Cyrus's distraction so he brought her to the nurse's office. Later, Sayaka went to see Len which Cyrus saw and it made him a little lonely. This episode is entitled: "Let's play pretend!"



It's been almost a week since Cyrus started attending Seiso academy. Sayaka's routine hasn't changed a bit. The usual, she wakes up, go to school, practice violin after school, then go home. Currently at school, "Soooo tired...." Her head fell flatly on her desk. "Are you alright? Nakashima-san? You seem to be very tired... and lacking in sleep." A classmate was worried, even though they're not that close. She raised her head up and showed her big eye bags. "I almost didn't get a wink of sleep last night! That Cyrus kept ringing on my phone!" She complained. Her classmates just laughed and thought that it was sweet of Cyrus to always check up on her.

"Sayaka sweetie, did you receive my e-mails?" He jumped out of the crowd of girls and stood by the front of her. She shrieked because she was being idle and the next thing she knows, Cyrus is yipping so loudly at her face. "Will you stop sending me your e-mails full of cheesy lines! And stop calling me in the middle of the night!" She angrily demanded. The girls gasped. "What?! Why does Nakashima-san always receive e-mails and phone calls from you Cyrus-kun?! It's not fair!" The girls were lonely by the thought of a mere girl stealing their idol. "Don't worry ladies! There's a lot of me to go around!" (Sparkles all around him^_-) Cyrus smirked and flipped his hair which made the girls squeal. "That jerk! Still full of childish fantasies!" Sayaka just shook her head then left him with business.

Lunch time, "Hi guys! Can I sit here?" She was carrying a tray loaded of appetizing foods. "Sure! Why not?" Kazuki gave her a cute, but dorky smile. "Wow! Saya-chan has so many delicious treats! Do you mind if I have some?" Kazuki's mouth was watering. "Of course! help yourself Hihara-senpai!" She was giggling while looking at the oh so childlike Kazuki. "How's your cousin, Sayaka? Is he adjusting well here in Seiso?" Azuma courteously asked. "Don't ask me about him. He's not my responsibility." After answering, someone from behind handed her a can of iced tea.

"Here! For you, my sweet! I've opened it for you too. I know it's your favorite!" It was Cyrus who handed her the drink she's been longing to buy this morning. She was reluctant at first but she can't help the sweet temptation of the cold beverage. "Aw alright, give it to me!" She snatched it swiftly away from his hand and drank it. "Actually, I've already drank from it! So it's like an indirect kiss, right?!" Cyrus gave a big grin and a thumbs up. Kazuki, Azuma and Haruka surprisedly looked at the Sayaka. While drinking it, she was stupefied. She spat it out and rubbed her lips so hard. "Gross! Eew! Yuck! AAaaaahhhhh...." She was screaming ridiculously.

"I was just kidding! And until now, I still got the best of you!" He was snickering so hard and was almost rolling on the floor. She glared at him with gritted teeth and closed fist. "Why you little.....You are so toast!" She grabbed his polo and made sure that he won't escape. He, in return, raised both his hands in defense. "Easy girl! Sorry, sorry! I won't do it again!" He was still giggling though. "You better not. If you did, I'll make sure that you're a dead man by sunset." She threatened, emptily. The three (With anime sweat drops) were just looking at them with blank expressions on their faces.

It was free period time, since the teachers had an unexpected meeting. "Yay!!! Free period rocks!!!" Kazuki jumped and punch in the air. "Keep it down Kazuki. The teachers are having their meeting next door." Azuma shushed him. "Hey! Azuma, Kazuki! Have you seen Sayaka anywhere?!" It was Cyrus calling their attention from afar while yelling and waving at them. Both guys thought it was so informal of him to call them by their first names when he barely knows them. But they let it go anyway since he was used to doing it in their country. "Nope, sorry! Try asking Shiguchi-san." Kazuki gave him a friendly advice. "Who's Shiguchi?" Cyrus was sure dull. "It's Haruka-san..." Azuma informed. "Oh! I see thanks!" He saluted at them with two fingers.

"Sayaka! I found you at last!" Cyrus was so glad that he found her after asking Haruka. "Oh no! It's that moronic maniac! Tsukimori-kun, hide me!" She hid behind Len, and was clinging on his back. "Sayaka... I know you're there." Cyrus said with half-closed eyes and with crossed arms. "Drats!" She whispered. "What do you want now?!" She came out from behind Len. "Can I ask you a favor?" He bowed his head. When Cyrus told her everything, Len was pretending not to hear the conversation, although he heard it crystal clear. She was so infuriated. "You're crazy! Not in your wildest dreams, punk! I don't want to be a part of your girl-catching scheme! And you call yourself a 'ladies' man'." She pushed him away. "I only need you to pretend to be my girlfriend. Please! Don't worry! If I capture her heart, I will break up with you." He confidently suggested. "No way! I'll be the one to break up with you!" She opposed.

"So does that mean you agree?!" He held her cheeks. "If Cyrus will have a girlfriend, then that means he'll be too busy to disturb me! SWEET!!!" She was quietly thinking and was laughing villainously. "As long as you know your limits pal. Then I guess it's okay." She raised her shoulders. "SCORE! I mean... That's good!" He hugged her tight. "Worry not! It's strict business. Nothing more." Len did felt a little disturbed about it. She smacked Cyrus's hands off her "Hey! Hands off! I said know your limits!" She smirked. "Who is this girl anyway?!" She was so intrigued.

"Are you kidding?! Not Medusa! (The leader of the three body guards). She's like, my worst enemy!!! She'll turn you to stone!" She was so furious and exaggerated descriptions too. "Don't tell me you're actually jealous…" Cyrus gave her the suspicious stare, she just glared back. "Let's make our first move now!" He pulled her to where the three are. "Now what is he going to do?" Len kept his feelings of anguish all to himself. And as usual, they're with Azuma. They began walking while holding hands, and stood in front of the four. "My sweet, sweet Sayaka... Look at the beautiful Sakuras! They're blooming as pretty as you!" He said filled with endearment. "Uh... yeah... and I…errr… like the way you say those... cheesy... lines you hotshot, you? ahaha..." She wasn't comfortable about the whole plan and kept stuttering. She pulled his ear then whispered , "Will you cut it out... your lines are making me sick, think of something better!" While whispering she didn't notice that Azuma was looking at her.

"I didn't know that you two were dating…" Azuma was curious. "Aaaaahhhh!!!! Azuma-kun! It isn't what you think it is Its jus-" Cyrus covered her mouth. "Weirdos...." The girls whispered to each other and laughed. "Forgive my Sayaka... She's just too shy to admit that we're dating for a long time now..." He boasted. "I see.... I guess we'll leave you two then, to give you privacy I mean... " Azuma walked away, and the three followed his every step.

On their way home, "I hate his plan. It's like I'm totally being taken advantage of!" (Flames around her) "Calm down Sayaka-senpai. Aren't you happy that your dear cousin has found the love of his life?" , "I am... but seriously, I just get irritated whenever he's acting all sweet with me..." She said with a lonely tone. "That's good. What's not to like about that? He's a naturally sweet person after all." Haruka gave her opinion. "He's just too clingy! And it's giving me the shivers!"

"Saya-chan! Are you really going out with that guy?" Kazuki ran after the two of them. "No! It's just pretend. He's just trying to capture the girl of his dreams..." Even though Sayaka sounds so assuring, he can't help it but feel uneasy. "Or maybe he really has feelings for you...." He quietly said. "What was that Hihara-senpai?" Sayaka didn't hear it well. "Uh.... It's nothing... Never mind" He was scratching his head and shrug it off. Haruka heard it clearly and noticed something different about the way Kazuki reacted. "Hihara-senpai… Could it be that...you also?" Haruka can see through him very well.
