Chapter 4

Chapter 4: the park

Today was Saturday. Also, it means I'm going to the park. With Ash and Vanessa. The thought of Ash being there made my stomach tingle. Whatever it was, it felt weird. It was new to me, all these sudden feelings, that run through my body. It wasn't usual that's for sure. I was sort of happy he didn't mind Vanessa inviting me, she was an angel! Or at least I hope he didn't mind, he could've let it slide because it's his little sister. I liked how he was comfortable and himself when with his sister, like he was carefree. While at school, he was sort of emo and cool, again, it could just be a bad boy act.

My cold was gone, because my nose didn't feel all icky and gross. Also, my temperature must have went down as my forehead didn't feel that warm. Thank god I recovered. I really didn't want to miss this day. I never had friends, and now I'm hanging out with Ash and his little sister. Are we friends now? I was a little afraid, that maybe when we go back to school, I'd just become invisible again, like I had some super power.

I struggled to decide what to wear. I never had this problem before, I just wear whatever I like to wear. This was sort of another disadvantage of not having friends, girl friends especially. I wouldn't have the help of knowing what to wear and stuff like that. But it's not like I ever thought I'd hang around people, I do, but I don't talk to them. I needed to think this through fast though, because I'm not sure what time they're coming, so I had to get dressed fast.

I decided on something comfy. It's the park anyways, and the weather was just right. I pulled on a tee shirt, which was black and had a aztec pocket print design. Then, I decided on some denim jeans and red vans. I seemed to be just in time, because as soon as I got downstairs and grabbed a pack of skittles, the door bell rang.

"hi," I grinned as I opened the door.

"hi Cassie!" Vanessa chirped.

"hey," Ash said, smiling a little.

It's a rare thing, you know, to see Ash smile. Was he smiling at me, or was he smiling as the fact that Vanessa was so happy. Probably the second thing.

"are you feeling better?" Ash asked, maybe with a little bit of concern.

Yeah right, like he'd be concerned about me. Then again, he did ask. Or maybe it was a common thing to ask when a person is sick. A little part of me did want him to care for me. The thought of him caring for me made me a little dizzy, and made my heart go 2...4...6... skipping beats. Then again, it's Ash. And it's me. Ash Anderson wouldn't care for me, Cassie Flizz, a nobody as he calls it.

"so?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"oh... oh em yeah, I think I've recovered," I said, nodding.

"yes!" Vanessa exclaimed, clapping her hands up and down, "let's go!". She grabbed my hand and jerked me out of the house, with my phone in my back pocket, keys in the front pocket and my skittles in the other hand.

I was feeling a little bit hungry, so why not. Skittles are skittles, there's no need for an explanation on why I chose it.

"really?" Ash asked, raising his eyebrows, looking from me to the skittles as I opened the pack.

"what? they're good okay!" I said defensively.

"yeah, okay, I know they're good. They're my favourite," he said, letting out a light laugh.

"want some?" I asked, offering him some then Vanessa.

Both of them took up my offer -duh- and I poured a little onto each of their hands.

"thank you Cassie!" Vanessa grinned, her little teeth showing.

"you're welcome, angel." I smiled.
