Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own anyone except Cathy.

A/N: I haven't given up on this story, it's just not as popular as two of my other's. Sorry guys.

I walked into my English class Monday morning, and there he was. He didn't look my way, even though I was sure he knew of my presence. Yes, Chase did that disappearing act again. I woke up Sunday in his t-shirt, in his boxer shorts, in his bed, in his room, but there was no him. I waited for half an hour, thinking maybe he just went to get breakfast or something, but nope, nothing.

Leaving that room, I felt so ashamed. When I got back to my room, Kate wasn't there, so I didn't have to explain where I was last night. Since it was my last day of summer, and it was only an hour drive, I decided to go home for the day. It would probably cause panic, but it was a good excuse for my absence.

But hiding away yesterday didn't escape the fact that I'd have to face Chase in classes today. "Cathy, up here." I heard Kate call my name. I looked her direction and she had an empty seat next to her that I assumed was for me since Pogue and Caleb were a row above her.

"Hey." I said giving her a small smile and sitting next to her. The second I settled the girl started talking my ear off, apparently I missed something yesterday while I was gone, but I wasn't sure of what it was, because I stopped listening half way through her first sentence. I was pretending to be engulfed in our conversation, but I couldn't shake that feeling of being watched again.

Looking past Kate, and to the other side of the room I caught Chase staring at me. I looked away quickly, and focused back to Kate.

"So, Kira was in the shower for a good hour trying to get all of the paint off of her." She said laughing. I hadn't heard the story, but that line alone made me bust up laughing.

Chase's POV

Her laughter was killing me. I was longing for her, and I hated that my need for revenge out weighed my want for her.

At first I thought I could have both, but I noticed the way Golden Boy looked at her. I knew he'd make his move, swoop her up, and then I'd be able to use her against him.

I know how sick and twisted that sounded, to endanger the one I love for my own revenge. It hurt me knowing I'd have to hurt her, but I needed the power from Danvers. I hoped in the end she would understand, and carry on my blood line, but even I knew that sounded crazy.

She looked my way again, and we made eye contact, instead of looking away like she did last time, she looked at me with questioning, hurt, sad eyes. I couldn't handle it. Thankfully out teacher entered the room and we looked away towards him. I was hoping I could focus during class, but I honestly knew that wasn't going to happen.

Cathy's POV

I tossed my bag onto the floor next to my desk, and tossed myself onto my bed. Today felt like it was never going to end, ever. I was beyond exhausted, and the fact Chase was in every single one of my classes besides Home Economics killed me emotionally.

He stared at me non-stop. There was once I thought he was actually going to sit next to me, but he walked right past me. I was getting mixed signals, and I didn't like it. I wish I would stop reading into it actually, but I was just so damn hopeful.

My thoughts of Chase were interrupted by Kate coming in with Pogue and the rest of the guys. Pogue and Kate sat on Kate's bed while Reid, and I believe the guys name was Tyler, each pulled up a chair from Kate's and my desk, and Caleb stood awkwardly against the door. I looked at him, and moved my legs. "You can sit on my bed if you want Caleb." I said. He gave a sly smile, and sat at the edge of my bed. "So, not that I mind the company, but what the hell are y'all doing in our room."

Kate laughed, because she thought I was joking, but really I just wanted to be alone. "Well, the guys wanted to go out to Nicky's for dinner."

"It's Monday." I shot at her.

"Doesn't mean you can't go out for a bite to eat." Reid said.

"Obviously we can go out, but Nicky's is too much for a Monday, sorry, but I have homework."

"She sounds like Caleb." Tyler, who I have never heard speak before, said.

"Go back to being a mute if the shit you say is going to be real stupid." I glared at him.

"You act like it's a bad thing." Caleb said, pretending to be hurt.

"No offence, but no one has a stick up their ass as much as you do. I've barely been around you, and I know that." Everyone in the room laughed, except Caleb. "Like I said though, no offence." I smiled at him.

"How about I take you out tonight and prove you wrong?" Caleb said. I was a little taken aback he asked me out in front of all these people. I was taken aback he asked me out at all.

"Fine but there has to be a bet that goes along with this." I said with an evil grin. I could feel all eyes on Caleb and me as we talked.

"Name your price."

"If you surprise me, I will do whatever you ask of me for one whole day. If you however, are lame, and boring like I'm sure you're going to be, you have to go skinny dipping, tomorrow night, in front of all of us."

I watched as Caleb stuck his hand out for me to shake it, "Deal."

A/N: Next chapter, the date. I've never asked what my reviewers want before, but give me some really good ideas.
