Hey all! I would like to thank everyone that read the first chapter of Drawing a Disaster, and I would especially like to thank EllaJayTorsson and Jelly1029 for reviewing! Thanks so much everyone :D And remember, REVIEWERS GET COOKIES! WOOOOOOOOOOO! (Or pie, which is so much goddamn nicer!)
Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own the Children of the Red King. I only own Cassy and the plot to the story. I like pie. Sadly, I am also not the creator of pie. This depresses me muchos. The end. LOL!
Chapter 2: Of Much Craziness.
"For God's sake Cassy! Get your fat arse out of bed!" Tancred yelled while repeatedly hitting his cousin over the head with a pillow. "We're gonna be late!"
Mumbling about not having a fat arse and biting Tancred later, she reluctantly dragged herself out of bed and started getting ready. She took a shower, brushed her hair and teeth and chucked on any random clothes. When Tancred handed her a bright green cape, she looked disgusted.
"There is no way I'm wearing that!" she said, frowning.
"You have to Cass, it's the rules."
Grumbling, she pulled on the cape and went down to breakfast to eat some more dry cereal. Tancred stood, tapping his foot impatiently as she took her time to eat.
"Will you hurry up!" he yelled.
"Say please," Cassy teased.
Tancred muttered a forced 'please' under his breath and she immediately sped up her eating pace. Just then, Tancred's mother (and Cassy's favourite aunt) came into the kitchen. She gave them both a rib cracking hug and told them to take care.
"Now, don't let me get the school calling on the first day back because of you two practically blowing each other up, Okay? And Tancred, make sure you look after her, she's your cousin and she doesn't know where to go. And don't forget to-"
"MUM!" interjected Tancred, "She'll be fine! And I promise we'll be good."
Mrs. Torsson raised her eyebrows, as if to say, 'yeah right,' and hugged them both again. The two of them bade her goodbye for one last time before exiting the house and walking to the bus stop, where a bright green bus (the same colour as their capes) stood waiting for them. They climbed in and found Emma and Lysander at the back, chatting animatedly.
"Hey guys!" Tancred said, taking a seat next to Lysander while Cassy took a seat next to Emma.
"Hey Cass, Tanc'," Lysander said, smiling, "I still haven't forgotten your gay comment yesterday, Cassy, and I want you to know that Tanc' and I will be platting revenge."
He grinned and looked incredibly smug.
'He's quite cute when his ego's inflated,' she thought, 'ah well, time to deflate it!'
"Three words, Lysander something-or-other. Bring. It. On."
Emma let out a laughed and Tancred slapped his palm to his face.
"Do you know what happened the last time she said that to me!?" He asked Lysander.
"Ugh… no. Should I be worried?"
"Yes, yes you should… but f you apologise right now then maybe she won't be as harsh."
Lysander's eyes widened in fear and he immediately said sorry. Cassy smirked; it was her turn to look smug.
"So," said Emma, "What DID you do to Tancred?"
A sly smile was plastered across Cassy's face as she contemplated whether or not to tell Emma what happened. She could see her cousin blushing profusely, and she loved to bask in his embarrassment.
"Well," she said, "It all started when-"
The rest of the bus ride was spent with Cassy telling Lysander and Emma embarrassing stories about Tancred, Tancred blushing and constantly trying to hit Cassy, and Lysander and Emma laughing hysterically at the amount of Cassy's 'Tancred bashing,' as she called it. It was a very interesting ride indeed.
The green bus halted to a stop outside a massive , dull coloured building. Cassy seriously hoped this wasn't Bloor's. It was so… bland!
"This isn't-" she started.
"This is," Lysander finished.
After standing still for a few moments, she took a deep breath and promptly kicked Tancred in the shins.
"OW! What was that for!?" he yelled, hopping around in pain.
"You told me is was bright goddamn yellow! You lied!" she said while whacking him repeatedly.
"It was a Joke-Ahhhh!" he shrieked as his cousin chased him around in circles.
Emma and Lysander were practically rolling around on the floor laughing. Eventually, Cassy stopped chasing Tancred, but it was only after he threatened to hit her with a bolt of lightning.
"I swear to God, Tancred," she said as they exited assembly and started to walk to their first lesson, art, "One day I'm gonna draw something that will defeat your smelly weather mongering-ness and then I will sit and laugh in your face!"
At this, she let out a loud maniacal laugh, that echoed all through the halls. She received many stares, but did she care? No.
"You're actually crazy," Tancred said as they walked into the art classroom and took seats near the back. Cassy sat in between Lysander and Tancred and Emma sat on the other side of Tancred.
"I may be crazy, but I'm lovably crazy. Big difference," she said, looking quite smug.
"Lovably crazy my a-"
"I hope you weren't going to say what I thought you were going to say, Mr. Torsson! I have told you time and time again, that sort of language is not acceptable in this class! I just hope your cousin is slightly more tolerable than you," a stern voice said behind them.
The four of them turned around to see their art teacher, (or in Cassy's case, new art teacher) Mrs. Clayton. Her hair was tightly pulled back into a bun and wisps of grey escaped it. Her wrinkled face and grey eye's had no warmth in it whatsoever.
"Sorry Mrs. Clayton, don't know what came over me," Tancred said, looking slightly intimidated and scared by the old woman.
Suddenly, Mrs. Clayton burst into a seemingly random fit of laughter. "Goodness," she said, "I pull
that trick on my class every term and it always works!"
A relieved look spread across Tancred's face as Mrs. Clayton bustled up to the front of the classroom.
"What trick?" Cassy asked Lysander.
He laughed. "Oh, at the beginning of every term, she likes to pretend she's going to be all serious and horrible like the rest of the teachers here… well, most of them. Anyway, she's not really like that, she's actually one of the nicest."
Cassy Chuckled.
"Right class," Mrs. Clayton began, " For the next few weeks, our art topic is people. You and the person next to you will be drawing each other, making sculptures of each other, photographing each other and much more. Today, we'll be focusing on drawing faces-,"
The majority of the class groaned, but Cassy was excited.
"Oh, I love drawing people! Hehe, imagine if I drew Lysander and I accidentally used my endowment!" She giggled silently as Lysander tried to contemplate whether or not having two of him was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Oh God… imagine if Cassy drew herself! I can barely manage one idiot, let alone two!" Tancred said.
"Tancred, Tancred, Tancred. Do you really think, that if I were to duplicate myself, that I would only make one!? You are officially stupid. I would make millions of Cassy's of course! And then I'd have my own army of Cassy's so that everyone could bask in my awesomeness and-"
"Shut up!" Tancred yelled, "My ears are bleeding!"
They all laughed and suddenly realised everyone had already started drawing the face of their partner. Cassy picked up her sketch book and turned to face Lysander. She studied him for a moment before saying, "You know, you have unusually large eyelids," and then beginning to draw his face.
Well, I think it's safe to say that Cass is insane... but that's a good thing! XD Hehe, thanks again to my loverly reviewers whom all get cookies and pie! Yay! Hehe,
