Slow Burning

When Kiki finally dragged Cassidy to class they opened the door hurriedly. They gave a quick wave to their LA teacher while she was writing the lesson plan on the board.Cassidy and sat down in her assigned chair across from Kiki. She and Kiki made it to class one minute before class began.

"Yes! We beat the bell" Kiki exclaimed while leaning back in her chair. "I don't see how that matters when half the class is late anyway," Cassidy crossed her arms "Plus because of you, my bag is probably lost forever!" Cassidy snarled angrily at Kiki. Kiki held her hands up defensively. "Hey, Hey! Calm yourself there Cassy! What happened to be chill?"

Cassidy barely ever lost her chill but when she did...it was mostly on Kiki."Oh well, being chill went out the window when you decided that getting to a half empty class was more important than my whole damn bookbag!" Cassidy had to be basically red by now. Kiki stood up and leaned over the desk dramatically "Well you know I hate to be late to any class! I can't ruin my perfect record just because you finally swooned for a boy!"

Just as Cassidy was going to argue back their teacher dropped her book on their desks."Ahem...What seems to be the problem here Ladies?" the teacher said while eyeing them carefully as if one wrong face could send them to the office. "Oh, nothing out of the usual Ms.William! Just a bit of our friendly banter getting out of hand!" Kiki said nervously. Cassidy just nodded her head blankly. "Okay girls! Next time you two better find a better way to deal with your problems! Fighting is never the answer! I know nowadays kids your age think that fighting the only way to solve your problems but blah blah blah" The more Cassidy tried to listen the less she actually cared. She glanced at Kiki seeing her get her fair share of the lecture. 'Hah! Serves her right' Cassidy thought smugly.

"Ms.Cao! Are you even listening to me!?" Ms.William said irritated. Cassidy shook her head and looked down at her desk, faking a disappointed look. Ms.William took this as a sign to start class and walked away to attempt to start her lesson.

~10 long minutes later~

"Okay class now that it seems you understand the lesson lets look over your homework!" Ms.William said walking around with her grade book in hand. This is what Cassidy had been waiting for. Anxiety boiled in her stomach for the fifth time after they started the lesson. This wouldn't end off good, Ms.William had been waiting to give Cassidy the pink slip ever since the first time she talked back. Then again it seemed she had it out for the whole class.

Cassidy gulped down and stared daggers at Kiki who gave her an apologetic look. Cassidy wondered if she could ask Ms.William to go to the bathroom but she realized even if she did that she doubted that her bag would still be where she left it. Not when that boy had it last. 'What if he stole it! That little basta-' Kiki's tap on Cassidy's shoulder stopped that thought. "Cassidy clam down your chewing your nails" Kiki whispered while looking over her shoulder. Ms.William seemed to be closer to their table than Cassidy thought which of course worried her more.

*Knock Knock*

Ms.William looked up from her grade book and toward the door where a flustered freshman stood. "Alex! What are you doing here during the second period? Don't you have class?" All eyes were suddenly fixated on him. He stepped forward and whispered a few words into the teacher's ears while pointing towards Cassidy. "Oh, my! What a clumsy girl she is! Cassidy dear~!" Ms.William basically sang. Cassidy looked pleadingly at Kiki before standing up and walking towards the door. "Um... I'm uh sorry for knocking you down and uh stuff.." Alex said timidly avoiding eye contact as much as possible. Wouldn't blame him having a whole class of upperclassmen watch you is unnerving. "Oh don't worry that was totally my fault...heh" Cassidy said quickly trying to stop the torture. "Alex, Cassidy why so awkward? You guys like each other or something?"

The whole class went quiet as if they were all holding their breaths. Alex's face was between horrified and flustered. Which wasn't far off from Cassidy's face either. "N-no way! I don't even know her! I-i just wanted to give her back her bookbag" Alex said slowly backing out of the room. "Or did you just get lonely and want to see your Girlfriend~!" A girl named Dominica said giggling. This set the whole class off and they all started snickering and laughing while a group of girls made kissing noises. Kiki put her head down as she could literally feel the second-hand embarrassment. After making a few strange noises, Alex dropped the purple bookbag and ran out the room slamming the door. Which of course made the class laugh even louder. "Okay, class settle down, settle down!" Ms. William smiled wickedly "Ms.Cao I'll be checking your work next now that you have your bag" All Cassidy could do was nod and sit down with her bookbag. She was completely petrified! Kiki tried to comfort her but all Cassidy wanted to do was crawl into a hole and die. Hopefully, the bell will ring soon.
