"Cassie, where have you been?" I heard Mom call out as I tried to sneak back into my house.
"Ugh, I went to put my penny board in the garage."
"For 4 hours?"
I paused and tried thinking of something to get her off my back.
"Your 7 year old sister was left here by herself because you decided to go off and party. What if someone snuck in here and kidnapped her?" My mom continued.
"I don't feel like fighting right now. Leave me alone!"
I ran upstairs and changed into a pair of black shorts and a dark blue tank top. I opened my laptop and logged onto Twitter. I came across this guy named Grayson who goes to my school. He is super popular at my school and all the girls to absolutely crazy over him which gets on my nerves so much because he seems like a stuck up douche. But anyways, Grayson was tweeting shirtless pics of himself.
"He gets on my nerves so much" I thought to myself. Even though I thought he was a douche is still can't say that he isn't hot because he is one of the hottest guys at my school. I just don't like to admit it.
I logged off of Twitter and got into bed. I tried to sleep but I couldn't. All I could think about was Grayson. I already have a boyfriend, Miles, but things aren't going good with him. He loves me and I know that, but I just don't think I'm in love with him anymore. The love kinda died after a while. I think I'm going to end it with him tomorrow when we go to Starbucks before school starts. I hope it goes well.
***///The Next Day///***
I woke up and brushed my teeth while putting on some music. I didn't feel like doing anything with my hair so I just put it into a high ponytail. I went downstairs and made a couple chocolate chip pancakes. Before I ate, I slipped on some high waisted shorts, a white crop top, and some vans. Just as I finished my pancakes I heard Miles beeping his car outside my house. I grabbed my books and ran outside.
Miles and I stopped at Starbucks and sat down with our drinks.
We talked for a while until I gained the confidence to tell him we need to break up. "We need to talk, Miles." I said staring into his eyes.
"Yeah, babe."
"I think we should break up. I just don't feel anything with you anymore. I'm sorry, Miles, I really am."
He started to tear up and ended up running to the bathroom. I waited for him for about 2 minutes. He finally ended up coming out and all he did was hug me. He whispered "I understand." In my ear.
I felt super bad because Miles is such a good guy and he deserves a great girl, it's just that girl isn't me.
Afterwards we decided to head to school. The car ride there was quite awkward, but I didn't feel like talking and I knew he didn't either.
When I got to school I went to my locker to put away my books. Grayson's locker is across the hall from mine and I glanced right at him. He was with his gigantic group of friends I wanna say there were like 12 of them. Mostly jocks and cheerleaders that the boys are always around. I saw Grayson smile at me and my heart started to beat so fast. As I was closing my locker one of his friends, Danny I think, walked up to me.
"What do you want?" I quickly asked rolling my eyes. I could see Grayson's "group" staring at me in the corner of my eye.
"Look I heard you broke up with that Miles guy so I was wondering if you could maybe go on a date with me?"
In that moment I realized that since the news go out that we had broken up a lot of guys at my school have been staring at me a lot more than usual.
"No thanks, I don't date fuckboys." I turned around and could here his friends laughing at Danny. All I did was smile and walk to my homeroom class.
I sat down in the back of class and checked my messages since class hadn't started yet. I got a text from this random guy so I was focusing on trying to see how he got my number. I didn't even realize Grayson sat right beside me. He looked at me and smirked.
"Who ya texting?" I just ignored him. I guess he wanted me to talk to him so he grabbed my phone. "Really? Give it back! Now!" He ran to the front of class and said "You want it? Come and get it!" He said laughing. Ugh his laugh is so cute but I can't let him know that.
Nobody else was in class. Just us two. So we ran around class until I finally got my phone. That was when the bell rang and everyone poured into the classroom.
Grayson and I sat down. I tried to look annoyed at him but it was hard because I swear he the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on.
All through class I could see Grayson staring at me in the corner of my eye. I was freaking out the whole time. After class I didn't feel like going to any more classes so I left. My school is really chill so it's not that hard to just sneak out. I walked home and Grayson couldn't leave my mind. I opened the door and cooked myself one of those microwaveable pizzas. I went upstairs to my rooms to eat and watch tv. That's when I got a text.
I grabbed my phone and looked at the message.
Grayson: So you ditched?
Me: yeah. I shouldn't matter to you! And how do you have my number? And why is your name saved on my phone?
Grayson: I might've put my number in your phone this morning in first period.
Me: ugh bye Grayson
I was glad that he did that. I couldn't help to smile the ready of the day... Until I heard the front door open.
I turned off the tv and my light so mom wouldn't know I ditched school. I heard foot step go up the stairs. I knew she was coming to my room so I hid in the closet.
"Cassie, I know you are in here. The school called said you must of left because they don't know where you are. Plus I seen that you left a pizza box on the counter. Just come out already."
I knew she was going to find me so I just opened the big closet door.
"Ugh I'm right here." I said expecting to get a long lecture about why I need to stay in school but all she did was roll her eyes and walk out.
"That's it you're getting a babysitter." She said as she closed my door. Oh no.
