30. Irritation
CASSIE POV
It's been more than a month since Hideki and Dylan hooked up and 3 weeks since I realised my crush on Chris. And it's different from those other small crushes I've had in the past and I'm staring to freak the fuck out.
Yes, I know it sounds crazy.
The super weird sidekick having a real crush on someone? No fucking way! Well I'm a normal fucking human being so kindly scram. Also, I hate to break it to you, but I'm not lesbian or bisexual either...
I mean, there was that time I kind of crushed on this girl who was really manly and cool...
Eh, I guess I don't really care about the gender.
I remember the moment I told Akio and Summer about my newfound crush on Chris.
They. Flipped. Their. Shit.
I don't even know why I started liking Chris. He was such an asshole when I met him and I'm never the type to like assholes like those idoits who do, but now I feel like he's opened up and trying to change for the better. I can tell he's really kind and caring deep down and he always seems to smile a bit more now. And his smile is really fucking cute. He's still kind of an asshole though.
I'm walking towards the school grounds with music blasting in my ears when I feel a jab on my side. I turn around to see Chris with an irritated look on his face.
"What." I take out my earphones.
"You didn't hear what I just said."
"Well of course not I was listening to music dumbass."
"Shut the fuck up," he rolls his eyes jokingly. "Anyway I said it's the last term of the year."
"Well no shit Sherlock."
"Fuck you I was trying to start a conversation smartass." We both look at each other then begin laughing our heads off.
"Why are we so mean to each other?" I ask.
"Because we're sarcastic single sidekicks who don't give a flying fuck about anything and are also depressed as fuck."
"That was a fucking rhetorical question man." We start laughing hysterically for no reason again.
"Whoa, I think it's time for you guys to get checked up again." Carlos rolls his eyes, except when he glances at me, he wiggles his eyebrows. Obviously Summer told him.
"Whoa, I think it's time for you to get better friends." Chris retorts, we both cheer in victory and do our signature handshake.
"Awww you guys are so perfect for each other." Akio chirps out of nowhere. Behind him stands Hideki and Dylan embracing each other, silently agreeing with Akio. Chris's facial expression changes.
"Oh shut up." I roll my eyes, it's impossible for him to like me, he should know that. After all;
How can someone like me when I can't even like myself?

CHRIS POV
"It's never gonna happen Akio face it." My voice turns cold.
"Whoa, okay..." Akio looks away, glancing at Cassie.
We all split ways to go to our classes, I'm walking with Cassie and was going to tell her a meme I saw last night.
I don't know how, but Cassie somehow made me open up. Every time I'm around her, I would feel at ease and unafraid to speak up or joke around. I feel like I can trust her, yet at the same time I feel ashamed of wishing to rant to someone about my problems. I've never felt this way towards anyone else and it's really unusual to me. I've always been alone my whole life.
