"Cassidy! Cassidy!"
Cassidy woke up groggily to the sounds of her name being called and banging on the window next to the bed. She sleepily rubbed her eyes and her vision focused onto the familiar grin of JJ, standing outside of the window. Cassidy had chosen to sleepover at the chateau last night to give John B some company after the news of his dad, knowing her mother wouldn't mind or notice. John B had let her sleep in his bed while he took the couch in the living room. Cassidy shuffled to the window and looked at the boy expectantly.
"What?" Cassidy asked him, placing a hand on her hip.
"Oh come on grumpy pants, we're going to prank John B," JJ sent the girl a grin as she slid the window up so he could enter the house. He shook his head and instead pulled the girl out of the window by her arm. The two silently walked to the front of the house and to the window that was next to the couch John B was sleeping on. JJ suddenly banged on the window loudly, alarming Cassidy.
"DCS! I know you're in there!" the boy shouted.
Quickly catching on, Cassidy added, "John B, come out now, we're here to take you." She sent an amused glance to JJ who always managed to drag her into these stupid situations. From the window, she could see John B shoot up into a seated position before shaking his head in relief once he realized it was just them when JJ jumped in front of the window.
"Gotcha, slick. You should have seen your face. Your face was like..." JJ taunted laughing hysterically and not being to finish his sentences. The two walked inside of the chateau and John B looked at Cassidy disappointedly.
"I at least expected better from you," he said, waving a finger at the girl. She just sent him a toothy grin as the three friends headed back outside and towards John B's beat-up van. The night before, the three had come up with a plan to go to Lana, Scooter's wife, to ask her if she knew anything about the compass or John B's dad.
"I'm just saying, I don't understand why you don't at least try with Kiara. She clearly likes you. She's like 'Oh John B'" JJ pressed John B once they got on the road.
"Oh is that what she does?" John B asked JJ rolling his eyes at the boy.
"Yeah. She's sketching about you diving and then she kissed you," JJ continued, Cassidy becoming more amused with the conversation. She too had thought Kiara had liked John B, but of how she was wrong.
"She kissed me on the cheek. It's not like we were making out," John B defended.
"It's low hanging fruit," JJ said, making Cassidy scoff. "Don't pretend you don't notice. I see it in your eyes. You're like 'I kind of like that' and then you start blushing," JJ continues to taunt the poor boy.
"I blush?" John B questioned, rolling his eyes again.
"Yeah you totally blush," Cassidy added in. "But I hate to break it to you, I don't think she's into you," she added knowingly.
The two boys turned behind them to stare at the girl in the backseat, looking at her expectantly. "Spill" JJ told her.
"Fine, it's just... I don't know how to put this. Well, she kind of kissed me the night of the kegger," Cassidy mumbled, looking down at her lap feeling guilty about telling the boys.
The two boys stared at her with their mouths wide open. JJ practically started drooling. Cassidy was scared that JJ would be upset or jealous, but it turned out that it just made him all giddy.
"Wait, you've got to give me details," John B questioned the girl.
"Nope. I've already said too much," she replied cheekily before turning her head to look out the window.
