Opposites

The Bickering

The next day, Cassie wakes up early in the morning preparing for the trip to all the businesses. She goes downstairs and sees her sister making breakfast... she's never done this unless she wanted something which gets Cassie suspicious.

"Hey, I made your pancakes."
"Er, thanks,"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"What do you want?"
"I am so insulted that you would think I cooked in the kitchen just because I want something. Of course, I do Cassie."
"Let's hear it then."
"Look I know it's not convenient especially with the state of your job but I need to stay here longer."
"How many more days?"

Emily looks down trying to meet her eyes.

"Weeks?"

Still no response.

"Months?"
"I promise after everything's good, I will leave and let you have your peaceful apartment back in the best state."
"Fine."

Cassie couldn't care less that Emily's staying longer but in fact, she unknowingly likes company. I would if I was isolated for 5 years. I mean jeez she doesn't even know who lives next door. Aside from criticising Cassie's life choices, we know that she is super stressed out about her job... and well Jason too as a matter of fact. Emily can sense the stress she proceeds to ask about it.

"Why are you so quiet, I just told you I'm going to be living in your apartment for a few months, probably wrecking the place... not that I'm actually going to wreck the place."

Cassie puts her head in her hands as if she just wants the world to come to a halt.

"I'm sorry it's just work, speaking of I need to get going, thanks for the breakfast"
"Hey before you go, I know you're working really hard and the stress is getting to you, but I know you and you're going to do just fine... did that help."

Cassie smiles- that's actually the first time in ages something her sister has said something to make her smile. They usually don't get along but for the sake me and my narration, I'm glad they are. Anyways Cassie leaves her apartment ready to go with Jason but as usual... he's late. And I was rooting for him.

"Ugh, where is he."

Low and behold, he's finally here... in the jankiest car, I've ever seen. Jason, what the heck were you thinking. Cassie's taken back by this, I don't know who wouldn't be. Also in nature's favourite colour... brown.

"Hey sorry I'm late, I was picking up some snacks."

Snacks aside, the car is trashed with wrappers and ... all sorts.

"Hey, are you sure you don't want me to drive, in my car, from behind."
"Don't be silly, there's no point in us going separately, plus you know what they say, save the planet."
"Erhuh"

Cassie gets into the car. If only there was a way to sit in the car... without actually sitting in it.

"Are you ready?"
"Just drive please."

Jason starts his engine which doesn't actually start. Amazing.

"Just wait a second it.. will..start"
"One of these days."

Jason gets out the car and opens the front to his surprise, not mine, is met by a puff of black smoke. Jason doesn't even attempt to touch it, he goes to the passenger side to inform Cassie about the situation but she's not there. In fact, she's already gotten her car out and is waiting for him.
