Childhood Crush [Part 1- Complete]

Chapter 14 (Cassy's ultimate fandomness)

It has been more than a year. Cassy was now a college student, taking up Theatre arts and Languages. James and Cassy never got to have their closure. After her confession to her parents, the next day she went to his house but then she saw him with his new girlfriend. Her courage failed her. Her mouth went dry and she couldn't speak. She was afraid that he would ignore her the way she ignored him.

She tried to talk to him again on the day of his graduation but the only thing she managed to say was good luck on his college life. James was disappointed too, and on her third attempt to patch things up between them. She found out that his mother has sent him to the Philippines to study his college there and they didn't even got to say goodbye.

For a month all Cassy did was lock herself up in her room all day and stare at the emptiness, the emptiness in her heart. He knew how she hated goodbyes, so he left a bridge necklace to honour the memory that they had when she said yes to him on the bridge of Souk Shark. He left it with CJ, leaving a note; I may have burned the bridge down between us so I could protect you, for that I am sorry. I hope someday you'll use that same bridge to be happy again. I love you Cassandra.

After that she told her parents she wanted to study in Paris to learn theatre arts and languages more in depth and somehow to also escape her pain. Her parents eventually allowed her after a much debate. In one condition, she has to have one maid with her and they'll send CJ there too after he graduates from high school.

Along with her decisions, Luna came along wither her and since Mimi was already studying in there for Social work, they had a reunion. Unfortunately Helen decided she'd study at the Philippines too to be with her handsome boyfriend--- Kevin Brooks in the same school with James.

Cassy wake up! Mon deau!" (**My God in French) Luna has quickly adapted to the language of France since she was taking up fashion and she really loved the language too. Cassy slept like a log. Luna gave up, "Mimi! You try!" she fixed herself.

Mimi was already wearing her uniform. She smiled mischievously, running towards Cassandra and did a canon ball on her, instantaneously waking Cassy up.

"Oh good gosh Mimi!" Cassy groaned, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Well you asked for it. You'll be late for class Cassy messy." She teased.

"Hey! That's an old nickname Chuckie used to call me, when I was really really young."

"Uh-huh! That's why I'm using it. Cute eh?"

Cassy rolled her eyes, suddenly her face distorted into a canon ball when she remembered that Chuck Morris has a fan signing today. "OMG!" she freaked out, running towards the bathroom. Mimi stared at Luna, she pointed at the encircled ate on Cassy's calendar.

"Ahh... Chuck Morris huh?" that explains why.

"Yep"

Ever since her heartbreak, her fandom for Chuck Morris has worsened. Somehow she liked him because he look like the Chuck Montrey she once knew, who was also her first heartbreak for never coming back. IT took her years to admit that even to herself. Cassy quickly dress up and left their apartment. "CASSY! Don't forget we'll have lunch together later." Luna texted her. Mimi weirdly stared at her, "What?"

"Really? Why didn't you remind her of her class?" Mimi grabbed her bag.

"Well, you know very well she'll cancel it all for Chuck Morris. Well Au Revoir!" (**See you later)

Please please let it be me! She thought desperately as she put her name for the draw lot of Chuck Morris. Whoever is placed will get to have a date with him and a free kiss. She walked towards the long line. She had a copy of his new movie; Hang up 5. She can't believe it! She was finally going to see him again after two years since their disastrous prom. At that time she didn't even got any chance to enjoy her moment with her celebrity crush since she was having her own drama. Too bad, she had a bookshelves solely dedicated to him.

She liked him not only because he was a good actor, he also writes about novels. Currently he had just released his new one. Her fanaticism about him only lessened during the time she was still with James but now that it was over, she was free.

Her face distorted when an announcer suddenly spoke just when she was the 400th person on the line. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to announce but Chuck Morris had to leave for an emergency. He sends his most sincere apology and promises to meet you all again next time."

The fans of Morris cried, some threw stones at the sage, some went wild but as for Cassy she decided to go to lunch with her friends.

They saw Cassy's sad face. "Hey babe! You got to meet Morris?" Luna asked while sipping her tea, and then she flipped her red hair back making the observer of her gasp in admiration for her beauty. Cassy slumped on the chair, "He had to go to an emergency." She said. Mimi putted her hands on her for comfort, "That's okay Cassy messy, there's still a next time."

"Hello, is this Miss Cassandra Monroe?"

Cassy rubbed her eyes, it was still 6am. Good lord who could be calling at this unholy hour? "Yes sir!" she answered sleepily. It was the weekend so all the girls were sleeping in their respective rooms. They had the right to be lazy today.

"Well congratulations Miss Cassandra! You won!" the voice cheerfully announced.

"Huh? Won?"

The voice chuckled, "I guess you're still half asleep miss. You won the date for Chuck Morris draw lots!"

Her mind clicked. She started jumping around her bed like a crazy little girl who had her Christmas gift early. She ran to the rooms of the girls and woke them up by jumping on their beds. She was totally freaking out.

"Uh Miss Monroe? Are you still there?" the voice on the other end asked.

"Yes! Yes I am!" she answered breathlessly.

"Well by tomorrow around the same time, you have to go to La'amour restaurant, in-front of the Eiffel tower. He'll be meeting you there."

She blinked, "6 Am?"

"Why is there something wrong? It's the only time he's available. We who chose 3 lucky girls! You're date was scheduled in the morning, when lunch start, another girl then when it's dinner, another girl."

She felt a bit disappointment at the pit of her stomach, "No! It's fine! Merci Beaucoup monsieur!" (**Thank you very much sir)
