Chapter Three
~Cassie~
Black Eyes
I got up this morning with a scared look on my face. But wouldn’t you be scared if you met “Devil” yesterday? I walked into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. Once I got out my room door opened and Rebecca walked in with two tops in her hands. Way to knock little sister, I love the communication in this house. Note My Sarcasm.
“Which one?”
“The Blue one with your blue vans”
“Why aren’t you ready? We have to leave soon”
“Becky, if you get out than I will be getting ready”
“Right sorry” She closed the door behind her and I shook my head. But, you gotta love having a sister. I walked into my closet and got a top, shorts and my vans. I walked out and got a bra from my drawer since I don’t sleep with one at night. I got dressed and did my hair and makeup. I walked out my room walked downstairs and nodded at Rebekah’s outfit. We ate a bowl of cereal and Kelsey gave me my car keys. My car was dropped off last night by my cousin Ronnie.
“You ready to go?” I asked Becky. She nodded and we said bye to Kelsey. We got in my car and I started the car and started driving to school.
“Be careful today Cassie. Please?” I nodded
“I will, besides if I’m lucky they won’t be here today”
“That’s unlikely but ok” I sighed and parked the car.
“I’ll see you later”
“Sure” I hugged her and she walked inside. I saw Yasmine and Lola in the front of the school and I smiled at them
“Hey, I’m surprised you’re here”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” I asked confused
“You know, being confronted my Devil yesterday. Everyone thought you were going to run away”
“If there is one thing I don’t do it’s run away from something or someone”
“Alright, see you in Math” Lola said
“Yea, bye” I walked into English and everyone stared at me
“What?”
“Your alive” I looked at the nerdy guy from yesterday push his glasses up more and nodded
“Am I supposed to be dead?”
“We just thought with the whole Devil thing at lunch”
“Whatever, I don’t care what any of you have to say anyway” I walked to my seat and didn’t see that guy Travis. Maybe I’m in the clear today. I hope at least.
The late bell rang and everyone started entering the class and I still didn’t see the guy that had smacked me yesterday. Fuck yeah I’m free for the day. The teacher walked in and we started to “learn” about Romeo and Juliet for what seemed like the 100 time in my life.
“Now, does anyone know what happened after the masquerade?” A few people raised their hands but the door opened and I looked to see the black leather jacket from yesterday. All of a sudden my cheek started to burn and I realized that it was because he was staring at me. No he was glaring at me, I shifted in my seat and looked down.
“Nice of you to finally join us”
“Shut up” he spat at her than walked to his seat. He leaned back in his chair and put his feet on the desk. To say that I wasn’t nervous was a complete lie. I was terrified to blink because I thought he was slap me again. I didn’t look up or talk the rest of the period. I walked out the class after the bell rang and walked into the girl’s bathroom. I really needed to relax or I was going to go into an anxiety attack I swear.
“Cassie” I heard someone say my name in my ear but when I looked in the mirror no one was there. I looked around the bathroom and under the stalls but didn’t see anyone.
“Check the mirror” I turned and saw the guy staring at me with a cold glare.
“W-what do you want?” He made a “come here” move with his index finger and I walked closer. Once I got to the mirror his reflection became more visible but before I knew who it was the mirror cracked and I only saw my reflection. This town is scaring the fuck out of me. Who is this dude that is in every mirror I look at? I walked out the bathroom and looked around watching everyone walk past me. I walked into the math room and saw Lola sitting at our table.
“Hey what’s up?”
“I need to ask you something”
“Ok what is it?”
“I keep seeing a guy in every mirror I look in other than the ones at home. Is that normal?” She looked at me like a was crazy
“No that’s not normal, that’s scary as fuck”
“I know, and someone was in my room last night” her eyes widened
“Who?”
“I don’t know, they left a note on my window saying that it a dangerous place and I need to be careful or something”
“Do you think there talking about Devil?”
“I honestly don’t know, I’m scared that he will take his warning back and I will be in serious shit”
“Ok, just breath and relax. I’m sure it’s nothing serious”
“I hope your right” She nodded and we focused on what the teacher was saying.
I walked into the café by myself and saw Rebecca with Yasmine and Lola at our table. I got on line for lunch when the two doors opened. Once again all movement stopped and I wanted to run. I saw them look at me and sit at a table. Each of the glares was cold as ice, I could feel the hate come off them and seep into my veins giving me goose bumps. My heart started racing and I paid for lunch. I looked for another way to get to the table instead of having to pass them but there was no other way. I took a breath and held it in hoping nothing would happen. I almost made it past there table when I heard a cough and I turned to see Him staring at me. I wanted to keep walking but my feet wouldn’t move, it was like I was stuck in that place.
“Have you caused any trouble Weston?” I swallowed the lump in my throat and shook my head fast
“Are you sure about that?” I nodded and he got up from his chair.
“I hope so, because if you did than we would have a problem wouldn’t we?”
“Y-yes” I managed to get out
“You should really let go of that breath your holding Cassie, wouldn’t want you to pass out now would we?” I shook my head and he smirked
“Now move along” I nodded and walked to my table.
“What did he say?”
“Nothing” I turned and saw him staring at me with a straight face.
“Are you alright?”
“What’s his story?”
“No one knows. He’s not someone that people talk to”
“Has anyone ever tried?”
“What do you think?” Lola said with a –hell-no look on her face
“It’s just maybe he is a lost soul”
“Yea and maybe pigs fly” Yasmine said
“Look, no one talks or messes with him or his friends. If you want to keep breathing I suggest that maybe you stay quiet, and don’t speak to them”
“Ok”
“Promise?”
“I promise” But under the table I had my fingers crossed.
“Kelsey isn’t going to be home until late. She wants us showered, ate, and no trouble” Becky said. I nodded not really paying attention but still staring at their table
“Are you even listening?”
“Yea you said something about pigs flying” They face palmed themselves and Rebecca hit my arm
“The hell was that for bitch?”
“I said you know what forget it”
“Ok?” I said with a strange look on my face.
Finally the school day ended and I felt my heart rate go back to normal. I walked outside the school and saw Rebecca with a boy around her age. I walked up to them and smiled at him
“Hi, Becky ready to go?”
“Sure, uh Cass this is Todd. Todd this is my sister Cassie”
“Nice to meet you” I said to him.
“Hey” He said with a nod. Uh Ok? Rude much? Whatever I don’t have time for that
“Come on”
“Can Todd come over?” I looked at her and she gave me those puppy eyes
“Fine” I said giving up
“Thanks” She took his hand and they walked to the car. Oh dear god don’t let me regret this. I started the car and saw them staring at the car as we drove past them. I got the chills down my spine and let out a shaky breath. Once we got home I told them to stay in the living room considering she’s 15 and there is no way in hell she is going to her room with a boy. I may be a screw up but I’m not letting that happen for my sister. I walked into my room and saw my window open and another note on the window.
Maybe You Should Look Up Todd Sanders. I’d Be Careful If I Were You Princess
