AN: WUDDY DUDDY DUD... Back again cuckoo readers! So, read another chapter and Louis's messing up this time...hahahaha...Let's see what's the mess?

BACK TO SCHOOL, ONCE AGAIN

(CASSIE'S POV)

Five words for excitement:

I

Am

Going

To

School…

Yay! Finally I get to attend my sophomore year for which I have struggled a lot and no one can deny that fact. When I was waken up this morning…. This is because it happened just like it used to be earlier. Marley was just upon me, with his drools dripping down on my face and Brady staring at me as I slept. Well, when I woke up I hurried to get to my wardrobe shouting on Brady to have woken me up earlier and Marley came into funning up and almost tripped me down to make my head come out of the sleepiness. I had picked out the new green colored top that was ¾ sleeved with a blue lace kilt skirt and my blue simple flats. I had been shouting all the time in shower and I didn't have any idea if Brady was really there. He usually skips it when I am getting mad. That is one of the reasons why we don't fight a lot. If he gets mad, I skip it (often), when I do, he skips out (always).

I ran downstairs in a hurry, as usual, to grab my breakfast when I saw that Louis was sitting and eating the breakfast. There was a book bag in the chair next to him.

"Hey, Morning, Princess." He greeted me with a bow.

"Dude, not in the morning at least. I will talk about it later. Anyway, what's with the bag?" I asked him.

"Not much of a morning person, as usual, eh? Well, I'm going to school with you. I'm 15 if you remember and I need some schooling." He answered.

As I was messing with my breakfast, I decided not to talk now and leave it for later. As we started walking for school, I spat out my questions.

"So, how did they take you in so fast?" I asked Louis.

"He went for a test the day before when those guys were giving you a training session." Brady answered.

"So, don't you think you're gonna miss your friends?"

"Never had any. We all used to shift so fast."

"Seriously? Well, no worries. Everyone out here becomes a friend real fast and we are always there." I told him. Brady was totally ignoring what I was saying. He was doodling with his cell phone instead.

Well, I ignored that. I just had a fight with him the day before. He was behaving pretty weird since Louis had been here. I don't know if it really is it but when I talked to Hayley about it, she pretty simply answered me:

"He's just jealous."

C'mon! Why would my boyfriend be jealous of someone of whom I have no memory of? I know Hayley is my emotional adviser but sometimes she is just too much in her Hayley-land. Well anyway, the group was waiting for us at the main gate. The school was as normal as earlier….EXCEPT the fact that everyone was staring at me. God, what now?

"Is everything okay?" I asked Brady.

"Perfecto." He answered with a Spanish accent.

"So, why is everyone staring at me?"

"C'mon, in." he ushered me inside with his hand on the small of my back. Yeah, even he knows that I could run away. The looks were that dangerous. Most of the looks I got from the cheerleaders and the jocks- the basic ones for example like Matt McCall who got drawn to give me the stares from making out with their girlfriends. Wow, what a centre-of-attraction am I!

"What's with them?" I whispered. All of a sudden, there was a stunned silence in the corridor and the next second everyone was discussing if I really was a ghost or Brady had a bought a look-alike robot of me. (Ghost- thought by that gang of three girls who wear black all the time and think that they are really some witches, Robot- thought by the gang Dave was in, earlier AKA the sci-fi gang.) I opened my locker as Brady stood by my side and watched my face that had almost turned red.

"Cassie, calm down. Your eyes are kind of going to turn purple." He told me. I could sense a hint of…laugh in that.

"Would you ask them to stop staring at me like that?" I retorted.

"No one's staring at you." He told me.

"Need proof? Here you go." I dropped a book. I knew there would be a reaction.

"She's a ghost!" the voice came from one of the three 'supposed' witches.

"God, she's not a ghost. Would you quit that? She's a human!" Brady shouted.

"We want to see that." The leader of the three said.

"What do you want to see? Me – flying around or scaring little kids?" I scowled. They started chanting some spells. That was way too weird. None of the three realized that everyone was laughing at that.

"Would you cool it? She's a human. You CANNOT move your hand in her." Brady wiggled his fingers, trying to push into my arm.

"Exactly, that was what I meant." I told them. They went away. "God, they're impossible."

He was laughing, again. I hated that.

"That was fun." He answered.

"Was it?" I shot him a glare.

"No, no. It wasn't." he answered, giggling. Later, Cole dragged him away after he kissed my left temple, I mean who else- Brady.

"They thought you were a ghost?" Louis came up to me, giggling the same way as Brady.

"God, they are seriously disgusting." I answered.

"You should've kept it for a while. It would've been fun to scare them like that." He answered. I shrugged.

"I don't know. I think they would've made a circle around me and done some ghost-scare- away ritual thingies."

My first one after my stupid homeroom, after a long while, was Language. It didn't cause me as much problem as Ms. Martinez came to my rescue and already told the class that I had been 'not' kidnapped but away due to some family problem. Yeah, really that. Brady's weird depressed behavior had given enough proof to attest that. Louis had that with me.

Boo, Miss Ghost!

He passed me a note.

I needa learn how to fly, no?

Amy is trying that these days. U know what? Leah imprinted on WAYNE! And Embry on Amy! You could always do something to ask her for a mix element

Now, what's that? Wait, really?!

Yeah, and It's not a long process as it sounds.

Hold on! How do you know that I thought it would be something long or…kind of like that?

Remember the brain-connection?

Yeah, right. Forgot about it.

There are some rules for it. Well, somewhat like when you donate blood. That A to A, B to B and O respectively in both. It's somewhat like it. Me and you can exchange, Amy and Wayne can always exchange but if in some case, you go really weak that my element doesn't help you be fine, we all would mix all ours and give it to you.

What's it like? I mean do you pack it in a crystal ball and give to me?

Um…no. Jeez, you're really weird at times. Even I don't remember it last time much. I remember that you were lying in front of me and I tried to take my energy out of me and it was in you.

Okay, thanks for that. : )

Now, we better stop and pay attention.

True, TTYL.

Next one was history with Hayley sitting right next to me. Russian revolution was half in way. I noticed a blonde girl who looked exactly like Regina from Mean Girls and that girl who was jealous of Selena Gomez in Another Cinderella Story, staring at me as if I stole her boyfriend. I mean figuratively or as if I stole one of her kidney. But basically like the first one. This look was somewhat like the 'butterflies' used to give me when Brady and I started going out together. Hayley now passed me a note.

(Bold- Hayley, italics- Cassie)

Hey ya Ghostie!

Louis told you? News travels fast around here.

Well, ya. You asked Brady about it?

About what?

Him being jealous of Louis.

Hayley come out of Hayley-land. I'm not that pretty that everyone would run after me.

THAT IS SO NOT TRUE! And you had a crush on him and he had on you when you were small.

That's true but you know what I mean. I am IN LOVE with Brady now and will be ever!

*Ahem* someone got a bit offended by the reality. You know all he needs is a girl that can make him blow all his feelings out just like a volcano. He is somewhat near to an extinct volcano that will blow one day so hard that it will cause an explosion.

Whatever.

What's your next?

Don't remember, yours?

Well, mine is Language with Sethy-boo! I'm kinda excited.

I kind of get it. Even I was missing Brady because since all these days we had been practically together all the time. He and I hadn't had any single class together since the morning. You get what I mean and DON'T SMIRK! I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!

So sorry. It was just really funny if you make a double meaning out if it.

Dirty Brains!

Ha! Funny! TTYL!

Same here. TTYL!

Anyway, my second last was chemistry and with Louis, I knew as earlier but Brownie was going for his soccer practice. I was stuck alone in Chemistry with Louis. It was expected that he and I were going to become partners. That same Blondie was on the table next to us. I saw her messing up with the chemicals on our table when Louis shooed her away.

"You know Hayley and I were talking in History. About…" I stopped in mid sentence as he started messing the chemicals as instructed by Prof. Higgins.

"About what?" he asked me.

"A lot of stuff. You remember about the crush thingy we had on each other when we were small?"

"I knew it was coming. Look, I was trying to tell you something since a lot of…" this was when Louis was interrupted by the sci-fi geek Norman.

"Hey, could you pass me the…thanks." He hadn't waited for Louis to say anything and had already picked up a test-tube from the stand.

"Dude, what was that?" he scowled at Norman. "Look, I was saying that it's been long since I wanted to tell you something and I don't care if you have Brady as your…"

I was looking at the burner when all of a sudden the flames maximized. Louis continued.

"Boyfriend. I just can't hold it longer. I have been in love with you ever since and will love you ever. I just don't know how I could've held it longer 'cause I was way too scared when you went away."

BOOM!

The flames burnt the chemicals and there was an explosion in the lab. Louis pushed me flat on the ground and covered me with himself. I was way too confused to understand what was going on. …

SITTING IN THE NURSE'S ROOM…

Now, I totally get it. The explosion had been because of me, because of my surprise. I re-winded whatever that had happened. You know what?

HAYLEY IS ALWAYS RIGHT WITH MY LIFE!

God, she is a psychic.

Or I am the stupid one who didn't get it ever since and Hayley is right. Brady is acting weird because he's insecure. He must've known from Meg about my crush on him when I was small.

I am sorry if I hurt you.

I could hear it faintly in my head as I looked at the floor as Nurse Daphne kept on telling me what I could do if I really felt some after effects of the explosion. Louis had been here when I was knocked out of conscious but later because of some issue, the others took him out. Brady isn't here since. Nurse Daphne told me he was in them too. I get it. I totally get it. Brady is going to kill Louis and again because of me! God, how many crimes am I going to commit in a day? As for Norman, he lost his eyebrows but his eyes were safe because he was wearing glasses. Anyway, the school-over bell rang up right then as I stopped thinking for a while. I picked up my bag when Paul came in with a slip of my name.

"Paul? What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"You fine?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I'm perfect. Where are Brady and Louis?"

"Let's go home, shall we?" he took my bag from me and, grabbed my wrist and dragged me along. "We have a situation."

"What? Is it something with the both of them?" I had this feeling.

"Bingo!" he jumped to open the door of the car.

"What's happening?" I asked and ran my hand down my temple to my cheek.

"Nothing much. Louis is trying to provoking Brady to kill him."

"Like how?" I asked when he drew the brakes.

"Go out." he ordered. I opened the door and got out. He had drawn the brakes in front of the woods. I knew that was going to happen. I mean, I didn't exactly know it but I had a feeling that this would happen after Louis told me that he was 'in love with me ever since'.

"C'mon, kiddo." He led me the way. We stopped in the clearing where the pack and the AWL as I call it. Louis was held by Embry and Wayne so that he didn't go loose and as for Brady, Sam and Jake were holding him back. Brady swung off his arm and Sam let go off him. He charged on Louis and Wayne and Embry gave up.

"Would you quit that Brady?!" I shouted.

"Told you *cough* that she *cough* still loves Me." he said and tried to stand up. Brady had gotten erected by now.

"Shut up!" Brady was coming back to get him but I came in the way and pushed him by his chest.

"God, would you stop it?" I scolded him. To Louis, I said "And you. I don't love you, 'kay? You are impossible, Louis. I told you Brady is my life now."

"What do you think, I don't know anything? I know he's a shape shifter. Faith, you and I are like each other. You are not even initially a Quileute. You are the Makabah princess. I can be somewhat healthier for you than him. I mean he is a commoner and I…"

"I don't want to talk about it. And…what era are you living in Mr. Racist? It's twenty first century. And there's no monarchy thing in the continental America! And wait a minute; I don't think it's in the world much! So, yeah, there's no way I'm going with the commoner thing. And what about the whole 'I am healthier for you'?" I took a deep breath. "I thought that it could get better between you and me and you, at first, spring up this 'I am in love with you' fad and then there's this thing that you are fighting with my boyfriend for my possession! What is your problem?" I ended and my nose, I knew, was flaring. I felt so weirded out. Brady showed Louis his index finger and that's-what-I-meant look. "As for you, this could've been handled with some brain? What makes you so insecure?! I mean do you really think I'm leaving you? You guys are…just too unexpectedly brainless."

There had been a pin drop silence since I had started speaking. I was shouting since three minutes atleast and I knew I needed a break.

"I never thought you'd say that." Louis turned his side.

"What do you mean by that? You were the one who freaked me out. You always knew that I loved him and will do no matter what!" I answered. I added 'almost' because Paul was there.

"I never thought there would be someone besides me who could cause so much silence." Sam added.

"I wanna go home." I didn't even take a look at Brady and just walked away. I knew he was following me, so I paced up faster. He caught my wrist and whirled me to face him.

"C'mon, I am sorry. Isn't that what you want me to say?" he said, being as casual as nothing happened.

"No, I never even expected you to apologize." I muttered. "You could fight with him. Be pointless, I don't care." I added politely as if he was doing the right thing.

"It's real dangerous when you say things these politely. I mean I am really sorry. It was just that…you know…" Brady gave Paul a look. I didn't get what it exactly was.

"I'll go. Think Rachel needs me back home." Paul told me and walked away.

"I know what?" I demanded.

"You know, you were away from me so long. You know what I felt when you weren't there. I just don't want to lose you." He told me patiently. There are times when you have to quit your feminist rules and be a softie. It was somewhat like that. His puppy dog eyes made me melt right down. He creates something in my heart that has a low melting point and melts it right down.

"Uh…okay. Fine. Can we walk back home? Brownie, can we just be fine with Louis, please?" I pulled my puppy dog face and tilted my head that makes him melt and I know that.

"I don't know, Cass. Things are getting way too weird since HE is here." He spat on the ground. "But I'll try."

"Promise?" I held out my hand. He held it tight.

"Promise." He answered.

I didn't want to even talk to anyone right now because I was way too confused about the whole Louis thing. I had started loving him as a friend but he messed everything up. Things could've been better if he would've held it longer. But I knew he might've not because I know what it's like when someone you love: loves someone else. It has 'supposedly' happened with me- when I thought Brady loved Sonny. Well, whatever, I love Brady and like Louis and he has got to live with it.

"Hey ya mom." I went in as I saw mom in the kitchen. This whole line didn't have any punch in it like it usually should. Seth was sitting in the kitchen flattering my mom. Brady said he had a few errands to run so I let him go.

"So, what happened? Everything fine with…" he was saying when I shot in.

"Yeah, at least I didn't see any ghouls around, lately." I muttered. God, if he slips the Louis thing, I will kill him.

"What? I was asking…"

"Yeah, Ms. Martinez is nice." I answered and towed him out of the kitchen as he had food in his mouth.

"I waa…khing…'bout…."

"Shut up! Don't even think of talking about him in front of mom." I answered.

"'Kay, is everything fine?" he asked me.

"He was saying that he is in love with me." I replied and sat on the couch.

"There's a twist in the story, yeah? So, what did you say and…wait…why were you in the nurse's office?" he asked me.

"Wait; don't tell me Hayley didn't tell you that she already knew what Louis would say to me?"

"Honestly saying, I knew it before her." He told me. Great, was I the only one who never noticed? "But how come you never noticed?"

"I don't know. I thought he loved me as a friend and he even told me that he loved me once." I answered. "I don't know how crazy am I, do I?"

"Ex-xactly." I answered.

"Seth, I need your help. I screwed everything up! I just did." I was all too panicky. "Louis would be so hurt. I mean I practically snapped him off knowing that he loves me. I just freaked out. I was all like 'dude, you freaked me out' and blah, blah, blah. I don't know what to do. I mean I love Brady but he is a friend and I shouldn't have hurt him that much. God, I feel like I am using him or something."

"First calm down and tell me what did you say to him?"

"I told him that I didn't believe in the whole commoner thing….god, it would've been so easier if you'd been there." I snapped.

"Go and apologize to him." He told me.

"WHAT?" I spat in.

"Well: One smile can start a friendship.

One word can end a fight.

One look can save a relationship and

One person can change your life." He answered.

"I kind of get it." I said and pursed my lips.

"He'll be in the woods, the same clearing where you guys met for the, uh…second time." He answered.

I swear Paul and Brady are going to throw a large fit when they know this. When they know that I went into the woods,

Alone,

To meet Louis.

Well, whatever, as if I can't cool them down which is way too easy, for the record. I saw him sitting on a boulder talking to someone on his cell phone. I want one like that! I mean the cell phone, not the boulder.

"Uh…Louis?" I asked so that I wasn't disturbing him.

"Faith, we gotta run." He answered back and this seriously did startle me.

"What? Where?" I got alarmed.

"Richland woods, the hidden world of Makabah tribe."

Jeez, it sounded exactly like someone was telling Alice that she was in Wonderland or might be they were telling Alex (Selena Gomez) from Wizards of Waverly Place that she was going to go to the hidden world of Mystic beings.

AN: Now, someone do tell me how was it?
