HANGING OUT
(CASSIE'S POV)
I knew that Brady, Seth and Cole were good friends and so even I was added to their little group. It was a Monday today and we were to go to school. I hated going to school on Mondays. Imagine that you had an awesome Sunday dream and you would have to get up lazily and get back to the regular dog life. How bad was this!
Anyway, I got up lazily and got ready in a purple long sweater and a combination of a black skirt and black leggings. I heard Nectar (my dog who is a terrier) howl today. He had been really sick since some days and Paul thought that maybe this was his end because he was really old now. I didn't want him to go away because he was the last gift that my dad gave to my mom. Jeez! I didn't want to think as much in the morning.
I went downstairs and today, we had a new person sitting on the breakfast table other than Seth and Cole. It was Brady.
"Good morning, guys!" I said.
"Yo!" Seth said.
"Yo ho!" Cole replied.
"Good morning!" Brady said. At least there was someone who spoke human language.
"You here?" I asked him.
"With them. We usually hung out together before I went to Washington." Brady replied.
"Okay. Rachel, my breakfast." I asked.
"They finished the eggs and bread. Even Brady didn't get to eat." She replied.
"And what else could I expect from both of you?" I said.
"Love you too." Seth joked. He was trying to annoy me in the very morning by flirting, so here was his answer.
"Love you infinite." I retorted.
"You could have cereal?" she asked.
"No, I'll have something from the school canteen." I said. Paul showed up now.
"'morning, kids!" he said.
"Good morning, bro." I said.
"I guess you people are late today. Here, your lunch money." Paul gave me a 10 $ note. I kissed his cheek and the four of us set off to school.
First thing that I noticed at school was that almost every second girl was trying hitting Brady's attention but he didn't seem distracted. Seth and Cole left to their basket ball team and I and Brady were left. The classes hadn't started yet, so I decided to give him a tour of the school. I kept my bag in the locker and we started.
"So, what game do you like?" I asked him.
"It's basket ball. I love it and people say I'm good at It." he replied.
"Then you have heavy chances of you getting girls attention at school, huh?" I laughed.
"Don't need it, because my crush isn't giving me any attention."
"That's sad. She's surely missing many things. Have you imprinted on her or just like that, you like her?" I asked.
"Actually both. I imprinted on her first and then I fell in love with her nature." He replied.
"It's out of my understanding." I said and then Sunny and Ashley, my friends came up.
"Hey Ashley! Hey Sunny." I said.
"Hey Cassie." They said continually fixing their eyes on Brady.
"Cassie, you got a bf?" Ashley said.
"Are you kidding me? No. he's just a friend." I complained.
"I understand, huh." Brady laughed.
"Not funny, Fuller." I said.
"Cassie, we're going to TMFC today and Seth and Cole are joining too." Sunny said.
"Awesome." I replied.
"TMFC… The Musical Food Club?" he asked.
"Yeah. My personal favorite place in this world." I said happily.
"Could I come with you people too?" Brady asked shyly and I noticed sunny getting a bit interested in my new friend. I coughed now.
"Yeah, that'll be good." Sunny said and both of them went away.
"Why do you like that place?" he asked.
"Well, it's all musical out there and music is the only thing that speaks to me. I mean sometimes I feel that it's in it me." I said.
"That's good. Our thoughts match, huh." He replied.
(BRADY'S POV)
I wanted to know each and every thing about her and so I asked her about TMFC. I went to my Math's class now and she headed to her language class. I was thinking of today's morning that I hung out at her place.
*FLASHBACK*
"Good morning, guys!" she said.
"Yo!" Seth said.
"Yo ho!" Cole replied.
"Good morning!" I said.
"You here?" she asked me.
"With them. We usually hung out together before I went to Washington." I replied.
"Okay. Rachel, my breakfast." she asked.
"They finished the eggs and bread. Even Brady didn't get to eat." She replied.
"And what else could I expect from both of you?"She said.
"Love you too." Seth joked.
"Love you infinite." she retorted.
"You could have cereal?" she asked.
"No, I'll have something from the school canteen." she said. Paul showed up now.
"'morning, kids!" he said.
"Good morning, bro." she said.
"I guess you people are late today. Here, your lunch money." Paul gave her a 10 $ note. She kissed his cheek and the four of us set off to school.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
She said that she doesn't believe in relationships. Then why did she say that she loves Seth? What if this wasn't just a joke? What if she really loves Seth? What if Seth had imprinted on her? I hadn't really turned to wolf since some months and so anything could be possible. I wasn't even that square jawed sucker- Edward that I could read both of their brains. I needed an answer. The best answer could be gotten from Seth himself. After the class ended, I went over to their practice court. This was it. If he had imprinted on my imprintee, then he was dead. Cassie was mine, just mine. No one could take her from me. I loved her and no one else had the right to love her the way I did. The court was clear and it was just Seth and Cole out there. I slammed the door, not knowing that I was shaking.
"Clearwater, we've gotta talk!" I shouted.
"What's it, brad?" Seth asked.
"Cassie. What do you feel about her? Tell me, right now." I demanded.
"Cassie?" he acted like he didn't know anything.
"Yeah, do you like her? Have you imprinted on her?" I asked.
"No! She's my best friend, nothing else. I know that you've imprinted on her and I would never want her that way." He replied.
"You sure?" I asked.
"You can trust me, anyway." He said.
"I guess I can." I said.
(CASSIE'S POV)
We went to TMFC together after school. It was me, Seth, Cole, Brady, Ashley and Sunny. We were at our usual table listening to the karaoke but with someone new with us. I was up to go to Mr. Fuller, the owner of the club. Wait a sec! Brady's full name was Brady Allen Fuller. The owner of this club was Mr. Allen Fuller. I was up from the table and Brady was with me. I went to the counter to him.
"Hey Mr. Fuller!" I greeted.
"Hey Cassie!" he replied. "Hey son! You here? I thought you were with your friends."
"Yeah, this is my friend, dad –Cassie." He said.
"Oh! So, have fun. Yeah, Cassie, just try this out. I experimented it last night." Mr. Fuller said and offered me a paper cup that had a coffee shade milkshake in it.
"What's it?" I asked.
"Well, basically mocha slush." He said and I tried it with a spoon. Mr. Fuller usually offered me free samples as I was a regular costumer out there and Paul's dad knew him well… my dad as well. He knew me really well and sometimes when I got bored and had no friend to hang out with, we would have an awesome conversation.
"It's awesome, Mr. Fuller." I replied.
"Should we keep it in the menu?" he asked.
"Why not?" I said and later we went back to our table. "Guys, where are Nathan, Ethan and Rodrick these days?" I asked Seth and the others when Ashley and Sunny were looking away. Rodrick was 14 and the only son of his parents while Ethan and Nathan were twins and both of them had turned 15 last month.
"They've just started phasing since last night." Seth said.
"So when would they be back?" I asked.
"Guess next to next week." Cole said. Later, we went back home.
(BRADY'S POV)
I went back home after we left Cassie back at her place. I was really tired today as I had spent my night helping Rodrick, Nathan and Ethan last night. They were having problems with phasing back. I went straight to my bedroom and went to sleep.
I saw Cassie at TMFC and no one was there except the music. We were both looking at each other and she was getting shy. I went to her and she slid away a bit. I caught her hand and said "I really love you, Cassie. I've imprinted on you. Do you want to go out with me somewhere?"
"I love you too, Brady." She replied.
I was around to kiss her when I heard Mark's voice. Mark was my brother who was going to turn 13 some months later.
"CASSIE?" he shouted and I woke up.
"What are you doing in my room?!" I shouted.
"MOM!" he shouted.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I'm gonna tell her that you've got one now. What did she use to say? "Mark learn from Brady. He doesn't look at girls like that and you… you don't even talk to a girl properly before flirting with her." She's gonna know that how you are!" he said.
"Are you crazy?" I said slowly.
"You were going to kiss her in your dreams."
"You're not going to tell her anything. She would suck me up."
"And why do I care?"
He was a dog – a literal dog. I hated him more than anything.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"15 bucks won't be bad." He replied.
"I won't even give you 1." I said.
"13" he replied.
"3" I said.
"12" he said.
"10." I said at last.
"Done." He said. "But what is she like? I mean you were totally into her."
"She's damn good." I replied at last.
