Ok, I know I said I'd update the next day (after I uploaded the summary) but school got in the way and with this being my last year of skwl (year 11 or for the none UK people - 12th Grade, I think it's that one...) I have to concentrate on my exams which are coming up in May and June. I even have a Maths exam on the 1st March! I have to concentrate on getting my coursework finished and everything! It's a stressful year! But anyway, I started this chapter late at night yesterday, like 8pm, but I was unable to finish because I was REALY tired, so I hope I get to finish it tonight, if not tomorrow sometime after school.
CASSIE'S POV
Hi, My name is Daisy Cassandra Lennox, although I prefer to be called Cassandra Lennox or just Cassie. Don't ask. I am a senior at Coral Gables Senior High School (A/N:This is an actual school, I had to search for Miami high schools). I don't want to sound like a knowitall or anything, but I have a bachelors degree for Forensic Science. I am 16 and I am able to get a job, which I did...It was better than high school, I made friends easily, I never got picked on because of how smart I was and anything like that. Although I did get a few looks that looked like 'She must of been one hell of a geek', tipical. High school was kinda weird for me...but it was ok...I had friends there...But anyway, I'm not here to chit chat about what high school was like, I'm here to tell you about the first 2 weeks of my career as a CSI. The first week was a good week and went by fast, but the second week was different. It changed my life and peoples view on me. So this is my story.
AUTHORS POV
ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF.
At the sound of the alarm Cassie opened her eyes a little just to see what time it was, the clock read 8:27am. She hit the button and let her arm drop down the side of the bed. After a few seconds of lying there Cassie finally realised what day it was. Her crystal blue eyes shot open.
"Oh Shit!" (A/N: Only swear word on this story). She pushed herself up off her bed and looked in the mirror that was hanging on her wall. Her long blonde hair was a mess! She quickly went over to her wardrobe and picked out an outfit. Some dark blue skinny jeans, a white shirt with writing on it that said 'Show me what you got' with some picture behind it. also a belt that went over her top on a slant and some black boots that went just past her ankles.
She then got her brush and hair straighteners and started fixing her hair. After 15 minutes her hair was fixed, make up was done, watch on wrist and she was out of her room in a second. She looked at her watch and saw that it was 8:42am, she still had time. She ran down the stairs like a cheetah, almost tripping.
WHILE ALL THAT WAS HAPPENING
Cassie's mom, Esme, was in the kitchen making breakfast for her 8 year old sister Bailee and her 17 year old sister Reagan. She also had ANOTHER sister called Sadie (25), although she doesn't live with them, she lives with her husband, Bryan and there two kids Seth (6) and Elsie (4). Their mom had Sadie at 17, Reagan at 25, Cassie at 26 and Bailee at 34. after Bailee was born Esme finally said to their dad 'NO MORE KIDS!'. Their father doesn't live with them anymore, he ran out on them when Cassie was 8, obviously 4 kids was ALOT to deal with, hell even 1 kid can be hard, for a man like him anyway...he left Esme to fend for herself with her 3 kids and a new born. No one really liked to talk about him or the situation.
Esme was making the girls pancakes. She was in the middle of explaining to the girls that today is very important to their sister.
"Now I want you to support her because I'm sure she's nervous" she told them as she put the finished pancakes on their plates and put the pan in the sink to be washed. Reagan spoke first.
"I still can't believe she's got a job. I mean, she's 16 and has a job that's for someone who is like...24 or something" she said as she shoved some food in her mouth. Bailee replied to her older sister.
"That's because DC is smart, smarter than you" She said, she stuck her tongue out at her, Reagan just rolled her eyes and got back to her pancakes. In the sentence Bailee used her nickname for Cassie, DC, which are the initials for her first and middle name, Daisy Cassandra. Cassie didn't mind, at first she didn't like it but it grew on her.
Their mother smiled at them. They all turned when they heard someone coming down the stares louder than an Elephant but faster than a Cheetah. They saw Cassie stop at the bottom and try to catch her breath. After a few seconds she finally spoke.
"Mom, I'm gonna be late, you have to drop me off at work!" She yelled.
"Calm down Cassie, you won't be late" she reassured while grabbing her keys off the counter.
"Come on mom walk faster! It's already..." She looks at her watch "8:47am, I start at 9:00am!" she yelled.
"Ok ok, I'm coming, Reagan-" Reagan and Bailee looked at her as she was headed out the door.
"Make sure you and Bailee catch the school bus, and no flunking Rae, I mean it" Then she disappeared.
Reagan and Bailee turned back around. Bailee looked at her and spoke.
"You know if you keep flunking class then you'll fail and never get a job like DC" she said. Reagan pursed her lips together in irritation and squinted her eyes then sighed.
It only took Esme 5 minutes to get there, with her driving she could get to a long distance place in 30 minutes. She parked in the parking lot. Cassie looked at her watch, it read 8:52am, she was on time...well she had to get in the building first. She got out the car, turned around and bend down to look at her mom through the open window.
"Thanks for the ride, I'll see you later" she said and then started walking off.
"Bye honey, make good choices!" her mother shouted after her. Cassie rolled her eyes and ignored her. she continued to walk up the steps and was about to walk through the doors of the Miami Dade Crime Lab. She couldn't believe it...She, a 16 year old, had a job...as a CSI! It was a dream come true for her. She had always wanted to become a CSI, people said that she would have to work hard because it takes alot of skill and brains to be one. She followed their advice, obviously.
She finally stepped forward and stepped into Miami's crime lab.
YAY! So I was able to finish it! It's a little short and has none of our fave Miami characters in it but the next chapt will, I promise! R&R!
