"You have no idea how fucked I am."

"In a good way or a bad way? Ow- Okay, I get it, chill."

"I'm serious, Cassie. My mom's ripped apart my room twice now. Twice!"

Cassie blew air out of her nose as the pair reached her locker, dumping Regina's bag off.

"I mean I get that she cares, but-" Regina's cut off by Cassie ripping off an orange flyer from the locker next to her. The curly haired girl brought down her sunglasses, squinting her red rimmed eyes at the paper. Shrugging, she handing it to Regina.

"Tina's party, just sell some shit there and I'll look after the rest. Might as well make a couple bucks off of it and you know my mom doesn't give a fuck." The pair began their trip down the hallway, Cassie walking leisurely while Regina skitters around.

"Really? Tina's party? You know how last time went. Everyone who hangs out with Tina just likes weed, it's fucking lame, I'll still be stuck with the shit my mom will really combust over," Regina talks a mile a minute, her wide blue eyes fleeting over everything in the bright hallway of Hawkins High.

Cassie opens her mouth, but is cut off by a high pitched scream from next to her, following by giggling. She watches in disgust as the couple begins to make out against the hallway. "I fucking hate couples, Jesus. Thank God I didn't bring a lunch."

Regina snickers from beside her as they resume their walk, "Oooooh, careful, Cass. If the King hears you, you'll be executed!" The pair erupt in a fit of giggles, their snorts could be heard from down the hallway.

Cassie feigns a frightened look, "Oh, right! The Royal Court, gee, I'm so scared. Oh, please, King Steve, spare my miserable peasant life!"

Cassiopeia's first encounter with the new kid was in fourth period, where she sat with Tina, Nicole and Carol. The three were raving on about his ass in second hour, swearing it was a perfect half circle. In fourth hour, though, the boy waltzed into class, very, very late, reeking of cigarette smoke and cologne. The teacher tried talking to him to no avail, the infamous guy just plopped into the seat, sending a wink to the group of girls.

Cassie recoiled, sending the three swooning girls a look. "That's 'the ass' you guys have been giggling abut all day? Jesus, more like 'an ass' with that attitude."

Carol said "Wait, what's the difference?" The same moment Tina said, "Yeah, but it's hot." To which Cassie childishly mocked her, "Yeah, but it's not."

"Cass, you can't say anything, your last boyfriend did-" Cassie's hand slapped over Nicole's mouth, cutting off her loud voice. The brunette's eyes scanned the room, only meeting the new kid's blue eyes, staring at her curiously. When they met, he sent her a smirk that she returned with a glare.
