"Manipulative Partner, You Know What That's Like, Right?"

The Student Lounge was almost empty, there were only two people currently in the room, Sweetlie. The couple were doing homework, at least Rosalie was helping Sweet Pea with the work.

"Is this it?" Sweet Pea asked. He was embarrassed that he needed help with his work, he was more of a practical guy, he used his hands, or his fists, to fix things.

Rosalie smiled as she looked at the paper. "Well done, Sweet Pea, you're learning." "I have an okay tutor, she's kinda hot though" he replied causing her to gasp. "Only kinda?"

Kevin entered the room, scanning it in search of Rosalie. "Hide me." She put her head on Sweet Pea's shoulder in a poor attempt to hide herself. When Kevin found her he gasped. "Oh thank God. Rosalie, please, I need your help" he told her as he approached the couple.

"I'm not interested in being in your musical" she told him for what felt like the tenth time. "But you don't understand-" "Keller!" she snapped. "I just want to relax, with my boyfriend and forget everything else, for once. Can I not do that? Is it a crime?"

"Yes! Yes it is! I need your help" Kevin exclaimed.

"What's the part?" Rosalie's eyes widened as she looked at her boyfriend, who was the one to ask the question. "Excuse me?" "Shut up" Sweet Pea said before turning his attention to Kevin. "Keller, the part, what is it?"

"It's just as an extra. We already have all the main cast, we even have Leon as a understudy for Archie. It's strange how neither you or Leon wanted a part in the musical" Kevin rambled.

Sweet Pea ignored the end of the boy's sentence, instead he looked at his girlfriend. "Princess, help out a friend." "He's not my friend" Rosalie snapped.

Kevin gasped, slightly offended. "That was rude."

Sweet Pea knew she wouldn't listen to what Kevin would say, perhaps there was another way to get her to help. "Just think, if you don't help, the whole musical could be disastrous." "Me being an extra won't stop that, and with Oscar involved, it's bound to be a disaster either way" Rosalie replied.

An idea popped into Sweet Pea's head, one that was true. It was no lie Oscar had a strange infatuation with 'Josie McCat', it was obvious, especially to his friends.

"This is Oscar's chance to get close to your friend, the cat girl he likes. Do you really want him to be embarrassed and fail? Or to humiliate himself completely?" Sweet Pea whispered too quiet for Kevin to hear.

Rosalie growled playfully as she looked at her boyfriend. "You're a manipulative asshole." Sweet Pea put his hand to his chest. "Damn Princess, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."

Kevin looked between the two, desperately waiting for an answer. "So? Is that a yes?" "Yes, I'll be an extra."

"Oh thank you, Rosalie. Just remember what you said, next year you're going to be the lead" Kevin reminded her.

Rosalie smirked as she looked at her boyfriend. "Yeah and Sweet Pea can be the male lead." Sweet Pea scoffed. "Not a chance. You can't get me singing on the stage." "Wanna bet?" Rosalie bit down on her lip causing Sweet Pea to smirk.

The girl did things to him, things no one else would ever be able to do, and he loved it.
