-On hold- A school.A crush. *Hayes Grier fanfic*

Cassidy

*|~RECAP~|*

I place my books in my new locker and proceed to the lady's room, carrying the suitable clothes for the period.

*|~RECAP OVER~|*

Well hello again guys. Sorry if i am taking so long to update but I have a busy life to attend to. Umm.. I kinda uploaded pics for every character on the previous chapters. So Cassidy's pic is on the right ------------------>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

*|~Belle's PoV~|*

I am putting my swimming suit on, ready for P.E.. I finish and head to the pool.

"You're late." The teacher disappointedly looks at me from above the rim of her glasses.

"Miss! Miss!" A girl barges in. "Someone stumbled backwards and her nose is now bleeding."

"I'll deal with you later.." she tells me. Her eyes are not laughing at all.

"What happened?" I ask the girl; her dirty blonde locks falling out from her beanie.

"Umm..my classmate fell," she replies, pointing out the obvious.

"Oh, did anything happen to her?" I pause."By the way, what's your name?" I interrupt myself with another question , not giving

her a chance to speak.

"Cassidy. Hey, you are the new girl, right? Umm.. Elle?" she says curiously.

"Close enough. Belle, short for Isabelle." She continues asking me questions.

I jump into the swimming pool, recognizing that the conversation is over. She is such a sweet person.

*|~Cassidy's PoV~|*

I dive into the water after her. Her aqua-blonde hair floating. She is a pretty good swimmer. We race to the finish line and she

wins. After all, I was more into soccer. We do two laps in a row and get out of the water.

"Yo..your'e ama..amazing. You m..ust be so good at sp..orts," I tell her, trying to catch my breath.

"Nahh..I'm just good at swimming that's all. Probably, the only one thing I succeed at, in sports."

"So..what's it like there? Er..you know..in the other school?"

She looks up at me, grabbing her attention. I can see the discomfort in her cold blue eyes. They don't even have a sprinkle of

joy in them. They looked like the ones who called help everyday. If you get me..

Or even the ones which suffered from pain, hiding it with a feign smile. Belle keeps her head down, all the time. I mean she

might be just faking it all. The joy and the laughs. Her expressions or look doesn't really.. I don't know...show her true

feelings? But, her eyes says it all. I am afraid if I ask her something, I would push her away.

"Hey, uh..we have lunch right now. I was wondering if you want to hang out with us, maybe?" I ask through my gritted teeth,

changing the subject.

"That's okay for me, but I don't want to bother you or anything. I mean your friends might not be cool with it or anything," she

curls her lips.

"Come on." I grab her hand, forcing her to follow my steps." I'm sure they won't mind. Don't worry."

"You sure?" She rolls her eyes and smiles. I gave her the death stare, assuring her that everything's going to be okay.

*|~Belle's PoV~|*

Something about her makes me think that she's the right friend. I am anxious of what her friends would think about me.

We fill our trays with the cafeteria launch and carry on to a table.

"Cass!" A girl waves at her, putting her tray on a specific table. We approach her. The girl looks at me and back at Cassidy.

"Oh Chloe, this is Belle. Belle, Chloe." I sit down, unable to find a topic to start with.

I find Cassidy completely distracted and staring dreamily at a guy. He is a brunette with green eyes, like Chlodea.

"You should go talk to him," I smirk.

"Huh? Oh no. That is not what it looks like..hehe.. Okay fine, this is what it looks like. It's just he is one of the popular people in

this school. He has a girlfriend. Plus, it's not like he would ever like a loser like me."

"What the hell? You're awesome. And, if he won't like a girl like you then he isn't worth a thing," I say.

"Yeah, I actually agree with her. She's right," Chloe says.

"Hey guys, whatcha talking about?" There he is, the guy with the wheat hair, as all of you know him as Blake. His eyes brushes

mine just as I sit there leering at him in the eyes like an idiot. Until, Chlodea(aka Chloe) nudges me. "Sorry, I was just wondering where I've

seen him before," I try to backup my action with a white lie. My cheeks are burning. What's up with me and the lies these days.

"Oh, hi again," he says. " umm..English.. you are sitting next to me."

"Right." He perches next to me.

"I see you guys have already met." Cassidy chuckles and waves her hand across Blake's eyes this time, gesturing him to sit down.

We all laugh and talk for sometime. He looks at me and I turn, avoiding eye contact.

" Well, thank you for letting me sit with you at launch. I really have to go to my house. It is my first day and I only have these

courses for today." I push my chair back, standing up. I hug Cassidy and Chlodea. I pause at Blake's turn, unaware what to do. He

leans in for a hug, when I involuntarily reach out my hand for his , cutting him from completing his action. I scratch my

forehead. My cheeks as red as ketchup. Okay, maybe not that much of a red, but well who cares.

He leaves me hanging my hand in the air awkwardly. My throat is now dry. He finally reaches out his

hand and phew, he shakes it. I look around me to see Chloe and Cass raising their eyebrow with

crossed arms. Wow, is it just me or it takes that long to shake someone's hand. You don't have to

answer that. " Er..hehe..I thought you were going to...uh.." I sigh under my breath, not in

relief, though. " Yeah uhh..I understand..yeah,'' He rubs the back of his neck confused.

"Hey want me to walk you home," his words slips out of his mouth without noticing. " I mean uh...um.. cause

your house is near mine."

Well that's it for now. I really hope you liked this chap. I'm gonna try updating asap. I'm writing this at the last minute,
just for you guys. Now bye.

Thankyou,
