The secret behind the crown

PLAN IS WORKING ANYWAY

JASON

I was annoyed with Sara. After all , she's my best friend and she's taking her sister's side. We are like BFF !!! I stood with her against all odds. But she is so stubborn.

" YOU ---" I screamed. But was interrupted by a text from Kai.

" Don't worry. I'll use this time with Giya as gaining information about her likes and dislikes. And give you the information."

Well, I was happy to have a friend like Kai. When my trust-worthy friend betrayed me ......... a friend like Kai became my shield. I smiled and said " Okay. If you don't want to help me then don't do it." Later , after we finished our work, Our boys' gang walked out together for planning.

" Okay, here's the address where she works. I have written each and everything on this page." Kai said handing me the paper.

" Wow !!! That was fast !!!! She told you a lot of things." Zack said smiling.

" I guess she doesn't know that you are in our team." Laughed Omo.

" Okay, guys. I gotta go. I have to walk Sara home." Kai said walking away.

" Kai, Thanks !" I shouted. He gave me a thumbs-up.

" What should I do now ?" I asked.

" Okay. Start playing the bad boy role." Omo said with smirk.

GIYA

I and Sara walked out together. I told her everything that Kai asked me. She was finally getting excited to take the revenge.

" Wow !!!! Giya, I'm proud of you ! You are indeed my sister !" She said happily.

" I made him think that I didn't knew that he was in Jason's team. I gave him all the wrong information." I laughed.

" I never knew you have this side of yours ! If I ever have problem and I want to take revenge then I'll come to you."

" Don't come to me ! Go to that guy of yours ! He's waiting for you !" I said pointing towards Kai standing at a distance.

" Nooooo !!! I want to stay with you !" She said holding my hand and resting her head on my shoulder.

" You better stay with him. And give me new updates about the boys' next move. "

She pouted at me and walked away. I was glad that I tricked Jason's team. Obviously, he might be happy over my fake information. I went to work with a big smile and a happy mood. I work by making KFC'S deliveries to people's home. I got a delivery to make so I went to deliver it.

JASON

The paper which Kai gave me , has the number of the KFC through which I can make delivery. And when Giya will make delivery at my house. She will have to stay with me and enjoy the meal together. I dailed the number but it was not working. I dailed it again and again bt the only thing which I heard was ' The number you've dailed is invalid. Please check your number again.' After thinking over it, I decided to call my boys on conference.

_____________________________________________

" Hey ! Say ! What is it ?"- Omo

" We are all here to hear it." -Kai.

" Guys, I tried the number that Kai has written down. But the number is invalid."- Me

" You mean, Giya provided us a wrong number." - Zack.

" I don't think so." - Me

" I wrote it. I asked her the number and she gave it to me. I cross checked it. It couldn't be wrong."- Kai.

" I guess guys, Giya tricked us !" - Omo.

" Giya doesn't do such things." - Me.

" No, No , Jason. He's right. These girls might have tricked us. They know Kai is also close to us. So Giya provided us the fake information." - Zack.

" Giya is not like that. It must be Sara. Only she thinks up such plans." - Me.

" Hey ! Why are you bringing my girlfriend in between of this ?" - Kai.

" GIRLFRIEND?" - Me, Omo and Zack.

" She's your girlfriend ?" - Omo

" When did she become your girlfriend?" - Zack

" She didn't told me anything about it. Oh god ! She started hiding things from me." - Jason

" No ! No ! No ! No ! She didn't said ' yes ' yet. But I take her as my girlfriend. So don't blame her , Jason." - Kai

" My Giya is such a simple girl. She will never have an idea like this. I know Sara for many years, she gets these sort of ideas." - Me

" What kind of best friend you are ? She will be so hurt. If she knew you tell such things about her !" - Kai

" Don't worry. She knows I say such things."- Me

" Guys !" - Zack

" Guys !" - Omo

" Guys ! Stop it !" - Zack

" It's not the topic. We have decided to discuss." - Omo.

" Yeah. Correct. Jason, just take some rest. Calm yourself down. And Kai, you too focus on your studies." - Zack.

" Let's talk about this tomorrow." - Omo

" Okay." -Jason and Kai.

" Bye." - Everyone.

_____________________________________________

I decided to order some burger. To calm myself down, I'm not a foodie but I need something delicious to think up of something. When the delivery boy came inside my home since I was in living room and the door was opened by our servants. I looked up to see Giya as delivery boy .... sorry, delivery girl !

GIYA

I entered a big house like a mansion. It had big lawn and wide space for many cars to be parked. The house was surrounded by greenery so it looked pretty appealing. When a woman opened the door.

" Your delivery." I said holding the box.

" Uh, it might be for Junior sir." She smiled and allowed me to come inside.

I walked inside and found Jason staring at me with wide eyes. I didn't understood. I came to his house. Did ... did I mistakenly gave him our number to order ? Or it's a co-incidence ? I saw him giving me a smirk. I think he outwit me ! Damn it ! His smirk changed into smile. I lost in this round of the game ! Arrrrrhhhhh !!!

" Sir , your order." I gave him the box and a fake smile.

" Oh, yeah !" He smiled as if his failed plan worked. But I know this was HIS plan to outwit me ! He gave me the money. I smiled and turned to leave.

" Uh, coupon !" He said.

I forgot about it. To increase the business, KFC was providing coupons to it's customers. I gave a fake smile and his coupon. I left his place but when I reached back my workplace. I was told to make a delivery again to his place. I went to his place again. This time he opened the door and smiled.

" Your delivery." I said.

" Your money." He said handing me the money with a smile. I turned to leave but....

" Coupon." He said happily.

" Why ? Why you want a coupon ?"

" It's the rule, right ? To increase the business. KFC is new in this area so I heard they are providing coupons so I'm asking you what I deserved."

Gosh ! He's trying to irritate me like this. I won't get irritated. I'll show him that I'll win this game.

" Sure. Here it is !" I said.

As expected, another order from Jason. I went to his place again. I was losing my temper now. He waited outside this time in his lawn. He handed me the money before I gave him his order.

" Why do you order so much ?" I asked.

" You know, I recently have developed an hobby to collect coupons. So I like collecting the coupons." He smiled.

I calmly gave him, his coupon and walked off. One more time ! And he's dead ! I had enough of him this time..... I'm losing my temper. As I reached my workplace again, the same story happened. I was picked on my nerve, I went to his place. He was standing with his money in his hands and a big smile. I walked to him, gave him his order, he gave me my money and very shamelessly extended his hand for coupon. I took a bunch of coupons and threw it on his face.

" Oh gosh !" He said picking up the fallen coupons. He was smiling except for being angry. He was having fun irritating me like .....

" There are only 9 coupons here. Give me another one." He said.

" What ? Are you crazy ? I gave you a bunch of coupons and you want more."

" I'm asking for one more. That's it."

" I won't give it to you." I said .

" Fine. Have it your way. I'll get my coupon anyways." He said with a smirk and dailed a number and called someone.

" Hello, this is Jason Stanwood. I would like to complain about the service that you are providing me....... yes, I asked for a coupon from the delivery that I made but I haven't got any." He smiled and extended the phone to me. I took it.

" What are you doing ? Give him the coupon right now !" Screamed my boss.

" Yes, yes, Sir." I replied.

He hanged up the phone and again shamelessly extended his hand. I reluctantly gave him a coupon.

" That's enough or you want more ?" I asked.

" No, this is enough. By the way, the service is pretty nice."

" Jason, you have become obsessed with coupons !" I said angrily.

" No ! Not at all ! Did you forgot another offer of KFC ?"

" What ?"

" A person who has 10 coupons can order deliveries for free irrespective of number of times he has ordered."

I was shook because I never thought about it. He is going to keep giving more orders and I have to deliver it again and again.

" Don't worry. I won't order again. Unless..."

" Unless, what ?" I asked.

" Unless you agree to spend time with me. I won't order anything."

" Jason, you know I'm busy."

" Don't tell me to make more orders, Giya. You might think I'm playing around with you. But trust me , I have no interest in it. I just wanted to see you and spend time with you. But you always say that' you are busy ' so tell me any other way through which I can see you more often ?" He asked with sincerity.

I got no answers for his question. Because I know I was running away from him and he ..... he was just trying to keep pace with me. I was neglecting him and he's keeping me as his first priority. Suddenly, it didn't felt like it was a game between both the teams. It felt like he was trying to find a way to hold me in one place so he could look at me for eternity. He went back inside without saying anything to me. I guess I made him look like a fool in front of everyone. Maybe, I was treating him wrong.

KAI

While roaming in the corridor, I saw the chart on the notice board. It was filled with appreciation for many people. I decided to write something for Sara too. Since the chart was completely filled, students have started sticking notes around the chart. I went to my class to bring my sticky notes and a pen. I wrote for Sara " Thank you for being such an amazing Headgirl." and I wrote for Giya too. " Thank you for helping me in studies. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met ! - To Giya". It was so congested to stick the notes. Finally, when I found the place to stick my notes. But I also found a note for Sara " Sara, you are an amazing person. You are the best thing that could happen to anybody in life ♡♡". WHAT IS IT ? IS IT A HEART ? SOMEBODY DREW A HEART FOR SARA ? WHO'S THIS PERSON ? I took the note which was written by someone and searched for name but in vain. I took matters in my own hands and went from classroom to classroom to see if the handwriting matches with anyone. I came across a lot of people whose handwriting were similar but not the same. I was looking for the person when I ran into Jason. He was also holding a note. I hid the note in my closed fist.

KAI

Lexi's idea to create harmony in the school was trending. She has told me to write something on the chart too. But it was filled so I decided to write on small notes. I wrote for Giya " Giya, you are a pure person. I would like to thank you for giving me your time whenever I needed it." And obviously I couldn't forget my best friend. Even though, she doesn't help me but she is a good friend. So I wrote for her "Sara, you are an amazing person. You are the best thing that could happen to anybody in life ♡♡". I stuck those notes on the board but I saw a particular note which was written for Giya.

" Thank you for helping me in studies. You are the most beautiful person I have ever met ! - To Giya" That Eddie has dared to write such things about Giya. And He dared to go public with his feelings. I'LL..... I'LL KILL HIM ! HE HAS THE GUTS TO WRITE SUCH THINGS !!! I'LL BURY HIM ALIVE !!! I removed his note and went to him. I asked him if it was his but he answered " No ". Then who can write a note to Giya ? I decided to find the culprit through his handwriting. I searched through many students' writings but in vain. I couldn't find him..... No wonder, he didn't knew I loved Giya. That's why, he has the guts to do so ! I was walking to my classroom when I ran into Kai. He was also holding a note in his hand but he hid it.

" What are you doing here ?" I asked.

" I.... I..... was looking for someone."

" Oh, I see. I'll see around." I said walking away but he stopped me.

" Hey ! Jason ! Wait !"

" What ?" I asked.

" Do you mind if I ask you something ?"

" No."

" Is this your handwriting ?" He said showing me a note. Indeed, it was mine. I wrote a note for Sara. So I thought......maybe he was the one I was looking for.

" And is this your ?" I asked showing him the note. He looked up in regret. Maybe, he understood I was looking for him.

" You give me the answer first !" He said.

" Okay. Let's do it together."

We agreed to do so. I counted out to three.

" 1.....2......3 !"

" YES !" We both said in one voice.

" Did you wrote this note for Giya ?" I asked.

" Yeah. Because she is a nice girl. She helped me a lot yesterday. So I wanted to say thanks to her. But why did you wrote a note for Sara ?"

" What do you mean by why ? She's my best friend. Even though, she doesn't help me to win her sister over but she's still my best friend." I replied.

" Okay. You know.... we should keep these notes back on the board." He said.

" Yeah, I agree."

When we went back to the board, the girls were standing there and discussing something. We heard them.

" I'm telling you.... someone wrote that ' you are a beautiful person ' and sara, someone wrote that ' you are the best thing anybody would ever have in their life '. It was here ! But I don't know where it went !" Cried Lexi.

I and Kai looked at each other and hid our respective notes.

" Let's not tell them" He whispered.

" Hmmm" I agreed.

ZACK

Jason and I were sitting quietly in the library. Until Omo came to us and distracted us from books.

" Jason, I heard there are shooting taking place in different schools in England. A lot of students are injured."

" So ?" Jason asked.

" So didn't your sister went to England to study ? Is she fine over there ? I guess she is staying alone." Omo asked.

" SISTER ? YOU HAVE A SISTER ?" I asked

" Yes. You don't know about it ?" Omo asked.

" No. I had no idea about it."

" Wait ! Omo, how did you know I have a sister ?" Jason asked.

" There's nothing that I don't know." Omo boosted.

" I never heard anything about your sister, Jason." I asked.

" That's because she was sent to England at a very young age." Omo replied.

" So she must be visiting you here ?" I asked

" Nope. We go over there to visit her." Jason answered.

" But I didn't read any news about your sister in the newspaper. " I asked.

" That's because Jason and his sister were kept away from limelight from their childhood. Why do you think Jason is trending in all social media ? Because recently, he is exposed as David Stanwood's son." Omo replied.

" You sure do know a lot about this, Omo. Actually, Dad didn't want to expose us in limelight due to some personal reasons. So I and my sister were kept away from camera and reporters. She was sent to England for studies while I decided to stay with dad." Jason said.

" Ohhh..... my...God ! Amazing ! I never thought your family is so secretive. I would love to hack your accounts." I said happily.

" Hey ! What are you talking about ? I'll kill you if you do that !" Jason joked.

" Just kidding ! Just kidding ! Obviously, I won't harm my best friend's accounts." I replied.

SARA

Kai and I went on our school terrace with our sandwiches. I was eating my sandwich quietly but even Kai was quiet today. It was awkward as he's usually not like that. I tried to create distraction by pretending to choke. Thinking he would be like " Sara, are you okay ?" Or " Sara, wait here. I'll bring you water." But reality was different from expectations ! He just tapped me on the back.

" What happened ? Why are you so quiet ?" I asked.

" I thought you like those people who stay quiet."

" Uhm , Yeah I do. But you are not a person who sits quietly. So what's up ? Are you having problem with your studies ?"

" No.......Sara, if I tell you I'll be leaving you soon. Then how will you react ?"

" I would miss you. But I also know you would come back to me after few days." I said happily.

" Sara, I know I'll be back in few days but leaving you for few days is sorrowful." He said sadly.

" I'm not running away anywhere. So when you will come back, I'll be right here to welcome you. Where are you going anyways ?"

" There are some shares of mine which has to be sold. So they need the owner of the shares to be present there."

" Uh, Okay. It's not big deal. When are you going ?"

" After 2-3 days...... but Sara, I want a favour from you."

" Hmm.... what is it ?" I asked.

" Before I go.... can you tell me if your answer is ' Yes ' or ' No ' ?"

" I.... I... why ? Why so soon ? I thought you would give me some time to think over it."

" I would give you time but from tomorrow the Valentine week starts off."

" So ?" I asked.

" So I would like to spend this week with you. But I'm leaving .... so if you could tell me your answer. I would.... I would plan something really good to make up for the time we lost staying apart." He said sincerely.

For the first time, I felt he wasn't being flirty with me. He was really saying those words with sincerity. To be honest I haven't made a choice yet. I wasn't even aware of my feelings for him.

" Ahhh ! Look at this ! I made you so thoughtful. Forget it ! There is still time for you to give me an answer. Oh, yeah ! I brought you this for you. I saw it on display of a store." He said happily.

He extended a hair clip with flowers embedded in it. It was beautiful. The moment itself was beautiful. He holding that clip for me and being happy for buying it for me. I never really felt like this. It felt nice to have someone care for you. Someone like him !

" Thanks." I said taking it from him. But he took it back only to pin it on my hair. He said caressing my hair " You look beautiful. Just like I have imagined you while buying it." I smiled sweetly not because he was being sweet but because he was saying it with so much emotion that I realized..... maybe it was ' LOVE '.
