Chapter 4

You got to your home and parked your motorcycle in front of the garage. As you look back you can't help but laugh. Cassandra looks almost terrified as she quickly takes off the helmet and leaps off the bike.

"Are you insane we could've died, I could be dead right now!" Now your roaring with laughter. "I'm sorry, but I did tell you I like it fast." She punches you on the arm lightly as you step onto the drive way.

"Hey I give you a ride to my house and this is how you repay me?" She smiles and follows you as you walk to the front door. "Since my aunt isn't here it will be pretty quiet." You pull the house key from your pocket and unlock the door.

As Cassandra follows you in she observes everything. "Your house is cute and cozy looking, so where's your room?" "Thank you and it's the only room up stairs." You climb the steps and she follows looking at the walls covered pictures of your family.

"Do your parents live here too?" You feel that weight in your chest again and you must have made a face, because she stops to stare at you. "What happened to your parents?" You stop and stare at her for a few seconds before answering, "Nothing they just live somewhere else."

She steps up next to you and hugs you. You hold her back and take her hand when she steps back. "C'mon lets go study and see your room." She pulls you towards your bedroom door and you feel grateful that she didn't push the subject any further.

You open your door and Cassandra gasped almost dramatically. "Your room is freaking awesome!" You smile and she smiles back. Your room wall is filled with posters of 80's rock bands mostly Joan Jett. You also have your guitar, John, sitting in the corner and a pinball machine on the right wall. Your bed, which is built into the wall floats over the floor.

Cassandra jumps on you bed and flops her backpack onto it. She sure knows how to make herself at home. "So you like my room?" "I love it, let me live with you!" Your heart jumps and you have to clear your throat. "Sure, but you have to pay rent and stay in the basement." She pouts and you laugh.

"Come on let's get working on algebra since we have 5th hour together." She pulls out her book and you two begin on your homework. She seemed to know every answer since she helped you with all of it. That and she assumed that the blank look you had was because of the work, but you couldn't stop thinking about her.

"Are you okay, you haven't been paying attention very well." You stutter to find an answer. "Well I-I just have a lot on my mind today." "Like what?" "Uhhh..." Crap think of something quick! "It's just I'm happy to have met you." She gives you a bright smile.

"You're so sweet I'm glad I met you too." Mental pat on the back for the best words that ever came out of your mouth. You were so happy you didn't know that she leaned close until her lips touched your cheek and your heart stopped.

She pulls back and gets up. "I need to get home for dinner, how about I come over again tomorrow." You nod rapidly and she smiles. "Cool." With that she leaves your room and leaves you breathless. Wow that was awesome! You smile and fall back on your bed.
