Do what you have to do to get the play - but the idea of doing anything to help 'sell' the fake should NEVER enter your mind. Why would you even entertain that?

I assume from the context that you were actually in B, in the infield? If so, then I'd be finding that ball immediately. Better yet, don't square and turn away from the pitcher before that throw goes over. Yea, it's quick - but not too hard to keep your eyes on the ball till it's pretty sure it's being thrown. You can still start turning with the body. And if he catches you and doesn't throw, you get back on that pitcher immediately.

Stay on first, and you may miss the pickoff or some other action.
