Okay this is my second try at a short story here and I'm thinking maybe one with Cassie's characters now. Let's hope it works this time …. Chapter One
Clarissa is a 19 year old girl with a younger sister by the name Suzanna. Suzanna is four years old. The girls mother and father died just after Suzanna was born. Clarissa had been taking care of her younger sister for nearly four years now, which meant that besides being in her last year of high school, she had two jobs to be able to afford the house and get her little sister through private school.
Like every morning, Clarissa woke up at five thirty to take a shower and make breakfast for her and Suzanna. At six she woke up her sister and they ate breakfast together. Afterwards Clarissa got her sister dressed and ready for school and then they left at six thirty to get Suzanna to preschool. Both sisters where in private school, hence the two jobs.
After she dropped the little one off, Clarissa drove to her own school to meet up with her friends before class. Her friends were: Alexander , Isabella (Izzy for short), Magnus (Alexander's boyfriend), Simon (Clarissa's best friend since she was a child) and Jonathan (Jace for short) her best friend from before her sister was born.))
When the gang was all there, they decided to have a drink before classes started. Izzy asked Clarissa again if she could do her make-up and shop for clothes with her, but as always the other girl refused. Izzy pouted, which made the others laugh. "Better luck next time Izzy", said Jace while grinning. "I will get her to agree someday", swore Izzy like always. Magnus informed about how Suzanna was doing, which made Clarissa smile and she told him about her sisters first crush.
Then it was time to get to class. Lucky for her their first class was an art class, so she took out her sketchbook and went to the nearest easel. There she began to paint her latest drawing in bright colours. The teacher walked by and seemed very pleased with her progress. Clarissa loved to draw and had since before she could talk. She was very good at it too and wanted to go to art school, but she didn't see how it would be possible cause she had to take care of Suzanna and she probably couldn't even afford it.
Art class want by too fast and when the bell rung, Clarissa was pulled out of her zone.
The rest of the day went by way too slow; with Math, Science, French, German, Biology and Social Studies. When at four o'clock the school day was finally over, it was time to pick her sister up from school and take her to work at Magnus's dads tearoom. She was a waiter there and Magnus would watch her sister while she worked.
Suzanna was chatting happily about her crush and her classes while Clarissa drove them to her work.
At work she got changed into her uniform quickly and brought Suzanna to Magnus who smiled at her and said: "What do you want to do today, little biscuit?" "I wanna have a tea party!" The little girl replied and Magnus grinned and said that that that wouldn't be a problem, since they were in a tearoom after all. He took her away, so Clarissa could start her shift. "Bye Rissa", said Suzanna and the older girl gave her a hug goodbye and smiled gratefully at Magnus who returned the smile.
When Clarissa had just finished her first hour the rest of her friends came by for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. Since she was now on her break, she decided to join them. The gang watched Suzanna play with Magnus and they saw how her face was covered in chocolate and Icing from all the cakes they'd had with their tea. Magnus and Suzanna had set up all her stuffed animals to sit at the table with them. Right now she was telling them and Magnus about her day and when Clarissa looked at her little sister, her heart filled with love.
