And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 328

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.

Startled by the deep, intoxicating voice, I quickly sat up in the hammock and turned to face a man I had never seen before in my life. He was incredibly sexy, with dark chocolate brown hair, penetrating bluish green eyes and a white smile that literally felt like it had its own spotlight. Even his body was toned to perfection, his chest on display with the four top buttons of his shirt completely open. I was ogling him, of course, and the dark patterns of tattoos that crossed over his left pec made me bite my bottom lip with wonder.

"Gorgeous?" I chuckle to myself. "Why is it that someone like you is out here worrying about someone like me?"

Yes, I was being vague, but I wanted to know who he was. After all, he could be someone to have fun with. I know I wouldn't mind having fun with him.

"Changing the subject, I see," he replied with a smirk as he stepped closer.His eyes gazing down at me, making my heart race with every single step he made in my direction. "I came out here to get some fresh air. The girls inside tend to be overwhelming."
