Janet's P. O. V

"We should have recorded this entire scene and played it during the competition. We would have slayed it."

Steven's remark catches my attention and I look away from a walking away Kiara to him.

He's eating! He's freaking eating a packet of chips!

"And you think it's the perfect time for you to be eating chips, right?" I say, my voice low and dangerous.

He smirks."You're the perfect head of the drama club. You literally attract drama."

I gape at him and irritation rushes through me. I clench and unclench my fists, looking around to throw something at his face. Nothing is around and I don't want to wreck my shoes.

Lucky him.

I scream in frustration and start walking towards the exit when I'm hit by the question of the millennium.

Who should I go after? Jason or Kiara?

"Excuse me assistant, please go and catch hold of Jason for me. Keep him with you, I'll be there in five."

I bark at Steven and he gets up with a frown. "Try not calling me that next time."

I want to smirk and get back at him but I have a cousin to handle, so think better of it.

I immediately rush behind Kiara to solve out matters with her.

To say she is angry is an understatement. She's beyond infuriated and I'm really scared. We're getting some nosy people's undivided attention and I glare at them. They whisper and disperse.

I make her understand and give her the option of backing out of this if she wants, after reconsideration. We settle this and I agree to meet her today after school.

So Kiara situation under control. Now mission Jason Wellington.

I rush in the other direction and pass the auditorium. I move ahead and pass some classes that are occupied with students and teachers doing daily school work. I try to avoid their eyes and dash past the doors.

I'm supposed to be attending class but the drama doesn't just seem to get over. To top it all, that jackass instead of helping me, tells me that I'm the one responsible for it.

I hear Jason's angry whispers from the classroom at the end of the hallway. I run to the classroom and see Jason sitting on the table with his arms crossed like a five year old. His jaw is clenched and he's tapping his fingers on his elbow. Steven, on the other end, is sitting on the table with a smirk, his chips still in his hand. He munching loudly on purpose, his eyes lighting up with amusement.

They look up and notice me. Steven's smirk grows wider and Jason's stands up, his anger directed towards me.

"Jason, I completely forgot you were the actor...," I trail off, not knowing what to say.

Really Janet? That's the best excuse you could come up with?

"Really Janet? That's the best excuse you could come up with?" Jason and my subconscious ask me at the same time.

I sigh and get straight to the point."Jason my neck was under the saw at that point. I had no idea who my actress would be and I needed a saviour. Irrespective of how angry Kiara got, I knew she would have played along. I needed that at that point. So I said her name."

Jason scoffs and Steven looks on attentively, while chewing the chip really slowly, like he was watching the climax of a movie.

"You know that's why I stayed away from you and Delna more particularly. Because you girls just can't keep your hands out of matters. You just had to try to set us up right? And then covering it up with this silly excuse!"

Jason finishes his rant with me shaking my head rapidly in denial. Steven found this the perfect time to whistle and howl.

"Woah! I knew it! You have the hots for her. So this is what it's all about!"

We both look at him. Jason looks annoyed while I narrow my eyes at him and put my hands on my hips.

What the fuck is wrong with him?

"I used to like the old Steven better. He used to keep his mouth shut," I seethe and he just rolls his eyes.

"Last time I remember, you were too annoyed with him and you wanted him to change."

"Atleast, he knew when to talk and how to talk appropriately," I argue and fold my hands on my chest.

He raised an eyebrow before talking again."If you're trying to become my teacher, then don't, because you're not qualified enough."

I scoff and shake my head in disbelief."Off course I'm not qualified! I don't have a degree in dealing with assholes."

"Stop!" This time Jason spoke up in an agitated voice. He looks between the both of us. I throw him an apologetic look. I almost forgot he was here.

I glare at Steven one last time before giving Jason my full attention.

"Listen Jason. I don't believe in match making. Infact, I stay away from all matters involving that four letter word. I would never do that to you or more importantly, I would never do that to my cousin. Just because I know you like her, that does not mean I'm going to try to set you up with her or help you get her. That's not my thing. I said the truth earlier. I said Kiara's name only because I can depend on her. Besides, I just spoke to her. She's going to give it a thought. If she doesn't want to do it, I will replace her. So you don't have to worry about anything."

I explain and he visibly calm downs. He takes a deep breath and looks down in thought. Steven is checking his phone with that signature serious look of his.

That's a quick change of mood.

Jason clears his throat before speaking again."If she says yes I'm out."

I widen my eyes at him." I don't remember giving you that option."

"I'm giving it to myself," he said and I bite my lower lip in thought.

This is too much.

I take a deep breath and take a step towards him."I hate to use this card on you but I have a lot more of your secrets that can get you in trouble. Don't make me open my mouth Jason. You're perfect for the character. The male lead of the script that we chose has a lot in common with you. So, I don't care how, but I'm going to make sure you do it."

He rolls his tongue in his mouth. He knows he doesn't have an option, it's written all over his face."Okay then. We have a deal. I do the play and you don't tell this to anyone. After this drama is over, you have to forget about it. You will not be allowed to use this to blackmail me again. You can never, what come may, tell this to anyone. After this, I become invisible to you and you make sure I become invisible for everyone else as well. Including Kiara. You make sure no one bothers me during the rehearsals. I want my life back after I do this. The life where I'm invisible."

I give him a dumbfounded look."How can I make people forget you?"

"Then don't let people get to know me. I'll come in, do my part and walk out. If someone tries to talk to me, don't let them. Give me a corner of my own where no one bothers me. In short become my body guard. I don't care what you do. These are my terms of the deal. Are you up for it?" he asks me and I think for a few seconds.

It's not like I have an option. I'll have to do it. Anyway people don't talk to him. I think it shouldn't be so difficult.

I nod my head before sealing it."We're on."
