Cassie.
Blaring music, drinks, and wild dancing were what awaited me when Sansa, Trixie, and I finished getting ready and made our way towards where this party was supposed to be located. I was still trying to wrap my mind around how this place worked, but for the most part, it wasn't too much different from the home I had left.
Feeling confident in my outfit, I walked into the school with my head held high. The last thing I was going to do was let my little stunt from earlier prevent me from enjoying myself. Perhaps I had made a spectacle of myself, and maybe I did make out with Lucas.
But that wasn't too bad, and now I'd be prepared. Right?
"Oh, wow!" a tall lavender-haired girl said with sparkling blue eyes. "Trixie, you guys look amazing."
I didn't have the slightest clue who this girl was, but as Trixie leaned in, giving her a hug, I figured they knew each other well so didn't bother to say anything. "Hey Prim, I didn't think Mom was going to let you come."
Prim shrugged her shoulders with a smile. "She changed her mind."
"You mean you snuck out?" Trixie replied with laughter before both girl's gazes turned towards me. "This is my friend Cassie."
Prim's eyes gazed over my body, taking in what I was wearing. She looked quite young, much younger than I and Trixie. "Hey."
After a few more moments and a quiet smile, she quickly turned and disappeared into the crowd, her head bobbing up and down as she moved to the beat of the music, following in with all of the dancing taking place. When Trixie looked back at me from where her sister had once just disappeared, she seemed amused by the entire situation.
