Elibet and I lay on the hill and stared at the stars.
"That one looks like a sauce pan," I said as I pointed at the sky.
"That's Ursa Major," Elibet replied and then pointed, "but that one is my favourite. Cassiopeia. It sound like your name."
I rolled over to look at her.
"It so doesn't." I argued.
"Cassandra, Cassiopeia, they both sound similar," Elibet said as she looked at me.
Her dark brown eyes shone in the darkness at me and the grass was pressed against her deep brown skin.
I don't know what came over me, but suddenly my head was rushing towards hers. I think I was meant to kiss her.
But I slipped and headbutted her instead.
"What the hell was that for?" Elibet shouted as she suddenly sat up and rubbed her forehead.
"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that!" I replied and I sat up next to her.
"What were you meant to do then?!" She raised her voice and I flinched.
"I was meant to kiss you." I whispered quietly.
We stood there in silence for a moment.
"You were going to kiss me?" Elibet said quietly and I nodded. "Really?"
I nodded again.
Her face look so beautifully calm but then twisted to a face a disgust.
"That's disgusting!" She yelled at me. "Leave me alone! Go away!"
My eyes began to water and as I ran home floods of tears ran down my face.
"How is she still alive?"
