"Clarissa." I called her name as she stopped at the red light.
"Hmm?" She turned to me.
"I don't want to go to school." I said because I'm going to see Cole.
"Why?"
"I don't want to go to school, I hate it."
"Cassie, 5 months left." She said as she drove again. She stopped a block away and gestured me to go out.
"I'm sick."
"Too late. We're here princess, get your butt out." Clarissa pushed me and I turned to her pouting.
"You're so mean! I don't want to go to school! Please save me!" I begged her and she looked me completely suspicious. She hates helping me to ditch class because our mom caught us once and she's so mad.
"No."
"Please.. help me."
"No, Cassie." She shook her head.
"Rissa.." Cough "I'm dying." Cough "Please."
"No, Cassie. Get out!" She hissed and I glared at her.
"You're the worst sibling!" I got out and she smirked before driving away. I walked to school and went straight to my locker. I opened it and Cole suddenly leaned his body to the locker beside mine.
"Good morning, girlfriend." He said with a smile.
"I'm not your girlfriend." I said without looking at him.
"You asked me out yesterday so.. you're my girlfriend." He said confidently.
"I'm not, Cole." I said as I was about to close my locker. He put a USB in and smiled widely.
"My project, help me with that." He said.
"No, I don-"
"Do it, I don't care. If you don't do it, I'll make your life miserable." He threatened and I raised my eyebrows at him.
"If this is your project, you should make it yourself. It's not mine to begin with." I said as I grabbed the USB and put it in front of him.
"You really don't want to do it?"
"I can company you but I won-"
"Ah.. you want to spend time with me?" He raised his eyebrows.
"No, but it's not fair."
"Do it." He patted my shoulder and walked away. I let out a long sigh and grabbed my laptop to see his project. I went to class and opened it.
"Asshole." I hissed. It's actually a homework from our chemistry class. The teacher gave us 200 questions and he's crazy for asking us to do this. Cole walked into class.
"Have you do it?" He asked.
"No, you do it yourself." I said and he grabbed a chair to sit beside me. He leaned his face close to me and caressed my cheek with the back of his hand.
"Don- don't touch me." I pushed his hand away.
"Nervous?" He smiled.
"Do it together, I don't want to do it for you." I said bravely and he shook his head.
"Do it together or I'll let the teacher know!" I looked straight into his eyes and he's completely surprised.
"You really dare to threaten me?"
"I don't have time for this." I said and I'm not lying.
"Okay, you can come to my house after school, we can do this together." He said and I nodded. "This will be fun." He said before getting up. I sighed and he walked out from my class.
How I wanted to throw a chair at him! He's such an annoying guy. After the first and second class, we have a lunch break. Since I'm on a diet today, I have to stay healthy. I walked to the cafeteria and someone pulled me away.
It's Cole.
"What? What do you want?"
"Don't be rude to me, girlfriend." He said and his friends laughed. I turned to see friends waving at me.
"Buy us lunch." Ben said.
"Buy it yourself." I glared at him.
"Oh.. never thought she will be this feisty."
"Buy me mac and cheese, fish tacos and burgers." He said as he gave me his money. I looked at him completely not liking any of this treatment but instead of getting intro trouble. I queued to buy all the foods that they want. I even ordered myself a mango juice and I paid the food.
I brought the food to their table and Cole looked at all the food one by one.
"Where's my butter chicken?" Tim asked.
"He didn't ask for it." I said.
"Nice.. you listened." He said and I rolled my eyes. I grabbed my mango juice but he stopped me. He took it and drank it.
"That's my drink." I glared.
"Ahh she glares.." Cole mocked me and his friends laughed. I wanted to smack his head but I want them to leave me alone, not to make my life more miserable at school.
After school, I decided to go out and run away from Cole.
"Not so fast, baby!" He stopped me and I jumped seeing him jump out of nowhere.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.
"Ugh uhmmm.."
"Come on." He held my hand and dragged me to his car.
"Get in." I got in right away and thanked God I have no schedule or Flora will kill me. Cole drove out from the school to go straight to his house. I followed him in.
"Hello son." I turned to see his mother standing in a hallway.
"Hey mom."
"Who is this?" She looked at me curiously.
"My friend, we have a project together." More like yours.
"Oh okay."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Harrison. I'm Cassie." I introduced myself politely.
"Nice to meet you too. I hope you like chocolate." She said all of the sudden.
"Yes, I do like it." Cole gestured me to follow him upstairs. I'm not surprise that his house is as big as mine. He led me to his room. He put his laptop on his desk and gestured me to do it. He turned on his PS5 and started to play.
I guess we love the same games. I decide to do his project and let him play his games after that I want to go home. As I'm looking at him playing games, I wanted to protest and tell him the strategy.
"That's not the moves, you're such a loser." I said as I grabbed the joystick from him.
"What do you know about game?"
"Oh.. I know so much about it!"
"Yesss! I win!" I squealed and jumped around the room. Cole looked at me completely pissed and I teased him for being a loser. "You're a gamer huh? There's no way that you just beat me." He looked at me suspiciously. "I don't study all the time." I said and we played 5 more games in which I win 4 out of 5.My phone rang and I had to take it. I answered the call without looking at the caller ID. "Cassie! It's 7 pm, where are you?!" I looked at the called ID and it's Victor. I turned to the clock in Cole's room and it's 7.03. "I'm at my friend's house." I said."We're all looking and waiting for you. Come home now! Let me know the address, I'll pick you up." He said."No! I'll go home now! You don't need to pick me up!" "Don't argue with me." "Just send the driver, okay? I'll send you the address." I whispered and ended the call."Who is that?" Cole asked."My brother, he was worried." I answered truthfully."Don't forget about my project!" Cole said as he continued to play. I wal
I closed my eyes and tried to tell myself that it's just a dream. I opened my eyes again and saw Cole and his friends were laughing at me. Cole was walking towards me earlier and he pretended to slip and spill all of his drinks on me.It was coke and now my whole body is sticky. I quickly ran to my locker to get my spare uniform and ran again to the toilet. "Oh! The weirdo is all sticky!" Gina said in her high pitch tone. "You're sad?" Gina asked but I tried to walk past her to change my clothes. Suddenly the bell rings and great, I'll be late for class. Gina and her minions walked out first and I quickly changed my uniform.I think I'll just do Cole's project and be done with him. Today I have a schedule at 11 so I will ditch school. My school knew about my real identity, my parents came to school letting them my job. After I changed, I walked back to my locker and texted Flora to pick me up at 10 cause I need to take shower first. I can't go to the photoshoot completely sticky.A
After I went home to dress as Cassie and then left to Cole's house. I walked to him and took his history book from his hands. "Help me." He said and I rolled my eyes. "Explain how did the World War 2 happen?" I read the question and turned to Cole who is waiting for me to answer."What? Let's just copy it from the internet." He said and I sighed. I opened the history book and pointed at the World War 2 section. I showed it to him and gestured him to type it. "It has 200 numbers, I hate it." He whined."Do it." I looked straight into his eyes."Help me, you do 199 and I'll do 1." He said and I glared at him hard. He glared at me back and crossed his arms in front of his chest showing a biceps. "It's for your own good, Cole. Do it yourself." I said."I hate school.""Who doesn't?" "You're a nerd so of course you like it." He said and I rolled my eyes."I hate it as much as you do but I want a good score. You should have that mind set too." I got up and sat on the edge of his bed.
"Ahhhhh!" I ran to my bestfriends and hugged them. "I missed you so much!" I said as I hugged them tightly. Today, we will have a fitting in New York for the fitting and some other schedules. "Me too!" We all squealed together. We rarely have time together because we're all busy with our thing, school and most of the time our schedule doesn't match at all. Usually we always make time with each other every 2 weeks. "Come on girls, it's boarding time." Cherice's manager said. We turned to the paparazzi and waved before going into the airport. We always have them around us and sometimes they get closer but not today. We have our bodyguards and managers today. We checked in and walked into the lounge. I'm going to sit next to Sienna today. Elle will be with Cherice. We sat in the lounge."So.. spill the tea, my dear." Sienna said."Right, spill the tea." Cherice said and I turned to Elle. She gestured me to go ahead."I was dared to ask the one and only heir to the Harrison hotel out.
I walked into my school building and I was greeted with Cole scaring the life out of me with his friends. I fell on my butt hard and I groaned in pain. I swear, I'm starting to get annoyed by his action. "Good morning, girlfriend." He put his arm around my shoulder as I got up."I'm not your girlfriend." I hissed as I pushed my glasses. "You should consider yourself lucky because everygirl wants to be my girlfriend. You're such a liar." He whispered and I pushed him away. I ignored him calling me and walked to the toilet. I stopped when I saw Gina and her minions. Not only her but there's Zee who happened to be another bully. "You need to stop getting all close to Cole." She smirked. Yes, I just got into the devil's lair. "I'm not-" She slapped me hard. Cassie calm down, you'll be okay. Calm down. "Don't even think getting near him again, you hear me?" She hissed coldly as she grabbed me by my throat. I nodded and she smiled. "Stay away or you'll live in hell." She said and sh
Today is my sister's concert. I've been looking forward to it since last week. She's been practicing so hard and I can't wait to see it. As for Cole, it's been a month since I got close to him. He's still being a jerk as always. He often pranked me at school such as spilling his food to me, hid my book and put a glue to my book. The bullies have been ignoring me because they saw me being bullied by Cole so they all were happy for that.Even though he bullied me, he made me play PS5 with him. He often lose too and he hates me for it. We spent a lot of time together and he's nice when we're alone. That's why I started to like him. We have this weird hate relationship at school but pretty chill when we're alone. I guess he's just embarassed to be with me since I'm this nerd who dressed like a nun. And he still called me as his girlfriend. Back to my sister's concert. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I'll be going there as Katherina Locks. I dressed beautifully with my ha
"Good morning students, we have a new student joining us today." The new student walked in and my eyes widen. No way! It's Jake Evans but why is he doing here? We have 3 months left for school."Hello everyone, I'm Jake Evans." He moved to London about 5 years ago and now he's back? We rarely talked to each other but our families are close. "Okay, Jake. You can sit behind Cassie. Cassie, please raise your hand." I raised my hand and when he saw me, his face lit up and quickly walked to his seat. "What the?!" He said and I turned to him."Long time no see!" I said and he hugged me. We've always been close when he's here. "How are you? Still with the.. wig?" He whispered and I nodded."Sit down!" I hissed and he chuckled. He sat down and smiled widely."Katherina Locks." He teased me, he always teased me for it. "Okay, find a pair students. We'll be working on a project together." "Let's be a pair." Jake said without asking. He just dragged his table beside me. I can say Jake is pr
"Go to the right!" I screamed at Cole and we're currently playing games."No, we will die if we go to the right." "But the pattern is different now! Just go to the right!" I hissed and he listened."See.. we're safe." I let out a relieved sigh. I turned to him glaring and he gave me an awkward smile. "Hey!" He protested when I took his console."Are you really a nerd? Last time I check, a nerd should not be good at games.." He said flatly as he took his console back and started a new game."We need to stop, Cole." I sighed."No, let's play another game.""That's what you said earlier!" "One more.." He begged and I shook my head."No. You have to make that project." I hissed and my phone rang. I grabbed it from my bag and it's Flora."Cassie, where are you?" Oh boy."I'm at my friend's house.""We have an interview and a photoshoot now. Get your ass home!" She said and I panicked. "I have to go now." I said as I closed my bag."Where and why are you in a hurry?" He asked as he stop
