Chapter 28: Cass's Screw Up
NERV – Asuka / Shinji's Room
"Shinji, have you seen Cass?" we were just watching some TV after school and Cass still hasn't come home yet.
"No, he's probably just out with Sam somewhere, why?"
"He's not out with Sam, that's what is concerning me. She's in her room," where exactly WAS he then?
"Just wait, he'll come back eventually," For some reason, Asuka actually looked concerned.

Same Place – 3 Hours Later
"Okay, now I'm getting worried," this wasn't like him; he would normally call me when he was up to something. Then Sam came barging in with a panicked look on her face.
"Shinji, can you help me look for him? I'm really want to know what happened," she stood there with her puppy-dog eyes bagging for my help.
"Sure, I'd love to. Any idea where he might be?" she nodded her head and started to walk away, she motioned me come with her, so I followed.
"Hey! You don't want my help? What, am I not good enough to look for the loser!" Asuka was starting to follow us, when I turned around and nodded. She understood the meaning, and sat back down to watch TV. Sam and I got out of NERV and headed for school, thinking he might be there. The walk was very silent, not a word was said, until we got to the back of the school that is…
"Cass! Why the hell haven't yo… what the hell is this!" Cass was kissing some other girl from history I met. She was known for being 'open' to anything.
"Sam! I… wait!" she started to walk off and he chased after her, leaving the other girl behind. I followed them, just to make sure that Sam didn't kill him! He kept his distance from her until he summed up the courage to go up to her. "Sam, look, I…" she turned around and slapped him HARD. I could hear the contact of skin from all the way back here – about twenty yards.
"Who that hell was that! You were the one that asked ME out, and you pull this? You're seriously messed up, you know that!" I've never seen her so angry before, she was actually turning red.
"Sam, I'm sorry. I don't know what I was doing, she just came up to me, and we started to talk, and… well… I'm so sorry," was he really using that as an excuse? Even though his normally straight face was dropping, I doubt that Sam would take that as an answer.
"You're kidding me! So talking led to making out! Come on! You're such an idiot!" she started to walk off towards NERV and once again he followed her, and I followed him. Eventually, I made my way up to him.
"Dude, what the hell were you doing? She was crazy for you and you betray her like this?" I started with the basic inquiry; you're an idiot.
"I don't know, okay? I don't know what I was doing!" his face was back to being hard as rock.
"Well, you'd better fix it," I can see Asuka's face now, "Look, unless you want an organ re-arrangement, you better find a way to make this better."
"How, Shinji? I want to, I really do, but I don't know how," well neither did I, he's in pretty deep!
"Look, tonight, sit her down and talk. Let her say anything she wants, just take it, and when you get the opportunity, try – yes, TRY – to explain what happened to her. With some luck, she might forgive you," I doubt it though.
"I'll try and pray it works. Thanks Shinji." We just walked back to NERV and let them be.

Shinji / Asuka's Room
"He did WHAT! I'm going to kick his ass!" I just got telling Asuka what he did, a mistake I might add.
"Whoa, Asuka let them be. He is trying to explain himself right now," sure didn't sound like it. It sounded like she was just yelling at him, but I couldn't make out words.
"Fine! But the second he gets out of the room, he's mine!" he was so screwed! Both of the most short-tempered women in the country were after him!
"Okay," I just set him up for yet another beating… oops. I hear the door open and see Cass walk in.
"You little bastard!" Asuka gets up and runs towards him, but I grab her wrist and hold her back. "Shinji, let me go!"
"Cass, I recommend you leave now!" he just stood there with his normal face on. "Okay, it's your funeral," I let go of her and she lunges at him in blind fury. He simply side-steps and she trips to the floor.
"I told you I took fighting classes. Anyway," while he talks he is effortlessly dodging punches, "she forgave me… but I have to wear this," he lifts up his pant leg to reveal an ankle bracelet. This made Asuka stop and stare at him.
"You… have to wear an ankle bracelet? I don't get it," it looked just like a normal, silver chain bracelet.
"You know how released convicts wear those clunky ankle bracelets? Same idea," I had to hold back from laughing.
"I don't even want to know how she has that, but it if it gets you two back together…" How exactly did she have that?
"Lucky bastard! She went easy on you compared what I would do!" I know that first hand! Asuka was right though.
"I'm just glad I was able to convince her forgive me. I would have understood if she did dump me," Sam was going to have him on a leash from now on, twenty-four-seven.
A/N- Cass is one lucky SOB! Well, what will Sam do now? Will she trust him – doubtful – or follow him everywhere? What will the next sin be? Find out in the next chapter; Hungry, until then, keep on keepin' on!
