And Then There Were Four

Roaming hands and heated moments were things I wasn't accustomed to. I had always preferred one-night stands and quick satisfaction, so this was beyond mind blowing, and caught up in the moment, I seemed to forget completely about what was going on around us, including where I was.

"Whoa, so much for not liking him." A voice called out, stopping Lucas and me in our tracks.

There before me were Sansa and Trixie, staring at the compromising position Lucas and I were in. Pushing against him, the interrupted moment caused him to loosen up his grip and, with my push, he let go and stumbled back with a smile.

"Geez, no need to get aggressive, Cassie," he muttered as I quickly adjusted myself, embarrassed by being caught.

"Go fuck yourself, Lucas." The grumbled response caused Sansa to snort with laughter as she looked everywhere but at me.

Stepping close again, he brushed his fingers down my arm, leaving a trail of erotic sensations running through my body. "Don't act like you didn't enjoy that."

"Oh, I hope you did," I replied teasingly before letting my smile fall. "Because it will never happen again. Stay away from me... I'm not the girl you want."

Pushing past him, I made my way towards Sansa and Trixie, gesturing for them to follow me. The last thing I wanted was for him to tell them anything, but no matter how I tried to tell myself that once again, the shared kiss with him was nothing I couldn't. "So-" Trixie started to say before I quickly glared at her. "Nevermind..."

****

It took twenty minutes to get back to the place where I was staying, and the entire time we walked, I listened to Sansa and Trixie talking about the party that was supposed to be happening this evening. Some back to school thing that excited them.

"I think this season is going to be more chaotic than usual with how everyone is already acting," Sansa commented, causing Trixie to laugh.

"No kidding. Especially with our two new pupils." Looking at me as she spoke, a mischievous grin crossed her lips. "You're coming tonight, right?" "Coming to what?"

"That party?" Sansa replied. "Were you listening to anything that we said?"

Shaking my head, I gave them a sheepish grin had been too preoccupied thinking about Lucas and the fight with Pollux to think.

about anything else. Now that

"badass" mood was gone, I felt

my

embarrassed for acting out the way I

did.

I didn't like being the center of attention, and I had literally just painted a target on my back in a good and bad way. "No, sorry guys, I just have a lot on my mind."

"You mean like Lucas?" Sansa grinned as Trixie playfully elbowed her.

"No, other things." The response was meant to be vague, but it didn't work. They knew I was lying by the way they busted out laughing. "I'm serious..."

"Sure you are. Regardless, you're coming tonight," Trixie said pointedly as she looped her arm through mine and pulled me down the hallway towards my room. "Come on, there is a lot to do before dark." "Guys, I can't... I have homework-"

Never in my life had I used

homework as an excuse to get out of a party, and now here I was, doing just that All because I didn't want to face anyone who had seen me act crazy today out in the arena. "Don't be silly, Cassie. You're going and I'm going to make you look hot, so stop worrying."

The two women didn't give me much room to protest as they quickly dragged me into my

bedroom and plopped me down on the round vanity chair that sat in front of a large lighted mirror + wore makeup and made myself look good on occasions.

However, I wasn't the kind of girl that obsessed over it.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Not like Trixie and Sansa seemed to be.

"Trixie, you tackle hair and makeup and I will look for the perfect outfit." Sansa directed as Trixie nodded and quickly got to work. "Guys, seriously, I don't want to go—"

"You're going," they both replied in unison, causing me to groan as I rolled my eyes.
