Everything but love

Chapter 2

Once I have finished explaining to Casie my dull summer holiday story she started rambling on and on about her trip to Europe and how she had the most amazing time and there were hot guys everywhere she went. I kinda stopped listening to her about halfway through her speech to take notes but from the occasional nodding I gave her she assumed I was listening.

Being friends with one of the most oblivious girls in my grade has it's perks.

The teacher soon gets tired of trying to talk over us so he gives us free time until the end of the lesson. I turn to Casie who is saying something about how her missing the first 4 weeks of school was a serious life saver because her brain can't cope with the amount of sexual tension here or something. How good of her to not even consider the amount of assessment she has missed already.

*mental face palm moment*

"So who was the lucky guy today Cas?"

"Ohh- ah- ummmm.. no one Dallas is a jerk anyway all he wanted to do was get in my pants in the end but I told him to pull his head out of his ass and go find some other girl to get dirty with cus I wouldn't touch him even if it was the difference between life and death."

Processing her theory that made no sense at all seeing as she was making out with him I decide to let it go and change the subject.

"So my mum won't be back until Friday because she said that she will get home at 11 tonight but knowing her she will probably go to some bar and stay the night somewhere else and then she has all 24 hour shifts until Thursday."

Ok so your probably thinking whoa what hospital puts their staff on 24 hour shifts for multiple days in a row? Well when you live in a town as small as mine and with the amount of alcoholics we have making stupid decisions all the time they always need someone on standby. But hey what hospital hires an alcoholic to operate on other alcoholics?

"Oh sure! We haven't done that in ages! Well mostly because I have been away but sure!"

"Oh and we will probably buy pizza tonight because for once she left us money!"

"Cool can u drive me there? Dad took away my keys because I was 'abusing my right to my car and that it wasn't mine and it was a privilege' or some bull sugar like that" Casie tells me

"Wait so you walked to school today!?" That would be a major accomplishment for her seeing as the only exercise she does is walking to the fridge. Kidding oh my gosh kidding Casie is sooo athletic it makes me wonder how we r friends sometimes.

Here is the sports she is playing CURRENTLY. Key word currently:
Netball
Football (or soccer)
School running team
And swimming team.

I swear she is some sort of alien sometimes because when she isn't playing sport she is either at the gym or I'm encouraging her to eat more unhealthy. I know what a great friend I am.

"Of course not that would be 1 mile of walking no thank you. I got Luke to pick... me... up...."

Seeing the anger on my face she slows down at the end of her sentence

"YOU WHAT!?!!" I yell at her earning me a few confused stares.

"Well his Snapchat showed that he hasn't left the house yet and nothing happened I swear on my life I would never make out with your brother Zarah."

"Ok I believe you just next time get me to pick you up."

"Ok duly noted."

The bell rings for lunch and everyone starts moving and chairs scrape the floor and we all move towards the door to get out of the classroom.

We head towards our normal table that I have been at alone until today but notice 2 of the jocks from our football team sitting in our spot. I consider just sitting at another table and leaving them alone like any sane person would, but Casie being Casie walks straight up to them.

"Excuse me douche faces this is our spot and I don't plan on leaving it any time soon. So I suggest you get your ugly asses up and go sit with the rest of your arrogant little friends."

"Did you hear that Asher she called your ass ugly." The one on the right said to who I am presuming to be Asher.

"Yeah well as much as I love your flattery all you have to do is ask and my ugly ass is all yours, seeing as your so curious."

Casie goes a deep red and they both laugh and I let out a small chuckle too. Apparently this grabs their attention and the guy to the right starts talking again this time directed to me.

"So who do we have here? I don't recall seeing you around. I'm Zachery but I'll let you call me Zack."

I look at his reached out hand and reluctantly shake it. He looks familiar but I just can't put my finger on where I have seen him before. And his name sounds all to familiar.

"Don't I get a name in return?" He asks me.

"Uhh I'm Zarah."

"Well you don't seem to sure about that. Would you like to think about it?"

"Haha very funny but no I'm sure."

"Well then aren't you to pretty ladies going to join us, because if I recall correctly you said you weren't planning on moving and neither are we. But I don't see any names on this so I think we should manage to share?"

They move over and me and Casie sit facing each other with the same confused look on our faces. What were they doing here?
