Chapter3: Curious Behaviour

Chapter3-Curious Behaviour

March 2nd, 2011

 It's now March. 7th Anthem's new single, Lights On, was a Top 10 hit. Now they're getting ready to start rehearsals for their up-coming tour, and their next single, Hypnotizer. All this while filming The Delinquents.

 Melissa was in her office, setting up appointments for singers and pop bands. Ever since she was fired by 7A, she was hit with a lawsuit by the band for spying on them and stealing their personal files. She hired the best lawyers, but she knew that there was no way of winning when the band has Andrew Hawthorne and his lawyer parents.

 She needed a break from meetings and lawsuits. So she decided to get back to her plot to destroy Andyson. She saw how the young couple went from being distant to lovey-dovey in a matter of seconds. She could tell that they were back. Even the break-up rumours died down. They were just as hot as Bailstin.

 Feeling disparate, Melissa decided to read text messages she received by hacking into 7A's cell-phones. These texts were from before they got new phones and encrypting them. She read the messages that were exchanged between Andrew and Alyson.

 She didn't understand why the young couple had to text each other. She felt disgusted reading the romantic texts...that is until she saw something interesting. After reading through the texts, and similar messages. She called up Ethan.

 A bit later Ethan arrived at her office. He saw her grinning from ear to ear. He asked, "You got something?"

 Melissa replied as she held a packet of papers, "Oh, I got something. It won't stop the lawsuit, but it could potentially break up Andrew and Alyson. Maybe for good."

 Now it was Ethan's turn to grin, and it was full of scheming. He asked, "What is it that could permanently end Andyson?"

 She gave him the packet as she explained, "Do you remember when you told me that you think there's something about Andrew that doesn't sit with you? Well, I think I know what it is. There are texts exchanged between Andrew and Alyson. He was complaining to her about a choreographer named Brandon. I'm guessing this guy is 7th Anthem's choreographer. Anyway, Andrew was saying how rude and arrogant Brandon is. Alyson's not saying much, just that she's okay with Andrew ragging as she had a crush on the guy."

 Ethan stared at Melissa, and asked, "Do you know who this Brandon is?"

 "When I was reading the texts, I remembered that Alyson would have posters in her room. The posters were of that band she was obsessed with, S Club 8. She would have posters of two of three guys in that band. One was some guy with crazy brown hair. Calvin, I think his name was. The other guy had a toothy grin. I think it was Brandon. So I looked into band, and Brandon Hilton. I looked at his Twitter page and the most recent pictures. I figured that Brandon is gay."

 Ethan said, "I knew Brandon was gay. I knew since Beacon Hill High became obsessed with S Club 8. But what's that got to do with Andrew?"

 Melissa said, "Based on the texts, Andrew seems a bit obsessed with Brandon. He's always criticizing Brandon."

 "So you're saying that Andrew might have a crush on Brandon?"

 "Exactly."

 Ethan, once again, gave an evil grin. He said, "This is brilliant. I kind of sensed that Andrew might be bisexual, but I wasn't sure. I remember when he and I used to be friends, he would always tell me about his experience in dance classes, acting lessons, and TV stints. He didn't say much about what he thought about the girls, but he would always talk about how either great or rude the guys were. At the same time, he would say how much he wanted to be with Alyson, but was too prideful to tell her."
