A wonderful feeling

Chapter One

Cassie's POV

I sit still staring outside my window. It's been such a beautiful day...at least no sign of rain. It's been raining frequently these days. So the possibility of it doing so everyday is high. But for today, the sun shone fairly and that I am very grateful for.

I'm Cassandra Anne Brew Smith, seventeen years of age, in high school...and I've got three older siblings. Yeah crazy right. I'm the last obviously. We live with our mom in this really big house.

Well our dad died when I was seven..the sad truth. So I just grew up mostly getting adjusted to living with an older brother acting as the man of the house.

Christopher Smith... twenty-two years old. Tall, brown eyes just like our dad's. He works as a Pizza delivery guy at Little Shacks Pizza Hut; most popular pizza place here.

After Christopher are two other girls before me. Brenda and Fiona. Brenda works at Movenhops Ambassador Hotel;one of the high class quality hotels in Florida. She's a receptionist. Cool right...but she says her job's stressful. I understand there's stress in being a receptionist but heyy... we're talking about Movenhops.

Fiona works at the icecream shop downtown. Not that far from our place though.

Yeah you might be thinking why they've got to be doing these kinda works...if we live in a pretty big house..

Actually, after dad died things went real bad. We lost our home and mom lost her job as a teacher.... Since then she's been at home. And about the part of the house.

Well...mom's all so hot boyfriend bought it for us.  But hey, I still can't believe that guy wants to marry my mom. He's nice though...and he's real rich. I also don't blame him for falling for my mom real hard though, because I mean even at forty four my mom's still hot.

On my part I hope they get married..like real quick. All four of us approve of it.

Yeah so basically that's my family life... let's talk a bit about my school life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sigh*... For me I'm cool in my own circle of friends... We're three... Victoria, Marissa and Clara.
Vicky's good with the makeups and fashion kinda thing. We're actually mates in my clothing class.

Yeah I offer clothing in school. I just love fashion. My dream is to become one of the famous designers in the world. Marissa my best best friend among the three, because it was just me and her before Victoria and Clara joined.

Well she is good with cooking, so she's in the cooking class and Clara is the science girl... she's really good in science; Chemistry, Physics name it.

And there's this other trio in Ashton Winsor High; they're the most popular girls in the school. Jessica Hughes, Lucy Green and Samantha Aikins.Three spoilt brats who won't leave me to rest in the school. Always finding one way or the other to torment me and make fun of me.
Jessica whose the gang leader hates me for apparently no reason; well no reason that I know of.

Yeah so basically that is it again of my school life.

"Cassandra" I hear my mom call out my name.

"Yeah mom," I try to shout so she can hear me.

"Can you come down and check something for me?." It's Saturday and even with that all my siblings are at work,so that leaves me at home with mom.

"Sure,be there in a minute"  I get down from my sofa my the window and slip on my flip flops and hurry downstairs to see what mom wants.

I enter the kitchen to see a very confused mom looking in the cabinets and the fridge."Yeah mom..."

"Oh yeah, Cassie can you please rush to the grocery store and get some eggs and spaghetti for tonight. I really want to make those and there aren't any ingredients for it." She rants

"Umm okay mom,sure get the list ready and I'll be back in five minutes. I climb the stairs to my room and change into something appropriate.

For someone my body frame and also a fashion student, I've really got a good sense of fashion. But maybe I won't put it in today. I put on a pair of black jeans, a baggy top and still decide to go with my flip flops.Weird I know. No make up nothing. I'm good to go. I'm not really a fan of makeups and stuff.

I get downstairs quickly and get the list from my mom; and head out. I get into my blue truck. Yeah I own a truck. Mom's boyfriend; Derrick got it for me as my seventeenth birthday gift. Luckily I do know how to drive because I made Chris teach me. Since he's the oldest and owns a car. A black Mercedes Benz to be precise.

I focus on the road careful not to get into an accident,like what happened the last time. I wanted to get some pain killers for mom from the pharmacy shop. I nearly hit some four year old on a bike. Don't blame me, I was hell tired.

I get to the store in about five minutes. I check the time on my phone it's 6:23, luckily Chris and the others make it home by seven. Which means I've got more time to shop,get home and make dinner.

I open the doors and step into a cool atmosphere. I look around and pick the list from my back pocket to glance through. Spaghetti, eggs, spring onion, garlic, chili powder and others. Great at least I know the section to move to. I grab a basket from the tall heap and head in.

I take three Bondy pack Spaghetti and move to the vegetable section. I take the cabbage,lettuce, onions and just us I'm about to take the garlic, something or let's say someone bumps into me.

"Ouch" I rub my forehead and look up to be greeted by a pair of blue eyes looking at me intently. "Hey what  are you looking at. You could at least say sorry or something" I complain.

"Umm sorry, I'm so sorry" he apologises

"It's okay. Just watch where you're going next time. And don't be running about in a grocery store. Next time it won't be a hot teenager but an innocent grandma." I scold and walk past him to get my last item on the list; the chili powder.

"Umm heyy wait...I said I was sorry." he says softly.

"Yeah yeah." I mumble under my breath.

I take a bottle of chili powder and head to the counter. Just then a pair of arms wrap around my waist and pull me back.

"What the-"

"Shhhh...hey beautiful" he smiles. It was the guy from earlier. And what does he think he's doing?? I try to say something but he has his hands over my mouth.

I get some air and smack him on my the  elbow once he releases his hands from my mouth.

"Are you crazy??" I try not to shout. "What do you want??"

"Your name...number...you know that kinda thing" he smirks playing with my hair. I hit his hand off.

"Okay, and why would you want that. I barely know you" I put down the basket and cross my arms.

"Exactly, that's he point. You don't know me, so getting  your  number is going make us take it to a new level, by getting to know each other"

I let out a laugh."You're funny okay, very funny. Now if you would excuse me I have to get going." I pick the shopping basket from the ground and try to make my way past him but he blocks my path.

"Hey I said excuse me" I tell this time getting to lose my patience.

"No no no, number first"

I groan and lift my head to check the time on the clock; 6:32. This guy is making me late.

"Okay fine, so if I give you my number.. you're gonna let me go." I raise my eyebrows at him. "Right??"

He nods. "Wait it's got to be yours"

Fine...I grumble and give him my contact. At least he texting me means I can choose to reply or not and also  I can just block I'm if he gets any more annoying.

"Thanks beautiful, we're gonna vibe." And with that he turns around the corner.

"Typical high school jerk" I murmur. I walk to the counter and pay  for everything and head out to my truck to get home. I'm already late and I just hope that mom isn't gonna kill me.
