"Sami, you should have seen what happened in homeroom today. Little Miss British over there 'put me in my place,' or so she thought." Cassie turned around and smirked.
"I just told them the truth!" Sami was confused.
"Cass' here decided it'd be a good idea to say that she could handle me if I tried anything with her. I'm pretty sure that she even scared the teacher."
"Wow, Cassie. You've had a tough day, I guess." Cassie was too busy texting Alexa to pay attention. Sami started rambling again.
"All I saw was the little predicament in lunch today." Cassie turned around once again.
"What?! How?"
"Jon and I were there."
"Where? I didn't see you two."
"Good, we were planning on you not to."
"Okay.. Do you know who they were?"
"Yeah. That was Mark." "And the girl?" Jon and Sami exchanged looks, then Jon spoke.
"Her name's Lexi'. She's the school slut."
"Shut up, Jon. She isn't a slut."
"Am I missing something here?"
"Yeah, that Sami's girlfriend. They skipped 8th grade together."
"Ooooh, Sami! You have a girlie friend?"
"Shut up. It's not a big deal." Jon smirked.
"Wow. Well, you guys don't have to worry about me." "Why?"
"'Cause.. I'm not going anymore. No matter what my mom says.." Cassie looked back at her phone and continued texting Alexa, until she heard another knock on the door.
Cassie got up and opened the door to see the girl that kicked her from the table earlier.
"What are you doing here, Lexi'?"
"Sami's dad said I could find him here." She looked down at her phone and started texting.
"Well, do you want to talk to Sami, or continue texting whoever?" Cassie had get a text so she looked at her phone.
'Hang on, I'm trying to get past this dumb bitch to speak to my boyfriend.'
Cassie was slightly confused. Then she finally figured it out and texted Alexa back.
"Hey... Alexa. Next time you're going to call me a dumb bitch, actually look at me and say it."
Alexa, or as she likes to be called Lexi', shot her eyes up to met Cassandra's. She then covered her mouth. Sami and Jon were confused.
"What's going on here?" Sami cautiously asked.
"Remember how I kept telling you about that girl I did that penpal activity with? It's Cassie.."
"Welcome to my house, Lexi'.." Alexa walked into the apartment and put her phone down on the counter then looked at Sami.
"Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you, why are you here?"
"Doesn't matter." Cassie was kinda giggling to herself without anyone noticing.
Sami and Alexa were talking while Cassie laid on the living room floor and Jon did whatever he was doing for a couple hours before Alexa left. Cassie looked at her watch which read '12:13'.
Cassie stood up and paced around the room. Jon could see something was up.
"What's wrong, kid?"
"My mom was supposed to be home hours ago."
"Maybe she got caught in traffic."
"For 4 hours?!"
"Calm down."
Cassie took a deep breath and stopped pacing. All of a sudden she felt a sharp pain in her stomach which made her collapse on the floor. After she found the strength to stand up, Jon walked in.
"You okay, Cass'?"
"Yeah, it's just I have a really, really, really bad sharp pain in my stomach."
"Why?"
"I don't know.."
The house phone started ringing and Sami answered it, since Jon and Cassie were too busy trying to figure out what happened. Sami was on that phone, silently, just listening for what seem like hours. After he hung the phone up, he asked Jon to join him in another room, because they needed to talk. Cassie laid on the floor, trying to make the pain go away, and she curiously wondered what was going on. She sat up when she saw both Jon and Sami walk in the room, staring at her.
"What..?"
"I don't know how to say it without hurting you." Sami explained as Cassandra chuckled a little.
"Nothing could hurt me more than this pain." Jon scoffed.
"You stupid little girl."
"Don't call me stupid, I know it has to do with my mom. Tell me what happened."
"I'll be the heartless one and say it; she's dead. Some idiot hit her on the way home from her job and part of the metal from the truck impaled her straight through her stomach. Sorry, kid."
Jon left and slammed the door behind himself. That hit her like a boulder, but her expression stayed neutral. The pain went away in her stomach. It all made sense.
The night her dad died, he was shot down at his job because he was a police officer, he got shot in the chest. When that happened, Cassie felt a horrible chest pain until her and her mom knew what happened.
She sat there, staring blankly at the wall for an hour.
"Why did Jon storm out like that?"
"'Cau-.. I don't know.." Cassie looked down and quietly whispered,
"Get out.."
"What?"
"Get out! Get out, now!" Sami slowly walked out of the apartment. Cassie was furious. With herself, with the idiot that hit her mom, and Jon for storming out like that, at everything.
That's not what Cassie expected for her first day. She sat in her living room for hours speechless, emotionless, lifeless. She was recalling everything that happened that day. The last words she said to her mom were, "I hate you," and that hurt her worse than anything..
She knew what she had to do.
The only thing she could do.
Nothing..
