Forbidden Love

Chapter 6

By the time I got home, it was almost five, I had texted Cassie to come over, whilst me and Nathaniel walked home, so me and Cassie can hang out. By the time I reached my house, Cassie already came. Me and Nathaniel said our byes, and went our separate ways.

"Guess what I tried?" I yell, unlocking the door and closing it behind me. "The world's best slushy of course!" I yell again, to everyone, at the same time no one.

Kicking my chucks off and taking my hijab off, I walk into the kitchen. "And it was great!" I yell.

"What's with the yelling?" I hear my mom's voice slightly yelling, as she walks into the kitchen.

I turn around. "Oh hey mummy dearest, I'm hungry. Is Cassie here?" I ask.

She shoos me out the kitchen, "Yes Cassie is here, go and get changed, and I'll bring you guys some food in a bit, Cassie's in the garden."

"Okay." I say, before swinging upstairs to get changed. I put on an oversized hoodie, and leggings, considering I wasn't going anywhere, so I didn't have to look decent. I jump downstairs and make my way to the garden.

"Hey Cassie." I say as I take a seat near her, she was sunbathing in my garden.

"I love your garden, why do you even have such a big pool if you won't swim in it?" She pulls her shades down to her nose.

"My dad works till late at night, leaves in the afternoon, so he's pretty much out, brother's either at college or work or out, moms usually at work, so I'm alone at home, so I can use the pool." I grin widely. Cassie rolls her eyes, but she was smiling.

After a few minutes of us relaxing, mom got us some snacks.

"Right, tell me who this mystery person you're in love with" I wriggle my eye brows, and chuckle. Cassie's eyes go wide, "What? You don't think I forgot did you?" I laugh hysterically. It was fake.

"So go on tell me." I nudge her playfully.

She stops smiling for a second and pauses. I do the same. Have I hit a nerve?

"I'm sure you notice how I don't really stay with anyone but you?" She said softly. I nodded. "It's, because only three weeks ago the girls I used to be friends with, they sent naked picture of me to everything, like I swear I didn't know they took." She puts her hands up in defence.

I already knew. "I believe you. Who were the girls?" I ask, trying to sound like I just found out now.

"Lacey's group. Everything's still raw, so I didn't want to make friends or anything, until you came." She smiled.

"People like that make me sick." I sigh, understanding her loneliness.

"And," She pauses for a second. "The reason why she did that was, because," She sighs, looking up at me with a frown.

"Tell me, I won't judge." I smile, squeezing her arm.

"It sounds quite pathetic, but I started liking a nerd." She rolls her eyes, covering her face with her palms.

I have a huge smile on my face, and try to contain my laughter, but some sounds of laughter slips.

"Don't laugh at me! I couldn't help it!" She frowns.

I laugh even more. "No, I'm laughing, because you're embarrassed, girl you have nothing to be ashamed of." I grin.

"Lacey liked him as well." Cassie looks away.

"No way!" My mouth turns into an 'O' shape.

"Yeah! And she's dating Dylan Parker, the quaterback. She won't break up with him, nor would she want anyone dating Jacob - the nerd boy." She growls. I get her frustration.
