.:Cassie:.
I woke up the next morning feeling tired and sick. I really dont want to go to this damn party! But I did promise Stace... Damn promises!
I took a quick shower and got dressed into the deadly uniform. I straightened my hair and went downstairs to the kitchen.
As I walked in, Alexas gave me a hug and some toast. Kyle was at the table. He stared at me for a moment and then went back to eating his toast.
"Thanks." I said to Alexas and then sat down next to Kyle. I really didn't want to but i didn't have a choice.
Shortly after I sat down Dave and Alexas joined us. An uncomfortable silence loomed over us as we ate.
"Im going out tonight." Kyle broke the silence with his voice. I think I prefered the silence...
"Ok sweetie. Where are you going?" Alexas asked him.
"Just to a party with Ryan and the guys."
"Ok, don't be out too late."
That just gave me an idea. I havent asked about the party yet and maybe...just maybe Alexas will say no and I wont have to go.
"Could I go out with Stacey tonioght?" Kyle gave me a weird look. I wonder if he knows that I might be there at the party.
"Ofcorse it is." Alexas gave me a smile. She's probably happy that im finaly going out to a social event.
"Got to go to work. Thanks for the breakfast honey." Dave got up and kissed Alexas on the cheek. Aww, they looked so cute. I wonder what its like. Being in love like them. They look so happy. I wonder if my life will turn out like theirs. I hope it does.... But i doubt it. My life will never turn out happy.
"Bye you too." Dave said to me and Kyle. He hasn't really said alot to me. I wonder why. Maybe he doesn't know how to talk to me knowing my past...
"Bye." We both said in unison. That was
weird. We looked at eachother and Dave just laughed as he left the room.

School was boring as usual. It was filled with Stacey talking about the party, how excited she was about finaly telling Kyle how she feels, boring teachers shouting at the usual suspects for practical jokes and just general boredem.
Finaly, at 3:00pm the bell for the end of school rang. Stacey and I decided it would be best for her to come round mine so we could get changed and ready. What was there to get ready about? Its just a lame party thrown by a barbie.
When we got back to the house Kyle and his rather annoying friend Ryan was there. Just great.
We went straight to my room. My sanctuary. My....What the hell? As I opened the door a can of pink paint fell on top of me. I heard laughter erupt from behind me. I turned around and saw Kyle and Ryan on the floor holding their chests. Stacey just stared at me. Her jaw had dropped to the ground. I gave dumb and dumber death glares, grabbed Staceys arm and slammed the door shut as I dragged her into the room.
"I swear im going to kill them one day." I said as tried washing the paint of my face in my. Stacey came into the barthroom.
"Heres your clothes for the party. You take a shower and get cleaned up while I go and clean the paint up." She put the clothes down on the floor next to me.
"No I'll clean up the pai..."
"Cas."She looked at me. I knew that look. It was do as I say or else look. Sometimes I think about arguing with her just to see what the or else was.
"Ok." I sighed. She smiled at me and left; closing the bathroom door behind her.
**********
We made our way to the front door of a massive house. There was loud music playing or what i thought was music. Turns out it was.
"Ready?" Stacey asked, looking at the big doors.
Before I could reply she knowcked on the door. A guy I saw from school answered. I think his name was Josh? Im not sure. It was something like that.
"Come in." His words were slurred and I guessed that he was drunk. He was swaying from side to side with a massive smirk on his face. He looked at me, still smirking. I felt oddly self conciouse and wrapped my hoodie around me. I didnt like that look.
We had only been there for about 10 minutes and already I had lost Stacey. I decided to go upstairs and see if she was there. I climbed over the past out, drunk people and went to a door. I slowly opened it and saw Stacey speaking with someone. There were people sitting in a circle. Girls were in one part and guys were in the other. I didnt like this one bit.
Stacey saw me and squealed. She raced over to me and dragged me into the circle. She motioned for me to sit down next to her. I sat down and as soon as I did I had a black top hat shoved in my face.
I looked at it confused and then at Stacey.
"Pick something."
"Why?" I must of sounded so stupid and probably looked like an idiot because the circle was silent and everyone was staring at....ME! Oh no. I really dont like attention.
"Just pick!"
I stuck my hand in the hat and felt somehting soft brush against my fingertips. I grabbed onto the object. As i pulled it out I saw it was a wristband with black and white checkers on it.
Stacey pulled me up from my position and shoved me into a closet. I didnt know what to do. It was dark. The only light was from under the door and that was hardly enough to see.
I backed up and hit the back of the closet. It was very small. There was just enough room for two people to stand.
Oh no.
Please no.
It cant be. Ive just been thrown into a game of seven minutes in heaven. Now im going to have to stay in here with a total stranger. Why me? What did i do wrong?
My breathing got faster as I heard the door handle beeing opened.
My heart pounded against my chest.
The door opened and someone walked in. I couldnt see who it was because as soon as they entered, the door was quickly shut and locked.
LOCKED!
Im going to get you for this Stacey. She knows im not good with being alone with someone I dont know. Im not good with meeting people. Im not good with people!
"Hi." I heard a soft yet gravely voice.
Nows the time Cas. Speak. Speak damn you!
