Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28180791-20180501003758/@comment-35373280-20180501043220

"Hold on a sec... so your going to give me hell if I don't pretend I'm your boyfriend, right?"

"Did I not make that clear?"

"No, you made it clear, clear that you can't deal with your family issues by yourself."

Jenny bares her teeth at me, a tiger like growl emanates from her like guttural fury. "I change my mind, I guess Tina, Tasha, and Marissa are paying you a regular visit."

"That's not going to happen, I'm the only one you told this too and chances are you don't want this getting out."

"I've asked multiple people Tiny, they've had their reasons."

"Bullshit, Jenny. Why else are you making the effort to lock me in an empty classroom to tell me this? Chances are you don't want this spreading, you know you've pissed off a lot of people and no one outside of your little group would hold a secret for you..."

"Are you trying to hold this against me?"

"No, but I want my money back. I've kept track of every buck you pocketed, you stole $234.00 from me and chances are you aren't going to give it back without a good reason. Lets make a deal, I'll play make believe with you if you give me back all the money you stole, you and your friends stop screwing with me, and I get those three favors."

"$234! You're pulling that out of your ass, no way I took that much from you!"

I pull out a piece of paper with dates, times and cash amouts on it. "I take this shit very seriously Jenny, that's 234 bucks I could have right now."

She gives it a quick glance, she groans a bit before making eye contact back with me. "...alright, so you don't want me picking on you anymore, you have 2 more favors."

"Still 3 Jenny, no way in hell you would keep treating me like that. I'm doing you a huge favor, I at least deserve that."

"You're really pulling my strings Tiny."

"First favor, my name is Herald, I prefer that over Tiny. Harry is fine."

"Alright, Harry... 2nd favor?"

"I want $50 right now, that doesn't go towards the the amount you already owe me. Since I'm driving you're also paying for gas"

"50 dollars! No! $10!"

"$45"

"$20"

"$40"

"I'm not going more than $30 Harry, I'm paying for the gas too!"

"Alright, fine."

Jenny pulls out her wallet, it's punctured in a few places from her claw. She reluctantly pulls out a 20 and two 5's and slaps it into my hand. She still has that same irritated grimace on her face.

"...3rd."

"I'm saving that for later, I'm not blowing all my favors right away."

"Alright Harry... you better put on a good suit, I don't want you dressing up like Mr. Rogers or anything. Also, if you even think about trying to embarrass me at my sister's wedding then there is a good chance I'll actually kill you."

"Fair enough, I wasn't planning on doing anything like that anyways. I don't like embarrassing myself in public."

Jenny gives off a half smile. "Doesn't stop you from doing it anyways."

"That was you who ripped my pants open during class change..."

"No it wasn't, you just decided to dress like a ragged bum last week."

"That's dogshit Jenny!"

(CONTINUED)

I drive up to Jenny's house, luckly her parents have already left for the wedding, I didn't want to deal with her mom disapproving of me right off the bat. Also luckily I drive a convertable soft-top, I don't have to deal with her accidently tearing into my hood with it being open for her. I give off a few honks and wait for a bit, eventually she walks outside wearing an admittedly striking dress, not her usual get-up that I'm used to seeing but I'm sure they made her wear it.

"Nice ride Harry, I expected you to drive up in a minivan. Good thing I was wrong."

"At least I can drive, good luck naviating the foot pedals with your huge-ass tiger feet."

Jenny hops into the passenger side of the car. Being a jinko her frame is a bit cumbersome, but thankfully the car-top was down so it wasn't too uncomfortable for her, not that I cared. I drove towards our destination, Jenny was a bit quiet, most of the time she just looked around hoping that no one from school caught her driving with me in her dress.

"So Jenny, what can I expect coming into this? I know your sister wants you to bring me over so I expect to talk to her, but I assume your entire family is going to be there too. What should I be worrying about most?"

"W-Well, I mean it's a wedding. You go there, you sit through the wedding ceremony, then you eat and talk with the other guests. Not much too it really."

"Yeah, but it's an entire family of jinkos. Are they all as charming as you?"

"More or less... I mean, the men are all human. There are only female jinkos so there's that."

"Right, right... You told your parents about "us" right? If your mother is anything like you she'll probably not like the idea of us going out."

"...yeah... if you can stay with the other men and try to blend in."

"Are you fucking me! Jenny! Did you or did you not tell them?!"

"Of course I didn't, this is just supposed to be an in and out opperation!"

"Jenny! I'm going to be sitting through the wedding, I'm going to be mingling with guests! They are going ask who I am and who I'm with, word is going to spread that I'm your boyfriend."

She just sits silently for a moment, she turns her head away, but it's obvious that she's worried.

"Alright, look Jen, we have a plan and we just need to stick to it. We met in school, we liked each other, we went on a few dates and decited to become a couple. We stick to that scenario and we should be just fine."

"...okay..."

"Also, you should expect to kiss me at some point."

"THE FUCK HARRY!"

"Do you think your sister is going to be content with a hug or something?! No, she'll want us to pucker up. We have to sell us being in a relationship, that's why I'm here."

"Oh god..." Jenny crosses her arms and looks blankly outward. She sees the large tent and everything, her various family relations are being led outside for the wedding ceremony.

"We're here... better put on a good face Harry, cuz you'll have to impress not only the guests but my sister and parents too."
