AN: As usual I don't own MI High or anything else you recognise, I just own Demi and Jamie.

As I hung up on Harry, Jamie returned to my side. "Hey, where did you go?" I asked.

"Nowhere important." She said biting her lip, as sure sign she was lying.

"Jai, I know when you're lying. Where did you go? What did you do?" She sighed, and said,

"Don't hate me, OK? Promise me." I nodded, she was acting as if she had caused World War 3 or something! "I told Tom to back off. You'll thank me one day, right?" What?

"Why?" I asked. Why did she feel the need to get involved in everything? It could be really annoying sometimes!

"Dems, I've met many guys like him. They pretend to be interested, and then break you. I don't want you to go through that pain. I was just trying to help." I nodded, and she hugged me. "You'll find someone better one day Dems." What if she was wrong? She then returned to Melissa, as everyone prepared for the show.

"Hey. How are Zoe and Dan doing?" I asked, going back to Tom and Aneisha.

"They're fine. They had a scare a moment ago involving a RAT but..."

"A rat? What is Dan afraid of rodents now?" I said, slightly confused.

"No, a Remote Anti-Intruder Tactical Device , it's a surveillance system. Thought you'd know that." He said coldly. I sighed, and looked towards the stage as Melissa walked up to the microphone. "Welcome everyone. Tonight marks the beginning of an era of friendship between the people of Boldovia and Great Britain. We are pleased to present a selection of the finest music and art from both our countries. And for our first act, please welcome to the stage, Roly." Melissa said, before swapping places with Roly and getting off stage. Roly then began tapping spoons against his legs, was this his act? How amazing. Now that sounded harsh. Never mind. "I'm guessing Zoe's going to have do a recreation of Mission Impossible to get to the Aardvark? You know, descend from a wire?" Tom nodded. "Zoe, be careful." I said into my earpiece. "Dan, don't drop her."

"You know I wouldn't Dems." Dan said, his voice strained. As Roly's act was coming to a slow gradual end, Olga got up, and went to leave the room. Where's she going? We need to keep an eye on her. "Aneisha, can you set up a roadblock for her? If you get my meaning?" I said, watching Olga. Neish nodded, and headed off.

A few minutes later Neish said over comms, "Sorry guys, she's coming your way."

"Right, it's fine, just once you have the Aardvark get the hell out of there." I muttered. Roly had now, thankfully, finished his act and Melissa was up introducing Janus. All eyes were on him, even Tom had put his camera down to watch. There was still something slightly off about Janus. Didn't know what, but there was. "Thank you. This song is dedicated to friends from overseas." Janus said, as he began to strum his guitar and sing.

"Janus is great isn't he?" Tom said, smiling. Wow, I think Tom has an idol.

"He's alright." Aneisha said.

"You don't like him?" Tom asked, as if he was offended that someone didn't like Janus.

"He seems a bit pleased with himself." Aneisha said. At least it's not just me who doesn't like him. "How are the others getting on?" She added looking at the camera.

"Zoe's taking ages." Tom muttered.

"That's funny, I never see you volunteer for the dangerous stuff." Aneisha said.

"Yeah Tom, if you're that worried about how long she's taking we'll tie you up on the ceiling with lasers beneath you, and see how you like it." I added.

"You know what I meant." Tom said.

"Sorry. I'll be glad when she's safe too." Aneisha said. I nodded. Wow, had Jamie really annoyed me that much? Why was I snapping at nearly everything anyone said? I need to calm down. "I'll be back, I just need to calm down." I said, before walking outside. I sighed and mentally counted backwards from ten. When I looked up, I saw someone watching me across the street. As I went to get up, I felt something hit me on my head. "Ow." I said, rubbing my head. It was a note attached to a rock. I unfolded the note, and read it.

Demi,

Get back inside! It's not safe for you to be alone outside.

M x

I cautiously looked around before heading back inside. Carrie might have been right. Someone might be watching. It had gone on for too long to be my imagination now, surely?

AN: And I'm going to leave it there! I can reveal that in the next chapter, something big will be revealed about one of Demi's friends. To find out what exactly, you're gonna have to wait for the next chapter, which will probably be up either later tonight or tomorrow! Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
