Cassidy's POV
"Look, Cass," Jess screeches. I turn around just in time to see Emma run into Stewart's arms and kiss him. "That it," I replied. Jess stares at me in disbelief. "What! Just because I don't get excited about two people kissing makes me a horrible person," I yelled quietly. "No," Jess states calmly, "look at Emma. See how happy she is!" I look again. She is glowing. I have never seen her smile like that.
I bet you are wondering why the heck were spying on Emma. Well, we aren't, Stewart requested that we all get in on the surprise. By all of us I mean all of us, Jess, Megan, Becca, Darcy, Zach, Third, Ethan, and I. The plan is Stewart is going to ask Emma on a walk and we are all going to jump from are hiding places and say, "Happy Anniversary!" If you ask me it sounds kind of cheesy, but I guess that is how this romantic thing works.
Jess and I are hiding under some brush and a tree just over looking Authors Ridge and where Emma and Stewart are sitting. Megan and Becca are basically the most visible things ever. They think they are blending in, but pink camouflage and sitting on a bench is the more obvious then the hot air balloon that landed on our school, at least then we got three days off of school. The boys are hiding under the tombstones. I would have gone with them, but Jess was too scared to go and didn't want to be left alone. Darcy offered to stay, but I could see he really wanted to go with the guys so I stepped forward and volunteered.
"When are they coming," I plead, "I want cake!" Jess giggles and says, "They will be here soon Cass, and Stewart just sent a text to me and Darcy to get ready to jump out anytime now." I get reassured with this information and get ready.
20 minutes later….
"You said anytime now," I whisper yell to Jess.
"Shut up there coming," She replies silently.
"Don't play games with me I'm starving here!"
"Seriously, shut up!"
"Don't shut me up!"
"Cass-,"
"It's not like I want to be here," I interrupt.
"Cass!"
"I'm only doing this Emma,"
"Cassidy,"
"Trust me I have plenty of places to be and go, but if Emma is going to waste my time and not be grateful -,"
"Cassidy," Jess interrupted.
"What how hard is it just to walk up a hill and-,"
"Thanks, Cass," I get interrupted again, but Jess's lips aren't moving and that's not her voice. I slowly turn around to find, just as my suspicions were confirmed, it was Emma. "Surprise," I say hopefully not hearing anything I just said. Her eyes had tears in them and her face was red. "Emma-," I start, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean-,"
"Don't! Just don't," she cries.
Emma runs away, and I try to catch up to her, but Emma wasn't the only one that overheard my stupidity. Zach holds me back, and Stewart, Darcy, and Jess all run after Emma. All the rest of my friends look at me with disappointment. I feel alone, ashamed, guilty, rude, and stupid all at the same time. I really don't deserve anyone's friendship
Hey! I know this story started out as a happy story and I really wanted it to stay that way, but there has to be a plot to the story right? I know that Cass would never ever do this, but I just wanted to do something different and Drama is Required Reading. :D
