Moving on - g.d

T w o

As soon as I awoke, I was greeted with the view of Annabelle hung over me, gently brushing eyeshadow onto my eyelid in the crease.
"I knew you'd be up late so I gave you a head start." She simply stated, pulling out mascara and brushing it only my eyelashes.
"And done! At half past 8 as well!" She exclaimed proudly, placing her hands on her hips and admiring the handiwork that she had carried out whilst I slept.

I rolled my eyes playfully and stood, walking over to the closet and pulling out a baby pink cropped top, white shorts and my Adidas superstars. Quickly pulling them on, I was reminded by Annabelle to not smudge my makeup, causing the process to be longer than it could've been and by this time it was 8:50.

"Breakfast!" Annabelle spoke, placing a bowl on the kitchen table.
"Not hungry, besides I'll probably eat with them anyway." I mumbled, feeling guilty for lying to her yet knowing it's what I had to do to remain beautiful. ((A/N; you don't have to be skinny to be beautiful! You're all hot af 😊))

"As long as you do." She warmed, sounding like my mother as I stood to go to Caspar's dorm.
"See you later!" She hollered as I exited.
"Bye!"

I walked along the identical corridors that were almost soothing due to the patterns that decorated them. The repeated pattern helped calm my nerves as I drew closer to Caspar's room. I wanted his friends to like me, they needed to like me.

Soon enough, I reached the door. I quickly shook my hands to rid the nerves that were accumulating and quickly knocked on the door before I could talk myself out of it.

I wish I had spoke myself out of it...

"Cass?" Grayson asked, his eyes widening. "What are you doing here?"
A lump formed in my throat at the sight of Grayson and the sound of my old nickname as it slipped from his tongue.
"I-I'm here to see C-Caspar's friends..." I whispered as his eyes widened.
"You're the girl that Caspar likes?"
I shrugged in response and that's when Ethan came into view and regret and guilt instantly washed throughout me.

Ethan said nothing yet his eyes became dull with sadness and I hated myself for causing it. This however, had to be quickly disguised when Caspar ran to the door and pulled me into a warm hug. I returned it softly and awkwardly, feeling myself tear up at the situation that I was in. I should have listened to their names yesterday.

"So Cass. This is Ethan and Grayson and they're twins, obviously." He said, smiling as I forced a smile.
"Hi. I'm Cassidy." I said as calmly as I could, hoping that they'd play along, and luckily, they did.
"Nice to meet you." Ethan said quietly.
"Pleasure is ours." Grayson muttered as I looked down, fiddling with my hands.

"So I was thinking we could go ice skating and we can all help Cassie because honestly, she sucks!" Caspar laughed, winking at me, as Ethan and Grayson agreed to go.
"Sounds fun." I added, avoiding eye contact with everyone.

We piled into the car, Grayson and I both in the back since Ethan called shotgun. I was honestly quite annoyed since the ice rink was quite far yet I bit my tongue and didn't say anything, sitting beside Gray and staring at my lap.

Unfortunately, my stomach began to rumble as soon as the car started and I thought that the loud engine would conceal the unhumane sounds that escaped my stomach. It didn't.
"Have you ate?" Grayson whispered, staring at me intensely.

"Of course I have." I snapped, avoiding eye contact which unluckily proved an obvious sign that I was lying.
"You're eating as soon as we get there. No excuses." He ordered as I didn't respond. I had no choice.

Caspar played his playlist as we travelled and surprisingly, he preferred soft music over the grunge that was becoming increasingly popular recently. Due to this, I felt my eyelid become heavy, and I felt the need to sleep.
A gentle yawn escaped my lips and I felt a large, warm arm pull me in, creating a tingly, safe feeling to flush through my body.

I had no energy to pull away so I allowed my head to gently rest on his broad shoulder and all the memories from the previous year came flooding back, hitting me with a jolt of nostalgia and emphasised how much I had truly missed these boys. They replaced me yet I still found forgiveness for them as they meant so much to me.

"I'm still mad at you..." I whispered, my words seeming pointless when his lips brushed my forehead and all my anger diffused.
"I know you are... Don't worry though, I broke up with her... I miss you too much Cass, I made a mistake." He whispered back softly.
I stare at him in shock, now feeling suddenly awake, "What?!"

"Shh! Just go to sleep." He said, now using the opportunity for him to avoid eye contact. I knew better than to push him so instead I signed, returning to the original position yet not closing my eyes due to the fact that my head was reeling.

"So how did you and Cass meet?" Ethan suddenly asked, turning his attention to Caspar.
"Well she walked into my sport science and I knew that she was the most beautiful person I had ever seen." He smiled, glancing at me through the mirror as I sent a small smile back his way.
A strange look then crossed Ethan's face before he spoke again.
"Wanna see the most beautiful girl I've ever seen?" Ethan asked, scrolling through his phone.

I saw the photo flash as he held the phone in front of Caspar, it was me before I lost my weight. Caspar's nose scrunched in disgust, "How dude? She's so fat and ugly. She looks like a troll." Caspar laughed as tears began to prick my eyes.

"The 'troll' would like you to stop the car. She wants to get away from you."
