Chapter 1: Falling for him?

I finished drying my hair and decided to let it fall in natural brunette curls down my hair. I wasn't doing anything special today so I took out my denim skinny jeans and a purple ruffle top before putting on my make-up. Once again I was going for a casual look so I put on some black mascara and blusher with my faint pink lip gloss.

It was then that I heard the doorbell ring. Grandma was probably still in bed so I ran down the stairs to get the door. It was Diana and she had a massive smile on her face.

'You are never going to guess what we are doing tonight' she shrieked as she made her way towards my living room.

'What?' I asked as I sat down on the couch next to her.

'My dad had to leave town this morning for the weekend. He has a business trip so he definitely won't be coming back' she almost deafened me with her excitement.

'Um… and what has that got to do with tonight' I asked (always the dull one)

'Uh hello is anyone in there? We are having a party' Diana shrieked while jumping up and down on the couch.

'With who exactly?' I said while turning towards her. I was worried that maybe the whole school was going to turn up at number 1 Crowhaven road.

'Oh don't worry it's only going to be the twelve of us but you have to dress nice remember.' She said while getting up off the couch and making her way towards the front door.

'Yeah okay I'll remember' I sighed before stepping out onto the porch with her.

'Oh and if you don't mind can you let Nick know about tonight. I am already running late and I need to get to the store to get some stuff for the party. Oh by the way make sure you're at my house by 6 and bring you're overnight bag cause you're sleeping over'

'Uh yeah sure I'll tell him and yeah I can stay over' I replied before waving to Diana as she got into her car and stepping back inside.

I put on my purple flats and grabbed my car keys off the rack. I know that Nick lives in the same street as me as do all the other people who are coming to the party tonight but the street is huge and it's like a 20 minute walk to Nick's house. I hadn't seen Nick for a few weeks so I was really looking forward to seeing him again. Even though Nick could be really hostile at times I actually found this alluring and he was a good friend.

I got into my little blue yaris (it was a 16th birthday present off Grandma) and made my way to Nick's house. It only took 5 minutes to get there in the car and I pulled up in front of Nick's house in a short amount of time. As usual he was in the garage at the front of the house fixing something under his car. I could see his legs sticking out from underneath his car so I walked over and stood over him.

Nick noticed that I was there and pulled himself out so he could find out who it was. He looked surprised when he noticed that it was me and quickly stood up.

'Hey' he mumbled as he put down his tools and looked at me.

'Hi um… Diana is having a party tonight with the 12 of us and she wanted to know if you could come.' I nearly stuttered and started cursing myself for acting like an idiot.

'What time?' he asked still staring at me.

Nick looked really good today he was wearing a tight black t-shirt which showed off all his muscles and worn out denim jeans. His dark brown hair was messy as usual and his gorgeous brown eyes were framed with long black eye lashes.

Nick gave me a questioning look and I noticed that I was staring so I quickly started speaking so I couldn't make a bigger fool of myself.

'Diana said that we had to be there by 6' I quickly said as I looked down at my shoes.

'Yeah that's fine tell her I'll be there' Nick replied and I thought that I could see a look of amusement in his eyes.

'Okay bye' I stammered before turning around and attempting to walk out of the garage with my dignity. Unfortunately I didn't because I tripped over something on the floor and waited to feel the pain of hitting the hard floor with a thud. That didn't happen either. I felt strong arms catch me around the waist and pull me close.

'Are you okay?' Nick asked looked into my eyes. He looked so sincere that I almost felt something between us but I quickly composed myself.

'Uh yeah, thanks' I exclaimed as I felt myself blush. I noticed that Nick still hadn't let go of me and so did he because he quickly let me go and looked away.

'See you later Cassie' he mumbled. I looked down at the floor so that I couldn't fall over anything else and made my way over to my car.
