Janet's P. O. V

"He will come after you, soon."

This has refused to leave my head since yesterday. I had waited for fifteen minutes inside that classroom, before I finally got out and ran out of school.

I don't know why, but I was a little scared. Normally, you are not scared because you know what you're dealing with. But in case of Steven Rome, you can never really tell. Maybe that's why I was a little freaked out.

I shake my head and take a deep breath to clear my thoughts.

Forget about it Janet. You have work to do.

I stuff the rest of my things in my bag before leaving my room. I have to reach school an hour early today since I need to finish my work in the auditorium.

I walk over to Kiara's room and turn the door knob, praying she has left her door open. The door opens up immediately.

Thank God.

I wish, I could say- I open the door to reveal Kiara sleeping straight in one corner of her bed, her blanket covering her and that she resembles an angel.

But I can't say that, because that's totally not the case.

Kiara is lying on her stomach with her hair all over her face and the blanket is crumpled and hanging from the bed. It looks like she's hit by a storm.

I shake my head at her and grab the car keys. I reach the door and I'm about to leave when I stop and turn around with a mischievous smile.

Well, initially, I was planning on not disturbing her. Now, I'm not so sure if I want to do that.

Well, she was laughing at my misery for the entire evening yesterday, after I came back home. There needs to be some payback.

"Oh my God! Look who's here, Leonardo Di Caprio!" I yell on top of my voice and like I assumed, Kiara immediately sits up straight. She is still not fully awake. He eyes are half closed and her hair looks like a nest on her head. She's looking around the room, with her half closed eyes.

"Where is he?" she asks, turning to look at me.

"Open your eyes," I say and she rubs her eyes before opening them wider and looking around again.

She rolls her eyes and looks at me. "He's still not there,"she says and I just shrug.

"I just said open you eyes. I didn't say if you'll open your eyes you will find him," I say before smirking and she scoffs.

"Why are you irritating me early in the morning? What time is it-" she grabs her phone to check the time. The minute she sees the time, she scowls at me.

"You woke me up an hour early! Why?" she screams and I give her an innocent smile.

"Well, I am leaving for school and I wanted to wish the president good morning, so I woke you up," I reason and I thought she would blush but she just raises an eyebrow and gives me a dumbfounded look.

"You're going to school in these clothes?" she asks me and gives me a once over.

I'm wearing my black sweat pants with a white v-neck t-shirt. I look at myself once to see if I have worn something wrong and check my t-shirt to see if it's torn or something.

"Yeah, why? Is something wrong with this?" I ask her and she rolls her eyes.

"Janet you're in your senior year! You can't go to school in your sweats," she sighs and this time, I roll my eyes.

I need to do work and so I have to wear comfortable clothes. You can't really expect me to work in the auditorium in a dress, right?

I didn't explain this to Kiara, though, because I know she wouldn't approve me going in my sweats anyway. So I just start singing Chris Brown's song.

"Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,zero," I start to sing and she gives me a puzzled look.

"What!?" she asks.

"That's how many fucks I give," I finish and she just screams in annoyance. I leave her room and shut the door before giggling my way to the car.

Nothing better than irritating your best friend/cousin early in the morning.

****************************

"You rat! Why the hell where you eavesdropping, huh? Can't keep your nose out of people's business?" I hear someone screaming as I approach the auditorium.

I had reached school to find it pretty much empty. I walk towards the corridor, when I hear this commotion, and it is coming from the boy's washroom.

"What are you talking about Steven? I didn't do anything I swear!" a poor and frightened voice comes and I stiffen.

Someone is taking the beating for something I did. I can't let this happen.

I shut my eyes and take a determined breath. I look around me to see if anyone is watching the act I'm about to perform.

Thank God the corridor is empty.

I take one last breath before entering the boy's washroom.

Guilt is one hell of an emotion, it can make you do anything.

The minute I swing the door open, Jason and Steven look at me like deer caught in the headlights. Relief washes over Jason's face and Steven's shocked expression changes into one of annoyance.

"This is the freaking boys washroom!" he yells and I look around if any other boys are present.

No one. Thank God.

"Exactly! It's a boys washroom and not a wrestling ring! Just leave him alone!" I yell and Steven narrows his eyes at me while Jason is looking at both of us with horror in his eyes.

"Which part of mind your own business did you not understand that day?" Steven said turning to me and still catching Jason by his collar.

"I am minding my own business. This guy is innocent! Just leave him alone!" I say and take a step ahead. I was standing at the threshold of the room all this while. Now, I am officially inside the boy's washroom.

I look down at my feet and around me once before closing my eyes and shaking my head in disgust.

I can't believe I just did this.

"And how do you know that he is innocent?" Steven asks me, sounding surprisingly calm. I look at him and he is not angry anymore. I just narrow my eyes at his sudden change of behaviour.

"I asked you something?" he says after raising his eyebrow at me.

"Oh yeah ah-I-uh know because uh-" I try to think of a really good lie but nothing comes up.

Just say the truth and face it Janet. When did you start getting scared of him?

"I know that because it was me yesterday," I say and jut my chin out stubbornly, trying to look all bold. But actually, in truth, I may be a little scared.

Gone is the calm behaviour the minute I say this. He leaves Jason, who sprints out, and walks right towards me and pushes me into the wall with force.

"I told you to stay. Away. From. Me," he growls and I flinch slightly before standing up straighter and looking him in the eye.

"Curiosity killed the cat," I say and he lets out a humourless laugh.

"You bet she did. I-" this time I cut him off.

"Listen Steven, I didn't follow you. I just happened to be there and now I kinda know your little secret. So why don't you do me a favour? You let me go now and I won't complain about you doing your creepy business in school," I say and before he can say anything, the bathroom door swings open, and there standing in all her glory, is Mrs McCartney.

Out of all people, she had to be the one to catch me with Steven Rome in the boys washroom. Just great.
