Sorry I haven't updated. I was kind of… um… grounded from the computer. Chunked a pillow at my sister. Heh, heh.
Here's chapter three!
Enjoy!
Chapter three – Invitation
"How was you drive with Jacob yesterday?" Bella asked teasingly. "Have fun?"
Cassie glared at her, "Yes, I did, thank you very much. I think I've made my first friend."
"Hey!"
Cassie grinned.
"So—"
Cassie was cut off as her phone rang. She looked at the caller I.D. She didn't recognize the number. After a moment, she pushed the answer button, "Hello?"
"Cassie! Hey," Jacob said.
"Jacob? Who gave you my—" she looked at Bella's grinning face. "Oh."
"Yeah," he chuckled. "Do you mind if I come over? My dad's on my case for who knows what and all of my friends are in Port Angeles."
"Uh… yeah, come on over. I'm sure Remus won't mind."
Cassie could almost hear his grin, "Great! I'll be over soon."
"Bye," she hung up and looked at Bella. "I don't even remember giving you my number."
Bella shrugged, "Remus gave it to me."
Cassie rolled her eyes and muttered, "I'm going to have to have a talk with him."
Bella laughed, "Ah, don't blame him. I practically forced it outta him."
"Okay. So why did you give Jacob my number?"
"Will you quit complaining?" she whined. "I did it out of kindness! It's so obvious that you two like each other! You couldn't stop blushing yesterday! And I thought that I blush!"
Much to Cassie's embarrassment, a blush rose to her cheeks as she cried indignantly, "I do not like Jacob!"
Bella grinned at her, "Think want you want. I know it's true."
Cassie rolled her eyes and forced down the blush.
"You know," Bella laughed. "When I told everyone that you were going to be home schooled, they went berserk! They love to have anything to gossip about and a new girl at school would be great for them. My friend Jessica and her bitch of a friend Lauren about had heart attacks."
Cassie blanched at her.
"What?" Bella looked confused.
"You just don't strike me as the type to call anyone a bitch," Cassie chuckled.
"Oh, please," Bella rolled her eyes. "You haven't met Lauren. You'd call her a bitch too if you new her. She doesn't like me because I dated the guy that she liked."
"Edward," Cassie said.
Bella nodded, "The bastard that ripped out my heart and left with it in tow. That's him. Lauren can have him. I don't want him."
"Damn," Cassie said amusedly. "You must really not like these two people."
"Nope," Bella said, popping the p.
The doorbell rang.
"I gots it! I gots it!" Bella yelled like a two year old, jumping up and running out of Cassie bedroom door.
Cassie chuckled and leaned back against the headboard of her bed.
"Hi, Jacob!" she heard Bella yell.
"Hi, Hyper!" she heard Jacob yell back.
She involuntarily smiled when she heard Jacob's voice.
"Cassie's in her room!" Bella said. "Come on!"
Cassie heard the pounding of feet coming up the stairs and a second later, Bella burst through the door with Jacob on her heels. "Hi, Cassie," Jacob said, grinning. "What did you give her?"
"I didn't give her anything," Cassie said amusedly as Bella jumped back on the bed. "She's been hyper since she got here this morning."
Bella giggled and said, "It's just a good day to be alive. I have a right to be happy, don't I?"
"Yes," Cassie said. "But when you're that happy for no reason, people start to get worried. I don't want people to think that I've been giving you anything."
Bella rolled her eyes while Jacob laughed.
"Hey, who's that?" Jacob was pointing to a picture on Cassie's nightstand. It was a picture of her, Sirius, and Remus. They were in front of Hogwarts, all with gleeful faces. Sirius had just been proven innocent and was no longer a fugitive. He was to sign Cassie's adoption papers the next day.
Cassie looked away from the picture quickly, "That's… that's my other godfather. He, um, he's in a coma."
Jacob's grin slid from his face, as did Bella's smile.
"Oh," Jacob said softly. "I'm sorry."
Cassie shrugged and looked back at them, "They say he should wake up at any time. But… it's been three months…"
"Why did you move here if your godfather's in a coma?" Bella asked softly.
Cassie shrugged, "I didn't want to leave him, but Remus was convinced that it would do me good to get away. As soon as he wakes up, we're going to go get him and bring him here. At least, that's what Remus says…"
Bella grabbed Cassie's hand comfortingly. Jacob sat down on the bed beside her, giving her a small smile.
"Cassie!" Remus knocked on the door. "Mind if I come in? I've got tea."
"Yeah, come on in," Cassie called back, giving Bella and Jacob a warning look to tell them to act normal.
Remus pushed open the door, a tray with two cups of tea on it. "Oh, hey Jacob, Bella," he greeted. "I didn't know you were here, Jacob?"
"Sorry, sir," Jacob apologized. "I kind of needed to get away from my dad for a little while, so I called Cassie and asked if I could come over."
Remus nodded and set down the tray of tea, "Sorry. I only brought two cups."
"You can have mind, Jacob," Cassie said.
Jacob nodded in thanks.
Remus took in Cassie's appearance and immediately became worried. 'You okay?' he mouthed when Bella and Jacob were picking up their tea. Cassie nodded and gave him a small smile.
Remus took a deep breath, "Well, if you three need me, I'm in my study."
"Thanks, Remus," they all chorused.
Remus left.
"So, Cassie, Bella," Jacob said. "There's a bonfire down at the beach tomorrow night that me and my friends are hosting. Wanna come?"
Bella and Cassie looked at each other and shrugged.
"Yeah, I'll come," Bella said.
Jacob grinned.
"I'll have to talk to Remus about it, but yeah, sound cool," Cassie said.
If possible, Jacob's smile became wider. "Great!" he exclaimed. "It'll be so fun!"
And there's chapter three! I hope you all enjoyed.
I know that its rather boring, but I didn't know what to do with this one. Sorry.
