PART TWO! READ!
Cassadee
Over the following weeks Kai and I grew a little closer. I found out the girl with him really was his sister and her name was Heather. She seemed nice but she didn't like hanging around us much. I guess I liked Kai a lot, but I had to remember my dad.
Kai of course didn't let me do that. As soon as I started going quiet about something he said he immediately looked at me and said, "Dad. Out. Of. Head."
Finally I decided I should invite him over. Dad wasn't so happy about this.
"Cassadee. No. Boys." I sighed in exasperation. I was freaking 13! He could at least give me some freedom. "Come on dad he's just a friend. I really want him to come over. Please!" I made the Bambi eyes no one can resist. He gave in. "Fine, but I want to have a talk with this boy." Eh, best I was getting.
Got him to give in. I texted and within moments he replied.
Dang that was quick! What did you do?
Bambi eyes.
THE WORLDS MOST ULTIMATE WEAPON! CASSADEE JACKSON'S BAMBI EYES! Nice trick dude.
Get Heather to relent?
Yup see ya tomorrow!
See ya.

When I woke up that Saturday morning, mom had already made breakfast. I yawned and mumbled, "Morning," before dad came hurling down the stairs.
"Cassadee get dressed! You are not having a friend over with pajamas on." I rolled my eyes and threw on jeans and my CHB t-shirt. I was really happy mom had made this for me. It was my favorite shirt.
At about noon the doorbell rang. Who could it be? No take a guess! Come on guess! Wow you're good at this game! Yup, it was Kai. "Hey Cassadee. Hey Jesse." He wore his award winning smile and walked into the living room. My mom smiled and held her hand out to him. While
"I'm Annabeth Jackson, and this is Percy. We're Cassadee's parents." He took her hand and replied. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Jackson. I'm Kai."
Letting go of Kai's hand mom raised an eyebrow. "Kai is a very unusual name."
Kai laugh and ran a hand through his multi-colored hair. "It's short for Kaito. My mom loves this book series called The Lunar Chronicles so she named me after a character." My mom smiled. I saw a rush of blonde curls so I knew Naida had ran past me to the boy in our house. He turned around and almost stepped on her.
"I'm Naida! Do you vanna pway viff me?" Kai looked at her like she was bursting into flames. I translated. "She just said, 'I'm Naida, Do you want to play with me?' in toddler." (A/N: Incase that isn't clear Naida is 3 years old) He smiled and met her green stare with his bright blue.
"Sure, what do you want to play?" Naida jumped up and down and pointed at my shirt.
"DWEMIGUD!"
"Demigod." I translated. Kai took a step back looking uneasily. "Demigod?" I nodded. "It's an old family game. We pretend to be demigods and fight." He relaxed a little but not by much.
"You okay?" Dad put a hand on his shoulder. "You're shaking." HE glanced around. "I think I need to get home, Heather said I couldn't stay long."
I quickly jumped in. "I'll walk you home." I lead him out before anyone could object. Once we were outside the door I slapped him.
"What kind of crap was that? Heather said you could stay the entire afternoon!" He glanced nervously at me. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Kai you can tell me anything." He sighed. "Not this."
"Kai if you can't trust me then why are we even friends? You know even if I don't believe it I'll be there for you. I honestly thought—" He pressed his lips to mine and shut me up. The kiss lasted a long time and when he finally pulled away he looked into my eyes. "I'll tell you tomorrow. Just don't freak out. See ya." He ran off leaving me on my front porch.
"See ya." Saying this I turned around and met blond hair and green eyes about an inch taller than me. Jesse.
"You saw all of that didn't you." He nodded with a smug smile. "What do you want?"
"50 bucks for hush money and what his big secret is."
"Not the secret unless he wants to tell you. Cash I'll do."
"Fine. I won't tell mom about your little K-I-S—"
"JESSE!"
"Fine." He ran inside. My finger drifted to my lips. He just seemed to keep on surprising me.
So little Cassadee got her first kiss! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! Okay if it isn't obvious from Kai's freak out, he's a demigod.
So anyone who guessing his godly parent will get the final chapter of Cassadee's Crush dedicated to them. Chao!
