• “Do you know what I have here?” My father asked as Iruka and I stood in front of him. We didn’t answer because I really didn’t know how and Iruka was just so nervous and scared.
    “This here, is a bond contract I sign with all of the stars such as yourself. As your boss, I am to say it is very disappointing to see you have fallen for Akira…”
    “Dad, I didn’t…” He held a hand to stop me as he continued.
    “As your father, I’ve always avoided telling you about boys and such because the only ones you’ve kissed were all pretend…but this one here!” He threw down the newspaper where Akira and I were kissing made the front page.
    “This is not rehearsed! It is not for a movie and you’re not doing a photo shoot with him so why on earth would you kiss him so easily like this?!” My father stood up furious.
    “And Iruka…” My father took his glare at him. Iruka broke down and kneeled in praying position.
    “I’m sorry I wasn’t there to stop the whole seduction!” Iruka cried out.
    “Seduction?! Who was seducing who?! This is the first time I’m hearing this!!!” My father shouted.
    “I’m sorry I didn’t see them share tongue and spit!”
    “Shut up Iruka, you’re making it all worse!!!” I shout to him. Iruka can handle any fight because he was trained, but why is it when he is put in front of my father his muscles and strength turn to jelly?! My father sighs and rubs his temples like he always did when he was angry. I bit my lip, this couldn’t get any worse…
    “Sir, the other party you requested for now has arrived.” The assistant led another person into the room before she shut the door.
    “Ah, it seems you two know each other as well.” My father smiled deviously.
    “What‘s going on?” I turned to the person who said this. It was Ren, the school nerd Ren, weird mushroom head Ren, the Ren that creeps me out Ren!!! I thought confusedly.
    “Take off your disguise Ren, or our deal will be broken.” My father smiled even more. Ren nodded and my eyes widened as he took off a wig and now fake glasses?! A… Akira?!?!? My mouth began to hang open.
    “Yes, Akira has been going to your school because I asked him to. When we made that deal before Reina, Akira had also come to me on that same day after you left…”
    “It’s always nice to see you Akira, what brings you here to see me today?”
    “Sir, I know we have a contract…but I would like to end it soon, and my manager said I could only do so under your permission.” He bowed.
    “Hmm I see, well you are a very important asset to this studio. What is your reason?”
    “I’ve been working in this industry for as long as I can remember, and at first I really was into it all. The fame and the fortune. But I decided I need to live a regular life since I’m missing everything else out there. I feel like I haven’t really lived, and this may sound stupid but all that playboy act…it’s only so I could get out of this business faster, but that hasn’t really turned out as planned. It’s only made me rise higher among everyone…”
    “Hmm, you seem to really want to leave us…but before you can go, you must do me one favor that will make it a deal breaker.”
    “Which is…?”
    “You know Reina, right?”
    “Of course!”
    “She will be attending this high school and I also have a deal to win with her. And I don’t want to lose. The deal is, you need to try and expose her to her classmates. She’ll be in some disguise with her manager Iruka. It’s as simple as anything, and if you succeed you will be able to break your contract…”
    My eyes widened to listening to their story, how could they lie to me like that?! I feel like some stupid girl who has only been played with and now depression has taken me over…
    “So what happens now that Reina and I know our own disguises?” Akira asked. My father laughed and said. “Marriage!” Akira and my eyes both went wide again! I wanted to shout something to the old man, but Akira can’t know that his boss is my father…
    “What are you talking about?” Akira gave a glare.
    “I think you and Reina are perfect together.” He smiled.
    “Sir…I thought you were angry about the whole kiss?” Iruka asked.
    “I was, but only because you guys didn’t tell me you two were going out! I didn’t know you guys were together from the very start, no wonder Akira could never expose you during school.” My fists clenched. I was over the top furious!!!
    “So this is my new deal, you two get married and I shall break Akira’s contract and continue Reina’s contract.” My father smiled with joy.
    “But we didn’t…” Before I could say anything, Akira covered my mouth.
    “Yes sir, understood.” Akira bowed and dragged me out, Iruka stayed behind because my father wanted to talk with him. Akira dragged me all the way into the elevator.
    “What the hell are you doing?!” I shouted once he let me go.
    “If you hadn’t stopped, he would have changed his mind. I need to have my contract broken, just as bad as you need yours to stay as it is!” Akira said.
    “You need it so much that you agreed to marry me?! I don’t love you, and I know you don’t love me!”
    “Why do you get to decide who I love or not?” Akira asked.
    “Because I don’t want to marry you! I’m still a teenager and I haven’t done what I wanted to do yet!”
    “You mean your goal that your so desperately trying to reach? Why do you want to reach that goal so much? I mean you’re practically almost there, why not quite while you’re ahead?”
    “Because if I was ahead, I would quite.”
    “Whose attentions are you trying to grab?” He asked, cornering me.
    “I…um…” I stuttered, and he began to smile deviously like usual.
    “The only attention you should grab is mine, since I’m your fiancé.” He chuckled.
    “Didn’t I say that I didn’t like you? Why do you keep coming on to me?” I narrowed my eyes. He began to laugh hysterically now. I lifted and eyebrow in confusion.
    “Coming onto a girl like you? You’re very funny! We get married and after the waited period we get divorced so we can go our separate ways.” Akira put his hands in his pocket and walked out of the elevator finally. That was the longest ride down I’ve ever been on…….

    “Iruka, what did my father say after we left you?” I asked as Iruka grabbed out some suite cases.
    “What are you doing?” I asked.
    “I need you to pack up the things you will need for school and such other things you might want. If you leave anything behind, it’ll be trashed.” Iruka had a solid face on. He was so serious now.
    “Why do I need to pack my things?”
    “We’re moving, so hurry up.” Iruka went to his own room to pack up everything. I guess it really was that time to move again, since the paparazzi might be after my hideout now to get information on what was going on. So I did what I was told and packed everything I wanted and needed to bring.
    Hours later, we suddenly stood in front of a huge building complex.
    “We’re going to be living in an apartment now?” I asked as we entered the elevator with Iruka.
    “It’s a lot bigger than an apartment, your father got you the biggest of and highest one.” Iruka still seemed to have that serious expression on his face. I wanted to say something that didn’t make this moment seem awkward but I just didn’t know how to start! What could I say or do that will make everything seem back to normal?! Oh, I know! I bent downward to make silly face to Iruka. He looked at me but didn’t move an inch.
    “Bloop, bloop, bloop.” I made a fish pucker face. Still, nothing! If this was a cartoon, I would be giving off a sneaky aura and trying to conjure up. Which I did by slipping to the floor slowly and coming up in his face fast!
    “BLEH!” I tried to scare him. What?! He didn’t even blink a muscle!!! He was like one of those guards with those black fury hats who protect the outsides of the Buckingham palace!
    “What is with you Iruka?!” I shook him insanely.
    “Rei-na….stop….it….shaking…m-eeh….!!!” I didn’t stop until I noticed the doors had opened and their was someone watching us now.
    “My wife is such a rude woman I’m sorry you had to put up with it for so long Iruka.”
    “I’m not your wife! What the hell are you doing here?!” I shouted as I held onto Iruka’s arm tightly. Iruka sighed but didn’t do anything about it.
    “You will soon be my wife, so you shouldn’t refuse it any longer my dear.” Akira smiled. As I showed my tongue to him, Iruka led us into our new home. My eyes began to sparkle at how beautiful and spacious it looked compared to where we used to live. I was so amazed at it all that I did a small swirl like I was in heaven, I could even hear the signature bells.
    “Akira, you and Reina will live here together now and…” Suddenly after hearing what Iruka was saying, the bells and dreamy eyes went away.
    “What did you just say…?” I asked Iruka coldly.
    “He said we will be sleeping in the same bed babe.” Akira grabbed my waist from behind and held me close.
    “Get off of me you big playboy pervert!!!” I shouted as I untangled myself.
    “Reina, please stop throwing a fit…” Iruka said gently. I stopped fidgeting and tried behave.
    “Wow, how did you do that?” Akira asked amazed. Iruka ignored his question and walked to the door.
    “I’ll be staying on one floor down, so if you need me just ask. I‘ll see you two for school tomorrow.” Iruka bowed and left. I stayed quiet as I brought the rest of my carry-on to the bedroom.
    “What, you’re not going to try and escape?” Akira followed.
    “If I escape, it’ll just make things worse.” I said as I tried to unpack my things.
    “Even if it means helping me break my contract?” He asked, staring at me while sitting on the edge of the bed.
    “You are not the only one benefiting from this whole exchange, keep that in mind!”
    “So you don’t mind marrying me just for a small deal?”
    “It is NOT a small deal! Having my contract continued is like my whole life being full. Without it, I’m empty…” I didn’t know why he still didn’t get it yet, I need to be an actress! It’s who I am!!! But no matter how much I tell this person, he’ll never understand the reasons anyway.
    “Never mind, just make sure you know what we’re going to do for tomorrow.” I walked away from him.
    “What about the sleeping arrangements?” He asked. I rolled my eyes and turned back to him.
    “You’ve slept with lots of girls, I’m sure sleeping with me will be no problem.” I said, but then I thought about it…
    “Do you know what you’re saying?” He asked while smiling.
    “I didn’t mean it in that way, you probably have diseases to last you a lifetime.” I giggled.
    “I don’t have! I’ve already been to the doctor and some of those women I didn’t even go all the way with!” He looked flushed.
    “So you actually went to the doctor because you had a feeling?” I began to laugh hysterically.
    “S…shut up! An…and anyway, aren’t you afraid of sleeping on a bed with a playboy?” He looked embarrassed still like a little kid.
    “Why, are you going to try something?” I asked innocently.
    “Who knows?” He regained himself again and smiled.
    “Yeah, then I’ll just sleep on the couch.” I shrugged and left the room before anything else could be said. This was going to be a long time period of my life, I sighed…
