Limited Edition (Roc Royal Love Story)

Chapter 3

::Cassidy's POV::

"Chresanto? " I asked.

"Cassidy," he said in a knowing tone. "That's what your name was."

I smiled and helped him with his bags. "So.. you're my new roomie?" I asked.

"I guess," he said and shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just happy that it's someone that I know."

"I mean I would say the sameeee but I was looking forward to someone else," I joked.

"Oh really?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yepp. But I GUESS you'll do," I said sarcastically.

"How wonderful to know,"he said with a fake smile. "So what are you here for?"

"Uh... school?" I said.

He smacked his teeth. "Nahh. Duhh. I mean, what's your .... talent?" He asked.

"Oh. I'm an artist," I said. "What are you?"

"You know, the clichè," he said, urging me to guess.

"Oh. Singer, dancer, rapper combo?" I asked.

He nodded. "Wanna go out for lunch?" He asked me.

"Hell yea. Im starving," I answered.

Just then some girl walked through our door. She seemed a little older than us, senior maybe? She had shoulder length jet black hair. She was about 5'2 and her face was loaded with makeup.

"Hi," she said and smiled at Chresanto. He flashed a dazzling smile at her.

She then looked at me as if I was a bug or sum shit. "Hi," I said, trying to be nice.

"Hmmm," she said and rolled her eyes. PAUSE. ........ .......

Da Fucccckkkkkkk!!! I will get hella ratchet in this bitch. Don't try me heifa .

I took a deep breath. Cass. Just chill.

"Well... I just came to let you know, that there will be a bomb fire held tonight," she said.

"Don't we have school tomorrow though?" I asked.

She didn't even look at me . "It ends at 9:30," she answered annoyed.

"Oh." I said.

"Anywho, bomb fire tonight, see ya there," she said and winked at Chresanto. He just smiled.

I rolled my eyes. "Well thanks for the 411," I said while pushing her out the door. "Too bad you must be leaving, hmm?" I said and shut the door.

"What a bitch," I said.

Chresanto stayed quiet for a bit, "She seems nice," he said.

I went up to him and slapped the back of his neck. "Nigga?! Clearly that bitch is pure evil."

"Oww!" He said and started rubbing the back of his neck. "What don't you like about her?" He asked.

"Ohhhh... I don't know. How about her being so rude to me," I said.

He smacked his teeth. "Mhmm. Let's just go to lunch."

"Im not really that hungry," I said and sat on the bed, crossing my arms.

"But you just sa--" He stopped mid sentence. He walked calmly towards me and I looked at him suspiciously. What the fuck was he doing. Just then, he got down on one knee.

"I just met you.." I said jokingly.

"Man you wish you could marry a swag big as this," he said and brushed off his shoulders.

I smiled.

"There's that beautiful smile," He said and smiled.

I blushed and looked down.

"Come on," he said and pulled me off the bed. He glided me towards the door.

"Woaahhh. Chresanto wait!" I said but we were already out the door.

**Later that night**

::Cassidy's POV::

"Okay how bout this one," I said and rolled my shoulders around, getting into character. "Is your name summer??" I asked. "Cuz you hot as heellllll."

Chresanto laughed. "Woooww. Nooooo! What about this one. Is your name wifi? Cuz I'm feeling a connection," he said.

We both erupted into laughter. We've been doing this since we got here. Everyone's been dancing and trying to be cool, and we've just been telling corny jokes.

I took an awkward sip of my Hawaiian punch as a slow song came on.

"You wanna da---" Chres started but was interrupted.

"Chresanto!" Someone called. We turned our heads and saw the girl from our room earlier. She walked over to us in the bikini.

"Oh hey Natalie," Chres said and smiled. Damn his kindness.

She continued her conversation with him without acknowledging my presence. I gazed into the distance, trying to tune them out.

"Wanna dance?" She asked him.

He shook his head. "Uh..," he struggled to find an answer. He looked at me.

"Go ahead," I said as a half smile plastered across my face. I watched them make there way to the center of where everyone was dancing.

::Chresanto's POV::

I stared at Cassidy as Natalie pulled me away, but she just gazed off into the distance. What was wrong with her?

Natalie pulled me into the center of where everyone was dancing. She placed my hands on her waist and her own around my neck. Next, she pressed her body against mine.

"So you're from the states?" She asked and batted her eyes.

"Uh. Yea," I said trying to make eye contact with Cass. Maybe I should just go back. I came here with her after all.

"I am to. I'm from Cali. I moved here when I was in grade 9," she said and paused. Was she tryna be sexy? "You know .. we should hang out more, you're kinda cute."

I nodded and looked back to find Cass, but she wasn't there.
