Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHINGGGGG!!! Except, of course, myself.. And Mr.
Malprin's demented ideas.
AN: Excuse me for bastardizing Sayo in this story. I don't know anything about her character. So I'm making it up as I go along.
And trust me. it won't be pretty. I don't have a particularly strong liking for Sayo, and from what I've heard no one else really does either.
This fic is about to become a lot more entertaining. Excuse me if the idea is cliché, but I just had to go for it. It was just waaay to perfect.
Let's Play Pretend!
Sanosuke turned a corner and flattened himself against the wall, panting.
Almost there. Almost to Lawrence. Almost to safety.
Gods, why had she chosen him of all people? She was a catholic and he was an atheist. He had heard that opposites attract, but.
She was just a little too opposite for his tastes. She just plain creeped him out. He had been her boyfriend at one point, but had broken up with her shortly after the relationship had started. She didn't really seem to get it, though.
"Sanosuke!" A much too sweet voice called. Sanosuke froze, the hairs on the back of his neck standing straight up.
Shit.
Sayo rounded the corner. He bolted like a frightened rabbit, but she caught his sleeve and pinned him to the wall.
"Oh Sanosuke, I missed you so much during the day." she crooned, planting feather kisses all along his neck. He shuddered and tried to pushed her away, but she clung to the front of his jacket.
"Look, will you get off me already?" He pressed. She pouted but didn't release his jacket.
"Why? Don't I have an excuse to say hi to my boyfriend after school?" She asked.
"For the last time, I'm not your boyfriend!" He shouted.
"Oh, don't be silly Sanosuke. Of course you are. You're so shy sometimes!" She giggled. Sanosuke rolled his eyes. Sayo batted her eyelashes at him in a failing attempt to be seductive.
"Give me some sugar, big guy." She sighed, kissing his neck. He was trapped against the wall and her leaning form.
Then he spotted salvation.
Megumi stopped when she saw them, and her chest was rising and falling like she was laughing under her breath.
"HELP ME!" Sanosuke mouthed.
Megumi shook her head, laughing.
"Please?" He mouthed, giving her his best puppy eyes. She sighed and walked over to the pair.
"Come on Sanosuke, we have to go to practice." Megumi stated, grabbing his hand and yanking him out from under Sayo. Sayo shot her an indignant look.
Megumi dragged him a little further and then realized that she had been holding his hand. They both blushed and stepped away from each other.
"Thanks." Sanosuke grumbled. "I owe you one."
Megumi shrugged.
"Will you two meet me in my office for a minute?" Mr. Malprin inquired, sticking his head out the door and addressing the two teens. They both jumped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The information that the techie had given him had been accurate.
He would have to thank her. What was her name again? Started with an N-No, maybe it was an M. Monigue? No, that wasn't it.
No matter. He would figure it out later. All that mattered was that her suggestion would work out quite nicely.
The two teens sat down in front of his desk, looking somewhat awkward in the office chairs.
"I have a homework assignment for you two." Mr. Malprin stated. Sanosuke's eyebrows shot up.
"Thought we weren't supposed to get any homework. We get enough in regular school." He muttered. Megumi nodded in agreement.
"This isn't exactly a normal assignment." Mr. Malprin stated. He pondered how he was going to put this. "You see, I want you two to pretend that you're boyfriend and girlfriend for two weeks. Seeing as the play is at the end of those two, it will help you get ready for the romance scenes.
Both of the teens stared at him, taking in what he had just said.
"NO FREAKING WAY!" They both shouted at the same time.
"There's no way that I'm going to pretend that I'm going out with her!" Sanosuke shouted, his face red.
"Well, you're not exactly my type either." Megumi grumbled.
"It's not going to happen, Mr. Malprin." Sanosuke stated.
Mr. Malprin sighed. "I really didn't want to do this to you, but." He pulled a file out of his desk. Both actors stared at it in confusion.
"There is a slide scheduled to run first thing next Monday. If you agree to do this, the slide will be canceled. If you don't, this will run." He handed the file to the teens.
They went through the contents with awe and horror.
Before them lay the most embarrassing compilation of baby pictures known to man.
"Holy." Sanouske trailed off. "How did you get these?"
"I have my sources." Mr. Malprin stated. Megumi and Sanosuke stared at him in terror.
"Don't tell me our parents are in on this!" Megumi exclaimed.
"I'm not at liberty to disclose that information." Mr. Malprin replied.
Sanosuke just stared at his two year old self in the bath. Megumi glanced over at him, then looked away blushing.
"So what do you say?" Mr. Malprin asked. "What would be worse for your reputation? Going out with each other, or having theses shown to the school?"
The two teens started at each other, pondering though they both knew the answer was obvious.
"But I have a boyfriend!" Megumi exclaimed.
"No you don't." Replied Mr. Malprin, calling her bluff. She swore under her breath.
"Say, isn't this black mail?" Sanosuke inquired.
"And if it is?" Mr. Malprin relpied. Sanosuke fell silent.
"So will you do it?"
The two teens looked at each other, blushed, then looked away. Both of them nodded.
"Good-" Mr. Malprin started.
"Why do you want us to do this, anyways?" Sanosuke questioned.
"Because frankly, you're romance scenes suck. You both blush to much to get anything done. It's not believable." Mr. Malprin answered. "And if you break the act at any time, the slide will get into assembly." He strutted out of the office, leaving two utterly embarrassed and confused teens in his wake.
"So." Sanosuke started. "I suppose this means that we're going to have to hold hands for the rest of the day, huh?" He laughed nervously. Megumi just stared at him miserably.
Suddenly both of them realized what they had just gotten themselves into.
AN: This will be very funny in the next chapter. Trust me. (Laughs evily.)
Sanosuke+Megumi: (Swallow.)
Buhahahaha. just wait. I'll update soon. Review please!
