Sorry for the wait. I have finals. CASSY's POV "Wait. Back track. Did you just say that you're in the hospital? ." I couldn't believe my ears, what was this? "Yeah." his voice cracked, "Uh, my sister, the one who had drug overdose..? She well, um, got a lil' crazy, I guess. We were planning to put her into an asylum, but well..." I pressed the phone deeper into my ear. C'mon, Xander, spit it out. "...she escaped." I sat there, frozen, "Um, what? What do you mean escaped?" I heard him take a sharp breath, "I mean, she ran away." My eyebrows shot to the sky, "Wha..?" "Um. Yeah. So we can't file a missing person's case yet so I just fixing up all the documents and everything." he sighed. I could see the dark grey rings probably encircling his eyes now. I have never met Xander's sister. Her name was Alison Jade, and she looked like Xander, from what he told me. There was some shuffling in the background, and I heard someone call Xander's name. "Ah..Cassy? I have to go. I'm so sorry for missing our date, I'll male it up to you, I promise." I heard the sincerity in his voice. "Okay.." I said quietly. "Bye Cass. I love you." the line went dead, and I was left there staring at the phone. Did he..? Was that....? I love you....? "I love you too." I breathed, certain that he knew it. "I cannot take another second of that horrid girl." Brittany suddenly appeared beside me, flipping her blond hair back. She proceeded to tying her shoes like I was doing. "Auvrey? I haven't seen her in a while." my brow furrowed. It's true. The halls had been Auvrey-free recently; it was odd. "Puh-lease. That girl has as much plans up her sleeve as I have Gucci bags. And that, is a lot " Brittany darted her eyes, keeping her guard up. I straightened my back, "I don't think she's in school today." "You never know." Brittany whispered. I smirked and followed Brittany into the gym, where everyone was assembled. "Okay, girls." Mr. Daniels said, looking each of us in the eye; some of the girls fluttered their eyelashes, Coach Daniels was obviously, without a doubt, hot. "Today we're doing volleyball." he tossed the volleyball he had been carrying up in the air, and caught it with one hand. Some of the girls gave him an applause. "Now everyone-" The door flew open, and a shadow stepped in. "Oh, Mr. Daniels, I'm ready!" I saw Brittany clench her teeth, "*****." she muttered. "Ah, okay, Auvrey." Mr. Daniels offered her a smile, and other girls glared at her, "Everyone pair up!" I felt Brittany grab my arm. None of Brittany's drones had this class; and Abi and Ginny didn't either. "Let's beat the **** outta her." Brittany smiled evily. Mr. Daniels blew his whistle, "Okay...first up, Brittany and Cassy and...Auvrey and Santana." Ooooooof course.
