A life turned around

Chapter one: The Surprise

• Cassidy's P.O.V •

   I'm Cassidy Bueller. A.K.A , 'The School Ghost' . I can be your average 16 year old girl. Ha. Who am I kidding. I'm no where near average, let alone normal. What average girl gets named 'The School Ghost' ? Anyway, this is my story. A story of how my life got caught up and turned around completely. But. If i'm going to tell you this story, I have to tell you right- Let's start from the beginning.

                     *Flasback*

"Hey Cass! Could you come down here for a minute please?"

  Calls my sister Brianna from the kitchen. I groan. It was a little past 8 in the morning and my phsycotic sister decides to go on her daily excersise run around the park. But God knows what she wants from me this time. I lazily climb out of my warm and comfortable bed. I could almost hear it pleading for me to come back. I drag my feet down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"What."

  I say flatly looking at my sister who stood in her white tanktop and gray sweats. I see her face fall and she sighs. I already know what she's going to say.

"Cass... were you crying... again?"

   She asks. I just nod and look away. Of course, my eyes were, and felt red and puffy. 

"Look," Brianna started "I miss dad too. But its been eight years since he di-"

  She started but I interrupted her mid-sentence, not wanting her to say it aloud again.

"I know what happened. It's why I left two years ago to train in the military."

   I say looking at her. My father. He was in the U.S army for over six years before he passed. Me and my sister constantly worried about him.

  He was sent to fight in Afghanistan. Since he was close to base, he always called or  video chatted us everynight. Until one night he didn't. The days passed by and those days slowly dragged and they turned into weeks. Then we got some news. Their base had gotten ambushed with bombs. My father was killed in the ambush along with two others.

   I didn't say it was good news did I?

"Just tell me what's up." I say after a moment.

"Mahogany called." Brianna grinned.

"Sh-she did?!" I exclaimed, feeling a wide smile forming over my slightly chapped lips.

"She said to call back ASAP." Brianna responded.

  I shrieked with excitement. Mahogany and I were bestfriends in middle school. She helped me through my toughest times and toughest problems and felt like I could trust her. Until Magcon came along. Ever since Magcon, we rarely see or even talk to eachother anymore.

  Don't get me wrong. I love Magcon. Like anyother teenage girl, I fell in love with the Magcon family. It helped me through my depression state. 

  Ever since Mahogany left, I went completely shy, mute, the depressed girl in school everyone despised. 'The School Ghost'.

  I became too shy to talk to anyone, leading to be bullied, teased, and beat at school. Who could blame them? No one likes an 'anti-social'.

"Cass...?" Brianna says interrupting my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. I'll call her right now." I respond.
