Chapter 1: Operation: Janthony

__

I didn't expect this. The fake relationship. I had known Anthony since 2014, he was funny, nice,  respectful. I had grown close to him. Not to mention how often we had choreography together in Hamilton: An American Musical. As the OBC was nearing its fifth year of preforming, we were planning to open in other countries as well. And to release a fifth anniversary challenge like a Ham4All kind of thing.

I was called an early Friday morning, tomorrow we had two shows so I was resting up, aka watching Netflix with Pippa and Vanessa while ranting about life issues. As Vanessa rambled about Sebastian attempt at swallowing a lemon whole, I got a phone call.

"Hello?"
"Jasmine?"
"Speaking."
"I need you to do a favor."
"Ok?"
"I need you to fake date Anthony."
"What."
"I need you--"
"No I heard you... just why?"
"I'll give you more details tonight. Anthony knows about it. Just. Think about it."
"Ok.. bye Ron."
"Bye Jazzy Schmazzy."
Click.

Throughout the rest of the movie I couldn't focus or hide the blush from my cheeks. Date Anthony? Even if it was fake, that sounded kind of weird. Pippa knew something was up, she paused the movie right before the most stressful part.

"What's up?" Pippa asked, Vanessa looked over from her spot on the couch, next to Renee's vacant seat. She had to leave early for extra practice.

"Ron called." I said, adjusting myself on the loveseat as my legs dangled off, "which you know, but uh. He asked me to do a weird favor." I froze, "he didn't tell me what though."

"That's weird?" Pippa said, Vanessa looked confused.

"Well yeah. He doesn't often do--" I began as I started to sit up, and before I could finished Vanessa butted in.

"Maybe it's a surpise?"

"No clue." I leaned back into the chair in my new position. Pippa shrugged and continued to play the movie. I sighed and looked at my now on phone, and I smiled at the lockscreen.

I remembered Renee taking the picture after a show last fall. Damn I looked so much different. I shut off my phone and continued to watch the cheesy rom-com. With Vanessa complaining about how that's not how the legal system works or something.

As the movie began to pull to a close, tears danced in the edge of my vision, Pippa was crying, and Vanessa was still upset that the movie version of some legal issues. I felt my phone vibrate on my ass. '

' Right now? Really?" I thought to myself and rolled my eyes, reminding myself to look at it again once the movie was over. Even though the movie was cheap and old, it was actually pretty good.

I sighed as the movie ended and Vanessa switched on the lights and began to clean. Pippa went to the bathroom to fix her minimalistic makeup and I grabbed my phone and decided to text back whoever had texted me.

I sighed as I leaned back and looked out the window. Summer was slowly coming to an end. September was pulling around the corner so less teens would come to stage doors now, shows would be pushed back a few hours and The HamilSchool Tour would start.

The HamilSchool Tour was simple, they preformed a simplistic version of the show at schools that were able to raise $3,500 dollars over the summer. So far Lin said he had almost 35 schools in a line up for the performances.

From coast to coast, Jasmine was ready to preform as Peggy Schuyler and Maria Reynolds. But something would happen along the way. Whether it was good or bad is up to her. I'm just the narrator. But I was there the whole time.
