Chapter 20: The fight

A day passed and we haven't seen or heard from Charlotte. Maybe she was exhausted from sneaking around the stadium that she went straight to her room and forgot to talk to us, I doubt it. I had to start recording my song but I was behind on the lyrics. I tried everything they just don't come. If they do, they are stupid and pointless. I was currently in my room trying to find lyrics. I sang aloud trying to make a melody, some lyrics, but nothing worked.

"Ughhhh" I groaned loudly.

"What's got you frustrated?" Said Damien as he entered the room. I flinched and I said,

"Damn it, Damien. You scared me!" He laughed a little,

"sorry. But seriously, why are you frustrated?"

"Damn, you really like to know what I always do" I rolled my eyes.

"Of course, you're mysterious" he walked to his bed and sat. I have to tell him, he's a friend, and he has the right to know what we're trying to find. Besides, we could use more people helping us.

"Ok, you really want to know?" I asked and he nodded,

"of course"

"Ok, we might think that..." suddenly someone knocks on our door. He sighs and rolls his eyes. I ignore him and I open the door to see who it is. It was Jacks he looked nervous.

"Are you busy, can I talk to you?" He tapped his foot in the floor and had his arms crossed.

"Sure" I said I exited my room and closed the door.

"I finally heard about what happened to Charlotte"

"Oh my god, I was wondering where she was?" I crossed my arms and Jacks continued explaining.

"Well she's not coming back. She just got disqualified. They announced it last night" he said and I stared at him mouth wide.

"Are you serious?" He nodded. Why didn't I heard the announcement. I was probably asleep by that time. "We need to find out what actually happened to her" he said.

"I agree, we need to talk to the others" I said.

"I will talk to them. And tell them to meet me at my room at five" he said and I nodded and he left. I returned to my room and I saw Damien arms crossed with an annoyed look.

"What did you want to tell me?" He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Sit, I'll start from the beginning" I told him everything, about the judges creepy look, the napkin, the conversation we overheard and the Hector, Charlotte situation. He understood it completely and decided to help. It was five and I took Damien with me to Jacks room. He probably didn't want to but he needs to join us. We entered Jacks's room and he immediately rolled his eyes once he saw Damien.

"What is he doing here?" Louise asked and I said,

"he's with us. I told him. We need more people to help us"

"Only him, we can't have a large group in this. People will start to say things and that leads to consequences" Clarissa said and I understood completely. She was right. We can't have to many people. The more it is, the more difficult it is to come up with a stable plan to work this out. Jacks looked annoyed and Damien sat as far away from his as possible. I stood there watching them both offer me their side to sit next to them. I sat next to Jacks and Damien looked disappointed. Clarissa stood up and started talking.

"Ok, So Charlotte is eliminated. That plan blew in our faces. We need to think of something else, something creative that won't get us eliminated" We all thought of ideas and Damien was the first one to talk,

"One of us could sneak in the rooms of the stadium while we get dressed up to perform"

"They are all distracted and getting ready, it could work" Louise said.

"It's risky, what if they notice?" Veronica said as she played with her fingers nervously.

"They have to be quick and smart" Clarissa said, I raised my hand and what I said next was something I regretted,

"I can do it. I'm a three star, basically a favorite. They can't disqualify me. If they do, the fans will stop watching because their favorite got eliminated and that means less views" Clarissa pointed at me,

"Genius, I love it!" she raised her voice making Veronica flinch.

"It's too risky, someone else should do it" Jacks said and Damien agreed by saying,

"Adryan is clever but we can't have him found. Such a risky mission. It would cost him everything" Jacks rolled his eyes and said,

"let me handle this" he raised his hand at him.

"No you can't, I'm his roommate and I know more about him than you do!" Damien stood up.

"Since when is this about us knowing him more?" Jacks asked as he stood up as well. I grabbed Jacks wrist, "Jacks, don't" he yanked himself off my arm,

"no, Adryan. Let me say what I want" He and Damien stood face to face.

"Ever since you told me that we would wait to see who he chooses and we would not try to fight. Well guess what? I'm not doing shit!" Jacks said and Damien scoffed.

"You think, you're the one for him. Seriously what have you done? Be a fake gentleman around him, act like a prince making him fall in love with you? You're Fake, Fake! That's what you will always be" Damien said and Jacks looked angry as hell. He had his hands bawled in fists. Suddenly Jacks punched him right in the jaw making him fall down. Everyone in the room gasped,

"oh my god!" Veronica said as she hugged Louise. I got up angrily and I stood in the middle of the mess.

"Stop it! Take it serious guys. I'm going to do it and that's it!" The girls looked at me shocked. I've never been this angry over boys before. I just can't stand them fighting.
