"Sweet payback"

Ariel

The next day, I left for my morning exercises as usual but was disappointed on not seeing Phil, I wondered if the kiss meant anything to him and at the same time wondered why he didn't show up. Nevertheless, I finished my exercises and left for home. Jasmine volunteered to stay the whole day with me, she called home sick and was granted a day rest by her boss. We spent the whole morning watching JN's shows, I pretended to be enjoying it but in reality, I was sketching my tonight's plan while listening to her bicker.

Later in the afternoon, we went shopping together, bought groceries and some nice clothes, we cooked lunch together and ate while talking about random things. Night came and we began to prepare for JN's concert, I was inside my room arranging my tools in a small bag when Jasmine walked into my room with a white shirt in hand, it had JN boldly written on it with a picture of him in front of the shirt, she smiled widely and dropped it on my bed "you can wear this best" she went for the door then turned "what are you doing?" She asked suspiciously, "urmm.. nothing" I let out a nervous chuckle, "well, if you say so" she drawled exiting the room and I heaved a sigh of relief, I quickly wore the shirt and my black denim pant, I pulled my jacket with a detachable hood over my clothes and carefully tied the small bag behind me, I walked out of the room to meet Jasmine so that we could get going. She packed her hair up in a ponytail and wore a similar shirt to the one she gave me over a white short. "I promise you, you will enjoy the..." she was talking when she noticed my odd dressing "why are you dressed in black and not wearing the shirt I gave you?, Have you perhaps changed your mind?" She asked, I rolled my eyes and unzipped my jacket to reveal my inner shirt which was the shirt she gave me "now, can we start going?" I asked zipping up my jacket, "someone is eager to see JN huh? Hold on" she said dashing back to her room and I slumped on the chair, "that arrogant jerk won't know what hit him" I smirked evily, Jasmine walked right back in the living room and we left for the show.

We got to the venue for the concert and I was surprised to see a lot of people waiting for JN's arrival. Jasmine ran off and came back minutes later and handed a ticket to me"isn't it great that we will be sitting on the same roll" she squealed, a young girl of about sixteen turned to us and recognized me as the lady from the news, she was about to raise alarm but I was quick to cover her mouth and drag her to a secluded area "shut it okay" I spoke in a menacing voice and she nodded in fear, I wore a black face mask and cap, I pulled the hood of my jacket over my face and walked back to meet Jasmine when a black car drove in and everyone rushed towards it. I shifted to the far end of the building and watched as JN came out of the car and was led inside with his security holding his fans back from getting to him. I watched as he was finally led into the building and the fans followed behind screaming on top of their voices, his Driver made sure to keep his car locked before walking into the building. I walked out of my hiding place and went straight for the car, I smiled satisfactorily as I packed my tools back into my bag and walked into the building. The show ended and JN sat down with his security behind as his fans came one by one for an autograph. Jasmine got hers and together, we left for home.

JN

I paced up and down my office as I thought of the person behind my flat tyres, yes tyres because the person punctured the four tyres of my car, neither the engine nor brakes was tampered with which means the person is not after my life, but who would do such, I wondered. Just then a knock came on the door and my manager walked in carrying a laptop, "we got the CCTV footage of the building" he said making the video on the laptop play before dropping it before me. I watched as a lady walked tactically to my car and punctured my tyres with wide eyes, she wrote something on the car bonnet after puncturing the tyres. "Ask the driver if anything was written on the car" I said replaying the video, the lady's pink hair came in view but she was quick to hide it, interesting. "Sir, he reported that letter A was found on the car bonnet" he said. "A... A .." I repeated with my hands under my jaw, then it hit me. "I need you to search on Ariel and get me her address" I said, "but there are many Ariels in the country" my manager said "just get the addresses, there must be one Ariel with a pink hair" I said relaxing on my seat with a smirk.

Jasmine and I sat in the living room watching news, when an article popped up, it was about JN going home in a taxi after his concert yesterday, it was reported that his car tyres strangely became flat before the show ended. I burst into laughter and Jasmine glared at me "it's not funny" she was saying before a knock came on the door. "I'll get it" she said moving to the door. She let out an excited scream on seeing JN and I jumped out of my seat in fear, "did he find out already?" I thought to myself. He walked in fully into the house with his manager behind, Jasmine offered them a seat and he sat with an evil smirk playing on his lips. "We found out your silly prank miss A" he started and I felt all the blood drain from my face, how could I be so stupid to leave a trace of me. "Still in doubt?" He asked "Mr Mike, please show miss A the video" he said relaxing on the couch, Mr Mike as he called earlier showed me the CCTV footage of last night, Jasmine let out a surprised gasp and I closed my eyes in shame. "Miss A, I'm sure you know that this is enough evidence to have you tried in the law court for attempted murder of a celebrity" he said calmly.

I knew he was right but thankfully my face was not in view, "you should know that it was only a pay back for what you did to my bike, jerk" I said trying to prove that I'm not shaken from his threat, "then I guess you won't mind us calling the cops on you" he said and I remained mute, "okay, Mr Mike" he shrugged as Mr Mike began calling the cops "please wait" I shouted and they looked at me expectantly. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath "I'm sorry for destroying your car, what can I do to earn your forgiveness?". "I was expecting you to say that a while ago, Mr Mike, give miss A the contract to sign" he said with an evil smile and I was handed a file and a pen by Mr Mike, "you will be living in my house for two weeks" he dropped the bombshell, "WHAT!!" I and Jasmine shouted in unison.
