Opposites

The Big Event

After tossing and turning all night, the morning arrives and after yesterday's realisation, she doesn't know how to confront these feelings. She finds herself knocking on the door of her sister who opens the door dazed... It is 6 AM after all.

"You're right."
"What? Cassie you're gonna have to say a lot more than that. What are we talking about?"

Say it, Cassie, say it.

"I Love him."

YES, SHE SAID IT!

"Who?"

Emily, still dazed, rubbing her eyes... until she realises who Cassie is talking about then cue the loudest shriek you will ever hear.

"OMG,OMG,OMG! You LOVE HIM? I KNEW YOU LIKED HIM BUT LOVE!?"

The sisters hug, the first time in a while I would assume but the girls are getting along and that's all that matters.

"And I'm going to tell him how I feel... today."

Today? The old Cassie would've waited and waited but this IS SOME PROGRESS.

"TODAY!"
"Yes... But first I need some help getting ready."

Emily gleams with a mischievous smile. TIME FOR A MAKEOVER MONTAGE. Emily puts Cassie in a chair and proceeds to do all sorts with her hair and face. Cassie feels nervous but excited, it was the first time she felt this way about someone. They've come a long way since the two opposites, the 2 cubicle neighbours and now there's hope they can be more than that.

"Okay, I've almost finished aaaanndd open your eyes."

Cassie opens her eyes and as her eyes adjust to the light, she feels overwhelmed when she sees herself... she feels beautiful.

" Cassie, you look amazing if I don't say so myself... now, where's your dress!
"I knew I forgot something."
"You forgot to get a dress?"

*facepalm*

"Hang on, wait I've got something."

Emily goes to the guest room and starts going through her bag before coming back with a dress.

"What's this?"
"It was a dress I was going to wear to a formal this year but since I'm not going, it's all yours."

Cassie looks at Emily before taking the dress.

"I can't Em, it's yours."
"Please, it would benefit the dress to get used and you'll be doing me a favour because, boy, is that dress heavy, it weighs my whole bag down."

They laugh and Cassie goes to try on the dress. Cassie would've never worn a dress like this at a work event, she thinks this is what she would've looked like if she went prom. That's right, she didn't even go prom. She walks out and her sister is taken aback.

"You look amazing."
"Thanks, Em, not just for the hair, makeup or dress but you've been great and I was an idiot for pushing you away."
"You're welcome"-

All of a sudden they hear a loud honk. Cassie looks out from her balcony and it's Jason and he's on time. Now that is a big change.

"He's on time for a change."
"I see "someone" is rubbing off on him."

Cassie smiles as she leaves her apartment, more nervous than ever. She said she would tell him... just not yet. She sees Jason and her heart skips a beat but when Jason sees her, his mouth hangs open, she looks breathtaking and he's not sure if she's real. Well, obviously she's real Jason, snap out of it. They stand before each other... no words could describe how they feel but one look says everything. Ah, this is nice.
