Chapter One

“ Wake up Cass! Your late for school, Mum has offered to take us to school and shes already in the car waiting!”

I groaned. I checked my alarm clock on my bedside table and it read 8:45am. What? Last night I set the time to ring at 7:45am.

I ran downstairs, into the bathroom, took a 1-minute shower and brushed my teeth. I couldn’t make a real breakfast with a spoon and bowl so I took a spoon from the top drawer and took a box of cereal. I shoved the spoon into the box and put into my mouth. I opened the fridge to take a carton of milk. I opened the lid and drained down whatever could fit into my mouth. When I was about to open the cupboard to get some sugar out, I saw my sister standing at the doorway laughing just as if she’d the funniest picture ever!

Then I looked towards the kitchen window and it was PITCH black.

“ Very funny, you dog!” She pretended to wipe a tear from her eye and mouthed “ Classic .“

“ Ugh!” I stomped out of the kitchen and went upstairs to my bedroom. I slammed the door to my room shut.

 That senseless dog. How was I going to get to sleep now. I have school tomorrow morning.

I have school tomorrow morning and I can’t even get my eyes shut!

I took out my Toshiba Laptop from my drawer and logged on to my MSN. FIVE inboxes! WOW!

I clicked onto the link and the five inboxes were from Jayden.

I suppose you don’t know who Jayden is. Well, he and I had a little thing going on between us. We weren’t dating or anything but we just didn’t have the guts to tell each other our feelings. We were the people who took long walks together anytime we could.

Well, he has been sending love letters to me all summer. He finally told me that he loved me though I am still a wimp.

But I have to admit, he was pretty cute until, well, you’ll find out in the story,

I clicked on the first inbox and it read: Cass, I LOVE YOU. I can’t say it. I can’t say it straight out. How should I say this? You are my life. You are my love. And so on and so forth.

Everyone knows that if a guy was to say, I love you, he didn’t really mean it. But Jayden was different, until I found out that he is just as dumb and as lame as every other guy!

                          *********

I stepped into the school gate with my backpack hanging down from one shoulder. I fixed my goldish-brown hair back and I pulled my shirt at the right length. My coat was well-ironed and my stockings were just below my knees. I have to admit, I looked pretty good today.

I walked in casually to find everyone staring at me. I looked around for Rachel, my best friend, but then I remembered, ex-best friend. The thought of what she did made my eyes fill with tears. I ran towards the ladies restrooms and the tears were now rolling down my sensitive skin. I pushed the door open to find that the room went completely silent. I looked up from my wet hands and when I did that the BOYS burst out laughing. I was NOT in the ladies bathroom. Frm the corner of my eye I saw that jayden had joined in with the guys. Now that had made me cry even more! I ran out and into the door on the right. I hopped into the first cubicle and cried and cried and cried until the bell rang for the morning announcements. I waited for at least five minutes and peeked out of the door to check if the coast was clear.

I did not want people to see my puffy face and to see that I have been crying my eyes out. I opened out my backpack and took out a couple of tissues and my make-up.

After I had done whatever it is I did, I hurried down to the Great Hall. When I entered, I slowly looked around for an empty seat and tried to avoid everyone’s staring pupils. Just then, the boys cracked up laughing.

“Oh God, can’t these sad cases get over something so little!” I said to myself.

The principle nodded me to sit down as soon as my eyes reached hers. I happily agreed to do so and sat down at the far corner of the hall near the trophy cabinet.

“As you all know …” began the principle. “Today is the day that the teachers and myself give out awards to the most improves students in all aspects of education.’’ The crowd groaned but I had forgotten. “When the students receive their awards they will have to say a small speech on behalf of their gratitude. First up….Ms Mackintosh!”

She was my literacy teacher last year, and the year before that, and the year before that and… I don’t know.

‘Welcome back students. In my year ten class last year, I had a very ease time picking out the most improved student in literacy. The most improved student was…….”

I crossed my finger so tight do I do not get the award. My fingers had turned all red.

“Was…. Cassie Williams!”

I gasped. Me! Why me! Out of forty-seven students she picks me. Out of all years she picks last years. “Casey Williams, will you come up please”

I got up off my seat and walked slowly to the stage. I collected my trophy and stood behind the stool. I tapped the microphone twice and looked up nervously and found hundreds of cold eyes staring into my blue eyes.

“ I…I am very ummm…. Glad to accept this umm.. award today. Th…thank you.”

The crowd booed. A guy in the crowd with a familiar voice shouted,

“A pig could do better, you pig”

“THAT’S IT! Shouted Ms Mackintosh. “This is a very special Moment for Casey and she doesn’t need you bunch of ill-behaved people wrecking it!”

“She does’nt need us to ruin it!” shoted the same familiar voice. The crowd roared with laughter.

“That is enough JAYDEN SMITH! I will be speaking to your parents about this!”

Jayden, Jayden. After everything we have been through. After all those long walks. After all those love letters?

I burst into tears and ran as fast as I could towards the door. I dropped my bag in the middle of the hall. Just then Rachel’s voice beamed like a hundred light bulbs,

“Ha you deserve it. you selfish little twit!"

"Rachel...How..:

Now there were tears forming in my eyes!"
