Behind Everything...

Chapter 35

Veronica's POV: (Five hours later)

"Offf... Finally, it's done", I sighed in relief. It's almost twelve-fifteen at night and I was happy that my project was done. Actually my new and improved project. I smiled to myself.

Quickly I dialled Jasper's and after almost fifth ring, he picks up the call. "Vikky, are nuts? It's already middle of the night and you're calling me at this time", he said in a raspy sleepy tone. I tried hard not to smile. "Vikky, are you okay? Are you...", he got nervous when I didn't respond to any of his remarks.

"Get ready. We're going to school", I ordered him with a smirk on my face. "Vikky. I know you must have very excited about the carnival but trust me, nothing must have set up till now. We have to wait till morning", he said till in his sleepy voice. "That's why I wanted to go there", excitedly I said. "Why. Have you fixed your project or you simply chosen some another theme?", he question.

I couldn't help but smile before answering to him, "Yes. I've fixed my project and made it into a more improved project. Thanks to Tristan and Professor Greyson. If he didn't ruin my project and if Professor didn't reject my project, I won't get so motivated and would have fixed it into the same boring hoverboard', excitedly I said.

"Vikky. Are you still planning to stick to science and technology? It's too late now. Even if you give them your project now, they won't accept it", he said. "I know, that's why I want to do this now", I said confidently. "So what's your plan?", he asked and I smirked.

"HOLY COW! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!", Jasper almost yelled. "Shush!!! Will you stay quiet? You'll make us get caught", I whispered between teeth. "Well. What the heck you suppose I should do in this situation", Jasper whined. Okay, I don't totally blame Jasper for doing this, we are at school with I don't know how many CCTV cameras install in it.

Last year, one of the student's projects get stolen and put the blame on one of our schoolmates. Actually it was put on Noah and none of our school committee members nor teacher could have figured it out about who could have done that. As security purposes, they've installed cameras. And also have hired some tight security.

"You sure about this? Here probably at least thousand CCTV must have installed and I don't think it's a good idea", Jasper suggested. "Well, do you have any better idea?", I asked him. "If I knew that you're going to do something like this, in the first place I would never agree to come here", he said in a panic tone. I tried to give him a look but when I looked at him, I saw him already sweating and I tried hard not to laugh at him.

"What? This isn't funny!", he almost yelled when he noticed me trying hard not to laugh at him and quickly I had to shut his mouth. "Shh. You moron! I'll throw you away", I threatened between teeth. "Come on now", I said quickly.

"We've got tight security here sir. Don't you worry", I heard the guard saying on his phone. "Go check on the doors", the same guard said to another one as soon he ended the call. Quickly I moved to Jasper and said, "Jazz you need to distract the guard for me". "What? Are you nuts. I'm not doing it", he said quickly. Clearly, he was too afraid of that guard because of his very built physique. "Jazz you have to do it. NOW", I shove him away.

It's not even a good four seconds when I felt a cold hand against me.

Quickly I turned around. "Ah-", I tried to scream but the same cold hand covered my mouth. "Sh... It's me. It's me", Jasper almost gave me a heart attack. "What? You almost scared the hell out of me", I whispered yelled while hitting him hard. "I'm sorry but I can't do it", he said flatly. "You can't do what? Jazz, only thing you need to do is to distract that guy", I tried hard not to lose my mind. "Now. Go", I shoved him again and this time I made sure that he has really gone or else he might scare me again.

I saw him slowly going towards that guard but after a few good steps, he turned over again and tries to escape. "No Jazz. Don't come towards this side!", I whispered yell but he just didn't listen to me. I shut my eyes as the guard could now easily catch us. Suddenly I heard a loud thud. Jasper looked at me with a 'please help me' look and quickly I ran towards him and quickly get out from that guard's sight.

"What was that?", I whispered to Jasper. He quickly avoided eye contact. "Jasper. What did you do?", I was sure that this has to be linked with him so I asked him. "Jazz...", before I could say anything, I felt someone behind me.

"Peter?", I whispered. I didn't let him speak but I turned to Jasper for all the answers. "Vikky... Please don't get mad... I can explain...", he tried to explain but my stern look stopped him. "Explain", I ordered. "Veronica. Please let me explain", Peter pleaded but I ignored him. "When we left the school, Peter called me and he apologized for everything he did. He was embarrassed and for the cover-up, I asked him to come to the school. He did all this for you. I'm sorry Vikky. I should have informed you", Jasper explained. I felt bad for treating him like that but he deserves it.

"I know you're mad at me and I don't expect you to forgive me this soon but I think we should definitely do it fast", Peter warned. "To do what?", I asked him. "Come on, there must be some reason why you've come here. Now come on, once the guard realizes that everything is fine near the doors, he'll gonna check over here too", Peter said.

I hate to admit but whatever he has done was quite impressive. Quickly, I went to the room where all the projects were. I carefully put the project right after Tristan's. I smirk but soon my smirk fades away when I heard a rustling sound. I went over the window and froze at the sight of what I saw. My brain stopped working at that moment. I wasn't dreaming but this can't be true either. I saw a figure with glowing bright eyes. I started breathing unusually.

Suddenly I felt a hand over my shoulder, making me flinch. Quickly I turn around and almost cried.
