Chapter 11
Austin's POV (November 10)
It's been 10 days since the dance, and I think I'm dating Cassi. That night was so awesome I haven't even tried to believe it was real. After I kissed her, we finished out the dance and left, with Haley next to us. She had seen the kiss, but never said anything. As soon as Cassidy and Haley went up to their dorm, I heard Haley bombing her with questions. Figures.
"Hey, Austin, I need to talk to you!" Cassi yelled as I made my way up the marble staircase with Shane after breakfast. He still doesn't know what happened after Cassi ran out on him.
"Sure, be right back." I said to Shane, turning and following Cassi into an empty classroom.
"What's up?" I asked, even though I was pretty sure 'what was up.'
"What's going on with us?" She asked. I knew it.
"I don't know." I said, squirming uncomfortably.
"Are we dating, or was last night just a fluke?"
"Do you want to date?" I asked.
"I don't know. After what happened with Shane?" (A/N: You know how in cp.5 I made Ron & Parvati dating? Well, I was just flipping through the 3rd book, and in cp.6, page 103-104 from the last paragraph of 103 to the end of 104's first sentence; it says: "By the way, my dear," she shot suddenly at Parvati Patil, "beware a red haired man." Parvati gave a startled look at Ron, who was sitting right behind her, and edged her chair away from him. Weird, huh? Guess Professor Trelawney isn't such a bad phony after all. LoL.)
"You're right. So, what do you want to do?" I asked.
"I don't think I'm really ready to date yet." Said Cassi, tugging at the sleeves of herlight green turtleneck. I nodded, understanding completely.
"So, that's it?" She asked, putting all her weight on one foot, then the other. I noticed she was wearing new converse sneakers; light pink and light green.
"Um…better get to class." She said; flashed her cute smile that I had always fallen for, and scooted. Wait, did I just say Cassidy had a CUTE smile? God. I guess I'm starting to like the idea of having Cassi as more than a friend…uh, oh.
I know, shorter than usual. Anyway, PLEASE review for my hard work and my trying to make sense of the symbols crawling across the page as I write while I'm half asleep. (By the way, for those of you who didn't get that, the reason the chapter is shorter than usual is because I'm about to slip into a coma I'm so tired!) REVIEW IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU!
