"Hey, Short-Stuff. Come here." Cassandra was hoping he wouldn't notice her. She slunk over to where Sami was standing with his friend.
"What do you want, Sam?"
"Your mom and my dad made a plan to have me watch you in the mornings and after school." Both Cassandra and Sami's friend scoffed at the same time.
"How are you supposed to watch me, when I'm older than you? Hm?"
"Y'know, Sami could just not help you and watch you get eaten alive at this school." Sami's friend had said, mocking Cassie's accent. Cassie looked him straight in the eye.
"What's your name?"
"Jon."
"Hi, Jon. Can you do me a favor and shut the hell up?!" Jon smirked then whispered to Sami.
"I like this girl."
The bell rang and Cassie walked into the school followed by Sami and Jon. She was greeted by the principle who showed her to her locker. After she put all her stuff into her locker, she walked into her homeroom. She sat in a seat and started to read a book, while she heard hushed whispering. She looked around the room, and she saw some people staring at her. Cassie was expecting it so she sat back in her seat, and seeing that the teacher wasn't in the room yet, she spoke.
"Is there something interesting about me?" As couple of the teens looked among each other, until one spoke.
"No offense or anything, but you seem too much of a classy woman to be in a scrappy town like Cincinnati." Suddenly everyone became hushed again and they all minded their own business.
She was confused, until she felt someone put their hands on her shoulders.
"You should her the mouth on this little girl, then you'll realize she'll fit in great." It was Jon. She removed his hand from her shoulder as he took the seat next to her and relaxed. She looked around the room at everyone who seemed like stone. Then she whispered to Jon.
"Why do they all like scared?"
"'Cause they are."
"Why?"
"Me. I've had a past memory with almost everyone in this school, and so has Sami. To be honest, I'm actually surprised I'm not dead or in prison right now."
"That doesn't sound good.."
The teacher walked in.
"Ah, Miss..."
"Snow. Cassandra Snow." Jon snickered at her last name.
"Miss Snow, if you don't mind, I'm going to move you up to the front of the room."
"I'm not exactly going to protest, but why." The whole class was listening to the conversation and multiple students, including the teacher, stared at Jon. Cassandra turned around to see he has a sinister smirk. Then she smiled at him.
"Don't worry about him. He wouldn't dare touch me if he knows what is good for him." She saw his sinister smirk turn into a smirk of disbelief.
When Cassie turned back around, even the teacher was shocked. Cassie just continued to read her book and a couple of the students were still in awe.
Throughout the day, Cassie went about her own business, just trying to make it through the first day. She knew there was going to be some ups and downs to that day, but she wasn't expecting what she got. Cassie was in lunch, trying to find somewhere to sit, when she saw an open spot, so she sat at a table, alone. She wasn't alone for long.
An unfamiliar voice started talking to her.
"Hello.." Cassie looked up at the girl.
"Hi.." "What are you doing sitting here?"
"Eating, like normal people would during lunch." Another person, a larger male, followed the girl.
"You're new here, and you must not know that this table that you're sitting at, is claimed."
"By?"
"Us."
"I don't see your names anywhere on the table." "Don't get cocky." The girl barked as she smacked her gum.
"It's the first day of school, can't I just sit here..?"
"We aren't going to let some.. What do you call sluts in England?"
"Slag?"
"Right, we aren't going to let some low class slag sit here and contaminate the table. Bye now!"
Cassandra waited a few seconds before standing up and moving to a different table. This time, she made sure she'd be truly alone. After all that transpired that day, she was glad when she could finally go home.
"How was your first day, Cassandra?"
"Good, for the most part but I'm never going back there." Cassie chuckled.
"Who do I need to beat up?" She smirked and they both laughed.
"Just this group of kids. I don't know what grade they're in, but they seem younger than me."
"You're fourteen, going on 15 next month. I'm pretty sure they're older than you. What's the problem there?"
"They pretty much kicked me to another table in lunch today."
"Why?"
"I don't know, supposably they claim that table or something."
"Well then. Just so you know, I have to go in a few minutes. I start my dream tonight and nothing is going to stop me."
Just as she said that, they heard a loud knock on the door. Cassie looked at her mom, who shot her eyes right down to her purse. Cassie whispered,
"Who's that?" Her mom looked at her with loving eyes and laughed nervously.
"There might be a slight possibility that I might have... Uh.. Paid two people to watch you.." She nervously laughed again.
"You what?! Mum, I'm 14! I shouldn't have a babysitter!"
"Cass', you're still not used to this town or it's people." She walked towards the door.
"I want you to be safe."
"Who did you 'hire'?"
"I didn't exactly hire him, he's dad volunteered him, and he brought along his friend." "Mom! I HATE YOU!" She walked into the livingroom.
Her mom opened the door, and there stood the two guys that show the biggest problem for her.
Sami and Jon.
