...bitch meets boy

Chapter Twenty-six: Cas

Cas and her friends had made their way to her form room and they ensured her entrance was brought to the attention of everyone in the room, especially Karl. As she stepped through the doorway, Cas couldn't help it but the first thing she noticed was that Matt still hadn't arrived. She stood bewildered, Matt didn't have any friends, where could he- But Lexi cut her thoughts off with a subtle nod in Karl's direction. Of course, I have more important things to be spending my time on.

She pursed her lips and then opened her mouth slightly, making the face that every model does when posing for a shoot. Adjusting her posture, she began to walk towards Karl, he stared at her in awe and she fluttered her lashes, glancing away in fake embarrassment as they made eye-contact.

Then, once all of the boys in the class seemed to be watching her, she changed course and headed to her seat - the rule is: always play hard to get, even when you want them too, that way, they'll want you more.

Sitting down on top of her desk, side on to Karl, she opened up her bag and popped out a piece of gum. Placing it on her tongue, she began to chew. By now, all of her friends had found a way to their places and she giggled with Lexi at her performance and how it had immediately found all of the boys in the room giving her the googley eyes.

Suddenly, Cas heard silence descend and she jumped off her desk as she rightly assumed it was due to Mr Smith's presence. In the aisle, she flicked her hair across her shoulders and sorted out her skirt. Hearing a quiet "Excuse me." she glanced up to see that she was blocking Matt's way.

Apologizing, she took her seat and, leaning forward, gave Matt a perfect view of - well, I'd rather not say. He carried on walking, seemingly unaware. The knot in her stomach brought itself to her attention once again and she was reminded of the words she had read in his diary. Then, as her name was called in the register, Lexi caught her attention and signalled Matt with her eyes.

Cas shook her head and rolled her eyes, no-one could know the truth.

On the way out of the classroom, Karl pinched her bum and she let out a flirty giggle as Matt walked past.

"I'm sorry for last week babe, you okay?"

"Aw, Karly-boo... 'Course I am!"

"Let's bunk off first period," he suggested.

"But what would we do?"

"We could exercise your tongue muscles, I'm sure you must be out of practise" Cas looked away in disgust, begging that Matt hadn't heard.

She turned back to him. "I wouldn't be so sure, but a little more practise couldn't hurt."

They set off toward the science block, a place commonly known for its solitude and silence. The fact that, due to dangerous chemicals in the labs, students were never allocated science classrooms as their form rooms and that there was only one science teacher who was a loony old man, meant that the science corridor tended to be very empty.

As Karl and Cas settled into their old routine, Cas realized how much she had actually missed being with him. The buzz she felt as he touched her skin carried itself past the bell and they decided in hushed tones to skip their second class as well.

He pushed her up against the lockers and a little moan escaped her mouth.

The squeak of a door echoed throughout the corridor and Cas heard a gasp. Pulling away from Karl's vice-like grip, she turned towards the sound. Karl kept kissing her but she pulled away as she saw who it was.

"Hey. Um... Sorry, I gotta get to my locker for my PE kit."

"Yeah. Yeah, sure." She faltered.

He walked towards her. And, after turning around and scowling at him, Karl took hold of her hips.

"What are you looking at?"

"My... Um, my locker... It's behind you..."

"Oh, fuck off lover boy. Can't you see we're busy?" He planted his lips firmly on Cas' mouth and Matt clenched his jaw, looking away.

Cas gently pushed Karl away so that they could leave space for Matt to reach his locker but Karl pushed her back, forcing her into the space.

She shoved him away, slapping his shocked face.

Glaring at Matt, she strutted towards the door and left both boys staring at her in awe.

Making her way down the empty hallways, she rushed to the girl's changing rooms, not wanting to be late for her PE class. Getting changed quickly, she ignored the many remarks of her friends who were pestering her about what she'd done and how far she'd gone with Karl.

Seeing this unusual change in character, Lexi brought her aside and asked what had happened and why Cas wouldn't speak to anyone.

"My mind's just a little occupied with Matt at the moment..."

"You don't honestly like that boy do you?"

"No! I've been thinking of ways to expose him, duh!"

"Ha ha, that's my girl!" Lexi patted Cas on the back and they made their way to the gym.

Ahh!! I hated this chapter because it kind of reveals another side of Cas and shows how she feels forced to act this way... I hope you liked it, what do you think?
