I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SO LONG. Fucking exams.

Anyway, enjoy this shit of a chapter, because it's so short. Sorryyyyyy.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS AND ALERTS AND FAVS AND OMG.

I stared at him, not understanding anything that just happened.

Firstly, the near kiss stage. I absolutely hated this guy, and now this?

Secondly, he just told me he liked me since the first time he met me. How did this happen?

And lastly – how do I respond to this?

"I… uh.." I coughed out.

And then I got a slap on my back.

Shima was laughing so hard, gripping his sides, as if his ribs were about break. The worst part was when he wiped a few laughing tears away, looked at me, and then started laughing all over again.

I was confused by everything.

"That look on your face, oh my god!" He shouted and inhaled to stop this madness.

I wish I had the courage to say something, but I was so shocked and so terrified of the whole "I like you, Rin" idea, so I just sat there, silently.

He put his hand on my shoulder and snorted once again.

"For a second there, you totally believed my bullshit." He grinned as if this was the best joke in the whole world. "Rin, how could you be so pathetic and actually think that what I said was true?"

I shrugged.

"Well, this is awkward enough, because I still don't get the joke." I stood up and took my guitar. "Also, cracking jokes with you is not the most pleasant thing either."

He mimicked me while doing a horrible impression and laughed again.

"Thank god I'm not that stupid to fall for you."

"What do you mean?" I asked, suddenly feeling nervous.

"Haven't you noticed? You have everyone swarming around you, seeking your attention."

And with those words, Shima got his things and waved me off, while opening the door.

"See you tomorrow, loser." And ran off, laughing.

I didn't know how to feel or comprehend this situation. Does this mean were finally becoming friends? I didn't want to think about all of this, so I decided I should just practice some more.

My guitar practically flew into my hands and I started jamming without a care in the world. I was playing Three Days Grace – The Chain and loving every moment of it.

I sang my heart out, reaching higher notes and then I was overwhelmed with everything.

This camp was my home.

And no one is going to ruin it for me.

Especially not Shima Renzou.

I was on stage, hearing loud applauses, people cheering.

I held my hands up high and they started shouting my name.

I was in heaven.

But then the whole world fell. It was shaking, I was scared. I started shouting.

And then I woke up.

Someone was trying to wake me up, so I quickly sat up in alert and tried seeing who it was.

I recognized the haircut right away.

"What the fuck are you doing here, Shima?"

"Shh!" He put his finger on my lip and cursed.

He got up and looked out the window, acting all cautious and prepared for anything to happen.

"What is it and why did you have to wake me up at.." I looked over to my clock and growled. "3 A.M. Seriously, Shima?"

"Would you please be quiet?" He blurted and looked trough the window again.

I covered myself up with my blanket and tried sleeping again. Whatever it was, it could wait until morning.

"Oh c'mon, wake up, idiot!" I felt him shaking me again.

I slapped his hand.

"Either you tell me what's happening, or I throw you out that window."

"Okay, fine." He sat on the edge of my bed. "It seems that Danny is a jealous bitch."

I laughed. He seriously came round my room just to talk about guys?

"I'm not interested, Shima, could you please just.."

"I'm not done yet."

"Go on, then."

He gulped some air in and looked at me.

"So, I had a date with him, you know, all that shagging thing.."

"Whoah, whoah, whoah, I don't need to know who you're having sex with.."

"Shagging. Thing." He shot me a look of death. "And I told him I didn't want to be involved with him anymore, so I just kind of ran away." He took a breath. "Now he's following me around, and I swear he saw me climbing up your window."

"What's that got to do with me?" I asked, half-asleep, half-awake.

"Could you please pretend were dating or something, so he would just go away?"

And now I was wide awake.
"Shima, what the fuck, I'm not going to pretend- "

"It's just for a few days, you just go with everything I do, and when he gets over me, I'll let you be." Shima begged me with his eyes.

"I hate you."

"I know."

"So why would I want to help you?"

He was silent.

I sighed.

"Okay. Since you're in my band, I have to help you. But the second he loses interest in you – I'm out. Alright?"

He nodded and bumped me in the shoulder. I bumped him back. We sat there awkwardly.

"There's one more thing you should know."

"You're into S&M?"

"Gosh, no." He snorted. "I don't have a place to go tonight. Can I stay here?"

My mouth fell open. Stay here?

"You've got a pretty big bed."

"I'm not sharing with you."

"But-"

"Not sharing. I'm not gay."

"No homo." He lifted his both hands in the air as if he was defending himself.

"Sleep on the floor. There's a few blankets on the top of my drawer." I pointed out and covered myself up with bed sheets again. I could hear Shima rustling trough my stuff, then preparing his bed and finally lying down.

Was I prepared for this 'pretending to be a boyfriend' thing? I was not sure.

I was doing a favor for the person I hated most in this life. And then it struck me.

"Why the hell did you climb up my room?"

Shima chuckled.

"Because it was the nearest one, and I figured we should start sharing moments together. To be a better team."

"Right."

He yawned. "Night, fucktard."

"Night, asshole." I responded and drifted off to sleep.

REVIEEEW.
