"I can't believe it," Cassie looked to Jessica at her sudden outburst. "I used to hate you didn't I?" Cassie let out a small laugh.
"Yeah, so much so that we even got into a fight over something stupid." She explained.
"That's right... I still don't believe I got that upset though."
"Really?" Jessica nods. "Don't make me tell the story because I will."
"Go ahead, but I know I barely did anything wrong." Cassie scoffed and began to tell the story.
...
Cassie sat at her desk hoping that she could head straight home and start writing the idea she had written down during class. She held the folded paper in her hands as the teacher went on about their lesson.
"Alright class, be sure you check that your work is done correctly. We'll go over it tomorrow and I'm expecting answers." Everyone nodded and then the bell rang letting them finally leave.
Cassie normally took her time because she lived only a small distance away from the school, so she'd be home in no time. Cassie got her bag and was about to put in her earbuds when she saw two girls approach her. She looked up and saw Jessica and a girl she had come to know was friends with Jessica but what was her name again?
"Did you do like we said?" Cassie sat there with a blank expression on her face. "The bitch didn't!" Jessica got in Cassie's face, "We told you to tell Akihiko that you don't like him." But that would be a lie, and I don't wanna go to Hell like you are. "So what gives? Do you think you can actually confess to him?" Jessica laughs, "Even if you do, he won't like someone like you anyways."

"Yeah, you barely look like a girl and Akihito likes women." The other girl said.
"I don't talk to him." Cassie finally came out and said.
"Bullshit, we see you whenever he comes up to you." Keywords are important here. "So, since you didn't listen to me I guess I have to keep my promise." Cassie sighed and got up as the two girls forced her to the roof of the school.
There, Cassie and Jessica were left alone and Jessica stood staring at her.
"Why haven't you listened to me?" Cassie simply shrugged, "You bitch! You're ruining everything and that goody two shoes act you're putting up is starting to get annoying!"
"I'm not acting like anything." Cassie said.
"Well then you really are just a bitch." Cassie said nothing. "We worked out that you would reject Akihiko and you still haven't done that. I told you he doesn't like you!" Cassie sighed.
"Jessica, I really don't know why you're lying."
"The hell are you talking about?"
"I heard something the other day. That Akihiko's rejected you already." Jessica had an expression of hurt for a second, but then it turned into a smirk.
"I bet Leigh told you that. Probably to get in your pants. So what, did you sleep with him already?" Cassie just stared at Jessica.
"Jessica... Akihiko doesn't like you and I'm not the reason why." She paused and began to approach Jessica. "You're really pretty, but you have a shit personality. Akihiko has liked me for forever and I doubt if he'll change his mind because some thirsty girl is after him."
"What did you-"
"Let me finish. Akihiko is never going to like you because of how horrible you are. He's told me you remind him of his step father."

"H-he did?" Jessica then shook her head violently, "You're fucking lying! You're just saying that to get with Aki!"
"Why? I have no need to be in a relationship with him. I'm a nervous wreck and I ignore him to get him to leave me alone, but he always comes back himself." Jessica looked up, "If you two could date I would let that happen. Trust me, I tried, but he just doesn't like you... that or he likes me more." Jessica covered her ears.
"I don't want to hear it!" Jessica crouched and Cassie soon heard her crying. "T-this is your fault! I have no one and I could have Aki but you... you!" Jessica couldn't finish that, Cassie stared at her before walking over and helping her to stand. Cassie embraced Jessica and let her cry on her shoulder.
"Jessica... I don't know what's up with your home life, but stop being a bitch about it and move on." Jessica pulled back and saw Cassie's face.
"W-what?"
"You're not deaf, you heard me." Cassie separated from her, "I really did try to get him to leave me alone, so if you're gonna get mad and harass anyone, do it to Akihiko!" Jessica stared at her. She then felt a smile come up to her face
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jessica began to laugh and eventually she returned to normal. "So... Aki keeps coming back to you?"
"I don't talk so what do you think?" Jessica laughed and nodded. She then let out a sigh.
"Man... but what am I gonna do now?"
"Well if it makes you feel any better, Mr. Seko is always staring at you." Cassie said.
"H-huh?"
"Yes, you don't notice it because you're always looking at me. He tries to talk to you but you always leave before he can." Jessica stared down and said nothing. "But if this is over, I'll be leaving." Cassie moved to leave the roof when Jessica called out to her.
"You act like you don't want Akihiko... So if you don't Leigh actually kind of likes you. I didn't just say that before." Cassie suddenly made a face and turned back instantly.
"He does?" Jessica nodded, "N-no that can't be true!" Cassie began to panic while taking deep breaths. "I knew he was acting too nice! Guys always do that; they're really nice to you then they expect to fuck in return!" Cassie said all this to herself meanwhile Jessica just stared at her. She eventually decided to interrupt the babbling.
"Seriously. What the hell is wrong with you?"
"This is why I don't talk! Guys who like me are always really weird to me, then I catch feelings and they... they... I don't know, but something always happens!" Jessica watched her before letting out a laugh.
"Wow, I had you completely wrong." Cassie looks at her, "But how about we let this be water under the bridge and I help you with this... problem of yours. Well, if it's even really a problem."
"It is!" Cassie exclaimed.
"Sure, for now why don't we talk about it and you can tell me more about Mr. Seko."
