ROMEO'S POV
I was driving to school the next day when my phone began to ring, "who's this?", I asked.
"It's Cassie, my car broke down. I've sent you my location, please come get me", she said and ended the call.
What the hell! How did she even get my number? I had no choice but to go pick her up, I was so irritated to even talk.
"You've been quiet since, is everything okay?", she asked when we got to school.
I got down from the car and she did same, she was about talking when I walked away. Argh! She's such a headache!
I entered the class and Lucille was already there, thank goodness. I thought she'd wait for me to come get her like yesterday.
"I've been calling you, what made you late?", I read from a note which was passed to me.
I searched around and Lucille whispered it's from her, not like I heard it, I just read her lips.
"I didn't see your call, I'm so sorry, also, I had to go get Cassandra", I wrote beneath her letter and passed it back to her.
"Pray the teacher doesn't see what you're doing", Xander said to me.
The note was passed back to me and I opened to read it.
"I was also waiting for you tho, anyways it's good you're her", I raised my head to look at her. I could tell she wasn't happy.
The class was very long, I felt very hungry. We left to get lunch immediately the class ended.
"Hey, you didn't call me to join you", Casandra said sitting beside me.
"Why would he want to call you?", Lucille asked.
"Well I'm in his care", Cassandra responded.
Lucille rolled her eyes in annoyance. I knew Cassandra would just piss her off, so changed the subject.
"I'm going to get juice, I know you want an orange juice Xander, Lucille wants a grape juice, what of you Cassandra?", I asked.
"I want an apple juice", she responded and I couldn't believe I had something in common with her, so annoying.
I brought the juice and when Cassandra saw I bought two apples she smiled.
"At least we have something in common", she said grabbing her juice.
After sipping, she placed it on her left hand side and mine was on my left hand side also.
When we were almost done, I stretched my hand to get my juice but Cassandra beat me to it.
Before I could say a word, she took a sip of it.
"What the hell Cassandra, that's mine", I said angrily.
"OMG! Does that mean we just kissed", she replied.
I stood up and walked away angrily, she's such a pain in the ass! Is this my punishment for something bad I did?
"Congratulations Romeo", I heard someone say behind me.
The voice sounded familiar, I turned around and it was Clifford. He was with Evanda.
"Congratulations for?", I asked confused.
"For being selected as part of the models, I applied too but I wasn't chosen", he responded and smiled.
Why on earth is he being friendly with me. I smiled back at him, "Thanks", I said and turned to leave.
"I'm sorry Romeo, I was a jerk for ruining our friendship", Clifford said suddenly.
"I'm not mad at you Clifford, I understand why you did that, but we can't be like how we used to be", I replied.
"Won't you apologize to me?", Xander asked standing behind Clifford and Evanda.
"You know me Xander, I say a lot of things when I'm angry or hurt. I didn't mean any of the things I said. I'm sorry", Clifford said to Xander.
"You took it far this time around Clifford, I also don't think we can go back to how we were", Xander replied.
"I think we can, one step at a time. We can have lunch together always", Evanda said.
I really miss them, I know Xander also does. It won't hurt to give our friendship a second chance, would it?
"Hey Xander, how about we give it a try?", I asked looking at Xander.
He just raised an eyebrow at me and chuckled.
"Okay sure, lunch together", he said.
On our way to class, I suddenly thought of something. If Xander was here with me, does that mean Cassandra and Lucille are still together?
"Did you leave Lucille with Cassandra?", I asked Xander.
"Yeah, I finished my food so left", he replied.
I hope Lucille is okay, Cassandra would just try pissing her off.
"There's a fight!! There's a fight in the cafeteria!!", a guy yelled entering our class.
"A fight? Between who?", a girl in my class asked.
"Lucille and Cassandra!", he responded.
My legs moved on its own, why would Lucille fight with her? I know Cassandra is annoying but she should've ignored her.
I was surprised when I got there, Lucille slapped Cassandra countless times. Cassandra was helpless, she had blood flowing from her nose. I rushed over and pushed Lucille from her, but I pushed a little hard because Lucille fell on the floor. Her head hit the table in the process, there was blood everywhere. I was in total shock!
Xander rushed to her and carried her, he removed his uniform and covered the part of her head that was bleeding.
He also applied pressure, so she doesn't lose plenty blood.
"She's unconscious! Call the doctor, call someone. She can't fuc**n die like this!", Xander yelled.
He was trembling, he was clearly scared. I was surprised when he brushed his hands through Lucille's hair and kissed her forehead.
The ambulance arrived and took Lucille away, I entered with Cassandra, Xander and a teacher.
"Pray nothing bad happens to her!", Xander said looking at me.
I felt tears flowing down my cheeks, I was so scared.
We got to the hospital shortly and they took Lucille away, Cassandra also went to see the nurse. She returned after sometime.
"What caused the fight between you two?", I asked looking at Cassandra.
"She..she, Lucille started it", she replied stammering.
"Liar!", Xander said angrily.
"I'm speaking the truth, she asked me to stay away from you. I refused and she suddenly slapped me", Cassandra said.
"Lucille would never do that, liar!", Xander said angrily again.
We were approached by a nurse, she asked us to go wait outside because we were noisy.
"Are you sure what you're saying is true?", I asked Cassandra and she nodded her head.
"Okay, I'd ask Lucille when she's up", I added.
"I'm afraid she's going lie, she told me she'd lie to you. She'd tell you I said something about her brothers death and that's why we fought", Cassandra said looking tearful.
She looked like she was being honest, but I can't believe Lucille actually said all that. I guess I'd just have to wait for her to gain her consciousness.
"You're unbelievable Romeo, you shouldn't even think about this. Cassandra is lying to us, there's no way Lucille would do all that", Xander said clearly irritated.
"I can see you've been brainwashed by her, she's not an angel", Cassandra said angrily.
"Also, you people should stop calling me Cassandra! Call me Cassie", she said and walked away angrily.
"Coming to think of it, why did you push Lucille that hard?", Xander asked.
"It wasn't intentional, let's go check on her", I said and walked away.
I wanted to ask him why he kissed Lucille, but it would be a stupid question. It was obvious he loves Lucille.
Why didn't I notice it soon, all the signs were there. What would I do if this ruins our friendship?
When we entered the hospital, we saw out teacher talking to the doctor so we rushed to them.
I got even more scared when the doctor said Lucille would temporarily loss her memory of the incident that caused her injury.
The doctor then said she was up so we could go visit her.
"I'm going to call the school, you guys can go ahead. I'll join you shortly", the teacher said and left.
I felt reluctant to go see her, what if her memory comes back when she sees me? Xander was right, she'd be so mad at me.
"Are you going to stand there forever? Let's go", Xander said to me.
"I thought I was here alone, it's good to see you guys", Lucille said when we entered.
"Are you okay?", I asked holding her hands.
"Not really, my head is hurting. What happened?", she asked looking at me.
"I'm the cafeteria, erm.. you..", I didn't know what to say.
"The doctor said you'd temporarily forget about what happened. You'd remember after some days, I think it would be better if you remembered on your own", Xander said.
"Thanks", I whispered to him.
