Can I just say how sorry I am for not updating? When I got back from basketball camp I realized that I had a ton of summer work to finish! Not to mention school starting and everything. So again I'm so sorry, but I think this chapter will be worth the wait. BTW the italics are Cassie's thoughts.
Cassie pulled her small silver car into the parking lot of the movie theater. After she turned off the engine and grabbed her purse, she hastily locked the car and ran inside the building.
"Where have you been? The movie starts in 5 minuets!" said the girl with curly red hair.
"There are previews!" Cassie replied to her best friend Scarlet.
"But we still have to get popcorn and stuff," she sighed heavily, "Good thing I expected this from you, I got us tickets, we're in theater 3."
The girls bought a large popcorn and 2 small drinks before walking into the theater and finding seats in the middle of the room.
"You read the book right?" asked Scarlet.
"Of course! I just hope the movie is as good as the book." At that moment the lights dimmed and the movie started.
An hour and a half later the lights turned on and the girls finally stood up from their seats. They walked down the aisle and threw away their empty popcorn bowl and cups. Once they were out of the theater Cassie said, "Well that…"
"Hold that thought!" Scarlet interrupted before running to the bathrooms.
When she came out Cassie said, "You have the bladder of a squirrel!"
"Hey I had to go since the last half hour of the movie!"
"Wow, I'm impressed that you could wait so long," Cassie said as they exited the building.
"Yup I'm really proud. Hmmm I want some food, we should go to that ice cream place across the street," said Scarlet.
"What? We just ate a whole thing of popcorn!"
"This is why they invented small cones!" said Scarlet.
"Sure, ice cream in the middle of winter? Why not!" And on that note the girls walked over to the little ice cream place. The guy at the counter that they recognized as a senior from their high school asked, "What would you ladies like?"
"I'll have a small vanilla cone," said Scarlet.
"And I'll have a small chocolate cone with sprinkles please," said Cassie.
"OK. That will be $5.50." Before Scarlet could even open her purse, Cassie was handing him the money. When Scarlet shot her a look that said, what do you think your doing, Cassie said, "What? You paid for the tickets."
The guy came back and handed the girls their ice cream with a napkin wrapped around the cone. Then thy walked back to their cars and some of Cassie's ice cream dripped on her shirt. "Aw crap," she said before grabbing the napkin around her cone to wipe it off, but paused when she saw some black lettering on it. It said, Call Me 248-515-1257.
Scarlet said, "OOO! He likes you! You need to call him!
"Nah, do you want it?" Cassie asked.
"What!? Your not gonna call him? What's wrong with you!" she paused, "Whoa you like someone else! Who is it? Do I know him? Oh my god I don't believe this! Is he cute? Can I meet him?" she said franticly, jumping to conclusions that just had to be true.
"Wait, I don't like anyone!" Or do I?
Scarlet stared at her and said, "I'm not stupid."
Damn it… I forgot how well she knows me. "Well, maybe I do like him…"
"Aww you're so cute! So what's his name and when can I meet him," Scarlet asked.
"Umm, his name is Jack and uh, you can meet him soon," not that you could see him… "Dang I have to go," Cassie said looking at her phone to see that it was a only quarter till 9 and she had to meet Jack.
"Ok well I'll see ya later!" Scarlet said before hopping into her car and driving away.
It was about 5 minuets to 9 when Cassie walked into her house. She went to her parent's bedroom to tell them that she had gotten home but they were surprisingly already asleep. So Cassie walked up stairs and told her brother Mike that she was going to bed. She then opened the door to her room when she figured that no one would notice her when she left.
As she opened the door she had a mini heart attack because there was some one in her room.
She let out a small shriek and jumped back when she saw the white haired intruder in the bedroom. Jack pulled his eyes away from the picture of Cassie and her family and chuckled at her, finding it comical that he had scared her so easily.
"That was not funny," Cassie said but couldn't help but laugh at herself.
"You ready?" Jack asked. Cassie nodded and the two crept downstairs to retrieve her gray coat, boots, and white ice skates. She slowly opened the door as to not alert her family of her leaving.
Once outside, Cassie led Jack to the pond that she skated on every winter when she was a kid. After a while of walking through the snow Cassie noticed that Jack didn't have skates.
"No skates?" she asked, but immediately regretted. Of course he doesn't have skates; he doesn't even wear shoes.
"Nope, its much more fun this way," he replied with a smile that made Cassie's heart skip a beat and blush lightly. No, no, no. I don't like him; She tried to convince herself.
"Dang, I forgot that the pond would be covered with snow," Cassie said when they had reached the small pond.
"It's ok, I'll take care of it," Jack replied, and he was soon brushing off the snow by controlling the wind effortlessly. Meanwhile, Cassie was pulling on her skates and walking toward the ice. At first she had some trouble getting used to skating again, it had been almost 2 years since she skated last.
Jack looked over and smiled to himself as he watched Cassie try to get used to the ice. He started to use his staff to create a smoother surface for them to skate on. When he finished smoothing the ice he skated a little himself then looked over at Cassie.
She seemed to be in her own world. Within 15 minuets of being on the ice, she had remembered how to move her skates and body to be able to go faster and twirl in the air. Not that she was leaping 3 feet off the ground, but just taking light jumps. She skated over toward Jack and the two skated around each other.
Jack took her hands and they seemed to dance with each other as they glided over the jumps. They smiled and laughed, just enjoying their time together. The more that Jack focused on her he forgot to control his powers and it started to lightly snow.
They stopped and Cassie looked up toward the sky and smiled as the snowflakes caught on her hair and eyelashes. Jack stopped to and thought to himself, I'm not going to miss this chance, if I don't do it now I never will.
Cassie looked at him and he smiled with that adorable half smile before leaning into her and lightly kissing her lips. At first Cassie was shocked but then she kissed him back, feeling a tingling of the warm meeting the ice.
You like? I hope so cuz I know I do. So just as I was about to finish this chapter, I got stuck on the dialog, so it took me a while to figure out. But now I'm hoping to get back on track. My goal is to have one chapter every month but I'm hoping to have 2 each month. Again I am so sorry, please don't stop reading!
