Bullworth Academy

Little Birdie

Cassandra left for the house this morning. She had no intentions in coming to class and no intentions of socializing today. As she made her way to her car, she was stopped by a certain someone. "Cassandra..the school's most wanted girl. Or shall I say most insane." Gary said leaning against the garage door. "Move." She demanded. "What? I can't have a civil conversation with a well known celebrity??" He joked. "For the last time, MOVE." She raised her voice. "And I thought your sister was the persistent one. I see it runs in the fam-" Cassandra grabs Gary by his shirt and throws him to the ground. She calmly takes a deep breath and puts in the code to the garage. "Aggressive are we?" Gary quickly comes to his feet and pins Cassandra to the wall. "Two can play at that game." He whispered. "What do you want?" Cassandra sighed. "What do I want? Were you even listening? All I wanted was a small conversation. It's too late for that." He said. "Then, let go." Cassandra spat. Gary scoffed, "Uh, I believe the proper ettiquette for a girl of your standards would atleast  say 'Please'.

 Cassandra leaned her forehead against the cold garage. "Can you bloody let me go please, Gary Smith." She said through her teeth. "Oh~, I like the sound of that." He growled as Cassandra got in her car and drove off. Cassandra's phone began to ring. She picked it up without looking at the contact name while her eyes were glued to the road. "Hello?" She said. "Hey, Cassie-babe. Where did you go?" The voice said. It was Christy. "I saw your car pass by the entrance." Christy added. "I just needed a day off..That's all." Cassandra said. "Don't lie Cassie. I know how it is. Although, I'm a little upset you didn't invite me, I can understand." She said. "I can still pick you up if you want to go somewhere." Cassandra said. "Ah! Really, you'd do that for me?" Christy squealed. "Well, I've been meaning to ask you to give me a house tour." Christy hummed. "I'm on my way back." Cassandra said. 

Back at the school, Cassandra picks up Christy and they head to the Lindenberg household. "You never told me you lived down this way." Christy nudged Cassandra as they both exited the car. Leading her into the house, Cassandra shows Christy the downstairs and leads her upstairs. Christy immediately wandered off down the hall by instinct she found Cassandra's room. She opened her closet leading her to be speechless. "Look at the size of this thing, Jealous, jealous, jealous.." Christy shook her head as she found her way to the dresses. Christy peered back at Cassandra while thinking. Cassandra noticed and immediately became skeptical. "What?" Cassandra said. "Oh, just thinking up a kind of makeover for you." Christy said turning back towards the clothes. "You don't have to do that for me." Cassandra shook her head. "Girl, no offense, you need to be less modest and just go with things sometimes." She said. "You're with Johnny right?" Christy said while still browsing her array of clothes. "Mhm" Cassandra replied. "This." Christy grabbed something and hid it from Cassandra. "Call Johnny." Christy said. "Huh?" "Call Johnny, you heard me. You two are going out tonight." Christy stated. "Wait! But before you do, where are your shoes?" Christy tilted her head. "There's a small broom closet in the hall, my shoes are there." Cassandra said while questionably pulling out her phone.

 After the phone call, Cassandra comes back into the room. "Let's head back to the dorm." Christy said shoving the mystery outfit into a bag. Once they arrived back at the school, classes were already over. Johnny waited in front of the dorm on the steps. Before Cassandra could greet him, Christy placed a hand on her lower back and pushed her up the stairs. "Johnny, Cassandra will be back shortly." She smiled as she led Cassandra to her dorm. "You can thank me later and have a great time~!" She said while shutting the door. Cassandra opened the bag to find Cassandra's business dress. It was a two piece lace bralette paired with a hip hugging skirt. Cassandra held the dress up to her face. She remembers wearing it to a dinner party and vowed never to wear it again. "Of all dresses, whyyyy Christy." Cassandra mumbled. Cassandra reluctantly put on the dress and put on the black matching heels. She put a coat over her body as she passed by the hall, hoping Ms. Peabody wouldn't reprimand her for wearing such a promiscuous outfit.

 She successfully makes her way out of the dorm and tells Johnny to follow her to her car. "Sorry for calling on a short notice." Cassandra said rummaging her pocket for her keys. "You act like I have better things to do around here." He said looking out the window. "Well I know you'll eventually need some time alone." She said pulling off her coat. Johnny turned to say something but was stopped by a devious sight. Cassandra noticed his staring. "No need to stare. I already know how bad this looks on me anyways.." Cassandra smirked. "I'm gonna be completely honest with you Cass. Don't you ever say some shit like that to me? Your man? You know what, I'd say you damn great in that outfit." He stated passionately making Cassandra bust into a laughing fit. "A lil too great.." He muttered. She smiled at him and reached over and grabbed his hand. "Thanks." She said. "Anyways, uh, where are we going?" Johnny asked. "I was hoping you'd have something in mind." Cassandra said. "After your home cooking, I don't think I've had better food. But I'm not stressing you to cook." He said placing his hand on her knee. "You know what..Let's head over to Gord's. I heard he's hosting a dinner party." Cassandra said making a sharp turn in the road. "Uh, I don't know. You know how they feel about me.." Johnny's hands retracted back into his lap out of tension. "You mean how Bif and Derby feel about you. The others only follow orders." Cassandra explained. "If they got to know you, I think they'd like you. After all, I like you." She gave him a cheesy smile.

 "Come on, what have I told you bout the cheesy mess, Cass." Johnny looked away but couldn't help but laugh at how adorable she was. They arrived at the Lindenberg's. "I thought you said we were heading to Gord's?" Johnny said while getting out. "We are. I needed to make a quick stop. Come on, this stop is for you." Cassandra said entering the house and carrying her heels in her hand. Johnny watched her hips sway back and forth as she walked down the never-ending hall. She stopped in a room farther than the rest. "This is my butler's room." She said. "He's usually here all the time but I sent him on vacation without father's permission." She giggled. "Oh you sneaky girl." Johnny teased. She went through his closet and pulled out a tuxedo that matched her dress, laying it on the bed. "Who are those for?" Johnny questioned. "You." Cassandra said dumbfounded. "Wait a minute." Johnny backed up. "Ugh, please Johnny. I called you to hang out, are you going to cooperate or no?" She said. Johnny grabbed the suit as Cassandra turned around and covered her eyes. "You can look now." Johnny grunted. Cassandra turned around and squealed. "You look so good!" She giggled in excitement as she went to tie his tie. "I mean..handsome." She smiled up at him. He could have just melted on the spot, she was so heartwarming and loving towards him. Her words carried zero lust unlike someone he used to know.

 As they left Cassandra's, they drove off towards Gord's. His house was fully lit as people conversated in the windows. Cassandra exited the car, "Now let's be on our best behavior." Cassandra teased as they walked up to the door. Gord answered the door upon watching them from the window. "Cassandra dear, my my what an outfit you have on. So..scandalous. Are you sure I invited the right girl?" He chuckled as he led Cassandra in by her hand. Johnny quickly grabbed Cassandra's free hand to avoid getting lost in the swarm. As Gord had shown them their table, Cassandra noticed something unfamiliar. Ted and Mandy were there with their parents. Given by their body language, this was not just a friendly gathering. "Wait here," Cassandra insisted leaving Johnny to a table with Pinky. She waltzed over to Ted and waved. "Fancy seeing you here," Cassandra smiled. Ted knew what she was up to, and had no idea how to handle this. He only wished Cassandra wouldn't say anything about it or that Alex wouldn't plan on showing up...
