Yours Truly

Chapter 1

I remember when my dad and I used to jog every morning. My mom's magical hands every time she's cooking. Those simple things in life that I wish it will come back someday.

"Cassy! Come down already." Jesus Christ, Monty's voice is freaking loud. I'm listening to my phone's songs in a max volume, I never thought that Monty's voice is louder than my phone.

I went downstairs to eat breakfast with her. Her parents are away because of their business. "So what's your plan?" I have no idea what plan Monty is talking about.

"What plan?" Monty gave me this disappointing look when I asked her that. "C'mon, Cassy. It's been how many years and you aren't hanging out with me."

"Not hanging out with you?" I got so confused, why would she say that? I've been with her all the time. "Every time I want to go out with you, you always say that you're busy. Why is that?"

I hate going out of the house. I mean, what will I do outside if there's an internet connection inside the house, right? "Monty, you do know that I hate going out," that's my only valid reason.

We finished our breakfast, Monty cleaned the dishes and I went to the living room to watch cartoons. I know I'm seventeen, believe me, cartoons is still cool.

"Cassy, please come with me." Oh my Monty, can we just stay in this lovely house where food is everywhere? "Where are we going?"

"Are you saying yes?" Okay, I know I am the one who is asking the question here. "It depends, Monty. You know I hate seeing a lot of people." She squealed so loud. My poor ears... "I'll tell you later. Go dress up."

I seriously have no idea about Monty's plan. She told me to dress up so I went inside my room. Gosh, what will I wear? I hope Monty's not taking me to a party or else I will kill her.

I unfolded my black jeans, my plain white shirt, and my socks. Took a quick bath and prepared things up. "Cassy! C'mon down."

And there goes the loud speakers. "I'm coming," I went downstairs to see Monty wearing a plain pink shirt and a blue jeans.

"So, can you tell me where we're going?" Basingstoke is kinda big though. "Well, how about we go to the park?" Oh Monty, you never change.

We've arrived at the park. I have no idea Monty chose the park instead of the mall although she shops all the time. We bought a big cone of ice cream, one for me, and one for Monty.

She held my hand then she walked so fast because she saw a mini shoe store. I can't believe that this park has a store. While walking fast, I bumped to this guy.

Oh my gosh, my ice cream stained his shirt. Monty let go of my hand then headed to the store, now it's just me and the guy. " I am so sorry.I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry," that's why I hate going out...

I'm so nervous, this guy seemed so disappointed. Of course, who wouldn't be disappointed when your shirt got stained by an ice cream? I didn't realize that I was crying while apologizing to this guy.

" It's okay. Hey, don't cry. It was an accident. Stop crying please," he gave me this reassuring smile, while handing me his handkerchief.

" I'm really sorry," I don't know why I keep saying sorry, but I really am sorry. " It's no big deal. Anyway, I'm James."

" I'm Cassidy." We shook hands and smiled at each other. " Nice meeting you, Cassidy." I smiled at him. He's a nice guy. I almost forgot Monty, oh my!

" Nice meeting you also, James. I need to go and find my friend. I'm sorry about what happened. See you around," I smiled at him and then left.

Where is Monty?! I will kill her, damn... That was so embarrassing. " Cassy!" Oh great, Monty bought a new pair of shoes again.

" Look! New shoes, finally," she's a shoe-aholic girl. " Good for you," I'm still disappointed at her for leaving me. " Are you okay, Cassy?"

If you only knew what had happened a while ago, Monty. " Yeah, I'm okay. Can we just go home already? I feel ill."

We arrived at our house again, finally! I feel so tired after what had happened lately.

He's really a nice guy. Why am I feeling like this? Oh no, Cassy... You do like that guy, don't you?

" Are you alright, Cassy?" I was surprised by Monty, her loud voice always surprise me. I assured her that I'm okay, nothing to worry about me.

" Anyway, who's that guy a while ago? He's kinda cute." I don't know why, but when she said that he was cute, I smiled.

" You know, I want to kill you a while ago because of that guy." Monty was shocked, she thought that I will literally kill her.

" I stained his shirt because of you, Monty. You held my hand then walked so fast and boom! My ice cream fell on his shirt and I cried."

Monty laughed so hard because she couldn't believe that I cried in front of a stranger. " What the fuck, Cassy?" I know right!

" Then he gave me his handkerchief and we exchanged names. He's James." Monty squealed again, what else? " Oh my gosh, Cassy! He's so damn gorgeous. The way he smiled at you, it's so magnificent."

I don't know what to say, I just smiled at her. Well, she's right. He's cute and gorgeous. Oh, Cassy...
