12. the first date.

"he's taking me out somewhere, i don't know. and we'll probably eat something once or twice because he wants to occupy me the entire day. but i have no idea where we're going, so."

cassie was talking with vanessa by the cafeteria, telling her about how matt had asked her out and what he had told her after. it's been a week since that, and matt and cassie had already finished the season of sense8, and she had gotten another letter in her chai latte. the letter k.

"you don't know where he's taking you? keep your phone on you in case he's a serial killer." vanessa joked and took a bite from her apple.

"believe me, i will." cassie laughed and looked up when alex joined them.

"what are you guys talking about?" she asked as she placed herself on the chair.

"matt and cassie." vanessa answered and cracked a wide smile.

"but you're not getting involved, so..." cassie trailed off, glancing at alex with a blink.

"i really never should've said that." alex sighed and folded her arms together. "can you at least tell me what you're doing?"

"i can't actually. ask your brother."

"i hate this." she muttered with a slight pout.

"i don't. i love this." vanessa smiled and looked at them.

"of course you do. i'll see you both later." cassie grabbed her things before standing up and returning to her room.

the next day at noon, cassie was sitting on her bed with the sheet up her chest and drawing when matt knocked and stepped inside.

as she looked up at him, she eyed him with a smile and locked her eyes on the little basket he held.

"hey." matt smiled and carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, his back facing her legs.

"hey." she laughed and put down her pen. "judging by the fact that you're wearing a jacket and holding a basket, i assume we're going out now?"

"unless you haven't changed your mind." he shrugged and looked back at her. "if you have, i'm gonna' cry." he added jokingly.

"don't worry, i haven't." she laughed and placed her things on the bedside table. "i just have to change my clothes."

cassie stood up from the bed and opened her closet. she was currently wearing an oversized shirt over her underwear, so matt looked away and scratched the back of his neck.

"where's alex?"

"library." she answered and pulled out a pair of wine red jeans and a black top.

matt nodded and watched as she locked herself in the bathroom to change. when finished dressing on, cassie brushed her hair and lightly put a little make up on.

she joined him again with folded arms and puckered with her lips a bit. he stood up and grabbed the basket again, moving towards the door.

"you ready?" he asked and opened the door.

"yes, but in case you're a serial killer, i've got pepper spray." she pointed out, walking out of the room.

"shit, am i busted?" he inhaled through gritted teeth and cocked his head to the side. "but don't worry, serial killers only go for hot chicks."

"hey!" she laughed and punched his arm, causing him to caress the spot with his free hand.

"ouch, the boxing is really making an impact." he remarked and exited the whole building.
