YEAR 18!

mbled, and a few months later she saw Brian spending time with Cass. She felt her stomach churn Everytime she saw them together. She hated Cass for it but deep down she knew Cass wasn the reason, it just felt better knowing she had someone to blame. Cass on the other hand was oblivious to all this until Natalia brought her attention to it all. She was stunned, but she found it funny, ”how can someone I know nothing about hate me for something I didn do? ” She asked Nattie and she shrugged.

About a year later Cass found her self falling for Brian, she couldn help it. He was different from all other friends she had in the past, except Natalia of course, he was kind and all she wanted in a man, plus he had the looks. Brian was an amazing student, he was definitely smarter than Cass, but he didn make her feel bad about it. He often tutored her when time for exams were close and she always found it helpful. It was difficult for them to concentrate as they often slipped off track while studying and started talking about other things, but they always found their way back and worked it out in the end. Its was their thing and it was beautiful. They were always there for each other, hence the situationship problem. They weren a thing but they felt every bit of affection towards each other and they both found themselves jealous on some occasions.

The biology teacher walked in whistling as usual and gave the class a warm smile. He told them to break up into pairs of two and prepare for a presentation. ”De ja vu ” Brian thought while he looked over at Cass who smiled back at him. She was truly beautiful, her long blonde hair, wonderful blue siren eyes that reminded him of the sea. She usually put on little or no make up but she looked amazing to him every single time of the day.

”What do you think we should pick as a topic? ” Cass asked. She was nervous because she knew this was biology, she didn want to end up taking about something like reproduction, that would make her really uncomfortable. Brian sensed this and picked something on flowers and plants. This is why Cass loved him he always put her needs first and it made her happy every single time he did. He often reassured her when he noticed she was getting anxious because if her insecurities. Cassie had acne and she hated it everyday, there were the good days when her skin actually looked good but the other days it was just annoying to see the spots. She would look around at all the people calling her beautiful and wonder if they really meant it, but when she when she talked about it with Brian and he told her that she was beautiful, that the spots weren flaws and that they didn make her any less of a person, she felt a different kind of warmth and acceptance in her heart. She laughed hard at herself for being so silly about a boy sometimes.

During the presentation Brian made sure that Cass was comfortable and confident. After class she gave him a big hug and thanked him for everything, If anything they got a good grade, and that was great. He was happy that she was happy. ”This can go on for much longer, I have to ask her ” Brian thought while he held her tighter in his embrace. Brian had resolved to get over his reservation and just ask Cass out ”its better late than never ”, meanwhile someone else had made up her mind about something else.

Kate had been watching Cass and Brian,with blazing red eyes and a death stare, since the presentation, and she felt her heart sink as she saw the way he hugged Cass. She felt like she could pull her hair out and just scream, but she kept it cool. Her heart started to race as she had flashbacks of all the lovely moments they spent together, she couldn bear the sight of Brian and Cass together, it just didn sit right with her. ”Thats it, I can take this anymore ” she mumbled under her breath. She was going to make Cass pay, Even if it was the last thing she did before graduating and she was sure of that.
