[ what I think when I look at a lot of people.... ]
IN SCIENCE, CARTER and Jordan chat the whole time.
"What do you think of it Cass?" Carter asks when Jordan walks to get the equipment we need
"Think of what?" I ask
"The Ed Sheeran album?" she prompts, "you know, X?"
"Oh I totally forgot!" I gasp
I forgot because of everything going on. Because I'm too busy stepping in as my little sister's mother and carer.
"It's really good! I think that Bloodstream is the best." She says, "I have it, if you want I can give it to you."
"Oh that'd be cool!" I smile
"It's in my bag. I'll give it to you after class. You can put it on your phone and give it back tomorrow." she smiles
"Thanks." I grin
"So what are we talking about?" Jordan asks, reappearing and dumping an armful and sciency stuff on the bench
"Ed Sheeran." Me and Carter say at the same time
"The amazing" I start
"Ginger" Carter puts in
"Godly"
"Angelic."
"Romantic."
"Cute."
"Perfect."
"Talented."
"British singer."
"Wow I'm feeling self conscious now." Jordan chuckles, "I don't really like him though."
"How could you not?!" Carter gasps
"I dunno. Not really my cup of tea." He shrugs, screwing his freckled nose up
Which is really cute...
"You're a weird boy." I say, rolling my eyes and picking up a bottle which has a weird powder in it
I just don't mention that I like weird.

On the bus home, for some strange reason, Tia is on it.
I sit beside her.
"Uh. I'm sorry about dating Louis." I say softly, "I honestly didn't know."
"It's okay." she shrugs, "I shouldn't have just expected you to know. I overreacted too."
"No. I guess it hurt you." I sigh
"It did. But I've now realized that, in the big scale of life, it didn't really matter too much." she says
"I kind of miss him." I say, looking out the window, "Louis was nice."
"Yeah. I have my eye on someone else now..." She giggles
I swear my group is way too boy obsessed but anyway. Whatever floats their boats.
Once they get a boyfriend, they'll probably get sick of it soon.
"Who?" I ask, tuning to her
Her cheeks blush a light pink and her blue eyes scan the ground.
"C'mon, spill!" I giggle, elbowing her in the side gently
"Okay, promise not to tell anyone though okay?" she asks
"I won't." I promise
"Fine. I kinda like Jordan." she mumbles quietly
