BeBe: Sorry it's been a while since I've updated. I slammed my finger in my aunt's car door, so now it's a pain to type, and I've been having my friend, Rina do it for me. Give me a few weeks, and I should be updating much much more.

"You're kidding." Katsumi laughed, at breakfast the next day. Her, Kei, and Brittany-Nina were all seated around the table. It was the first time the three of them got some alone time since yesterday.

"You heard it all." Brittany-Nina smirked over at her.

"Yeah, I did." Katsumi nodded, "Nearly gave Keisuke a heart attack when you basically told him of the plan."

Brittany-Nina shrugged, "It worked, didn't it?" she took a bite of her pancakes, trying to keep the syrup from spilling on her. She always coated it too much.

"Just don't try any more close calls." Kei replied in his monotone voice that sounded so much like his father's, a glare glinting off his glasses. "Zero's coming to get you, today. Don't go telling him that we set him up."

"I'm not that stupid." Brittany-Nina rolled her eyes.

"Could've fooled me." arms wrapped around her neck. Brittany-Nina turned around to see Matoko smirking down at her.

"What're you doing here?" she asked, smiling. Her and Matoko were quite close since he spent a ton of time here, with Kei.

"Why else am I here?" he asked, "I'm visiting my good friend!"

Brittany-Nina chuckled, and shook her head, "You idiot."

Matoko smiled, but then sat down. "I do have one question, though." he muttered, thoughtfully. "What happens if neither one of you cracks?"

"We discussed it at length." Brittany-Nina answered. "If neither one of us falls for the other by the time he graduates, next year, I'll admit defeat and he'll win."

"You don't plan on letting that happen, though, do you?" it seemed as if Kei added the question at the end as if to make him sound less certain than he really was.

"Course not." Brittany-Nina smirked, "I don't like losing, Kei. In case you haven't noticed."

"And you're okay with the fact that in the end, you will lose?" Katsumi asked.

Brittany-Nina turned to her, eyebrow raised. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that no matter the outcome, you will lose in a way."

"Katsumi," Matoko said, "None of us get what you mean."

"She's trying to say that if Brittany falls for him, it'll be a one-sided love. She'll be heart broken." Kei answered, pushing up his glasses.

"But, we already covered that I'm not planning on falling for him." Brittany-Nina countered.

"You also weren't planning on having this contest in the first place." Kei shot back. "And, what if your plan does work, and he does fall for you, then decides that if he can't have you, no one can? Don't tell me it's impossible. And, if neither of those happens, you'll end up losing two years of your dating life."

Brittany-Nina had to admit that she hadn't thought of any of those options.

"Well," she sighed, "It's too late to get out of this, now."

"Get out of what?"

Brittany-Nina jumped at the sound of the voices from behind her. She turned to find Maka, Hikari, Akiyo and Shujinko Hitachiin smirking.

"Goodness." she groaned. "Is the entire host club coming over here?"

"We heard that you and boss man Zero are dating now-" Akiyo started,

"-so we came over to make you over." Shujinko finished.

"I thought you didn't like doing makeovers." Katsumi smirked.

Maka put her hands on her hips, and smirked over at the black haired girl. "We never said that."

"You implied it, though." Brittany-Nina smiled, before turning away. "No matter. I'm not going to make myself pretty just to see him. If he won't love me for my personality and only for my looks, than I have no reason to date him."

"You're such a… a…" Hikari threw her hands up in the air. "Oh, I don't know what you are!"

Brittany-Nina let out a soft chuckle.

~O.H.S.H.C

Brittany-Nina ran to the door once the bell rung. Outside stood Zero in his high school uniform.

"Ready?" he smirked, looking her up and down. Brittany-Nina suddenly felt very exposed in her middle school uniform mini skirt.

"Stop looking at me." she hmphed, closing the door behind her. "Especially with that seductive look in you eye. Katsumi in her family are watching." she turned to the window where Katsumi, Kei, Mr. and Mrs. Ootori, the Hitachiins and Matoko could indeed, be seen watching them.

"Don't they have to go to school, as well?" Zero asked, turning to wave at them as well.

"They'll follow close behind," Brittany-Nina answered, "They want to keep an eye on us."

"How many of them know that we're not actually going out?"

"All but Mr and Mrs. Ootori, Shunjinko and Akiyo."

Zero shook his head, laughing. "Why am I not surprised that Kei knows about it?"

"Because he's Katsumi's older brother, and Katsumi's my best friend, maybe." Brittany-Nina answered.

"You can't get to me." Zero smirked down at her. "I'm too mellow to get mad-or to fall in love."

"Well, it's only my first day." Brittany-Nina closed her eyes, and kept from turning her head towards him. "Give me a while, and I promise I'll have you falling at my feet."

"I believe that's my line." Zero said, from beside her.

"Just you wait." Brittany-Nina smirked.
