A LIFE THATS GOOD

Chapter 1

My name is Cassie and I live in Los Angeles. I’m almost done with senior year and my dream university is Julliard it’s a school for arts and performance. As I walk to school I stop by my best friends house so we can walk together. As I walk up the porch I can hear some screaming or yelling, I hesitate to knock and then decide to.
“Hello Mrs. M is Sam still here? “ I ask
“ Hi Cassie, yeah she’s  in her room. She can’t  decide what she wants to wear even though she’s  just going to school. “ she answered with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
“ I’ll  just go up then and see what I can do to help “ I tried to keep my laugh under control. I walk up the stairs and I can hear Sam throwing things on the floor and yelling. I’m  so focused on what I’m hearing that I don’t even notice that I bumped into Sam’s older brother, Chase and then I realized that his strong arms are holding me up right and I immediately stand right on my feet still feeling a little wobbly with his touch still lingering on my skin.
“ I’m  so sorry Cassie are you alright? “ he asked with a massive smile. I stutter a little before I realize he’s  waiting on my answer.
“ I’m  fine thank you for helping me there before I fell face first on the floor “I said trying to sound confident while I actually have sweaty palms.
“It’s all good It was my fault. I’m in a hurry to get to work it’s  been three years since high school and I still over sleep. “ he said with a laugh. He’s  so cute he has dark brown hair with green eyes and his tall with a very muscular body, and when he smiles you can see his perfect white teeth that seem like they belong in a toothpaste advert.
“It happens to the best of us. Anyway I have to go check up on Sam, things don’t  sound so good in there. “ I said laughing a little.
“She can not decide what to wear, I don’t  get it she’s  just going to school. “he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. I blush a little and then decide to give him a sarcastic answer back.
It’s  the last semester and we want attractive prom dates. Not everyone can pull off a pair of kakis and still look good in them. “ I said laughing and showing to Chase since he’s  wearing a pair of kakis, but what Chase says next probably kept me quite for the whole day.

“You can always ask me to be your date, I’m  pretty sure that I’m  the hottest thing you’ve  ever seen. “ he said laughing if only he knew how real it was for me. I tried to get pass him but I tripped again and luckily I balanced myself I forced myself not to look at Chase again and I just kept on walking towards Sam’s  room.

“knock knock It’s Cassie, can I come in? “I asked knowing she will never refuse me, and then I heard the door open.

“Cassie I’m  in a mid life crisis, I have no idea what to wear and you know we need to look great for the last semester. “she said looking like she’s  going to throw up.

“Sam you need to calm down let me see if I can help you pick something out. What about a charcoal pencil skirt with a black spaghetti strap top and a long sleeve black and red block top and  for shoes you can wear your black doc martins “. I said with my thinking face so Sam can see that I’m  serious.

“ Come on Cas you know that’s more your style. You always choose to keep one part of your body open and the other part closed. So if your top is open your legs are closed and if your legs are open then your top is closed. “ She said with a serious look on her face.

“ A insult so early in the morning and only when I’m trying to help. “I said sounding a little bit dramatic.

“I’m  sorry I didn’t  even realize that I was insulting you. “ she said looking apologetic

“its all good I was only kidding. What about a skinny blue jeans and a neon pink top with your grey ankle boots”. I said trying to be helpful again.

“ Now that’s  more like it girl you coming here was a blessing in disguise. “she said laughing. While I waited for her to finish up I couldn’t  shake my conversation with Chase. I know that he was joking, but I wish he was serious, I’ve  had a crush on him since I was old enough to know what love is and he’s  the reason why I never had a boyfriend. Pinching myself out of my day dream, Samantha is finished and we head out to school.
