Rumor Has It

Cassandra and Johnny rode throughout the night. There were some mishaps from her and even from Johnny. Seeing this side of Cassandra never fails to interest Johnny. Like she goes through a different persona just for him. Watching her peddle around in circles or shouting in success when she lands something correctly. "Hey, slow bloke." Cassandra quickly drove past Johnny and tapped his nose. "Come on, we've been out all night. Let's head back to the dorm." Cassandra had already began making her way back, before she had finished what she was saying. Before Johnny took off, Gary held the back wheel.

 "Energetic type, eh? Never seen her act that way before." Gary nudged Johnny. "Don't touch me, you loon." Johnny threatened. "It's almost like she's trying to distract you from something. Another guy behind the scenes perhaps? A hidden lifestyle? It's not normal seeing a girl who practically switches personalities for a guy." Gary said. "What do you know about normal?" Johnny smirked. "Get lost freak show." Johnny said peddling off to find Cassandra. Despite Johnny's point, Gary did seem to peak his interest. Why would Cassandra be doing all of this? The date, the hangout, the new bike? I mean, she hadn't even fully explained the whole swimming incident. Is that even all of it? He could always just ask but what if it comes out the wrong way. Then, what will she do? How will she feel? She changes mood fairly quick as it is and has become way more reckless than ever before. She could be just acting out of freedom, we are teens after all. But what if this is just for me? Johnny finds Cassandra waiting for him at the garage. "What took you so long, babe?" She smiled. 'Babe?' she's never called him out of his name before. Not saying he doesn't like it but this is unusual, even for her. Something's gotta be up.

 "Whoa there tiger." Bif laughed as he dodged a kick from Alex. "Quit flinching." Alex said as she landed another kick to his side followed up by a hook to the other. "My, my. Such powerful kicks." Alex's head turned towards the voice of Gord in the doorway. "It's much worse from this end." Bif joked as he stumbled back. "I told you kickboxing is a lot harder." Alex said flipping her hair back while panting. "You up next?" Alex turned towards Gord and pretending to fight the air. "I'll have to pass on this one. I'd rather not ruin my clothes." He joked. "Fair point. I'm done." Alex said hopping out of the ring and reaching for Bif's hoodie. "You don't mind that I wear this out?" Alex said as she had already began to fit in over her head. "N-no." Bif said as he blushed watching the small brunette fit into his clothes. 

"Perfect size.." Alex said. "Perfect size. It's practically to your knees, Lindenberg." Gord jokes. "Like I said, it's the perfect size." She stuck out her tongue. "Let's go ahead and head back before my sister blows a gasket." Alex chuckled. Bif hops onto her bike as Alex wraps her arms around what she could of his waist. Before he takes off, he feels Alex relax and lean her head against his back. He's never had someone warm up to him to this quickly. The ride back to the campus was silent besides the feeling of Alex adjusting herself on his back. Bif stopped in front of the dorm. "Thank you!" Alex said hopping off the bike. "Did you enjoy it?" Bif questioned. "Yeah, had fun. We should do that again." Alex smiled hopping up the stairs. Bif watched as she danced up the stairs until he lost sight of her. A rich girl like her, not afraid to get her hands dirty? She's just as reckless as she can be. Everything his father told him to avoid in a girl. Yet she's already reeled him in. "Hey bloke, quit standing at the foot of me window, ya creep." Alex said before shutting the window and laughing.

 The next morning Johnny woke Alex up. "Alex, Alex. Wake up." He shook her. "What?" Alex groaned. "Shut it Alex. Your sister is still sleep. Come on outside." Johnny said making his way to the door. "What time is it?" Alex asked her self. '3:40 in the bloody morning but it's a school night.' Alex shook her head as she threw on a pair of biker shorts and Bif's hoodie. Johnny hurriedly pulled her outside. "Shite, it's cold." Alex said under her breath. "Should've dressed warmer then. It is winter after all." Johnny mentioned. "Well, I didn't know I was going somewhere on a school night this early." Alex sneered. "Oh quiet, you're just cranky." Johnny beckoned. "I wouldn't be if I knew where I was going?" Alex pointed out. "To the hangout, happy?" Johnny said. "Not quite." Alex said as Johnny opened the gate.
