LOGIN"Hey, Peter!" Joining hands with our famous class president, I adjust the bag strap on my shoulder as it was almost recess.
"Hey, Cass! How's it going?" He meant life."Not good, boss. Not good at all.""Damn. Tell me, sis.""Nothing you should know but hey, would you please pass Ms Kelly this note? I have the signature of the principal on it. I'm sick and I'm leaving early today." I say."Sick with what?" He touches my forehead."Sick with boys, babe. Bye!" I rush off after kissing him on the cheek. And yes, he is gay and has the biggest, fattest crush on LJ.LeBron James. Just kidding.LJ is our school captain. One of the rich-looking people I've ever seen in real life with his starlit morals and values of a gentleman. I almost fell for him too, I admit. But lucky for Peter because James Lee is gay to function.Running with a smile on my face, I get to the mansion where only we five happen to stay. Louis has his penthouse of course. That makes him available for his office work but at times, he likes to drop by.And you know the reason already."I'm home, Ms Zee!" I yell to my maid. As you can see, I am the only girl in the family and Mr Johnson never married any woman again because his wife ran away with a rich guy of those times.Fate had a lot on her plate for her because the guy she ran away with was impotent and seemingly a failure in business. Just two years younger than dad himself.Meanwhile, Dad began expanding his empire in revenge and later handed it over to Louis because obviously, my oldie was growing older day by day.Confused with her feelings, she demanded of him. She wanted to come back to dad and reclaim her position as Mrs Johnson but shit was too late. I told him once that if she ever was seen in front of me, I would slap her for him.Back to the scenario, Ms Zee welcomes me home as she sweetly kisses my forehead and I almost wag my imaginary tail."What have I got to eat today?""Oh well, Cassie-""I'll tell you what you have to eat for today, dear sister." The deep manly voice of the Spanish-decent man greets me. Gulping, I turn around to find the eldest of the brothers sitting on the couch, manspreading and all.Those gray sweatpants again..."Like the view, sister?" He points to the flowers sitting on the table in front of the couch but we damn well knew what he was talking about."Ms Zee. He's home. You may head back to your family, thank you." I say to Ms. Zee as she bows to me and walks away, closing the door behind herself.Louis was hiding the whiskey glass behind him as he sips on the drink with no rocks."Should I tell you to come here or you're coming on your own?" He says."I'm hungry, wait." Redirecting myself to the kitchen to grab myself a plate of what seems to be my favorite, I head over to the couch."Wrong seat, gorgeous." He says when I sit beside him. He pats on his thigh as I look at him with an expression."On me. Come on." He says and I knew I should not disobey the eldest one.Straddling his thighs as he holds my plate along with the whiskey, I am pulled closer while a squeak emits from my throat. I can say that he is hard enough to poke me through our clothes."It's not your day today, Louis," I say, thanking him as I take my plate and start eating. As he speaks, I am obliged to smell the disgusting smell of whiskey from his mouth as I turn my head away."Not every day is mine, but tomorrow is. That's why I'm here." He reminds me."Okay. Well, Alex is coming home soon." I say, watching the time to be 1:40. I have twenty minutes in hand."I know," I observe the smirk that grows on his face as I eat slowly, my appetite turning off because of the alcoholic smell and the fact that I might be late if I keep eating."I gotta go." Announcing, I begin to climb away from his lap but he retains the position as I fall back on his dense lap again."Eat. You're too skinny already."When I say I have such caring brothers in the world, this is what I mean."I heard that flaxseeds improve breast sizes in women. I brought a pack of it from the store today. Have a spoon every day.""I know. But I need to massage them to grow them or they will shrink because of the estrogen in them. Basic science fact." I say, tapping on his forehead as he irritatedly looks at me."What are we for then? You eat flax and we will massage your chest every day for you."Crap.Holy shit."Tell me why am I stopping myself from kissing you?""Because Alex is very possessive and he might walk in at any moment now." He says. I'm sure Louis has luck on his side because as soon as he says that, we hear the doorbell ring."One last bite. I made it for you.""Really? Thanks, Lu! Well, I'm off. Discard it for me please." I finally get back to my feet with my core sustainably wet.There was no need for me to present myself in fancy lingerie. I did not possess a set for myself either.Quickly getting on my fours after Louis goes to open the door, the brothers greet each other as I quickly remove all of my clothing and make Alex's room dark enough to set the mood.His door, however, has a code. Yes. He likes to keep his things private and only we both gave him the eligibility to enter the room."Is she in there?" His voice was way too close to the door and I hear him mention of me."She is. Have fun, but don't be too loud Alex. You hurt my ego.""Not my fault that she screams my name louder than any of you."Cassandra's POVDread was filling me whole. Zayn was seeing the same thing at the same time, but in different places. Mom wasn't home yet. And I was scared to death to be alone. Tears formed in my eyes as I texted with shaky hands. Me: Zayn...please come get me. Im so scared...Zayn: Already in the car. Keep texting me honey.Me: But you drive safe, pleaseAnd I kept texting him lines and words until he got here in 10 minutes. I opened the door for him, he didn't even have to knock. My arms flew across his neck and held him close. "Shush, Shush... " It's gonna be okay..." he assured me with a shaky voice and head looking around frantically from my shoulder. Poor, poor Zayn...he was just as scared as I, but he kept assuring me and hugged me gently. He stayed with me until 11pm, when my head braces and bandages were to be removed. He even helped me with the same. His hands moved as precisely, delicately as a surgeon. When the bandages came off, I felt the pressure relieved on my s
Cassandra's POV Mom had to come pick me up from campus again at 4 pm. Today, we go to a cosmetologist for the procedure. Technology had advanced. Especially in the medical field. However, I was checking my phone when my mom's call came through. "Hey, Mom. Where are you?" I asked, standing under the tree, in the same spot. I put her on speaker because no one was around and my phone was too warm to put on my cheek."Hey, sweetie. I'm stuck up at work! You don't mind going alone to the clinic right? I'll pick you up from the clinic! Lemme send you the money for a cab—" "Cab? Lemme drive you there, Cassie." I gasped and turned around to face Zayn. "Oh my god—! Don't scare me like that, Zayn! Well, mom...Zayn is here. He might take care of me. Don't worry about me!" I said, letting her know it was okay if she was late. "I'll keep her safe, Ms D'Angelo! Have fun at work!" Zayn chuckled at the end. Mom chuckled too, sighed as a little responsibility was off her shoulders. For now. "B
Cassandra's POV Horror would be an understatement. People in the hallways...were FIGHTING! Cat fights among the girls. Dog fights among the boys. Even Mark was involved, fighting two at once! One of the more nonchalant batch mate was passing by with his set of books as I stopped him by the arm, "Hey uh...I know I'm a bit late to school, but what did I miss?" The guy sighed, adjusted his spectacles, "Everyone thinks they're the assigned opponent to each other. One of the rules came out. It's based on merit compatibility and attribute scoring. Everything was digitalized from start of our academic year." My eyes widened. When did the rule come out!? "In case you're wondering about the rule, check out our infamous digital notice board. Bye bye." CRAZY! The digital notice board was in the basketball court, not in the hallway, in the court. I sprinted to it. Didn't realize there were hundreds of us there already! "This is nuts!" I cursed under my breath. It's okay, Cassie. Just
It was 2059. 1 out of 3 people has undergone surgery of any sort. However, doctors and aestheticians still charge a lot to change you and transform you into a new person. The aesthetician at Korgan-Morgan clinic was staring at me for the longest time possible. Mom didn't notice much. But I tried staring back at her and failed miserably in the 20-minute wait to meet the doctor. Finally, at the 23-minute mark, the same aesthetician called my name. She had a shrieky voice that reminded me of chalk on a blackboard from decades ago. We crossed the fancy holographic door that gave the doctor his privacy. He welcomed us with a smile. When I say I haven't seen such perfect skin on a man in a while, I mean it. "Good evening, Mrs D'Angelo. Can't tell who's the client here, haha!" He joked, easing us into the office. My mom laughed a little harder than needed, which was exactly what he wanted. After a brief talk, I told him what I wanted specifically. "I want a softer jawline, um..maybe h
Cassandra's POV I know...I know it very well. Zayn and I have barely met this lifetime. Compared to the rest of our lives together, we know very little about each other IN THIS LIFETIME. Zayn was watching the scene unfold just five students away in the line adjacent. He blinked rapidly to control himself. I couldn't have seen it, for Mark, Katrina and the others kept me occupied. Asked me questions. Tried figuring out our 'ulterior motives' for this newborn, out of nowhere rivalry. Finally, at 3:49pm, we got out of the campus. I wasn't at the library, so I didn't get the chance to borrow a few books I needed for the slip tests. That's what our professor told us. St. Xebec's academy had a notable range of online and offline books. The collection was so massive that it was once elected a national treasure. Once. I was sure those were all about politics. However, under the tree where I usually wait for my m
Cassandra's POV It was almost a foretelling of her friendship with the class. My classmates have been good all along. But I never expected them to butter their way into her circle. "Hey, I heard you're really good at sports! I'm a sports enthusiast myself, at the top of my class! I don't mind you recommending to my coach for the next women's football season. There'll be tryouts!" One girl was really milking it. "Thanks, really. But the coach already has my resume. I'll play with you soon." Katrina replied. I couldn't help but score a snort. "What's so funny, D'Angelo? Want me to stick my foot in your butt otherwise?" My eyes widened. The girl who got rejected didn't have to chew me out like that! "Hey, that's no way to talk to a classmate." Katrina corrected. "Wow...and she's someone with justice," Mark whispered beside me. We had a free class before the end of the day lecture in physics. Gossips were natural. However, just as Katrina was approaching us, a whole band of
