"Calm down, Atty. You can do it…," Atticus whispered to himself. He tries to look straight however, he just… can't do it. For some reasons, he's afraid that if he look straight, not below, he'll blow up his covers and Zane would… Zane would, y'all know what Zane would do.
"Yuck… I can't stand it. How could this happen to me? Now I have to act all cool and serious… Arrggghhh!! It's not fun at all!" He screamed. And, that scream has successfully made him the center of attention. Syrus walked to Atticus and asked, "Big brother, are you okay?" Atticus just stared blankly at Syrus. No, I'm not fine, shorty… Neither does your brother. "Big bro? Why are you so quiet?" Syrus asked again with big worrying eyes. Atticus gulped. Well… Here goes nothing…
"I'm fine, Sy. Really. Don't worry," Atticus answered, trying to imitate Zane as good as possible. Syrus shook his head, "Yeah, right. You ARE the best duelist at DA after all. There's nothing you need to worry about… But… I…" Uh- oh, did I say something wrong? Better think of something smart now, Atty. "What are you talking about, Syrus? Have faith on yourself, 'kay? You're my lil' brother so you can do it," Atticus tried to calm Syrus, whose face is beginning to change color. Great, looks like I'll be able to play my part as Zane quite good. Hmm, never thought of myself as a great actor. Oh, no, maybe I SHOULD become an actor. That way, I'll have much more fangirls than Zane.
"Zane, you… really meant it?" Syrus asked Atticus again, waking Atticus from his fantasies. "Oh- what? Oh, yeah, I- yeah, I meant it. Really. now off you go, shoo, shoo." Atticus shooed Syrus, an act Zane won't do. Syrus sees his big brother once again then left, feeling encouraged.

Zane looked at foods in front of him. He can't believe he just bought it all. "What's wrong, Atty? Why did you stared at those food like that?" Alexis asked Zane, who're still trying to calm down. All right, why did I bought all of it anyway? Oh yeah, because it is what Atticus would buy. How could he ate all those sweet things? Yuck… Zane glared at the foods, giving it a disgusted look. "Atty? You okay?" Alexis asked again, looking worried. Maybe I should just told Lexi 'bout it… But then, if I told her, I won't keep my promise to Atticus and only God knows what he'll do in my body… Zane gulped then tried to smile like Atticus always do, but instead, he made a wide grin on his face. Wide and strange looking grin. "Nah, Lexi, I'm fine. Don't worry 'bout your bro-bro, 'kay?" Alexis gave him a stare. "Okay. I'll believe you this time. So, why did you ask me to accompany you today?"
"Well- I…" Zane tried to make an excuse. Damn Atty! He didn't tell me that he asked Alexis to go out with him today! Now, what should I do? Think Zane, think! "Well, I want to ask if maybe… You know, you could help me with my assignment," Zane said while scooping the strawberry parfait in front of him. But he didn't eat it. Instead, he placed it back. He looked right, there was a glass of vanilla milkshake and pancakes with maple syrup on it. He looked left, the damned-strawberry parfait was there, with the chocolate cake. All of it looked delicious in a normal people's eyes, but in Zane's eyes, they looked like monster. He hate sweets. He ALWAYS HATE it. He hate it, he couldn't stand it, he cursed'em. He knew what would happen if his tongue tasted sweets. He knew it and fear it. But, he should eat it all, or his cover would blown up. However, if he eat it… Zane shudders at the thought of eating 'those'
"Help you do your assignment?" Alexis asked, returning Zane to the real world. "YOU? Really? You want to do your assignment Atty?"
"Yeah, something wrong?" Zane asked. What's so wrong with Atticus doing assignment?
"Oh, Atty! I can't believe it! You… At last, you realized that you must do your assignment, not flirting with all your fangirls! Oh, Mom would really be delighted when she hears this." While saying it, Alexis hugged Zane. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait there. If Atticus finds out that you hugged me and I do nothing about it, he'll kill me for sure. "Lexi, stop that! Geez, don't be like that just because of a silly matter."
"WHAT? You said this IS a silly matter? It IS a silly matter if it has something to do with you flirting, but it IS a serious matter if it has something to do with you doing your assignment!" Alexis retorted. "Now, let's do it before you change your mind!"
Oh God, I hope I'll be able to do it right… Zane thought as he do Atticus' assignment with Alexis.

Meanwhile…
Atticus was sitting in Crowler's class, trying to kept his eyes open. Ye God, how could Zane stand hearing all those babblings and chuckling Crowler made? Why couldn't he just acted like me? You know, sleeping in his/her class.
"Mr. Truesdale! Please wake up!"
"Huh? Oh, shoot! I fell asleep?!" Atticus, feeling that all of the class was staring at him. "Erk, ms… no, Mr. Crowler?" Atticus smiled sheepishly to Crowler, who was staring him too. "It's unusual for you to sleep in my class. However, because this is your first time, I'll let you off. Just don't do it again." "Okay, sir!"
Atticus sighed. Whew, lucky me. I'm off the hook. Better make sure Zane doesn't know this little incident.

"Atty!" Zane shouted.
"Zane!" Atticus too, shouted.
"We better find how to return to our normal body Atty. Faster, better."
"Yeah! I ha…te being you!"
"Oh yeah? You think I like being you?"
"Of course you are! You're surrounded by all of my fangirls this day long!! From morning to afternoon! How could you get happier than that? Any man that doesn't get happy when surrounded by women is a GAY!"
"I'm not a gay and I'm not happy surrounded by those fangirls!!"
"Yes you are!"
"No, I'm not!"
"I… Argh! Just stop it! Now we need to find the way to return to our real body!"
"Agreed!!"
"Until then, we're in a truce!"
"Okay! Anyway, what's a 'truce'?"
"…" Zane touched his head and try to stop himself from strangling Atticus.
