Crossing Each Other's Paths - CASSANDRA X PICO FANFIC

Visiting an Old Friend

Pico's POV:

IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL, 8:15AM

Cassandra is supposed to meet me outside the gate, but I yet to see her. It's been awhile since Cassandra and I last spoke to each other. We didn't have any classes together for these past few years, so we pretty much drifted since then. Cassandra seemed depressed and just decided it was best we took a "break" from each other, as friends. She never explained why, but I had a few things in mind.

However, I was reminded of Cassandra the other day when Nene mentioned about her. Why? Turns out they recently broke up. The reason why they broke up? She never told me. She said it was personal, so I respected her boundaries.

Although, I did question it to myself from time to time, encouraging me to contact Cassandra again. I was surprised she accepted the offer to meet me at the gate. I thought she would of left me on read.

It's almost 8:20am, which is when I should walk to my first class. As I continue to wait, I decide to take out my phone to see if I missed any text messages. To my surprise, Cassandra's name popped up. The message was from a few minutes ago. I pressed the notification and put in my password to open our conversation. The text reads..

"heya im sick, mind coming over?"

"Sick?" I whisper to myself. I look at my screen for a bit as I think long and hard about this. Ditching school? For what? Cassandra? An old friend I haven't talked to for a long time? Pff..

I take a deep breath, then type to her back.

"You're sick? Rarely that ever happens.." Like I would know.

Before I could even put my phone back into my pocket, the screen of my phone would brighten up, meaning a notification popped up. I check and saw that it's from Cassandra again. How was she typing this fast? Usually it would take her hours due to her lazy-ass! I open up the notification to see..

"i know"

Gosh, what a response. I would look over to the bottom left of my screen, turns out she is still typing.

After a few minutes, she adds, "can you come over? please?"

What the fuck can I do? Sure we did agree to meet up, but not like this! She's sick she said! I don't want to catch what she has..

I begin to type, "Sorry Cass.." I pause to think of what else to type. But suddenly, the school bell rings.

"Shit.." I panic. I turn off my phone immediately, putting it in my pocket. My class is FAR, and we only have 4 minutes of passing time, so there is no time to waste. I start to speed walk to my first class.

Cassandra's POV:

4 MINUTES LATER...

CASSANDRA'S ROOM, 8:24AM

Fucking Pico left me on read! That dude really cares about being a goodie two shoes more than wanting to see his old pal? Geez, I tend to wonder why I considered him my "best friend". At least with the Goth Punks, we didn't give any SHITS about the school system. Geek-o on the other hand.. Fucking dork.

We were supposed to meet up at the gates in front of the school. But due to my stupid dad, now I can't drive, and NO WAY am I walking to school like Pico always does. That one time it happened, I almost got myself fucking killed!

I made the excuse that I was sick because in NO WAY would he accept it if I just told him the truth. I thought maybe he would be considerate to visit as I am "sick." But oh I guess not. He decides to just leave. I'm not giving up hope, though.
