And I Can't Love You Back

CHAPTER 1: Cassey Roberts

It's May. My school year has officially ended and my summer vacation is about to start. I'm currently an incoming 12th grader student and honestly I don't want to study anymore. Being a student is really stressful and I think it's not suited for a person like me to study. My professors love giving away lots of homework, and pressuring us with all those deadlines that we have to catch up on. I can't help but cry sometimes. And that statistics class I'm in is such a pain in my butt, I really hate computing. But it's ironic that I finished my 11th grade as one of the honor students in our class. How about a round of applause, eh? I'm quite shocked because I don't really put lots of effort when it comes to my academic performance. Honestly, I don't see myself as a very smart pupil but I don't think I'm dumb either. Anyway, I'm glad that the school year is totally over and its time for me to be refreshed. By the way, I'm Cassey Roberts and I am 17 years of age.

I have tons of friends at school. I have this group of friends that consists of girls only, I also have this group of friends where they're mixed boys and girls. My group of friends that has boys in it is much more fun to be with than that of girls only.

I think it's because boys act more funny than girls, weirder than girls, and sometimes (or maybe often) they act more stupid than girls; and they also tend to protect the girls in the group from harm at all times especially during hangouts.

Well honestly, I was crushing on this friend of ours named Vincent but of course I never tell.

I completely don't tell to anyone and just keep it to myself for the sake of the group and our friendship. He's not that type of a looker, he looks very regular with his short dark hair and tanned skin but I developed my feelings for him because he's humorous, and very protective. I don't know why but I just feel safe and secured at our hangouts when he's with us. Sometimes I also imagine how happy my life would be if I married him but that will never happen. I don't think he'll like me back. He probably likes Hannah, a friend of ours also.

I suddenly remembered the time when we all climbed up the mountains and there are so many cow poop bombs on our way up and it's all really huge! But he picked up a cow's shit just to make us all laugh. Seriously, it stinks like hell and nobody among us came close to him that day after what he did because were all afraid that he might wipe it on our shirts. How pitiful when he's only intention was to make us laugh but that's what he got in return. What happened that day was a lot like the "Cheese Touch" in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Wait a sec, I don't mean that an all-girl group of friends is boring but sometimes we just talk about trendy make-ups and outfits, skin care routines, cheesy k-dramas that make us cringe, cute boys and gossip about other girls in school. Sometimes we also try to copy the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, the way they walk and talk, and take perfect-angled selfies on snapchat, but we all failed to do so and end up looking like ugly duckling faces, so we just laughed about it. We're all pretty in our own ways anyway.

But what I appreciate a lot when I am with my girlfriends is the intimate talks that you can't do with the boys; in this kind of conversation, you get to say the things that you keep inside and overreact about it or even cry but they'll understand because they're girls too.

As of now, my family is undergoing a crisis. We're quite short of money and I really don't know what to do. My family is very small, it only consists of me, my mom, and my brother Simon who's 3 years older than I am, but he's quite a dork and I literally act and think way more matured than him. Our parents are already divorced when I was 13 and I haven't seen my dad for like 4 years now. So ever since then, my mom lived her life as if she's a single parent to my brother and I. My dad left, never called. He doesn't even give us any alimonies so I guess he really just don't care for us anymore.

Due to shortage of my family's money, my mom decided to sell our own house and resign at her current job. She decided to move into Granny's at the countryside this summer to start over with our lives.
