I Know How You Feel


Chapter 49: Peekaboo!

Taylor ended the note, his voice threaded with disgust.

"Man..." Zac whispered.

Kris sat with her arms around her, shivering despite the heat of the studio.

"Well, it can't be much. Just a prankster-" Ike started, trying to be optimistic.

"That's not it, Isaac." Kris whispered, shuddering. "He knows who I am. He sees me everyday. how else would he know what I wore Tuesday?" she stared into space. "Hell, I can't remember what I wore yesterday, much less Tuesday."

"Could be someone playing a joke on you from your support team." Zac suggested.

"No, they're all shit scared of me..." Kris said softly. "I'm being watched." she said, looking around. "I'm being stalked."

"Nah." said Taylor, waving it away.

"Yeah." said Zac. "Coz I did it! Mwah ha ha!" he cackled, and was rewarded by a slap upside the head from Taylor, and a punch from Isaac.

"This isn't funny, Zac." they told him.

"Orright." he muttered, rubbing his arm and head.

"Hey, all!" Jamie cried, running in from her half hour visit to the 'toilet'.

"Damn, you can shit for hours, girl." Kris said blandly.

"Shut up." Jamie said, pulling a face at Kris. "So," she said, looking at the small pile of letters, "is that my mail?"

"Yeah." Zac told her.

"Cool!" she cried, and flopped to the floor to examine her mail.

"I thought you hated mail." Zac said drily.

"I hate sorting it." Jamie corrected him.

Jess walked in, and took one look at the largest pile. "Nuh uh!" she said, backing away. "I ain't gonna read all that!"

"At least your mail is reader friendly." Kris said bitterly, glaring at the letter in Taylor's hand.

"What?" asked Jess, confused.

"Read this." Tay told her, and handed her the letter.

Jess' face wrinkled as she read the note. "This... is... SICK!" she cried, flinging the letter from her grasp.

"Yeah." Kris said dejectedly.

"Of course, though, it's a joke." Jess told her.

Kris looked ready to cry. "It's NOT!"

"And how do you know?" asked Jess calmly.

"I think Kris is right." Jamie said slowly, just having finished the letter. "Even if this is a joke, this is serious."

"I still think it's a joke. Sick, but a joke." Jess said.

"We'll up security for ya, Kris." Jam told her.

Kris nodded with a jerk.

"I think we have to go, guys." Isaac told the girls, indicating the time.

"Okay." Kristen said blankly.

"You gonna cope?" Taylor whispered to her.

"Yeah."
