Chapter 13

Nevertheless, she manages to try to pull herself together to pull the covers back over him only to end up sneezing in his face, waking him up. Howard screams in shock and covers himself up when he sees Tiffany, and demands to know what she was doing. She tries to explain that she was only trying to help him cover up but he thinks she was drooling over his face. She tells him that she doesn't like people who wear childish underwear and Howard backs down asking her not to tell anyone.
Tiffany explains her true purpose for coming, which probably isn't her true purpose at all, which is dropping off the gifts from his fans and announces she's leaving. He stops her asking if she got caught in the rain, noticing her wet clothes, and suggests she changes before she catches a cold. Having nothing else to change into, Howard gives her one of his shirts and he stares at her in amazement when she comes out of the bathroom. When asked why he's staring, he tells her that the clothes will warm her up and unsuccessfully attempts to divert his gaze somewhere else.
Their romantic moment is cut short by the knocking of Bernice at Howard's bedroom door. So they closed the door in the meanwhile. The two begin to freak out, not knowing what to do and knowing that it'll be bad if they're caught, Tiffany is in his clothes after all. When she tries to hide, behind the curtain, and in the bathroom Howard rejects it all.
In the end, when Bernice comes in, Howard is in bed with the covers over him and Tiffany. Bernice tells him that she was worried about him and when she goes to take his temperature, he leans over really far on the bed for her to feel his face. She notices that he feels better but he has a strange complexion. But that doesn't matter as she summons her own team that she's assembled to take care of him. Tiffany was hiding underneath the blanket right next to Howard .
Bernice begins to give them directions on how to take care of Howard, with one being in charge of 24 hour surveillance but when she has one try to change Howard's blanket, he objects and plays a tug of war with her. He tells Bernice that the doctor said to have thick blankets to sweat out the cold and she orders for another one to be put on top. That practically suffocates Tiffany who hits Howard's leg. He tells her to take it off and she quickly does.
Knowing that she'll never leave, he tries to tell her that he needs enough rest so she should leave. She reveals that she actually took a leave off of school for the day and sits down on the bed, only to have Tiffany yell out in pain. Howard tries to pass it off as his own yelling as he attempts to talk her out of staying once again. The second time works and she tells her team to leave. with Howard ushering her out.
When she's gone, he knocks on the sheets to get Tiffany to come out, but Bernice makes another unexpected appearance and Tiffany quickly covers herself up, but this time her feet are sticking out and Bernice notices the nail polish. Howard plays it up, even getting Tiffany to pose her feet, asking Bernice if he looks good, to which she agrees. Tiffany is able to finally come out as she asks why Howard had to think of that idea but he says that he had no other plan.
Her phone begins to ring and Howard has an annoyed face when it's revealed that the caller is Jeff. It's not good news as she's being called back to school for more rehearsals. Tiffany wishes for him to get better telling him that she'll be waiting on stage for him to play Belle and their bickering friendship has returned. But he seem disappointed that she had to leave
The gossipy students are gossiping about Professor winfield in the theater and she yells at them. Howard and Jeff, are practicing their lines on stage, Jeff standing in for Howard. Behind them Bernice and her minions are singing about the greatness of Gaston. Tiffany asks that they go practice somewhere else and Bernice aims the sword at her while her minions still sing their song. Jeff is the one who stops them and sends them off to rest.
Jeff moves onto the next scene with Tiffany, the piano scene, and says they'll dub the music. She confidently goes over the piano and begins to play the same German song that she, played at Howard's music video set. Bernice isn't impressed but it seems like her silhouette is ringing a bell for Professor winfield, he isn't the only one who is reminded of someone as Jeff is brought back to the set of Howard's music video. He suddenly remembers the first day he met Tiffany, knocking into her and seeing the girl at the hotel and it suddenly makes sense. He puts it together that Tiffany is Jessica and wonders why she's disguising herself, wondering what it is she wants to hide.
Jeff is deep in thought that night when Howard comes to see him. He tells Jeff that he's the only friend he has left and wonders why they're meeting at such a late hour when Jeff typically goes to bed early. He notices that Jeff has a lot on his mind and tell him to spill it since he'll help him straighten out his thoughts. Howard brings up Tiffany, saying that he knows Jeff has a crush on her. Jeff looks a little dejected at the mention of her name but he throws back that Howard has a crush on Tiffany. Howard's a little shocked but goes back to rejecting it, asking who'd be unlucky enough to like her.
But Jeff brings up the fact that they never fought before and wonders what would happen if they would end up fighting one day, what the reason would be. Howard swears he'd never hurt his friend and can't help but notice Jeff's strange behavior.
Howard got a phone call at that moment from Daniel who informs him that the company computers were hacked and the MV for Breathe was released. Daniel explains the rest of the situation to Howard who hopes that nothing else will happen. When Jeff asks him what happened, Howard brushes it off as things with the company.
It's a new day and Howard is in the gym playing basketball when Tiffany comes to visit him as she notices his better appearance. She suggests they have a rehearsal only to be interrupted by the arrival of someone who yells at him off screen. It's no secret that it's kengsington.
Jeff heard kengsington yelling at him telling him that He discovered that Tiffany is Jessica. I'm honestly not all that surprised that he was the one to discover it based on the piano playing. Howard wasn't there to hear it and Bernice doesn't really seem like she's all that smart to put it together like Jeff.
Based on the way that he was asking Howard about them ever fighting, it didn't really seem like he was going to tell Howard about Tiffany's hidden identity. Maybe he's waiting to figure it out or privately reveal it to her to find out about her intentions. He seems like an analytical guy who would try to figure out what was going on first before revealing the truth, kind of like needing the whole story to put it together.
But if he tells Howard. Surely Howard would be angry at the fact that something like that was hidden from him. He already made a previous comment about how he hates lying and well, Tiffany is basically lying about her entire life. Also, the progress that their friendship and relationship has taken thus far would entirely be in vain as he'd probably never want to talk to her ever again.
If Jeff were to tell Tiffany that he knows, though, she should take the opportunity to tell those people that she's the closest to. she doesn't want her grandfather's men coming after her, but if just a select number of people know, then it might not be that bad and her changes of being found out are smaller.
Tiffany was essentially being jealous, she didn't like Bernice with Howard but it was in the gray area of whether it was because she couldn't stand Bernice she's jealous it's because of her interactions with Howard, that she can't stand Bernice but she can't stand her even more because she tries to always get close to Howard.
Jealous Howard Norman. Can't he just admit to Jeff that he likes her? It's clear that he knows, which is why he's hesitant about the whole Tiffany is Jessica thing. Literally he want to admit that he has fall for her.
