Chapter 3 - The Car

Cass set the Monopoly box on the table. Everyone gathered around the table, imagine that the table is being seen from above, Ramon was sitting at the top side, Cass on the left, Lucas on the bottom, and Kanna on the right.

Cass started opening the box and bringing out the parts, meanwhile, Lucas was trying to make new friends, "So... uh... are you two dating...?" Lucas asked Kanna and Ramon.

Ramon quit adjusting his curly hair and looked over at Lucas, "Are you fucking kidding me?" he said. Kanna instantly started laughing.

"Oh... I'm sorry-" Lucas said before Kanna interrupted.

"We're more like siblings, we have our little ups and downs now and then," Kanna explained. By the time that conversation had ended, Cass had finished setting the game up.

Cass put down all the little figures to play as, "Here, you guys pick your little... uh... whatever they're called." Cass said. Ramon, of course, got the dog, Kanna got the cat. Lucas hesitated to get something, and so did Cass. They both put out their arms to grab one when they both grabbed the car. Lucas' hand was on Cass' hand. Cass looked up at Lucas and back down at their hands. Her face flushed with a scarlet red. Lucas was completely motionless, his mouth wide open, shocked. Ramon and Kanna just looked at the two and then each other. They too were shocked.

After a short while, Lucas final took his hand off of Cass', "I'm-... I'm sorry..." Lucas apologized, embarrassed for what he had done. Lucas picked up the Hat and set it on the board. Everyone else did the same.

"Holy Shit!" Ramon yelled out of nowhere.

"What?" Cass asked.

"Kaili's here! I'll be back, I'm gonna go for her. I'll be right back." Ramon responded, putting on his coat and running outside.

"Welp, there he goes..." Lucas whispered to himself.

"Um, Kanna, can you do me a favor?" Cass asked, Kanna, making direct eye contact.

"Sure, what is it?" Kanna replied.

"I need you to go pick up one of my friends, his name's Travis, he's probably in the gym with his friends in basketball," Cass said.

"Uh, okay, I'll try at least," Kanna said, right before leaving the room. Cass looked over at Lucas, she felt heat out of nowhere. They stayed quiet for at least 3 minutes. By the time they actually decided to talk, there was only 1 hour and 36 minutes of the after-school left.

"So, uh... Cass... I'm sorry about earlier." Lucas said, in a shy and quiet voice.

"It's okay Lucas..." Cass explained, "Your hands are quite soft and warm..." Cass turned red once more, Lucas took notice and got up from his seat.

"Where are you go- oh my god..." Cass, too, got out of her seat to look outside, "it's- it's snowing!" Cass sound incredibly excited, after all, this was only the third time Cass had ever seen snow. She zipped up Lucas' jacket since she could feel the cold from right outside the window. They keep on looking outside until they notice Ramon and Kaili building a snowman.

"Come outside with me Lucas... please." She begged.

"Okay," Lucas agreed, "But what if I'll get cold?"

"I'll hug you till you get warm," Cass replied. Lucas began imagining... crazy things. They both went outside, Kaili and Ramon were both messing around, and at some point, Ramon picked up Kaili but fell down while doing it. They were both fine though, they were smiling and laughing with each other.

"Lucas... I need to tell you something." Cass sat down on the snow and signaled to sit right next to her.

"You can tell me anything, Cass, and I have to tell you something too," Lucas answered.

"You go first." They both said in unison. They both laughed. Kaili and Ramon were still playing in the snow, making snow angels.

Kanna soon came with Travis, "Guys I found him!" Everyone was now right outside the Art Room.

"What's up fuckers," Travis said.

"What. The. Fuck." Ramon said in a way that you could tell he was cringing.

It was now only 1 hour and 25 minutes of the after-school left.
