Backstage Season 3 *DISCONTINUED*

Deal

Mitchell's POV
I need the money. Even though I hate the reality show I have to do this, for Allison. I pick up the pen and right before I sign my name I look at Mr. Corver.

Mitchell: Your cameras pick up everything am I correct?

Mr. Corver: Why must you ask?

Mitchell: I'm sure that you saw the clips where I help Miles Lennox, who has dyslexia. You also know that he wants to keep it a secret. So I will offer you a bargain. If I join the reality show, you don't let Miles Lennox's secret come out. Easy deal.

Mr. Corver is taking some time to think about it and I'm hoping that he takes the bargain. I mean I need the money but I also have to protect Mile's secret.

Mr. Corver: Okay, you got yourself a deal kid.

Then I quickly but neatly sign my name and I put the pen down. I sigh and I lean back on the chair.

Mitchell: Was that all?

Mr. Corver: Actually since you're the only one who knows that we didn't choose everyone at random, we want to ask you a favor.

Mitchell: Don't worry I'm not a snitch.

Mr. Corver: It's not that. Well ratings have been a bit shaky but fans seem to love it when you and Bianca Blackwell are together.

Mitchell: What is your point in this?

Mr. Corver: My point is that I want you to try to, woo Bianca Blackwell. You know, get her under your spell.

Mitchell: So you want me to date Bianca Blackwell?

Mr. Corver: Exactly.

Mitchell: Oh, then no.

Mr. Corver: Why not? You have feelings for her don't you? I mean everyone knows it, except Bianca Blackwell of course.

Mitchell: I already have a girlfriend.

Mr. Corver: You do? Then why haven't we seen her with you?

Mitchell: She's studying abroad. She's a Sophomore. She'll be back in the summer.

Mr. Corver: Shall I get a name or will I have to gather more information on you?

Mitchell: Mindy Dobson.

Daniel's POV
I arrive at my house and I just stare at the briefcase. I sigh and I lay back in the chair. I run my hand through my hair in frustration. What am I supposed to do with this? Then I hear a knock on my window and that immediately snaps me out of my thoughts. I see Vanessa standing outside of my window and I quickly put on a fake smile. I get out of the car and at the last second, I reach in to take the briefcase with me. I feel the handle of the briefcase around my hand and I grasp it and I pull it out. Then I close the door and I lock my car.

Vanessa: What's that?

Daniel: Huh oh it's uh, just some stuff that my dad wanted me to pick up for him. You know like paperwork and stuff like that.

Vanessa: I though your dad was on tour?

Daniel: That is correct. I meant my uncle.

Vanessa: Your only uncle is on a research dig isn't he?

Dang it, why does she have to know so much about me?

Daniel: Also correct. I meant my cousin.

Vanessa: Your cousins are all either below 7 or they're out of the country. Come on just tell me what's in the briefcase.

Daniel: It's nothing. It's just a bunch of boring files that you wouldn't be interested in.

Then she gives me a look that says that she knows that I'm lying and I just sigh.
