Sink or Swim

Chapter 5: Charleston

"I think I just found the solution to our money problem." John B pointed at a guy who looked to be in his 20's who was decked head to toe in jewelry and designer clothes.

"Holy shit," Cassidy felt her jaw drop ever so slightly, but she quickly closed it again.

"Yeah we found someone great but how are we going to actually get the money?" Sarah pointed out.

Cassidy took off her top revealing the top of her bikini, she pushed it up slightly so her cleavage was more exposed. She let her hair down from her bun and pulled her jean shorts up. Immediately she felt self conscious, but she would do what she needed for the money.

The girl strutted in the direction of the man and bumped into him, she apologized profusely while bending down trying to stick her butt out as much as she could and show off her breasts.

She caught sight of the wallet and slipped it into her pocket. She stood up and handed all of the items to the man who hadn't moved once since she bumped into him. As she began to walk away she felt someone grab her. She turned around and saw the man, "U-uh I was uh wondering can I have your number?" The man asked with a light blush flushed onto his cheeks.

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm a lesbian." Cassidy responded flatly, she began walking away again until he grabbed her arm, again.

"I can fix you, I promise I'll change you." Cassidy gaped at the man.

Was he serious? He couldn't be. Of course she wasn't actually a lesbian but the guy had to be pretty fucking dumb to think he could change someone's sexuality. She laughed it off nervously and said goodbye to the strange man while backing up swiftly.

She started running when she noticed he was following her, "John B! Catch, go get the gas, meet you by the boat in 20?" Cassidy shouted to the boy throwing the wallet through the air before breaking into a full sprint.

Unaware of where she should go she just started running straight down the main road. She saw a truck with no turn signal on so she took it as a sign to run across the street but the truck suddenly lurched to the right, almost hitting her.

This gave her an extra minute or so to get away from the man, she took to left turns and one right one before once again almost getting hit by the same truck from before, "Watch where you are driving dickhead," she shouted after the truck before continuing to run.

After five minutes Cassidy thought it would be safe to stop and grab a quick snack before starting to run again.

She bought a hotdog from a gas station then found a bike and hopped on.

As she looked behind her she saw the man climbing into the cart that was connected to the back of the bike.

The girl let out a loud yelp before stopping the bike all together, almost hitting a group of people who looked her age.

She apologized but then she felt an arm on her and she shrieked.

"Get off of me you perv!" The man tugged at the tie of her swimsuit, but suddenly he stopped. She looked around confused until she saw a brown skinned boy with his fist up.

"I don't know how i can repay you thank you so much uh.." She paused, realizing she didn't know who he was.

"Pope," He finished for her, "And you can repay us, by letting us ride with you to get away from a psycho chasing us." Pope pointed at two others, one a blonde haired boy, and the other a curly haired girl.

"Of course yeah uh hop on." She ushered them into the cart and let the girl stand on the kickstands of the bike.

"I'm Cassidy by the way, you can call me Cass though." The brunette said.
