Cassie was beautiful in a pretty kind of way. She had freckles and short wavy hair with bangs. She never wore dresses because she preferred not to be the center of attention. Although her clothes were not the most expensive in the class or even the nicest, she always looked fabulous in whatever she wore. This immediately meant that every guy in the class was head over heels for her. The only turn off for the majority of them was that they were jocks and she was not a cheerleader. Also, her IQ was elevated (135) so whenever the guys tried to converse with her they all sounded like babbling idiots.
Zack was trying to bring up his courage to engage in a conversation with her. He began walking in her direction. She was not surrounded by anyone so now would be the best time to ask her about being his partner. He begins walking forward; he has his head held high. He takes one step then another, gradually getting quicker. He gets to her is about to say something when out of nowhere… Whack! Zachary's been hit by a moving object going very quickly.
One hour later Zach wakes up to find himself in what appears to be the infirmary of the school. He looks around and notices Cassie talking with her best friend Don. They are both standing right by his bed. He quickly snaps his eyes shut so that they won't notice him.
"Don, how could you! You know that I like him. You just had to go and give him your football slap. Just because some of your buddies are fine with being slapped on the back it does not mean everyone has the same endurance for such strength."
Don begins to say "But Cassie I was just accepting him into the group, you know…"
Cassie cuts him off with "Don't you dare say that! That's just your excuse. Look at the poor little fellow with a bruise all over his face."
"Who knows, maybe once it has recovered it will finally look worthy of a man." Says Don under his breath.
"I heard that. Come on, be nice. I think he is waking up so I want you to say sorry." Cassie says in a very menacing tone. "Also, if you don't I will tell that dumb girlfriend of yours that you have been kicked off the football team. And you know that she will dump you immediately if that happens."
Zach opens his eyes and stared expectantly into the eyes of Don.
