chapter 12: midsummers 1

It's Midsummers.

I had already woken up this morning at Sarah's house. I headed back home to get ready, promising Sarah I'd meet her there.

The Cameron's are going to have a special entrance at the party.

I wonder if Rafe is going to be there.

Most likely, he will be.

JJ and Pope were going to be joining, as servers. Pope with Heyward and JJ going around catering. At least I'll have my friends there.

I get home and head upstairs. I still have time before I have to prep for the event, I decide to chill in my room for a bit.

I hear a knock on my door.

"Come in." I state, assuming it's Kiara.

I was a little nervous to talk to Kie. She's still a little upset over the whole Sarah thing. Which still, I don't get.

"Hey.. when did you get back?"

"Just uh- maybe 30 minutes ago? What's up?"

A moment of silence proceeds.

"Were you at Rafe's last night?"

I pause, staring at her.

"Yeah.. but I uh- I wasn't there for Rafe."

"Oh great. So you were there for Sarah? Wow."

"Kie look, I was friends with her last summer! I don't know what's making you act like this now but I'm seriously over it okay?"

"Yeah well, whatever."

She lifts herself from standing against my doorway and starts to fidget with her fingers.

"Did you see Rafe last night?" She says with a smirk on her face.

Even though my sister and I fight, we don't let it take over our relationship. She's upset at me for one thing, but that doesn't stop us from sharing other info in our lives.

"Yeah. But I wasn't too happy about it. So you know how he got pissed on the boat?"

She nods.

"Well that night at Sarah's, he came home and kissed me. Obviously I pushed away. He was like, super coked out. He kept saying stuff about JJ, and basically getting mad at me for not being into it."

"He's a little bitch."

"Right? Like sorry I don't wanna make out with you after you ghosted me a whole year. And I still have to see him at Midsummers." I scoff.

"Yeah. But wait, why was he talking about JJ? Is he jealous?"

"Jealous of what.. we just had a little fling last summer. I didn't think it was obvious-"

"Dude, it was obvious. He probably still thinks you're hooking up with him."

"Yeah but I told him nothing is going on with JJ. Plus, he has no right to be jealous. He stopped talking to me for a whole year. He can't just dictate who I can and can't talk to."

Later, after having that conversation with Kiara, I felt better. The whole Sarah thing had me a little shaken up, but other than that, we're good.

After chilling for a while, it's time to get ready. I hop in the shower, slip on my dress and put on my makeup. I did my hair last. I left my long curls out in a half up half down style.

"Cassie! Kie! Let's go!" My mom cries out, waiting for us by the door.

Me and Kie rush downstairs, I can see the disappointment in her face. Kie has never liked Midsummers. But we were both excited to see the Pogues there.
