Chapter 13

"What about Gabriella?" Cassandra asked

"She's with James" Liam replied

"Oops... Didn't see you..." Kate said as she deliberately spilled her drink on Cassandra.

"Then You should be careful next time" Cassandra replied calmly.

"Hey, are you ok? Let go you need to clean up or better still change" Liam said.

"Oh my Liam, You are not suppose to mingle with stinking people like that " Kate said loudly that most students turn to look at Cassandra and Liam. At this point, Cassandra felt embarrassed. No... That's not her, she always stand up for herself so what's going on?

"Kate, I guess you should take your drugs before this mental problem of hour's becomes worst" Liam retorted loud enough for others to hear. Before Cassandra could even put what was going on around her together, Liam carried in his arms like a little princess that needs protection and left. Kate stood there feeling so embarrassed that she couldn't even look at the people around her.

"What just happened?" Kenneth said standing next to Kate.

"You dummy,... You should have shown up earlier... You are just a lazy pig that is good at ruining things for people" Kate replied angrily and left.

"You are the stupid one here for talking that loud..." Kenneth said looking at Kate as she walked away.

....

"Let's go, I'm done " Cassandra said coming out of the studio after changing.

"Here" Liam said giving her another drink.

"Thank You" she said collecting it.

"Do You mind if we just hang out here together for now?" Liam asked with a hopeful look.

"Ok...." Was all Cassandra could reply.

After a while of silently walking around, Liam spoke...

"Can I ask you a question?" He asked.

"Sure" Cassandra replied.

"Do You have a boyfriend?" He asked and Cassandra choked on her drink.

"I'm.... Sorry for that. I don't have a boyfriend. Why did you ask?" She said.

"Nothing..." He replied.

"So... What about the girl you said you like... Are you guys dating?" She asked.

"Not yet... I have not confessed my feelings, but I will soon do that." He replied smiling.

"Let's go to Gabriella and James" Cassandra said after a while of silence.

"Ok... Let's go" Liam replied.

....

"Do You have a crush on someone?" James asked Gabriella looking serious.

"I don't think so... Why did you ask?" Gabriella replied.

"Because.... Uhmmm nothing..." James replied nervously.

"I can remember you saying you know of a guy who is having a huge crush on me, and... I want to know who he is." Gabriella said with a serious tune.

"It... It's me... I like you Gabriella" James said looking serious making Gabriella to be surprise for a while but she laughed immediately. How could he possibly say that, James is joking again.

"Can You be serious?" Gabriella said not believing him.

"I'm damn serious... I have always wanted to tell you but I never had the chance, because your ghost brother always appear out of nowhere" James replied and Gabriella laughed

"Hey guys..." Cassandra said standing next to Gabriella with a smile.

"As expected he's here but thank God I got the chance to confess" James whispered to Gabriella and she just couldn't stop laughing.

"What's going on here?" Liam said coldly looking at James.

"We need to talk" James said dragging Liam with him.

"Why were you laughing?" Cassandra asked Gabriella after the two guys left.

"N.. Nothing" Gabriella replied smiling.

"Am I missing something... Don't tell me..." Cassandra could not finish her statement because Gabriella cut her off.

"No... It's not what you think... James just told me he like me" she said shyly. And Cassandra gasp in surprise.
