Poison in our Veins but not in our Blood

Chapter 1

Cassie’s POV

14 hours. 14 hours Mollie and I just spent on a plane. Long but well worth the wait. I was so ready to get the hell out of the U.S. there is nothing there for me anymore.  Leaving the States was one of the hardest and easiest things to do. I hated the people I surrounded myself with there but ill miss the few who would actually miss me.

Mollie and I rushed to baggage claim, we were ready to get the fuck out of here.

“It’s 9:30 already.” Mollie said pulling her luggage of the conveyor belt.

“Boy am I ready to go to bed.” I replied.

“That makes two of us.” We laughed and  we dragged our luggage behind us.

*Later*

 Well after an hour long wait at the bank to switch currencies, a 30 minute taxi drive and a couple snacks, we have finally arrived at our apartment building. I sent Mollie up to our appartment while i got info from the attendant at the front desk.

“And pool is out back” He said smiling

“Thanks so much! I’ll talk to you later.” I said waving, and walking to elevator.

God I hate elevators. Once I step inside, I press the 14th floor button and gripped the handle in the back.  To occupy myself, I think about what Mollie and I have to do in next couple of days; a lot. Lets see tomorrow, Sunday,  we have to go get food and possibly any other furniture/appliances that we may need, which shouldn’t be much since these apartments are already furnished. Monday Mollie goes for her job interview which should be fairly easy since her old boss gave her a recommendation to the Hot Topic here and i still need to find a job. And we need to re-take driving tests so we can drive and-

“Are you just going to stand there?” a familiar voice said making me snap my head up.
“Oh sorry. I wasn’t paying attention” I said

“I could tell” Mollie said has she held the elevator door so it wouldn’t close.  “Come on” she said leading my out of the elevator, to the right down the hall. As we walked I looked at the numbers on the doors in my head until we got to ours. Mollie pushed her key into the lock and turned it to the right. The door clicked and opened. We stepped inside and I looked around my home for the next however many years. It was fairly open and spread out, had nice big windows in between the rooms on the left and right. It had nice new appliances, a dining table, a couch, and a flat screen tv.  

“I like it” I said setting my keys on the counter and taking off my backpack that i forgot i was wearing.

“Me too” Mollie said shutting and locking the door behind us.

“Tomorrow we have to go shopping for food.” I said yawning

“Yeah that sounds like a good idea” Mollie said rubbing her eyes.

I picked up the card that sat on the counter that Mollie had pointed out. It read: Welcome to  your new apartment, we hope you enjoy it here! Please call if you have any questions or concerns. Followed by the main desk phone number. “Fancy huh!” Mollie said smiling sleepily. “Go to bed.” I told her. “Don’t have to ask my twice” she said running to room on the right that she had already claimed. “NIGHT.” she yelled. “Night” I replied,  rolling my eyes and walking to the room to the left. I sighed deeply as I set my stuff down. I shut my door, changed into my pjs, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, well needed sleep consumed me.
 

*The Next Morning*

Mollie’s POV

By 10:30 this morning I was able to wake cassie up, take a shower, get dressed, and put makeup on. Pretty productive if you ask me. Getting cassie up was a pain in the ass though. Speaking of cassie, im waiting for her to finish whatever so we can leave cause i’m super hungry. 15 minutes later cassie is all ready to go(thank the lord). We take the elevator down to the main lobby and ask where the nearest grocery store is. This is gonna be interesting.

“Ok so he said its only a couple blocks down and we can walk there.” Cassie tells me as we push through the doors.

“Ok cool. I assume that if we have a shit load of stuff we are taking a taxi home huh?”

“You got it. I’m not hauling 40 billion things back to the apartment.”

“Me neither.”

We walked for about 20 minutes until we came to a Worldwide food store, just like the dude said. It looks fairly easy to navigate, I hope. Once we are inside I grab a cart as Cassie looks over the list we made.

“Oh lord” She breathes “This is gonna be good.” We then make our way throughout the entire store grabbing whatever thats on the list. We are starting to feel more confident as time goes on, even though we are earning some strange looks from the locals. They have some strange names for things here. Quite confusing but we finally come down to the last thing on our list.

“Candy? You put candy on the list? Not even a certain brand just candy?!” Cassie laughs

“Well yeah i don’t know what kinda candy they have here. What else was i supposed to put? Chocolatey items?!?” We both laugh and head to the candy section. We decide we are going to try only some of them for right now. We mostly guessed on what we were getting but others we recognized. We settled on Mars bars, Milky ways, Kit Kats, Smarties, Maltesers, Dairy Milk bars, Wispas, Twirls, Crunchies, and Double Deckers. Thats only 10 not bad right?

Cassie was right we did have 40 million groceries, so we called a taxi and headed back to the apartment. The only thing i was thinking about when we arrived was how badly I wanted a sandwich, because thats all that really matters right now. As soon as we opened the door we were putting things away. That shopping trip took like 3 hours and I hope we were faster at putting things away. After stocking the fridge and making a couple sandwiches, Cassie and I were watching Say Yes to the Dress in the living room.

“Are you nervous for tomorrow?” Cassie asked as commercials played to the screen.

“Yeah, a little, but i’ll be even more nervous stepping into the interview” I say turning to face her

“What time is it again?”

“At 11:30”

“Nice. I’m sure you’ll do great” She said reassuringly. I let out a nervous laugh and thanked her. God I hope I do well.
