Chapter Two
Ryo slowly walked, thinking of what and how to ask Rika.
"Rika...will you be my girlfriend?" he said to himself. He shook his head and said again,"That sounds too gay. Why did I have to say that to Sasumi. Rika will never be my girlfriend,"
"What's this about Rika being your girlfriend Ryo?" wondered a familiar voice behind him.
"Ah! Zoe! Don't do that!" Ryo warned her.
"Hehe...sorry...but what about Rika?" she asked again.
"Nothing," Ryo walked faster than he did before.
"Hold up Mr!" Zoe pulled him by the ear. anime style
"Hey! That's my ear! Ow! Ow! Ow!" he cried. anime style
"Tell me Ryo!" Zoe ordered.
"If I do...ow! Will you let go of my ear?!" he demanded.
"Of course," she smoothly said.
"Okay then. I'll tell! Now let go!" he commanded.
"You said it," she pulled her fingers from his ear and crossed them around her chest.
Ryo rubbed his ear. Then he spoke,"I told Sasumi that I couldn't go to the spring dance with her,"
"And..." Zoe tapped her foot on the ground.
"And what?!" he thought.
"The part about Rika," she pointed out.
"Oh yea...that part...ummm...I kind of told her that Rika was my girlfriend..."he quietly said.
"Ryo!" she shouted.
"I know. I know. That was the baddest thing I ever did." he said again.
"That's great! This is the perfect time you and Rika can be together! This is like a dream come true! Yay!" she shouted happily, danceing around. anime style
"What?! You actually like the idea?!" Ryo was amazed. He thought Zoe was going to bitch at him for what he did but he was wrong.
"This is so fantastic!" she still went on.
"Yea. But...how are we gonna get Rika to agree?" he wondered.
"Ryo...leave that to me. I got everything under control,"
"Rika! Rika!" Zoe screamed out.
"What's wrong Zoe?!" she asked with concern by the look on Zoe's face.
"You-you-you-have to-to-to come quick! Something terrible happened!" she lied in between sniffs.
"Like what?!" she wanted to know.
"Kari...she...she...sniff" was all she could say.
"Kari?! What happened to Kari?!" she asked.
"Something happened to her! You have to help her!" she sobbed.
"Where?! Show me!" she demanded.
Zoe showed Rika the place where she and Ryo were talking just a while ago. When they got there, Rika saw Ryo standing by the tree.
"Uh...hey there Rika," he half waved.
Rika crossed her arms and turned to Zoe, who looked really innocent.
"Okay,what's going on here?!" she demanded.
"Ask him!" Zoe pointed over to Ryo.
Rika looked on over to him as he approached her. She waited for his reply.
"Ummm...how can I say this...ummm...Rika..." he hesitated for a while.
"Oh gosh, is it so hard to say?! He wants you to be his girlfriend!" Zoe quickly blurted out.
"You . . . what?!" Rika asked.
"Oh thanks a lot Zoe!" Ryo cried.
"No prob," Zoe winked and gave a finger wave. anime style
"Okay, what?!" Rika asked again.
"Rika...Sasumi wanted to go to the dance with Ryo but Ryo said no cause he already had a girlfriend which was a terrible lie!" Zoe pointed to Ryo as the blame of this mess.
"You thought it was fantastic! 'That's so fantastic!'" Ryo imitated when Zoe was so happy for both of them.
"Hey, I may have done that but I wasn't that gay saying it like you just now... oh but you're the one who started this!" she accused.
"Hey I-" Before he could finish his word, Rika stop him.
"I want to know what happened," Rika said to them.
"Rika I'm really sorry for what I did. I know I should of thought of another's girl's name but your's came to my mind first..." Ryo slowly apologized, bowing to her.
"So what do you say Rika? You don't have to really like each other, pretend you do and have some fun," Zoe added.
Rika still didn't say a word. Ryo and Zoe both stared at her, watching her next move. She drew in a big breath and let out a word.
"Okay. Fine...I'll be your 'pretend' girlfriend,"
"You will?! Thank you Rika!" Ryo cried and without thinking, he gave her a kiss on the cheeks. "Uh sorry 'bout that."
Rika blushed. "It's okay."
Zoe looked at the two 'pretend' lovers and promised to herself that even though they're just pretending, she'll find a way to make them really like each other.
