I Think I Love You [Girl×Girl]

Chapter 6

*Casey's POV*

I stand in the bathroom the next morning, staring at my arm. Allys number is still there, and I am only reminded of it when i was two seconds away from stepping into the shower.

I should call her before school, to ask if she did her homework. So I wrap a towel around me and walk back to my room, to put her number in my charging phone. But before i can stop myself, i'm calling it.

"Hello?" She sounds groggy, and i feel slightly bad because i probably woke her up.

"Oh, hi. It's Casey. Sorry if i woke you up."

"Nah, its fine," she says, "I have to get up anyway. To finish that homework."

I smirk, because i knew it. "How much more did you do?"

"None. I dont even know why I should have any. Yesterday was my first day."

"Haha yeah I guess your right." She laughs. Then i have an idea.

"Hey if you want i can drop by in a bit and we can work on it together."

"Really? That would be great!" She sounds noticably relieved, i know i just saved her ass.

"Yeah, I dont mind. See you in about 30 minutes."

****

*Alyssa's POV*

CASEY CALLED ME. My heart is racing, and I'm grinning like an idiot. Sure she woke me up, but thats my fault because i always sleep with my phone in my pillowcase.

Theres a knock on my door, and my mom pops her head in "'Lyssa, I'm on my way to work. I left some money on the kitchen table. Go get Dunkin Donuts or something."

"I didnt know they had one here."

"Its off the main drag, on Lyndale. I'm gonna walk so you can take the car, ok?"

"Yeah, thanks Mom," I say, and then shes gone. I shower and go downstairs. By that time, Benny is ready and downstairs on his phone, playing a game.

"Hey you hungry?" I ask him.

"Yeah, starving."

"Well thats the beauty of me turning sixteen last month. You wanna get a doughnut?"

"Ohh, Moms letting you take the car?"

"Yes, but we have to hurry. Caseys coming over to do homework with me."

It doesnt take long to find the Dunkin Donuts. I actually cant believe i didnt notice it when we first drove into town. Benny knows exactly what he wants, a strawberry frosted with sprinkles. But i have to take a moment, and finally decide on a Bavarian Cream.

When we get back in the car, i check my phone for the time. 6:44. Benny needs to be at the middle school by 7:20, but Casey and I have until 8:10.

"So how was the first day of school for you, Ben?" I say once we're in the house again.

"Okay i guess," he mumbles, which i know to be, "Totally sucked."

"Aw its ok. The first day anywhere always sucks."

"Not for you! You have Casey."

I laugh almost choking on my doughnut. "We're not nearly friends yet. We just met yesterday. I dont have anyone but you."

And I'm not lying. I know Mr. Asshole (a.k.a Caseys boyfriend) said something to her... I just know it. And if he didnt... it would only be a matter of time before someone did. Everyone blames me for what happened, except for Leah, my parents and Benny. Arent police supposed to protect minors? Apparently I'm the exception.

The bell rings. "Oh, thats Casey. i really have to get that homework done. Can you walk to school?"

"We just moved here Ally. I dont know how to get there. Mom said you would drive me."

I sigh and go open the door. There she is.

"Hi!" Casey chirps. "You ready to hop on that homework?"

"Not really," I say, "but come on in."

The next 45 minutes are grueling but in the end, we finish most of it. I end up not having to drive Benny because a group of middleschoolers walk by our house and i convince him to follow them.

"Whew, thanks for coming over!" I say as we pack up our books. "I could have never figured out half of that stuff."

"It's no problem," Casey says, "Junior year is hard for anyone, especially if your new in the middle of the year."

I sigh. If only she knew...I've had to go through so much, being new isnt nearly the worst of my troubles.
