Second time's a charm. or not.

Chapter 2

*Cassie*

slamming the door closed behind me, I sunk to the floor sobbing like a maniac. someone was... coughing? Looking up I noticed just where I was, a full senior social studies class.

f*ck me.

well, looks like I'm skrewed. After the initial shock, I noticed how every single one of them was now whispering along with the totally unsubtle glances towards me. Kill me now. Shaking, I got up, took one last look and the boy that coughed and sprinted again. pitty and humour clear as day in his eyes.

slowing down from the stitch in my side I found the nearest bathroom and stumbled in there. I am never running again.  ever.

Leaning against the closed door, I checked it was all clear. thank god, everyone was in class now. without looking I went to a corner and sat there, for some reason I felt entirely numb. maybe it was shock, maybe I was just going crazy. closing my eyes, I tilted my head back for a minute and when I opened them there was a strange thing just above my head,  and then it clicked.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

pushing myself away from the wall without taking my eyes of the black monstrosity I jumped up, totally under estimating how close the sink was till it hit me. Literally. I couldn't help but think how this day just keeps getting worse. shiny black dots confirmed that little thought.

****

Would You please stop yelling!!!  couldn't whoever that was see I'm sleeping!

Opening my mouth to tell them where they could stick their yelling, My head started really pounding, what the hell? I can't be hungover can I? I don't even remember drinking. Actaully, I can't remember much at all. Opening my eyes this time, Catlin McGarthy's face etched in worry was above me, looking around, I was in the bathrooms? what? why? and like it happens in all those books and movies, everything came flooding back to me. Jace... and his tongue down Catlin's throat. This Catlin. forgetting about the spider, I just wanted to get out of here, jumping up as quickly as I could, feeling the tears spring back, I forgot about the sink. Again.

Shit.

*Jace*

-Dude, Cassie's in the nurses office, knocked herself out apparently. typical.  

~Toby

Shaking my head I wasn't all that suprised, Little Cassie always seems to attract injuries. 

- Catlin said she did it twice and is still out of it, I can't get out of class, do you think you could go and check on her?

~Toby

I was out of my chair before even being told to go see her, walking out of class attracting the teachers attention I gave a look that meant I didn't give a stuff what she said, I was going. Thinking about Cass the whole way to the nurses office, I couldn't help but imagine the worst case scenario. standing with my hand on the door handle, I wasn't sure if I should go in. would she be up? what if she was still mad at me from this morning? I wonder what she was thinking when she stormed off.

Just stop sacking it dude and go in, my little self pep talk. so what if she was still mad, I wouldn't have to worry if she was still out of it. walking in, my eyes landed on the petite unconscious girl. studying her face I could see two fairly red lumps that have formed nicely on top of her head, but her eyes... lashes clumped together and the red puffyness around them, was she crying? probably from the first bump. that must've hurt like a bitch. Then I finally realised the other person in the room, Catlin sat in one of the chairs opposite the bed, I politely smiled at her, remembering how she just jumped me earlier on in the day after I had finished talking to Brad, she really came out of nowhere and suddenly we were kissing. I couldn't help but kiss her back, I mean, she was hot. Can't blame me.

Just when I'm sure would've been a repeat of what happened ealier, Cassie started stirring, pulling away from Cat, I rushed to her bedside, brushing the hair from her face and behind her ear, she open her eyes fluttering them as they adjusted to the light, without thinking I leaned over and brushed my lips on her forehead,  looking back at her face she was genuinely smiling at me, and then it was like a flip was switched and she glared at me, maybe she was still angry about this morning...

"Can you just piss off now?" looking down and nodding I walked out, Catlin quickly pulled on my hand before I got out and pulled my face to hers. wtf? I didn't mind before but now Cas was up, I pulled back immediately and gave a stern look to Catlin before walking out. God, its not like we were going out. It was physical attraction and that was it.

*Cassie*

Turning towards the wall, I pretended to be asleep. Although my head was as sore as a bitch.  I found Catlin's pathetic attempts at trying to start a conversation with me slightly amusing. Mainly because I didn't give a rats ass about the Kardashians or Kims baby. When I finally heard her leave and the door close behind her I broke down once again. I guess leaving won't be entirely bad... maybe even good for me. 1 more week. thats all I needed to hold on for.
