• “Bye-bye Ryo!” Girls were saying when we were leaving school. He waved like he was supposed to, and we walked down the block to where his car was secretly hidden.
    “You have a commercial shoot in an hour, so let’s get going.” Iruka said as he was putting on a blonde long wig.
    “What are you doing?” I held in my laughter.
    “As Reina’s manager, I have long blonde hair.” He said, putting on his same old shades that made him look older.
    “Oh…right.” I forgot ha-ha.
    My father said I had to go to school…but he never said I had to stop being Reina. I thought as I let down my hair from it’s bun, removing my fake beauty mark, and fake glasses.
    “Okay, I’m ready.” I smiled.
    “Good, that’s the girl I’ve seen before. Your school character today was a little scary I must admit.” He said.
    “That’s because I needed to be that way. Everyone knows Reina as nice and caring, and really I am. But I can’t let that be a give away to my true identity at school. I need to show that man I can do without school and just continue private tutoring.” Iruka sighed.
    “Even though I understand that, I still think you should take it easy like your father said. You really are still a teenager. All your life you had to act maturely and work, so you deserve a break. You deserve to just be a normal teenager.”
    “How can I be a normal teenager? I’m Reina, and that’s all I know. So please just let me do what I want Iruka.” I said. I knew it sounded harsh…but this was how it needed to be. Until I prove to someone that I am capable of being a successful actress. Until I’m number one…I thought, as I stared out the car window.
    “Good morning ladies!” Iruka, AKA my younger twin brother Ryo, said as we arrived to class.
    “Hey Ryo!” The girls all greeted him. I rolled my eyes.
    “Good morning Riku.” I almost jumped when I felt someone touch my shoulder from the back. I turned my head just a little, to only see that it was the nerd himself from yesterday. I ignored him again.
    “Hey what are you looking at?” Ryo asked, looking down at a magazine the girls were looking at.
    “Hey, who is that?” The nerd came walking by the girls as well. They all gave him a weird look, like they couldn’t believe he was talking to them…or that he had no clue who was on the front of the magazine.
    “How can you not know who these two people are?!” The girl holding up the magazine asked furiously
    “I’m sorry…?” He looked confused. The girl sighed.
    “This guy here! Is Fujikage Akira! He’s the number one model! He’s so cool and just too gorgeous! He’s close to our age, but I heard he only goes out with older woman!”
    “Oh my…” The nerd shivered.
    “This lady posing here next to him, is number one actress Kimori Miroko. Considering her age, she’s still so beautiful!”
    “Alright settle down, class will begin now.” Our teacher came into the classroom.
    “Ryo! Let’s go play!” The girls stole him as soon as lunch hour began. Some body guard he’s supposed to be. I think for him, this is like a vacation.
    “Hey, where are you going?” The nerd asked as I was about to leave the room. I stopped, I shouldn’t get attached and have friends so close to me…but I also feel that I am being mean.
    “Outside.” I said, and went on my way. I was just in the middle of the halls, when I heard running.
    “Hey, I’ll come with you Riku!” How annoying!!! I just want to be alone already!
    “Must you come with me?” I asked, as we walked.
    “I must!” He said in a cheery voice.
    “Why?”
    “Because! I like you Riku.” That made me stop. I turned to him, and he was smiling brightly.
    “I think…”
    “Yeah, what do you think?” He asked with an even bigger smile.
    “I think…you’re very odd.” I closed my eyes, and began to walk again. I shook my head, very weird boy.
    “Ah! That sounds kind of hurtful!” He said, still following behind me. I didn’t apologize, because I meant what I said. He really was an odd one…that’s what Riku had thought. But if it was Sayu, then she would have blushed and somehow have fallen in love with him. For Reina, she would just say thank you, and that would be all. No swaying of the heart…because that was who she was. That was who I was making her out to be. Playing the role of three different characters…I needed to take each one of them seriously.
    “Hey Riku, did you have a boyfriend before?” Ren asked, as we sat down under a shaded tree. I wonder what I should say…speaking for all three characters, none of them really had a boyfriend. So I just answered the way Riku would probably answer.
    “I had one…but that was a long time ago.” I said.
    “What happened to him?”
    “He broke up with me…” I looked down to the ground dramatically.
    “What?! If I ever see him, I’ll definitely get revenge for you! How dare he break your heart like that!”
    “No…it was entirely my fault. Since I was too busy with my studies, I didn’t pay much attention to him and before I knew it, he told me he had found a new love.”
    “Riku…” I looked at Ren, who now looked way too different. Did the tone in his voice change just now?! He looks scary when he’s serious!!!
    Suddenly, he pulled me into his arms, and cradled me close to him.
    “If you want to cry, it’s fine. You can come to me for anything. I promise I won’t judge you.” Why would I cry from a fake story? That was a fake story…but maybe this is what he expected from this type of situation. A girl who always hid her feelings…and when she reveals them, she’ll start to cry. So I did what I always did when I needed to cry during a scene, I thought of the one thing that hurt me the most in my life…and I would cry automatically. In this type of situation, of course I began to cry now. And the whole time, Ren just held me like a man normally would. He really is…a weird boy…
