Immediately Cassie was rethinking everything she'd said as the silence was too much to bear. She was choking on the dark, swallowed up by her fears and past, never able to escape - until Blake reached out to her shoulder and made a hole in the cover. She flinched at first, but quickly relaxed -...

Eager now to get off the topic, she forced her shaky voice to work. "You want to hear the words?" Cassie said, feeling a sort of bitterness coming on now. She hated being this powerless against her feelings. She hated looking like a fool. She hated the lack of control she was displaying. She...

Blake's presence didn't surprise Cassie. She stayed silent for a minute before looking up a little to meet his eyes, biting back her tears. She gave a sadistic smile. "I don't know." She replied a little shakily, then bit her lip and turned her head. "I'm sorry. For all this drama." Cassie...

Jake's smug grin only escalated when Blake's temper made an appearance. He'd found the sweet spot, and he was definitely going to use it. It was like the good old days, seeing the spark in Blake's eyes like that. He kept his smirk and gaze directly on Blake, or at least as much as he could this...

Cassie followed Blake's finger and laughed with his implications. "Yeah, Maya doesn't really care about safety if you couldn't tell," she explained. "I keep it in moderation. It's good for a rush but not for anything past that. Tastes pretty good once you're used to it though." She pointed out...

Since the moment was ruined, Cassie didn't know how to rejuvenate it or even bring it up. She settled for letting it go, especially as the shot settled into her veins. Cassie gulped down some of the water and looked almost curiously at Blake. He didn't seem too shocked that she was able to...

Their closeness was absolutely perfect. Cassie's hands were on fire after she held onto Blake, and she wanted closer, more, all of the above. That was beginning to be all she could think about - getting closer, feeling more, making one more step. His eyes drove her crazy, and his hair was just...

Blake's amusement spurred Cassie on, trying new things and sweeping her hair away from her face. Her smile didn't seem to falter, as the music picked up its tempo. Blake leaned in, and Cassie held her breath in anticipation. His comment, right next to her, sent chills down her spine, and her...

Cassie was pleasantly surprised by Blake's dancing. He wasn't awkward or stiff, and he seemed to know how he needed to move. She smirked, wondering whether he'd practiced this. She knew she had, but from being at other parties. There was something about music when it surrounded her, made her...

Blake's slightly shy smirk sent Cassie's heart flipping in midair. Normally she'd probably hesitate, but tonight she decided to take Blake up on his offer. "I dance, but you can't judge me on my skill level." She chuckled. "AP students can't be good at everything in the world." With the alcohol...

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. So chivalrous," she laughed. Cassie led Blake to her very excited best friend, who was practically jumping up and down. "Hi Blake! I'm Maya. This is my date Jared, I'm sure you know him." While Jared was as mindless as Jake and his best friend, he was never outwardly mean...

Cassie spotted Blake before he saw her. She and Maya had been loosening up. Maya's date had shown up and gotten them all shots. Just one thing Blake didn't know about Cassie was that she could handle alcohol. Maya was a horrible influence on her as a teenager. In middle school, Cassie did just...

Cassie recieved Blake's confirmation text with a smile. Considering she didn't have much to do that day, she called Maya and they went out. Maya, of course, was psyched for the party and needed a new dress... And pair of shoes... And eye shadow, and look at that cute necklace, Cassie! She ended...

Cassie sat and waited until her phone buzzed again, and scooped it up. She read the first message, and to her disappointment it didn't stop her blood from flowing too fast. It might've even made it faster, her adrenaline catching up to her. She began to analyze the invitation she'd sent...

Cassie pulled out the blue dress from her closet and admired it, holding it up to herself. She was sure it would fit, and she was imagining the accessories she could pair with it. She'd probably pull her hair up. She was thinking a messy bun, with hair framing the sides of her face. Her hair...

Cassie cringed when she got the text back, having predicted its contents. His humor still made her smile, but she still felt dumb. "Crap! Sorry." She began the message. "I was rudely awakened this early as well, and neglected to think of the time before I went to ask you something."...

Cassie woke up to her phone buzzing relentlessly on her dresser. It was eight in the morning, which Cassie groaned at. It wasn't specifically early, but she liked to sleep in until at least 9 on the weekends. Annoyed, she whipped her phone closer to her face so she could see as her eyes...

Azalea couldn't help but slightly cringe at his use of the curse word. Growing up in a castle the way she did, she had scarcely heard speech like that. She only heard it a few times from her father, when he was so mad it was dangerous to be by him. Nevertheless, she was relieved to find that...

Cassie wrapped her painting up for the night. After a long couple of days, she decided that some more sleep was in order. She told Maya to stop freaking out so she could go to bed, and then gave Blake a last text. She took a minute to phrase it perfectly, and then sent it off. "I'm glad to...

Azalea knew that Lothar's reaction would be harsh before she even left the castle. Her hood still perched on her head (she didn't want to let her bright, attention-attracting hair out) she held her chin high with confidence. She didn't seem too arrogant, she just needed to show that his slight...
