The girl who wore a suit to School.

Cassie

After a rather disastrous study session at El's House I mean we did some of the project but nowhere near what we should've completed in the time we had so we've decide to study at my house this time as the library is still closed due to a small outbreak of a flu strain, nothing to worry about but it does mean the library where the outbreak started has to be closed. (author cries in quarantine).

Ellerie is coming over now and I now understand why she was so nervous when I came over, I'm bricking it and I don't have 5 kids to look after, I only have older siblings John Junior or JJ is 25 and is already married to my sister in law Marie and has 2 kids Jack and William who are twins and the two sweetest kids you could ever meet. Marnie is my 23 year old sister who has her fiancé Mark and my other brother Eli who's 21 and still in college studying vetinary medicine.

Speaking of college I've decided to study medicine and I've decided to do it in England because I would hate not being to be able to help a person just because they don't have insurance. It's one of the few things I hate about America so it seems like the smart thing to move to England to live. I have also decided to ask Ellerie about England and what it's like to live there. What I'll need where I should go and so on.
Then I hear the doorbell go and race to the door to beat my mom who'll undoubtedly say something embarrassing. But I'm too late honestly she's like a witch and has managed to get to the door before me despite being on the other side of the house only 30 seconds ago.

"hello dear, you must be Ellerie, my Cass talks about you all the time, she didn't like you at first but she says she misjudged you and you're quite a pleasant girl!" she says cheerily as I turn bright red El raises an eyebrow smirking her annoying smirk. I drag her inside and up to my room before mom can embarrass me anymore." you talk about me? " she laughs rolling around shaking with laughter at my embarrassment for a good 10 minutes. I glare at her furiously embarrassed which only makes her laugh harder her green eyes fill with tears of laughter. I hit her with my pillow and eventually we get down to work and I feel bad for ruining her fun but feel less bad when she randomly starts giggling  on the middle of studying. Throwing her head back her beautiful corkscrew hair she's actually not wearing a full suit anymore she must've taken her jacket off and is wearing just her waistcoat. I finally see her tattoos up close on one side there seems to be ancient symbols that look epically cool. And on her other arm closest to me there are flowers snaking their way up her entire arm, I think it's beautiful.
"did they hurt?" I ask eventually
"what?" she wonders confused
"your tattoos" I motioned pointing to them.
"oh! not really, I can sleep through anything even getting ink injected into me!" she grinned, I raised an eyebrow but continued.;
"Also I've been meaning to ask you, I want to study medicine in England I was wondering if you knew any good places to study?"
"you want to study in England? She questions
" I wanna be a doctor but without the whole insurance issue" I explain.
"oooh of course! I didn't even think yeah I think Cambridge would be the one for you, I'm going to Oxford to study environmental science if I can." she tells me.

"why wouldn't you be able to go?" I wonder "because as you may have noticed yesterday, my parents aren't exactly parents of the year, Mack and Daisy wouldn't be able to cope, I remember when I was 9 like Mack and mum and dad kept forgetting babysitters so they left me alone one night with no food in the fridge or cupboards. I was so hungry I couldn't sleep. Before that my grandma had looked after me, but she died a year earlier so I was alone, my parents changed after she died became even more forgetful, it was like without her they just fell apart it didn't help mum was 6 months pregnant with Mack either. " she ranted clearly overwhelmed by the burden she had unfairly been given. I hugged her hard not wanting to let go.

Hey you lot been busy lately with school, it's so weird now! But I won't let affect my writing I'll continue to update every 2 days at least. More if I can manage!
