roles.’ He shifted to mop the floor on her other side. ‘So, what time
does the event start tonight?’
    ‘Seven-thirty,’ Olivia said. It was a good reminder: she started packing her bag as she spoke. ‘Just remember, you can expect some chaos as we try to get into the
museum.’
    ‘That’s fine.’ Jackson shrugged. ‘It can’t be any tougher than that crowd at the premiere for
The Groves
. . . remember?’
    ‘How could I forget?’ She remembered feeling like she might pass out from the crowds pressing in on them that evening. Their excitement had been overwhelming.
    ‘Just wait,’ Jackson said. ‘I bet the one we have for “ES” is going to be an even bigger deal.’
    ‘Oh.’ Olivia gulped.
I hadn’t even thought of that.
    Jackson was talking about
Eternal Sunset
, the film they were currently shooting. At its premiere, Olivia would be walking the red carpet as the
lead
actress of a major movie
for the very first time – and it would be the last time for at least five years, since she’d made the choice to put her acting career on hold until she had finished high school.
    Would her big moment at the premiere feel exciting? Or just bittersweet?
    Uh-oh.
She suddenly realised that Jackson had been talking through her moment of distraction. ‘Huh?’
    ‘Olivia Abbott, are you
bored
of me already?’ He raised his cap to give her a look of mock-offence.
    She lightly swatted his arm. ‘You know that’s not it!’
    Then she blushed, as she looked up and caught at least three other students staring at her from around the corridor.
I guess they weren’t expecting to see me hit an elderly janitor.
Oops!
    ‘I was just saying, it won’t be long before we’ve wrapped on “ES”,’ said Jackson. ‘Final scenes shoot in November.’
    ‘Right.’ Olivia sighed. Life would become so much easier once she didn’t have to balance schoolwork and filming any more . . . but she couldn’t be
completely
happy about that, because it would mean she’d get much less time with Jackson.
    ‘Anyway . . . I’ll see you tonight.’ He glanced left and right under the brim of his cap and nodded decisively. ‘I’d better get back to work. I see a corner over
there that’s
filthy.
’
    ‘What are you
doing
?’ Olivia stared at him as he started forward. ‘You’re not actually
paid
to clean the school, remember?’
    Jackson shrugged. ‘I can never leave a job unfinished. Anyway, you probably ought to rescue Ivy.’
    ‘Rescue –? What are you talking about?’
    ‘Oh, I couldn’t possibly ruin the surprise.’ Jackson gave her a wry, amused grin. ‘You have to take a walk across the quad and see this one for yourself. Besides, you
wouldn’t believe me if I did tell you!’
    It was such a familiar grin – and she’d missed him so much – that Olivia couldn’t help herself. She started forwards, her arms rising instinctively . . .
    Then she pulled herself back, just in time.
No way.
It was weird enough for her to be seen hitting the janitor. If anyone saw her
hug
him, too, then they would
really
have questions!
    So she only whispered, ‘Later,’ smiled, and turned away.
    Time to rescue Ivy
–
whatever that means!
    She hurried down the hall towards the quad, ignoring the students shooting her curious glances. As she stepped outside into the cloudy autumn afternoon, though, she was startled to see the
actual
janitor, Jonny, leaning against an outer wall and taking deep breaths.
    ‘Um . . .’ Hesitantly, she started towards him. She’d never spoken to him before, but she couldn’t just ignore his distress. ‘Excuse me, but are you OK? You
don’t look very well.’
    Hastily straightening, Jonny smoothed down his grey hair with shaking fingers. ‘I feel like I’m going crazy,’ he mumbled. ‘I’ve been walking the halls of this
school for the last twenty minutes, getting ready to begin my end-of-the-day work, but . . .’ He shook his head in disbelief. ‘They’re already
