I'm starting this story over cause the first one was bullshit
"Felix, you know how much I love you, right?" I asked Felix, my back facing his chest while I leaned against the balcony and overlooked the town. I felt him wrap his firm arms around my slender waist as he placed his chin on the crook of my neck and looked at the view with me.
"Of course I do, Cassie. Forever and always." I started to slowly tense, but soon relaxed when he lightly kissed my cheek. It was only making it even harder to say goodbye.
"Really?" I whirled around and faced Felix on the verge of crying, but I refused to let the tears shed just yet. I gazed up at him and our eyes locked. I searched his dark greenish-brown ones for the truth.
"Yes, really. No matter how hard your father tries to keep us apart, I'll always love you, Cassandra..." That's all he had to say before I closed the small gap in between us to lean up and kiss him softly. It was so passionate that I didn't want to let go, but all good things must come to an end eventually.
When Felix and I finally pulled away, I hugged him tight, knowing that it was most likely going to be our last hug together.
"And scene! Bravo kids, excellent work!" Our drama/theater teacher, Ms. Reagan, shouted as she stood up from her seat with the rest of the students in the auditorium while wiping the imaginary tears from her eyes. She was clapping so hard that her palms were starting to become red.
"Jack, Kim! That was beautiful! But as much as I loved it, I think we should run through that scene one more time. It still feels as if you two still aren't really into it as much as the characters are..." She said, her voice trailing off as she turned her attention to something else. This caused a groan from me and Jack.
"This is bullshit. Can you please tell me why I'm doing this with him again?" I asked Ms. Reagan, pointing at Jack beside me. I emphasized his presence in disgust.
"I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I agree with little Crawfish over here." He said after me. I whipped my head over at him with narrowed eyes and watched an annoying little smirk grow on his face.
"Shut up. No one told you to agree with me. And for your information, it's Crawford, smartass." I replied to him in a low tone so Ms. Reagan couldn't hear me.
"Wow, you're a feisty little one aren't cha Kimmy?" Jack asked me jokingly, winking and pretended to bite me. As soon as I was about to reply, I was cut off.
"Enough talking! It's time to get back into character," Ms. Reagan said, clapping her hands excitedly. I let out a slight sigh as I slipped back into my character Cassandra while Jack immersed into his character Felix.
"I am literally this close to snapping that asshole's neck..." I said viciously, making a small space in between my fingers to show them how through I was.
"Let me guess - Jack problems again?" One of my best friends, Milton Krupnick, asked sympathetically. At the moment, a few of my closest friends, Jerry, Eddie, and Milton and me were sitting on the staircase in the main hall of Seaford High during our free period. I had been venting to them about the encounter between Jack and me that we had earlier... as usual. Suddenly Grace, another friend of mine, came walking down the staircase.
"Hey guys!" She paused, almost as if she knew that there was some bad tension in the air around us. "What's wrong with Kim?" Grace asked the guys.
"Jack problems." The three of them said in unison. Grace just rolled her eyes.
"Oh gosh. What did he do now?" She asked as she sat next to me with ears open.
"Okay, so you know how Jack and I have been casted as Felix and Cassandra in the new school play called Love Against the Odds?" I paused and she nodded. "Well, I don't think I can take being that close to him for so long anymore. I don't even want to breathe the same air as him! And if they make us kiss one more time, I'm pretty sure I might go crazy. I mean... Ugh, he's just such an inconsiderate jerk!" I shouted, accidentally breaking the mechanical pencil that once belonged to Eddie in half. I slowly gathered the two pieces of plastic and gave it back to him, muttering an apology in the process.
"Whoa Kimberly. Chill!" Jerry said as he stared at the broken pencil in fright.
"Tell me that again and the pencil won't be the only thing that gets snapped." I shot a sickly sweet smile in Jerry's direction which caused him to become stiff and uncomfortable.
"You know what, don't listen to Jerry. Now where is Jack so I can go 'talk' to him?" Grace asked, stepping over us and down the rest of the steps. I instantly grabbed her wrist to pull her back, because knowing Grace and Jack, there wouldn't be any talking. Just yelling.
"Grace Brewe-"
"Don't you dare..."
"Grace Anderson. I understand that Jack is your step-brother and all, but sit down before you do something stupid. Wait until you get home." I said, unfastening the grip I had on her wrist. She thought for awhile before sitting back down while muttering an okay underneath her breath.
You see, Jack and Grace were step-siblings. Her mom married his dad a few years ago, but Grace refused to let her mom make her change her last name to Brewer, which was Jack's last name. So she preferred to be called by her maiden name, Anderson.
"Fine, but when we get home, Jack and I are gonna have a nice little talk..." Grace said wickedly while staring off into space, but she was brought out of her gaze by hearing the bell ring.
"Whatever. Lets just to our next classes before we're late," I said as I picked my backpack up and headed down the hall with the four of them since we ironically had the same upcoming class together.
Oh, and guess who else was in that class? Jack.
hi. aria here.
i've decided to continue this story because i honestly am in love with the plot. like out of all of my stories, i believe that this one is personally my favorite next to just my luck. and i don't even know how i thought of this, i was 12 years old when i wrote all of this lol. i just really hope to at least get past 5 chapters and not disappoint you all again. and the sad thing is is that i had some additional chapters written out, but they all got erased. when i logged back in last summer and checked my documents, literally everything was gone on here because they reached it's expiration date. so i had to look on my backup files and etc, etc, etcetera. it was terrible.
but before i go, i just wanted to mention that i got the beginning idea from miss FemaleBossJordan, i just changed the character names and the dialogue from the play.
