Title: Pretending
Author: Paris BYK
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of Blake holsey high, im just
borrowing them to write this, which by the way is my first fic of them.
Pairing: Josie/Vaughn
Josie Trent was furious. She didn't know who she was angrier at, Vaughn Pearson, for betraying her, or herself, for hurting Lucas feelings knowing he was the one saving the day, again. She cared a lot about him that was for sure, but she couldn't return his feelings. He liked her as more than a friend, and she felt really well that he worried about her that much, but to be honest to herself, she only had one guy in mind: Vaughn. She knew he had betrayed her by not telling her his father had that silver ball she was looking for so desperately, and he even cancelled their date to go to him and play with it! Yeah, their date. Weird word for Josie Trent, she never thought of the word date as something else than hanging out with a friend or something, but it was different. Vaughn and her had been getting pretty close the past weeks, and her feelings were starting to surface. She didn't want to admit it, but she had a thing for him, and even with all her anger, she still thought of him.
"Hey Josie.. are you there??" Lucas asked the redhead. Then Josie remembered. She was gonna show Lucas the silver ball she hid under her bed. She tried a nodding and bended to get it. After a couple of minutes of searching everywhere, including under her bed and several times inside the jar, she started to desperate.
"Oh god.. no.. it was here! Damn!! Where is it???????" Josie yelled helplessly. Lucas looked at the girl as his eyes widened trying to understand what the hell she was talking about. One moment she had asked him to go to her room to show him something, and the next one she was yelling around and acting nuts.
"Josie, Josie! Calm down... tell me, what is exactly what we are searching? Maybe you left it somewhere else.. look at this, you cant possibly find anything in this mess..." Lucas tried helping but that didn't work out. Josie was now passing insanity. She was walking around, not going anywhere and waving her hands in desperation. Then it hit her.
"DAMN IT!!! Vaughn!!!" She screamed as she left the room. Lucas couldn't help sighing. He hated when she spoke about Vaughn. He didn't know why, but he didn't like their relationship at all. No, he did know why. Because he wanted her for him.

Vaughn was lying on his bed, arms behind his neck just staring at the ceiling. He was so angry. He wanted to talk to Josie but instead she had chosen Lucas to spend time with. He was trying so hard to think of something else, something that wouldn't make him feel so mad. Just when he was about succeeding on it, he heard a strong knocking. He didn't feel like chatting with anybody so he just ignored the knocking thing.
"C'mon Vaughn! I know you're in there!" Josie yelled through his door.
"Now the hell im moving." Vaughn said low enough just for him to hear. He wasn't sure if he wanted to talk now. "Hey, if she wants to talk, maybe Lucas can help her..." He thought, one more time hearing the knocking.
"You'll have to open this door eventually! I know you have it and I wont stop until I get it back." Josie said the last sentence calmer. She turned around and saw a bunch of students watching the scene she just had made. Josie didn't care about the staring and went straight to her room, where she found Corrine standing.
"Let me guess, you want me to clean up everything in here, right?" Josie said ironically as she sat on her bed and turned the music on. Really loud.
"Josie! What's the matter with you?" Corrine said exalted. It was enough living with the mess, but the music was one of the things Corrine hated the most when it came to Josie. She cared about her very much, after all they were roommates and best friends, but sometimes she just couldn't get her. Josie acted as she didn't hear anything she had said and started singing low the lyrics of her rock music. Corrine sighed in surrendering and left the room slamming the door as hard as she could. Right in the hallway she found Vaughn talking to Madison about something she couldn't hear, and shot a glare at him. Vaughn clearly saw the girl glaring at him, but he couldn't care less. He looked at Corrine one second and went back talking to Madison as if no one was there.
" Really? So you think I should sign up for the contest? Cause you know how much I hate winning every of them.. it makes the girls around feel uncomfortable and.." Madison tried her best modest eyes as she looked at Vaughn. The guy nodded and forced a smile. He wasn't feeling like smiling, or talking to the girl in front of him as well.
"Yeah.. you do that Madison... Oh.. I forgot, I gotta go to practise, you know how the coach can gets when I don't show up early.. so we'll talk later." Vaughn said finally getting rid of the girl. Madison moaned an " okay." After that she leaned and put a soft kiss on his cheek after giving him a wide smile. Vaughn smiled too and left. Corrine seeing the whole scene. Madison approached her and looked at her with despise.
"Be sure to inform your friend Trent what just happened here.." Madison said with another wide smile and left.

"With this concludes our class..." Professor Zeta announced as he closed his book and looked at his students starting to leave. "Oh wait!! I forgot! Since we're investigating about plants, I thought of you guys doing a project. Anything about them, just make sure its not like the last one two of you did, that one about roses and how to get those spines off... Make it clever please? Readable at least?" Professor Zeta said as he looked at Marshal and Corrine. It was their project he was talking about, the pair didn't have much time to investigate and had resolved to do it the last day, pretty unusual for Corrine, but she didn't have any other choice taking into account she was busy with other projects and didn't take that one serious.
"Its still too late to say we're sorry?" Corrine said softly. She didn't like to be recognised about that at all.
"Actually Corrine, I wouldn't be worried about another project like that, since im pairing you up." Professor Zeta said satisfied. He took out a sheet of paper and started reading.
"Who do you think you'll be with?" Corrine asked Josie in a whisper.
"I know who I don't wanna be with." Josie said as she took a glance at Vaughn.
"C'mon, don't worry, what are the odds?" Corrine assured.
"Josie with Vaughn.." Professor Zeta said as both students looked at each other. After that Josie went back to Corrine.
"Im sorry, you were saying..?" She said ironically as she stood up and approached to Vaughn.
"Emily and Marshal... Lucy and Jonathan... Corrine and Lucas..." Professor Zeta went on saying.
"Well, I guess we can explain Professor Zeta we have issues working together and he'll change us." Josie said as she waited for the man to finish.
"Yeah, lots of them." Vaughn replied in the same cold tone Josie had used before. Professor Zeta came to Josie's calling and looked at the students.
"Ah.. Professor, we sort of need.. not to be together in this project.. we don't work good together." Josie said hesitantly as she shot quick glances at Vaughn who apparently was doing the same.
"Actually Josie, I think you and Vaughn make a great team. So good luck on the project.." Professor Zeta abandoned them to get his things and leave the class. Josie and Vaughn looked at each other for the last time as the first one left helplessly. She and Corrine exchanged looks and left the class together.
"C'mon Josie.. why don't you see the bright side of things?" Corrine said breaking the silence Josie was creating for minutes now.
"Bright side? Im sorry, I must lost a thing here... you do realize im with him on a project, right?" Josie said ironically again and waited for the girl's reply.
"This way you get to talk to him." Corrine said satisfied of her explanation.
"And why would I wanna talk to him?" Josie said again not understanding a single thing.
"Didn't you need to get that thing of yours you thought Vaughn had? Well, this is the chance to get it." Corrine said again as she deepened the look on Josie's eyes.
"Yeah.. Yeah!!! You're right!!! Im gonna act just as usual, and even friendlier.. he wont notice anything.. and then when I get his full trust, he'll lead me to it...!!! Thanks Corrine you're a genius!!!!" Josie said as she hugged her so tightly she almost suffocated her.
