Opposites distract

Chapter 1

Cassie's Pov.

I walked into my English class and sat next to Paige, she looked over and asked, "Why so happy?" I smiled and answered , "It's the last class of the day, the weekend is almost here, and I've had an amazing week, nothing can possibly upset me." She smiled, then nodded turning back around just as the teacher walked into the room saying, "Turn around pay attention first person to talk will be sent to CLC (controlled learning center) I'm not in any mood for nonsense today. Mrs. Smith took attendance and started the lesson, towards the end of the class she announced "Since your class is so small, you will each be paired up with one other student from another class. You and your partners names are on the door check them on your way out."

When the dismissal bell went off Paige and I stood up, and being two of the last people out I could see who I was paired with. I'm sure my face went ghost white because Paige was now looking at me with concern on her face. She started shaking my shoulders and saying,"Cas are you okay, you don't look so good, you feeling alright?" I shook my head no and pointed to who my partner would be...... Nick Marshal. Everyone else sees him as captain of the football team and an all around good guy. But to me he's an asshole with the brain capacity of a squirrel. He gets away with picking on me between classes and even if I did tell someone they wouldn't believe me, they see him as a sweet boy that would never hurt anyone. Bunch of bullshit if you ask me, if only people saw him for what he really is, the only person I've told about this is Paige so she now understands why I'm so uneasy about the whole situation.
Mrs. Smith had left after the bell to go look for something (I didn't care enough to know what it was), so as I was about to leave the classroom Nick blocked the doorway, leaned down so only I could hear and said, "If you mess this project up and we don't get at least a B, and I get benched for 3 games I'll make your life a living hell, understood?" I meekly shook my head yes, just as mrs. Smith came back, he stood back up smiled waved at her then walked away. I rolled my eyes and headed to my locker, after stopping there I went to catch my bus.

I was stopped short when Jessica aka the queen bee of the school (who also happens to be Nicks girlfriend) stopped right in front of me and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Where did you buy your clothes, Ugly R Us?" Her and her friends burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing ever, I was about to say something I would regret but sadly someone else beat me to it by saying, "Who did your makeup, a clown?" Jessica gasped looked around furiously then stormed off. I was extremely confused as to why someone would stand up for me, but all my suspicions were laid to rest when I saw it was the new kid Chance, I don't know much about him all I know is he's in my history and French class. I was going to thank him for sticking up for me but before I could get a word out he was gone and so was the bus. Great this day has gone from fantastic to horrible in less than twenty minutes. I tried calling my mom 3 times then just started walking home.

The walk was long but at least it was nice out. Once home I laid down on the couch, my mom got home about a half hour later and informed me that we were going to the block party in an hour and a half.
