Chapter One

-Chapter One-

Narrator's POV

"Cassie, honey, wake up. Time to get ready for school." Mrs. Olivia Thomson - Cassie's mother - said. Cassie's mother tapped her on her shoulders for her to wake up.

Mrs. Thomson didn't able to wake the fourteen years old-snoring Cassie but suddenly an idea pops out of her brain for her to wake up Cassie.

Mrs. Thomson lean in Cassie's ear. "Cassie, wake up. Ethan is waiting you downstairs." She said in singing way. Then suddenly, Cassie wake up and search for signs of a fifteen years old boy named Ethan in her room. She roam her eyes around. She pouted her lips when she saw nothing but her mother sitting next to her in her bed and smiling at her.

"Where's Ethan, mom?" Cassie asked and scratching her head in process, making her - already messed up - hair became more messy.

"He's waiting you downstairs." With what Mrs. Thomson said, Cassie hurriedly run downstairs.

Standing in the living area is a tall boy with deep shade of blue eyes, and soft brown hair.

"Ethan!" Cassie exclaimed running towards her best friend. Ethan was already dressed up for school. He just need to wait for Cassie now. Cassie rush towards Ethan and in the act of giving Ethan a bear hug. But Cassie was stopped when Ethan points his index fingers on Cassie's forehead.

"What's wrong, Ethan?. Don't want a bear hug?" She asked. Ethan shook his head. "Cassie, go get bath first. You stink." Ethan said.

Cassie pouted his lips and crossed her arms over her chest. "Meanie." Cassie said. Swaying her body left and right. "Meanie" Ethan said mimicking Cassie's voice.

"Mrs. Thomson?" Ethan yelled through the living room. "Yes, Ethan?" Mrs. Thomson said while walking downstairs.

"Uhm. I didn't able to eat breakfast because i promised to this stinking girl in front of me that we'll go to school together. Can i eat breakfast here instead?" Ethan said holding in the strap of his bag. "Of course. Here, eat anything you want while waiting for Cassie" Mrs. Thomson said smiling at Ethan and gesturing him to seat in the chair.

"Thanks Mrs. Thomson" Ethan said and started to walk and sat on the chair.

"Go take a bath now, Honey. You don't want to be late." Mrs. Thomson said.

"In a minute?" Cassie said and in the act of sitting right beside Ethan.

"No. Go now. Schootch!" Mrs. Thomson said and Cassie can't do anything but to obey her mother.

She runs towards their bathroom and quickly enters inside. She takes a bath, brush her teeth two times. She wear her uniform and comb her long blond hair.

She lean in front of the mirror and twinkled her blue eyes-which is a lighter shade of blue than Ethan's, repeatedly.

"Good morning, princess Cassie. How's your sleep?" Cassie said mimicking a voice of a Knight. She smiled and pretend that she's blushing. "Its good." She said holding in her uniform's skirt like a princess.

"So, How's vacation, Ethan?" Mrs. Thomson asked to Ethan sitting in front of her on the table. Ethan scoops a spoonful of cereal and put it in his mouth. Mrs. Thomson chuckled at what this fifteen years old boy did. "Take it slow, Ethan." She said to Ethan.

Ethan try to swallow the food in his mouth before answering Mrs. Thomson. "It was nice." Ethan said as he scoops a spoonful of cereal in his bowl again.

"Nice?" Mrs. Thomson said as she tear a piece of bread. "Uhm. Actually, no." Ethan said as he puts his spoon down beside his bowl of cereals. At what Ethan said, Mrs. Thomson's eye brows knitted in confusion. "Why Ethan?. Is there any problem?" She asked.
