Second time's a charm. or not.

Chapter 3

Jace.

"Hey man, Cassie alright?" Toby just had to ask didn't he.

"Yeah. She's fine." hopefully he'll let it drop.

"Did she manage to find you at break?" Take that as a no then. Hold on, what did he just say?

"She was looking for me?" Toby nodded, "Aww shit. Nah, I was with Cat out by the back field. she fully ambused me outta nowhere. Do you know what it was about?"

"She said she just needed to tell you something, thats weird, because Thats exactly where I told her you'd be. Oh well, whatever it was she'll probably tell you later." and with that he walked off towards his own bus.

Cassie wanted to tell me something? but what? hey! maybe it was about this morning when she was looking at me differently... but then why didn't she tell me in the nurses office? was it Cat? nah, she must just be PMSing or some shit. Girls. hmmm, maybe I could get her to tell me on Friday at her suprise party.

****************************************************************

When I got home I noticed a message on facebook from Cassie from this morning, "Omg, this one ♡Karina Persian -Slow motion♡"

I think I listened to that song about 20 times that night, it oddly gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. The rest of the week was just as weird, it felt...off. Cassie avoided me at every cost. Even walked into a pole in an attempt to prevent walking so close to me. although that was quite funny, I had no idea what her problem was and just figured it was still that time. By friday she was still not interested in acknowledging my excistance. Maybe I shouldn't go tonight... Who am I kidding, it was a party, and possibly the last time I'll see her before she leaves and I wanted to know what she wanted to say when she couldn't find me. and its also kinda...okay, extremely, hard to NOT be there considering where it is.

*Cassie*

This week was painful. I never knew how hard it would be to stay away from Jace, and the bruises I had on my hip and shoulder were all the proof I needed. but when ever I saw him with Catlin, Jessie, Zayne or any other person that was not a guy, it was even more painful than running into things. And I swear those bitches knew it. so maybe I was a wee bit jealous. I'm aloud to be. oh, actually, I'm not.. I wish I was though. for effs sake, NO. No Cassie,  you don't wish that. not anymore you know..

Just then, Sarah came running up to me, interupting my inner growling. "Cassie!! You're coming over to mine for a sleep over tonight okay? yup? good. but bring some hot outfits over too, I wanna have a fashion show. Like when were little, except with amazing clothes and dresses that fit perfectly." With that she was gone again. I really hadn't seen much of her all week. I guess it wasn't all her fault, I had been sort of avoiding the whole group entirely. I missed them... All. there I go again. NO CASSIE.

Stepping out of the car and giving my mum a quick bye and kiss on the cheek, I saw a mischievous glint in her eye, what was she upto? I was about to ask when she wound up the window and sped off shouting an order to 'let loose' and 'have a good time'.

trekking my way up to Sarahs room, lugging my stupid heavey bag. I think I took Sarahs outfit thing a few levels too far, packing nearly half of my closet. Shoes and makeup included.

"Are you done yet?!" I moaned at Sarah tugging on a loose strand of my poor hair.

"No! now if you would just sit still..."

"Ouch!!" I yelled at her as she stabbed a bobby pin a bit too forcefully into my hair or should I say head. followed by another. and a couple more for 'extra security' what ever she was on about.

"And done!" blowing on her mascara brush as if she had just successfully shot it like in those crappy cowboy movies.

Standing up and walking to the full length mirror I couldn't hold the gasp in as I saw some foreign creature reflected back to me. It was waaaay too much for an in home fashion show. Something was up. and I was going to find out.

***************************************************************************************

"Okay fine! I'll tell you! just please stop with the Chinese burn!" Releasing her now red arm I sat and waited ever so patiently... for about 20 seconds and went to go grab her arm again, she was taking too damn long. "OKAY! meandtobyorganisedasuprisefarewellpartyforyouandweweregoingthereonceifinishedwithyourmakeover! just please! no more burns!" staring at her with wide eyes I was trying to process what she had said. I was interrupted when a hand was waved crazily infront of my eyes.

"So...This was for a suprise party?" I said as I gestured to my reflection.

"Yes."

"And you thought you could do this and get me all the way there without me suspecting a thing?"

"ahhh, yes."

"Who all knew about this?"

"Everyone..."

"Everyone?"

"Yes."

Jace...

"And where is this said party?"

"Errrr, Jaces"

Of course it freaking is.
