Fake Love

VI. Established Relationship

I was in a dazed state ever since that situation occurred. That particular scene replayed itself over and over inside my head like a broken player. Currently, it was lunch time and I was just seated on my seat with my thoughts trying to wrap around the fact that the person also currently sitting behind me caused such frenzy all over the school by saying that the two of us are dating. The headache I was experiencing right now was an understatement. News of the two of us dating was further much proven since that ridiculous stunt Sayuki pulled a while ago.

I turned around and stared at her, trying to decipher what she was thinking at the moment. But her shining and bright light brown eyes weren't giving away anything, a carefully crafted facade was put on as a shield to cover her true intentions and thoughts.

"Do you want to eat together?" she suddenly offered with a bright smile.

I couldn't bear being subjected in this stupid and ridiculous situation and so I unconsciously stood up and grabbed her hand tightly before pulling her out of the classroom. People who were observing us went into a chaos of talking and whispering, blatantly discussing about what was unfolding in front of their eyes.

Sayuki didn't protest and stop me from pulling her, just allowing me to lead her away from the eyes of the student body. I decided the rooftop of the school must be the place where we could talk and discuss this in peace.

Once we arrived there, luckily there weren't students there and so I let go of her hand and stalked towards the door, peeking inside the staircase to see if there was someone before immediately locking the door.

I was feeling deathly calm at the moment which came as a shock to me, not that I couldn't stay calm in a situation like this. I slowly turned and faced Sayuki. She still had that bright and shining facade she fronted.

"Take that expression off your face and tell me what the hell happened!" I couldn't help but raised my voice like that.

She seemed to caught on what I was saying and so she dropped the act and her face now had an arrogant and disgusted expression which I consider to be her real emotions at the moment. The aura around her changed in an instant as if a switch from the inside has been flipped. I guess this was the true skill of an actress, they could switch from their numerous facades in an instant, allowing you to have a hard time deciphering which was true amongst them.

Honestly, it scares me to deal with this kind of people because if I would think this through, they might not even be showing their real emotions and was only acting up. Who knows if what they were showing me was even real to begin with, after all they have the talent to act and portray a mask that most people can't.

"Ugh, why do you have to grab me like that?" she said, her voice full of disgust. "Couldn't you have been more gentle."

I couldn't believe this girl, the way she was acting a moment ago was the exact opposite of what she was acting now. The switch really was scary.

"Wow, talk about you kissing me! I can't believe you even did it in public!" I hissed, clearly angry about what happened earlier.

She realized that and a shift on her expression was detected. She must have backed down a little bit with her sass and rudeness as she remembered her sudden action earlier.

"I-I didn't do that because I want to, you know." she reasoned out. "I just did that for the sake of our relationship to be believable."

'Relationship? What relationship?'

"What are you talking about? We're not even in a relationship so what the hell is this all about?"

"Well, I say that we are now."

I stalked over to where she was standing. Good thing the sun wasn't that strong however I decided to pull her over to a shaded part of the rooftop so to speak for the sole purpose of that we could be more comfortable while talking. She mustn't have noticed it as she tried refuting my effort.

"Let's talk in the shade, will you?"

Now that my intentions were revealed she eventually allowed me to pull her over to the side. I let go of her and maintained a respectable distance within us, after all I know that she's actually feeling disgusted by me as she kept on giving me glares and acting like I have a disease of some sort.

"Listen here, little girl." I started, my seriousness kicking in. "I don't fucking know what is happening and what the hell was that kiss all about and so if you could just fucking explain all of this then there wouldn't be problems with us, right?"

I sensed a slight fear emanating from her, probably because I did look serious and probably a little bit scary with how I played out with demanding answers from her. However, she tried masking her fear with a strong front with her showing that she wasn't fazed by my demand of explanation.

"Listen here, mister. I am Sayuki Matsuhiro and from now on, you, Ryou Aizen, will be my boyfriend."

I couldn't help but react a bit violently as I went over to where she was standing, causing her to back against the wall. And with a slight fit of rage, I slammed my hand unto the wall with force and cornered her with my body with the intention to prevent her from escaping. My imposing fear actually worked as this sharp-tongued famous teen actress was silenced and paralyzed with my display of slight strength, she looked uncomfortable at the moment. I noticed her cheeks slightly redden gradually, probably because of our close proximity which I also just noticed, earning me a slight stain on my cheeks as well.

"Why?"

That was the only thing I asked with hearing what she just said. Honestly, this situation was getting tiring and it probably was the best to just quickly end this once and for all, however not without explanation coming from her seeing that I'm the victim here of whatever scheme she was planning to do.

She was surprised with my question as observed in her eyes and she actually produced a tsk sound which means she might also be feeling frustrated with our situation. She looked at me in the eyes with conflicting emotions present in them, I guess she was debating with herself.

"I... I need you..." she mumbled lowly after quite sometime.

I shot her a look to explain further just so I could fully comprehend her answer.

"If I have a boyfriend here in school, all attempts of confession and such won't happen right? That's why I need you to act as my boyfriend."

I lowered down my head for a bit and all of a sudden, a carefree chuckle came out of my lips. Sayuki had a shocked and confused expression appeared on her face as she gazed at me as if I lost my mind. If I'm being honest, I also didn't know why the hell was I laughing at this moment. It was just as if something happened and I couldn't help but laugh at it.

"What of it? What benefit will I gain from being your boyfriend, huh?" I asked her.

In just a snap, her confidence and change in aura occurred and she gained a bit of an edge with her confident gaze and a smirk gracing her lips. It looked like she really knew what she was doing, considering the way she looked right now.

"Benefit? Do you even have to ask?" she replied with a tone as if saying 'Isn't it obvious?'. "You'll be able to date me, the one and only, Sayuki Matsuhiro."
