A/N: Hello my fellow readers! I'm back again! With a new story fresh from the oven! Dont worry I'm still working on "Wind In The Woods" but I thought this would be a nice little story to keep you busy.

Its the classic "what-if-a-girl-pretended-to-be-a-boy-in-an-all-boy-academy" story but hey! if others can do it so can I! *Lol* well I hope you like this and now ON TO THE PROLOGUE!

Prologue

"The Bet"

I sat at the table with my three bestfriends in the whole wide world; we were at our usual hangout spot the 'KazBar'. It was a local place where all the private academies college students hangout if they didn't go home for vacation. Ok its time out just so you readers know I am the youngest member in the "click" my name is Zynn Kunakida I'm 18 years old...okay I'm really 17 1/2 but I already consider myself 18, with long blacker then black hair and silver eyes.

I'm not to tall or anything (but I wish I was) I guess you say I'm your average girl, I'm not drop dead gorgeous like my best friend Lotus. But I've been known to get complements every now and then but thats about all guys never flocked to me like they did to Lotus...but hey! I doesnt bother me at all.

While we're on Lotus she's sitting to my left flirting with one of the waiters, now Lotus she's the drop-dead gorgeous model type. Tall extremely tall around 5'9 she has spiral curly strawberry blonde hair shoulder length. Perfect face, prefect figure, beautiful baby blue eyes that sparkled Lotus made her freckles look cute.

Next to my right was Aki now he's the practical joker of the bunch and my partner in crime *laughs*

He's tall around 6ft or so he has that "lean and hungry look" about him which was true cuz he's always hungry but never gains a pound urgh! I hate him...(not really) Aki had medium black hair thats always spiked up and frosted with cherry red tips; he has those mischievous light green eyes. Calling Aki cute is an understatement to the 5th power. He's just as gorgeous as Lotus and he too has fair share of admirers and he goes through girlfriends like Kleenex... and thats not an understatement.

Finally to my extreme right is Rhaine or as me, Lotus, and Aki call him:

'Mr. Anal'

'Stone Face'

'The world's only living heart donor'

'Ice Man'

Our list of lovely little term of endearments goes on, not that, that phases Rhaine oh no! nothing ever does he just gives us those frosty glares and ignores us. But any way if anyone in our little group had to take the prize in being the most gorgeous person there (drum rolls please) Rhaine would most definitely take the prize. He's 6'5 very well muscled in disgustingly perfect shape, how do I know this you ask?...well lets just say he's my much unwanted personal trainer. The man's a SLAVE DRIVE utterly ruthless!

Anyways he has long long pale lavender hair, which he keeps in either a ponytail, or braided, beautiful hazel eyes that are always serious and graced with glasses. Rhiane's manners are immaculate, everything about him screams

"I'M VERY SOPHISTICATED AND DID I MENTION RICH TOO?"

Yelp he's rich too.

The prefect guy...if you like that ice cube type... but that doesnt stop the girls from practically beating his door down wanting to be the next .

Its kinda sad if you think about it.

I dont blame him for still being single, hell if I was in his place I'd be living like a Buddhist Monk some where in the far reaches of Tibet.

Oh yeah did I tell you once I was mistaken for his girlfriend!? *laughs* his GIRLFRIEND! I laughed my ass off at that later.

So not anyways now that you know whom my friends are back to the story. Now like I said, I was sitting in the Kazbar with my best friends we were all talking about what we're gonna do when we all started school again.

I was stirring my soda with my straw and frowning letting my thoughts drift about, thats when Aki ruffled my hair and grinned,

"Why so glum Zynn?"

he asked grinning as I shot daggers at him for messing with my hair (I HATE when he does that).

"My mom is thinking about putting me in some all girl preppy school"

I replied in a depressed tone,

"I dont want to go to some stupid preppy girl school, where the teachers look like hermaphrodites and there is absolutely no fun or any thing!"

Lotus gave me a sympathetic smile and hugged me,

"Aww Zynn maybe it wont be that bad...who knows you might have fun there."

I wanted to thank Lotus for trying to cheer me up so an I gave her a small smile. Aki put his arm around my shoulder and whispered in my ear softly,

"You know it has always been my dream to attend an all girl prep school I mean for a guy like me! it would be heaven!"

I felt my eye start to twitch (that happens from time to time) and I "accidentally" elbowed Aki in his rib. He grunted in pain while I turned to Lotus.

"It wont be so bad huh? then tell me my mother is thinking about sending me to a Swiss preppy all girl school. Hows that now?"

Lotus and Aki gawked at me, their jaws to the floor Rhaine was the only one who remained impassive we ignored him.

"WHAT! A SWISS PREP SCHOOL!?" the both exclaimed in unison, which earned us several startled stares from the other people in the restaurant.

"Will you two keep it down!" I hissed at them, "If I wanted the whole place to know I'd yelled it myself!"

"You mean a Swiss as in Switzerland!?" Lotus demanded

"But thats all the way in ... in... SWITZERLAND!" Aki thundered as he pounded the table with his fist.

"How astute of you Aki your perception amazes me" Rhaine commented in a honeyed tone laced with sarcasm. Aki glared at him for a full moment then replied in an icy manner,

"It amazes me how you can remain so cool when our friend is going to be SHIPPED OFF TO SWITZERLAND!, SWITZERLAND OF ALL PLACES!"

"Thats right!" Lotus chimed in (I was blushing slightly because they were making such a big fuss I wanst use to this much attention)

"You have to stop your mother Zynn you just cant go half way around the world!"

"There has to laws about something like that!"

Rhaine had took off his glasses and was in the process of cleaning them as he commented lightly,

"Good thing there isnt one."

That earned him a dirty look from all three of us, Aki grabbed Rhaine's collar roughly,

"And just what the hell do you mean by that! You pompous ass you!" Aki all but growled at him. Rhaine arched one elegant eyebrow then replaced his glasses before pushing Aki's hands away and responding.

"You know as good as well as I do that Zynn is better off in any girl's academy be it here or in Switzerland. If she was a guy she wouldnt last a year at the Sumarian Academy."

Again we all looked at me with shocked expression's on our faces, and I tell you now reader the secretly I was hurt that Rhaine something like that. I mean I hadnt expect him to be a passionate as Lotus and Aki were but still... some compassion would have been nice. Lotus must have felt me tense up for I felt her gaze on me for a full minute, then she said in a quite manner,

"Rhaine you cant meant that! Zynn's your friend!"

"Lotus you know I'm right!" Rhaine looked to me then, "I like you and all, but all things considered you will have it easy at an all girls academy just be glad your not a boy."

I surprised myself at how calm I was when I replied,

"Oh? and why is that?"

Sighing Rhaine took off his glasses and started cleaning them again,

"Because it's a proven fact that boy's academies are much muchmore strict then girls. We have more expectations to accomplish then they do and we are generally more focused then most girls' academies are."

Rhaine places his glasses back on once more then held his arms open on the table,

"There you have it" was all he said. I leaned forward resting my elbows on the table Aki gave Lotus "the look" and she nodded both sat back.

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"Well forgive me if I say that what you just said was bull-"

"OKAY! OH MY! Look at the time! dosent just FLY! When we're having fun?" Lotus interrupted loudly.

"Hey Aki don't you need a ride to go to the thing that you needed to do you know on the opposite side of town?"

Both Aki and I shot Lotus a puzzled look,

"My thing?... Lotus just what are you ta-" Aki grunted in pain suddenly then quickly brighten up,

"Oh yeah! That thing at the place that you offered to take me cos my car's broke down."

Aki smiled at me "Hey Zynn you want to tag along?"

I smiled back but shook my head declining the offer,

"No actually I have to go straight home... and since you two are going the other way I'll just walk to my house."

"I'll drive you home" Rhaine said abruptly surprising everybody. Glancing at him a raised a brow.

"Are you sure? I mean you also live on the other side..."

"I'll drive you home" he repeated in a no-nonsense-tone I shrugged and said fine. I didnt miss the worried glances Aki and Lotus gave each other, I'm sure their worrying that I might kill Rhaine while he's driving me home or something.

"Are you ready?" Rhaine asked as he stood up from the booth, I nodded again then scooted out when Lotus got up.

Looking from me to Rhaine Aki laughed nervously,

"Heh...I guess I'll see you guys later..." then to me he whispered," Dont kill Rhaine JUST yet ok? Wait till there's no one around alright? Remember...NO witness!"

I laughed and lightly punched Aki in the arm Lotus grabbed him and muttered "idiot" and they left KazBar. I turned to Rhaine and followed him out the door, the tension between use was rising and I guess he figured out that what he sat hurt me.

I got in to his thunder bird convertible and I heard him get in on his side start the engine and sped off in the direction of my house.

Five minutes later I glanced at him and said,

"So you're saying I wouldnt last at any Boys Academy?"

"Basically."

"Isnt that a bit sexist?"

"No just fact."

"Oh really... so it that a challenge then?"

That earned me a smirk from the Frost King,

"Yes... its a wager presay do you accept?"

I paused and thought about it my house pulled into view Rhaine pulled into the parking lot turned off the engine. Turning to me he asked in his serious tone but there was a hint of amusement is his hazel eyes,

"Well... do you accept? I bet that you can't last one year in any boy's academy do you accept the bet?"

I looked at his out stretched hand and hesitated...I mean what if I couldnt last a year? What if I got found out? The possibilities were endless. I looked Rhaine straight in the eye and smiled,

"Can I have a little more time to think it over?"

Rhaine settled back in his seat and nodded saying it was fine with him but I had until same time tomorrow to have my answer. I to nodded since it was only fair, getting out of his car I turned and leaned down towards him and asked,

"Whats the prize at the end of the bet?"

The Frost King graced me with another smirk before replying,

"That information you'll get when you agree or disagree to the bet."

And with that Rhaine revved up his engine and sped off, I watched him long after he had gone smiling I ran into my apartment building bounded up the stairs.

As soon as I got in the door I yelled,

"MOM! YA HOME!? BOY DO I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU!"

"So what do you think mom? Should I do it? Should I take Rhaine up on his bet?"

I asked my mom, we were sitting on the terrace drinking some tea. My mom gave me a thoughtful look and then took another sip of her tea before sitting it down on the end table.

"Truthfully I'm wondering about what the loser of this bet will have to go Zynn dear," She took her cup again and held it to her lips, "and your sure he didnt tell you what it is?"

I nodded,

"Yelp he told me he'd tell me if or when I agree or disagree to the bet I have until tomorrow at the same time."

"Hmm" was all my mother said as she gave the tea bowl a thoughtful look, I drowned the rest of mine then drew my legs up in the chair.

With a slow sly grin spreading over my mom's face she inquired,

"And he didnt say which all boy academy you had to attend did he?"

I shot mom a puzzled glance...just WHAT was she getting at?

"No...why...?" I probed I just KNEW mom had something up her sleeve, she could be crafty at times my mom. She finished her tea and sat it down giving me a mischievous smile she answered me.

"You see I think you have take this bet and win it I like Rhaine and all but he's as every bit as arrogant as his father and your father combined." she trailed off giving me an "all knowing" smile. Only I didnt know what she was getting at,

"So...?" I started

"So... since he didnt say which all boys academy to join wouldnt it be a surprise and if not a HUGE blow to his ego if you..."

Thats when it all came together I sat back in my chair and grinned finishing my mother's thought.

"Wouldnt it be huge blow to his ego if I not only showed up posing as a boy in his academy but win the bet at his academy!" I clapped in delight my mom smirked and refilled her cup of tea. I leaped out of my chair and hugged her,

"Mom your the best! I cant wait to see the look on his face when I show up! He wont be able to tell on him because he's automatically lose the bet, and I KNOW he wont give me up. This is too RICH!"

I ran back in our living then bolted to my room, I flopped on my bed belly first and grabbed my phone. Punching in Lotus cell number I chewed on my bottom lip waiting for her to pick up.

'Hello Lotus Luv Goddess here'

I rolled my eyes

"Its a go!"

'Really! You mean your mom actually agreed to it!?'

"Yelp we think the Frost King need to be warmed up a temperature or two"

'Awesome you know I'm in!'

"Call Aki and fill him in! I'm going to all the help I can get if I'm going to be turned into a guy in three weeks."

'Right! I'll make sure the blab mouth dont shoot off to Rhaine, so did you pick an academy yet?'

"Sure did I'm going to strike at Rhaine's heart"

'His heart...? what to yo-OMG! you going to the ...'

"Sumarian Academy College for Young Men...yep thats right."

'Urgh! you are a brave girl! So are you going to tell Rhaine then?'

"Yeah as soon as I get off with you, I'm walking to his job its not far from here."

'Well dont let me keep you! Go go! I'll call Aki but you make sure you call me and tell me EVERYTHING!'

I laughed and said I would, we both said our goodbyes and hung up. I got off my bed and made my way out the door.

"BE RIGHT BACK MOM!"

"Okay Sweetie!"

It only took about twenty minutes for me to walk to Rhaine's job, which was at a law firm. Yup thats right following in daddies footsteps was what Rhaine was doing, you see unlike my friends I dont have the luxury of having a car... I walk everywhere. Yes I do HAVE my drivers' license but what good is it when you have no car?

I spotted Rhaine's thunderbird in the parking lot top down parked right where I knew he would see me. So I hoped in put on my shades and waited...I didnt have to wait that long. I heard his footsteps before he got to me I slid my shades down to my nose.

"Why hello there hows work?" I inquired in a good nature tone.

"Fine why are you here...in my car none the less?"

"Oh well you see...I thought it over.. what you said and I've reached my decision"

Rhaine raised a brow and sat on the hood of his car,

"This is so sudden and utterly interesting." he looked at me like nothing else in the world was interesting as what I was about to say. "Do pray tell...have you agreed then?"

I nodded giving him my biggest smile,

"Your astute perception in marvelously astounding Rhaine"

"I do try so the game's afoot then hmm?"

I nodded

"Have you picked a school then?"

Again I nodded

Rhaine got off his hood and opened the door to the driver's side; I scooted over to the passenger's seat.

"I'll drive you home"

"Fine"

We reached my house in less then five minutes I got out and leaned down again,

"Now that I agreed to our bet will you tell me what the loser will have to do?"

"Sure the loser will have to spend ONE night from sunset to sunrise with the winner doing whatever he..."

I raised a brow

"or she wants to do."

"Sunset to sunrise?" I questioned Rhaine nodded his head in confirmation

"Yes sunset to sunrise"

I stepped back from the car hoping he didnt see my blush I put on my smirk and put my hands on my hips.

"Rhaine...I have no intention of losing...whatsoever"

The Frost King graced me with a devilish smile,

"Neither do I"

And he revved his car up and shot down the street like lighting I smiled as I watching him until he was out of sight. Then I turned and walked slowly up to my apartment building thinking that things where getting interesting.
