And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

"Yeah, don't I always," he sneered with irritation. "You're not going, though."

"Excuse me?" Laughter escaped me at his comment. Every time there was a party, he tried to ensure I couldn't go, and yet I always found my way there despite his efforts. "You can't tell me what to do, Pollux." Gripping the steering wheel, he turned his gaze towards me as anger seethed in his eyes. "Cass... I'm not telling you again."

As soon as the truck pulled into his parking space, his many groupies flocked to the vehicle, wanting to be the first ones to greet him. And quickly I was a ghost of a thought.

It was just how I liked it, though, and as my eyes landed on Melissa-with two cups of coffee-my excitement for school grew. "Have a fabulous day, brother dearest. Try not to catch something from these whores."

Stepping out of the truck, I ignored Lux's snappy comeback as I beelined straight for Melissa. Leggings and a hoodie were her favorite and as I approached her messy bun, no makeup look, I couldn't help but smile. "Oh my god, you're a lifesaver right now." Smirking, she shrugged her shoulders as she took a sip of her coffee. "I take it the morning drive was eventful?"

Eventful would be an understatement. "If you only knew."

Laughter fell between Melissa and me as we walked toward the towering brick building in front of us. The echoing sound of the school bell rang in the distance as the many voices of students rushed to class past my ears.
